California Solar Installation Reviews
Rating
I needed to get my roof re-done, which meant removal & reinstall of the existing solar. Throughout the entire process Melissa was fantastic. It was tricky to coordinate with both Current Home and my roofer (and the city for permits). Melissa went above and beyond in her communication and was incredibly nice to work with. She kept me in the loop and understood my situation perfectly. The crew who actually came out and did the remove & reinstall were nice, professional and efficient. I would absolutely work with Current Home again.
Everything went well from all of the crew that worked to put the solar panels in and the Electricity Panel. Thank you
Elaine Crawford was my sales rep. She did a fabulous job. She explained everything completely and was very patient about any questions. *** Above and beyond the call of duty helped me fill out the paperwork for the rebate I think she’s the type of person that will always be available to help you She’s very accommodating, and an appointment with her is comfortable, no hard selling.
Current homes has been an excellent company to have working on my solar! They have fantastic customer service, Amiah and Elaina have been fantastic with communication and getting everything dialed in around my work schedule. The process was fairly fast regarding plans, permits, install and city approval as it took approximately 4-6 weeks. I received other quotes from sunrun, etc but their customer service was complete opposite of current homes (sunrun even rudely hung up on the phone with me). Glad I stuck with my choice to proceed with current homes!
Robert Cambensy was my contact, very knowledgeable and professional, answered all my questions and delivered as agreed upon! The installation crew was on time and thorough and cleaned up after the job, overall very satisfied
We had the pleasure of meeting KD, whom was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process and helped us understand solar more. After installation he was able to come and show us how to use the system. He was always available if we had any follow questions, and we appreciate that.
We are new to solar and K.D. was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and ensuring we understood how the process works. It was easy from start to finish and we are excited that it was completed in a timely manner just in time for the hotter temperatures. If you are looking for a trustful solar company, I highly recommend K.D. Sanders and Current Home!
My experience with Current Home has been exceptional. From the very beginning, the process was easy, efficient, and refreshingly streamlined. After researching different TPOs for over a year, I can honestly say that Current Home proved to be the best option by far. Their professionalism, simplicity, and overall customer experience made this an easy decision, and the positive reviews from other customers only reinforced that I was making the right choice. I would strongly encourage anyone who is even considering a system to at least look into Current Home and see what they have to offer. I have been extremely pleased with my experience, and I would be more than happy to speak with anyone who would like to hear about it directly.
I had an excellent experience working with Current Home, and I want to give a special shoutout to Heaven U. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient as she walked me through all my options. What really stood out was her ability to secure a better deal than any of the competitors I had spoken with. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and I truly felt like she had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Current Home, and especially Heaven U., to anyone considering going solar.
It’s because of Max Lyons I am going with Current Home. He spent hours with me helping me going over everything. I was deciding between Currert Home, Sunrun, Semper Solaris and a local contractor and I ultimately decided to go with them because Max made me feel the most assured that I was in good hands.
I wanted to give a shout out to Melissa for being extremely proactive. She has cleared a lot of the turmoil many of us Sunnova customers has experienced. I recommend you connecting Melissa and Current Home for your solar, backup battery, and roofing needs. Tell them Darryl sent you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Solar Panels Increase Property Taxes in California?
No, they don’t. Many property owners have concerns about whether installing solar panels in California will increase their property taxes. However, the state mandates that when a property owner adds something valuable to the real property, such as a solar energy system, its assessed market value will be included in its base value for the year.
Fortunately, installing residential solar systems in California will not result in a higher tax assessment of the existing real property. As of March 2022, this law is in place through the end of 2024
Does California Buy Back Electricity from Solar Panels?
Yes – California residents can sell excess electricity. However, with the passing of NEM 3.0, this buy back program has changed significantly and has made battery back ups a great option to pair with solar panels.
