I was not able to have my installation completed by Better Earth because the utility company was asking that I replace the incoming electrical line or move my gas meter. Having said that, I still need to give Better Earth a positive review because of the way Chris L worked with us trying to find a way to get the project completed. Even when we were looking at another installation company, Chris remained helpful and was willing to work with another installer to ensure we could get solar installed at our home. I don't think that many businesses are willing to go the extra mile like Chris did. Ultimately, we were able to get our deposit back even though Better Earth did incur some costs in our project. I would recommend Better Earth Solar to others looking for solar installers.

Justin T was beyond patient and detailed in explaining all of the benefits for getting solar for our home. He answered all questions, and concerns during & after business hours. He made himself available at all times, kept us in the loop throughout the process from the moment he offered his services to the date of install. He actually came out to our home and stayed the entire time until the install was complete. He is a true professional and goes above & beyond for his customers....we felt like family! Anyone wanting and or needing some knowledge and free information on getting Solar for your home....Justin T is your guy! Better Earth Solar Company is the quality solar panels your home deserves!

Nick W. and Anthony S. were our sales consultants and they both provided excellent services- from helping us determine what we needed and to making sure that we receive timely and supportive services from Better Earth. Giving local and smaller company our business was one of the most important factors in choosing Better Earth over Costco/Sunpower/Run etc., and Better Earth did not disappoint. We got straightforward answers to everything we're looking for. We hope Better Earth continue to operate in service excellence, honesty, and in taking care of the local communities clienteles who believed and trusted the company with their solar energy needs.

I've only had to contact them maybe twice, but both times, and bearing in mind that this has been during the pandemic, so everybody's customer service is not what it used to be, but they did get back to me both times within half an hour. So I thought that was exceptional because I've had to wait sometimes two to three days for other companies to get back to me. Installation was very smooth. It's a whole old house. It was built in 1928, so there were a lot of anomalies, but the crew solved every problem and they told me about every problem they had or any delay that there was or what they needed from me. So they were very open. They made sure they took everything with them. We have some low hanging lines that are not used, I think were cable, so they had to take that line down in order to get their truck in. So they did that and contacted the city and let them know that they had had to take that line down so that someone could come and remove. So I thought their service was exceptional. I don't know how they could have done a better job. They got it installed within like three or four weeks of the time that I've actually signed the contract. Everything went perfectly smoothly. I don't know if I just happened to be lucky, but I don't think so. I think they have a system that they have implemented that they always follow and so everything seemed to go really smoothly.

I got a bunch of solar quotes and Better Earth had the nicest, not pushy, really easy to talk to sales person. And their prices were competitive. I felt that I could really communicate with. They were very patient even though I asked some fairly dumb questions and got kind of anxious. They've gone over the top; they were just lovely. Customer support is all done with a human touch, plus they know what they're doing. The one thing that I didn't like that they did was that they would send me all these bot messages. And the bot messages were wrong. They'd say this is going to happen on this day and it didn't. And then they would say things like, are you getting excited? And I talked to the salesperson about that and he said a lot of people like to be kept up to date.

I looked at a lot of different companies and I think it was the price that ended up being the deciding factor. The customer support was great. Every time I had a question, I called Marcel, and he would help me get in contact with someone from the office. Installation went really smooth. There is a site inspection first and then the installers came out and all my questions were answered. After that, another person came out to meet the inspector and it seemed to take a long time, but it actually happened within the time that Marcel said it would happen in the contract. The panels that ended up being installed are higher wattage than the system originally called for.

They were very professional. They returned calls and followed up when they said they would. They onstallatuon happened when they said it would. It went very fast and smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with our new solar system. It is working great and producing lots of electricity. It is very enjoyable to know that we are saving money but more importantly helping out the planet.

Going Solar was a learning experience. There are many departments within the BetterEarth company and there is the involvement of Southern California Edison and your city inspector. It is a very complicated process with multiple players that need to sync together. There were problems with my Solar process. But I was lucky to have my sales people, Andres M and Louisa as my advocates to go to bat for me when I needed help. My Solar System has been in operation for 1.5 billing cycles. I am enjoying using my air conditioner when the weather is hot as opposed to sweltering to avoid the high energy costs. At the end of the Solar process, everything is working like it should. The first half billing cycle gave me a $22 credit and the second full billing cycle gave me a $56 credit. Before Solar, my bill averaged $225 a month. However, 3 years ago my average bill was $80. SCE has proposed a 40% rate increase over the next 5 years and fee of an additional $56 monthly service fee a month if you make less than $180,000. This service fee is basically a gift to SCE for you being their customer. I am glad I went Solar. I am glad that Andres M and Louisa are my sales representatives for Better Earth. And I am glad I went with Better Earth because in the end everything works as it should and they were the only company that would install a solar system on my metal Cal PAC roof without re-roofing.

Title: Outstanding Service - 5 Stars for Marcus M at Better Earth Solar! I recently had the pleasure of working with Better Earth Solar and specifically with Mr. Marcus M. I must say that the experience has been nothing short of exceptional, and I am more than happy to give him and the team a well-deserved five-star review. Initially, I encountered a minor issue during the solar panel installation, as a small hole was accidentally made in my roof. After heavy rain, a water leak became evident near the wall, leaving water marks on the wood beam and wall surface. I immediately reached out to Better Earth, and they promptly sent a team to fix the exterior and stop the leak. This quick response was highly appreciated, and it demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction. The highlight of the experience was working with Mr. Marcus M, who was primarily responsible for the interior repair. I must admit, I was quite worried about the repair process, fearing that the damaged area wouldn't match the existing color. However, my worries were quickly put to rest as Marcus worked his magic and performed an astonishing job. The water stain on the interior surface completely disappeared, and now, I can't even tell where the issue was initially. Mr. Marcus M's attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship are truly commendable. His dedication to ensuring flawless repair is something that every customer hopes for. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome, and I want to express my gratitude to Marcus for his outstanding workmanship.
