Met with semper Solaris six weeks ago. From the day I made the appointment over the phone to when I met with Blake L I felt really comfortable with them. Blake had a really impressive presentation that three other companies had no such thing. Explained a lot. They installed my system in 2 days because they had to upgrade my main electrical panel. Looks great and really happy to be done paying Edison. Great service

I had a consultation with Mark I at Semper Solaris. Mark was punctual into coming to my home and very polite. He was beyond knowledgeable about the solar world, which put me at such an ease. Mark made sure to answer my 20 million questions (without getting annoyed ) and provided me with options for solar in my home. I would recommend Semper Solaris for anyone looking to have solar.

We couldn’t have had a better experience. Nicole L from Semper Solaris was so helpful answering our questions and handling all the hard parts. I never had to worry about permits, financing and contractors because she took care of everything. Now our solar panels are producing more energy than we ever dreamed and we aren’t paying SDG&E anything! We couldn’t be happier and hope everyone calls Semper Solaris because they are incredible.

Today semper Solaris finished my solar installation that took only two days. They did a great job. From the day I met Blake who was our rep, he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. The whole project took 6 weeks and we got American made panels because we really didn't want imported panels. They also have 25 year warranty on them which is awesome. Thanks

The crew at Semper Solaris where amazing. The first initial meeting with Genevieve was where we got all the info on how the install would go and it went just as planned. The office staff Veronica and Vinney where also very informative on what was going on and where we would be week by week. Our system was installed in 6 weeks from meeting with Genevieve. Our project manager Mark and his crew where awesome and very clean on the install. I would definitely recommend this team for your solar needs.

We had Semper Solaris do our solar panels. Our experience w semper has been great. Now we don't need to worry so much about running that A/C a little more during the hot summer months. Throughout the entire process, Caesar L was excellent and supportive, as were other members of the SemperSolaris Team. To us, dealing with regular people and also with military backgrounds was the key reason why we chose them. We love our Solar so far!

I interviewed 4 different companies to get a quote for going solar after getting a ridiculous SDG&E bill. I went with Genevieve at Siempre Solaris. She was the most professional person I spoke to. She explained everything to me in a way I that I could understand. The company kept me up to date in every aspect of the install with telephone calls and emails right up until the turn on date. The whole process took less time than they estimated I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Siempre Solaris. And thank you Genevieve!

Semper Solaris is the best when it comes to customer service. If you are military they truly honor our vets. We got a great deal for my husband's service and nothing but stellar service. They were on top of letting us know what the next step was and where we stand in the build out. After "interviewing" several other provides we decided on Semper Solaris just because of the customer service we received from Rhami H. He was very informative and went above and beyond to get us the best deal out there. If I could give them more stars I would.

Roland O from Semper Solaris was awesome to work with, and since we are new to the whole solar process he was very helpful, he met with us and explained every aspect of the process and even answered questions the other companies wouldn’t. I would recommend him to anyone looking for solar, his customer service was excellent and if we had any questions that would arise he responded to inquiries in a timely manner, he has been great about keeping us updated as to where we are in the whole process.

I had a great experience with Semper Solaris from start to finish. Genevieve J did a fantastic job of explaining the different types of systems available and had a very informative, no pressure presentation. Michael C did an outstanding job as a Project Manager as well making the whole process simple and easy. My system is working great the monthly savings are already making a huge difference! I’ve already recommended Semper Solaris to my close friends and would easily do it again Thanks Semper Solaris!

Semper Solaris is the best, from start to finish! Salesman: Chase. No-pressure sales or negotiating because their prices are already the lowest. They assign a project manager who keeps you informed at every stage. Twenty panels installed in less than a day; I didn’t even have to be home. They coordinate with city permits and SDG&E (utility) to make the project seamless. Get multiple bids if you like, but you’ll end up going with Semper Solaris.

John R from Semper Solaris was very prompt in returning any questions I had and always found the answers to any questions regarding the solar installation. We’re very happy with our Solar panels, the employees who installed the panels were very clean with the installation and explained what they were doing while they were at the home. I had many quotes that were competitive in price although Semper was the best company and best price with quality Sunpower Panels. Thank you!

Over the last few years, I was told by four different solar companies that my roof design would not allow me to receive more than 50% return on my electric use. Semper Solaris installed 17 Sun Power panels which will supply 108% of my electrical use. Semper did an excellent job. They were very fast and clean in their installation. I want to thank the installation team, my Project coordinator,Veronica, and of course Genevieve J. who explained everything in detail and found the right panels to produce my energy.

Rhami & John R. and the shadow crew at Semper Solaris were quick, professional and knowledgeable regarding the new installation of solar power for us. They did what they said they would, performed the work on time and even scheduled us sooner than the original date. We highly recommend getting a quote from this company and letting Rhami and crew perform the magic of solar. Thank you Deb D.

We are so happy we picked Semper Solaris! Finally the monthly dread of the SDGE bill is gone! From start to finish the process was easy! Our first look at solar was with Costco... then we met with Mark A. at Semper Solaris and we are so glad we did! Semper's system, SunPower is a clear winner! We then worked with Veronica and Mark K and the process was a breeze! Great customer service and professionalism throughout! Thank you!!

After interviewing three other solar companies I had Joshua come out. Joshua walked the property with me and we discussed my options . I didn't want the panels on the house roof. I wanted them on my barn .Joshua was the only salesman that said it was possible.I heard everything I wanted to hear.I was kept in the loop, by Billie Jean Y and Jim J,right down to the moment I was able to see my system producing on my laptop. It was an unexpected pleasure talking to Billie Jean and doing business with Semper Solaris. I made the right choice. Rod and Linda Terra

Flawless experience from start to finish -- Installation was quick and the workmanship was excellent. In a lot of installs I've seen, the conduits are left unpainted, but they matched my house color, and my roof color. They offered one year no interest financing, so I was able to save up and pay it off completely all at once. Utility bill went from $350.00 to $10.00. Needless to say, I am happy with the result!

Re: Semper Solaris My project was for a new roof and solar. Jenny D. had the challenging job of trying to keep the customer happy and liaise with the various project departments. Good communication was the key. Randy the roofing supervisor was also very helpful and went out of his way to make things right. The project hit a few road blocks that needed decisions and in some cases corrective action, but my concerns were addressed each time to my satisfaction, so overall it was a positive experience.

We had our original installation done by Semper Solaris a couple of years ago, and recently realized - because we just don't want to cut down some of the beautiful trees on our property - we needed to add a few panels to optimize our power output. Semper made it easy from start to finish, and the communication was very good. A+ in Sales and in Service

This is my second large project with Semper Solaris. Both were entire house projects. Michael C. coordinated both of our projects. I used them again because they deliver in every area they promise. Our systems were quickly installed, they looked great, and deliver more power than promised. They were patient with questions and considerate with our needs. If I need another, I’ll use them again. No way I’ll use another company.

Doing Solar plus battery has been a game changer for making my home green. Semper Solaris was a great choice because they are veteran owned, and really know the SunPower Product. I was impressed by the information I received from Anela on Sales, and Mark K. on after Sale support. The install team was courteous and professional and kept me updated throughout the process. Im looking forward to completing the battery install which will help my save money and work essentially off the grid and not rely on SDGE.

From the first point of contact with Mark I. and all the way through the project with Michael C., their responsiveness, customer service and pricing was absolutely superior.

I spoke with 5 other solar installation companies before choosing Semper Solaris. The installation crew was great and they installed 14 SunPower panels with an attic run in one day. Our customer care officer, Jenny D., was fantastic. I must have contacted her over 30 times with questions about the system and installation and she was prompt and courteous every time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

From interview to on line with SDGE, could not have been quicker. Have 5 co-workers that had solar installed by 5 different company's and all of them waited much longer after install to get approval from SDGE. Friendly and reliable. When they had problems with my roof tiles, they went out and bought and replaced. I've had for over a year now and still have a negative balance on my electric. Glad I went solar with Semper Solaris. Panels and warranty with individual panel monitoring can't be matched.

We added solar in 2015 and we just had our roof replaced. I really enjoyed working with John R. and the crew. They did a really professional job and the neighbors were watching. They cleaned up everyday and when mistake were made John made sure all my concerns were addressed immediately. I would recommend this company to anyone for roofing and solar. They are top notch.

We purchased a solar system from Semper Solaris approximately 3 years. The owner actually came to our home and did the presentation which was very low key. We had other people out but I never felt comfortable with them. Anyway we put up 19 panels and it's the best thing we ever did. SDG&E bill every month leaves us with no payment and the system has had no problems. I would recommend them to anyone.

Clean, easy, well-explained transaction. Careful installation. over all excellent experience . Very competitive pricing. Company run by retired military. High ethical standards. Cash transaction, billed as estimated. The firm is so popular we were required to wait 2 months for installation. Cleaned up immediately upon completion. No problems for 2+ years. Uses only USA products.

They were on time and kept their word in every case. Repaired my roof when tiles were broken. I love the ability to see daily what is happening on my computer. I was grandfathered in with my power company and beat their new rate increase. If I have a question they are there for me in a very timely manner. No more electric bills. We recently went to an electric dryer to save on our gas bill. We still produce enough power to cover that, our air conditioning and all of the rest. It actually looks good on the roof. A 25 year guarantee is pretty nice.

A little slow on getting the permitting done, but other than that full thumbs up for these folks so far. Transparent with their production assumptions, reasonably conservative, etc. They use Sunpower panels, among the highest efficiency & reliability anywhere (some good enough for NASA), with the lowest degradation rate I've seen with a long warranty period. Panels designed but not made in the USA, but neither is the iPhone (nor any top tier cell phone). Other places go in hard for the sale, like a bunch of used car salesmen, how much you're going to save, blah blah. Don't fall for empty promises of production in the sales pitch, if it's not on paper/in contract, you don't have proof legally, and CSLB doesn't care beyond failure to operate/destroying your house during installation; output promises not met you have to take it to small claims yourself CSLB say. Do your own research & calculations to get a trustworthy evaluation of what to expect from a system. Production projections within warranty period ? Check. Panel maker not filing for bankruptcy? Check. Degradation rates supported by warranty/mfr data? Check. Search other sites, and see "not recommended" reviews on those sites to see the hidden story of what sellers you might be dealing with, interestingly Sempers average would go up rather than down. These guys are much better than the company in my look into getting solar last year, and the price $2k lower than that prior quote to boot.

Signed on with Semper Solaris about a year ago. They use Sun Power panels which are made in the US and very high efficiency. The Semper crew arrived on installation day at about 7am and were done by 1pm. They were professional, organized, and left the job site clean and me a happy customer. I am able to monitor kw production through the supplied Sunpower app.

For what it is worth, their customer service was better than the average of the other solar companies that I contacted and they delivered what they said that they would. One of my concerns was with the actual time that they took in getting back to me, which was acceptable, however, if you are a very busy person and do not have the time to continually spend time chasing them down, you will find yourself spending more time than you would like. Additionally, if you want something out of their normal products that they install, then you are really entering uncharted territory as their knowledge on battery backup, off-grid, and generator integration is, or was at the time that they performed my installation, non-existent. I have attempted to contact them regarding these items since, and have not heard anything back from them at all to date. These items are what my score really reflects. If they had informed me of the challenges that they were facing with respect to my requests in a timely manner, rather than me having to contact them, then I would have rated them higher. They were able to at least get the items that I requested to be able to use battery backups and generator input based upon my research. So, that was great. As for their installation teams, they were great, cordial, very efficient, and attentive to detail. They did arrive a little late the first day without calling to let me know, though. The hardware is definitely their strong point as it is top notch and the installation was completed just as stated. The performance has been great and the fact that they do not have a personal app that tracks performance and productivity has not really mattered as the Sun Power app has worked well even though it is a little light on features.
