Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions

Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions did a fantastic job on our solar install. We were specifically looking for a battery solution and solar became a natural addition as we did our research.

They were one of the first companies we talked with and Juan actually spent about 2 hrs answering all my initial Solar 101 questions before even making a site visit. After interviewing and receiving bids from over 11 companies, we decided to go with Sunlight due to their hands-on expertise and in-house installation team focus. We loved that it was the actual team members making the installation. It was actually Juan on the roof doing our initial measurements, Carlos on some of our install dates, and Issac on all install days.

Their pricing was in the middle of the range, and we felt a bit more reassured with their additional offering of Solar Insure on the install.

We did have a few challenges with the battery mount review process (a failed inspection due to a screw being flagged by a reviewer) and paperwork issues with PGE, but overall it was a purposeful step-by-step process to install and deploy.

While the system was active, we already endured through about 2 large black outs all without any issue. We didn't even know a black out existed until we looked outside and saw that we were the only house with lights on.

Overall installation took 2 days for panels and system, without battery. Waiting for San Jose inspection on battery mount which took 2 separate days due to the failed first inspection. Then final inspection. The entire duration during this part of the project (agreement sign to final inspection) took 11 weeks.

The time it took from final inspection to PGE finally issuing PTO was 12 weeks.

So overall timing from start to end of this project was a long 23 weeks. We wish it could have been quicker, especially with PGE, but that was out of our control.

Overall, we highly recommend Sunlight Electric-Cal Solutions for your solar and battery install needs.

Huge kudos to Juan, Carlos, and the Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions team! This was my first time going through the solar process, it's often confusing and there's a lot to think about.

Juan was very patient, always willing to meet me where I was at, trying to dial in the best solar solution for me and my needs; never upselling or pressuring you in anyway, shape, or form. I was referred by a great friend and I'm very pleased with the quality of service and product they offer.

5 stars all the way for this team!

I had a fantastic experience with Juan and Carlos from Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions. They arrived on time, actually 30 minutes early, for the property survey and electrical assessment for a ground-mount solar system. Both were very professional, taking detailed measurements and numerous pictures to ensure an accurate estimate. Juan's deep knowledge of equipment and his meticulous attention to detail were evident as he evaluated my existing electrical setup. Although I couldn't proceed due to budget constraints, I highly recommend Juan and his team for evaluating your solar project.

The solar panels are installed and functioning perfectly. The entire crew was very responsive and thorough. Carlos has always been responsive even late on a weekend night.
We highly recommend this company for reliability, thoroughness and being prompt and professional.

Sunlight repaired my 12-yr Enphase uInverter system after the original installer folded.   Sunlight was fast and fair on their roll and labor costs and had a very good response time.

The crew turned up in their alloted hour.  They were up on the roof straight away and isolated the problem within the hour.  The tech gave me a clear explanation of the faulty components and the remedy.  He had the components in his truck and replaced it there and then.   My system was quickly fully functional, with 24 panels producing full. power.

Carlos, the crew lead, was very professional and clear on the problem.

Very happy with Sunlight, their fair price, and their quality of service.  Also glad to support a local Dublin business. 10/10

We requested a quote from sunlight electri-cal and a representative stopped by to take a look at our electrical system and calculated different options. The proposal was among the most competitive ones we have received. The process was clearly explained to us and we are very pleased.

We need to remove and reinstall our solar panels due to reroof. Carlos and his team did a great job for our solar panel removal today. Carlos always responds on time and takes time to explain the work needed for our solar system. Today his team also did a stellar job - organized and efficient. We will definitely have them come back for the reinstallation and future PV system maintenance work. Highly recommend!

We have a broken inverter and unfortunately the warranty expired too. I did some research online, and tried a few other solar companies before I reached sunlight electric-cal company. But all of them didn't go well.

Have to say, Sunlight electrical-cal ended my nightmare experience with the solar inverter. It took a while to finally get work done because they need to do some research to find the right model etc.

Their employees are responsive and on time. Their price is reasonable. Overall I am happy with their service. It is worth a try if you need some help with your home solar system.

Carlos and Juan came by for initial diagnosis of inverter not outputting power to the grid.
It was due to the failed inverter and since it's out of warranty, Carlos researched and provided info on replacement inverter.
By the following week, Carlos installed the replacement inverter and generating power again to the grid.
Pretty prompt with response and installation of replacements, and no upsell of unnecessary work. I recommend them for anyone who may have inverter issue and not looking to be contacted by a salesmen trying to sell a new installlation.

Juan and his team were quick to find a schedule slot in the same week I called them to take a look at my offline solar system. They were able to diagnose the issues and make a few repairs in under an hour. I appreciate that they were willing to work on my existing system and not try to upsell me on replacing aging parts or buying new panels. I'll definitely be calling them back in the future!
