Repower by Solar Universe

I wanted to get my solar panels in before the end of 2015, and this company delivered as they promised. I contacted several companies, some in this area, others out of town, and this company was the most responsive. Before making an estimate they sent an engineer over to get on my roof and measure the sunlight during the optimum time for measuring the light. It was set up and very thoroughly – the engineer walked around for over an hour taking light measurements from several spots on the roof. I had others come to the property, or give me an estimate based on the Google map of my home, and nobody spent the time or effort to configure the best layout to get the most of the panels. As an example, another company came as the sun was almost set, and spent under 15 minutes taking light measurements.
They sell high quality American or European manufactured panels, and are staffed locally. Because they are connected to REpower, they do get input from well-​trained engineers as to the final configuration. When I told them that I preferred micro-​inverters, they rewrote the estimate so that I could get the configuration that I wanted. The permit process was handled quickly by the firm, without any input from me at all other than signing the contract to get the work going. The panels were installed in the time frame promised without any delays other than a short rain delay. When the City’s engineer came to sign off on the electrical work done, he commented on what a good job the electricians did. No trash was ever left behind.
We obtained financing from an inexpensive solar loan from a community bank in nearby Santa Cruz. We also qualified for the state sponsored financing but the expenses related to that were high, and the interest rate not so great.
We had a monitor installed in our home that we can view with an Ipad app so we can check ourselves that all panels are functioning properly. Our power bill so far has been reduced significantly. I am glad I made the decision to work with this local company.
