These guys are top notch. I echo everything recent posters have said. Quick and easy, almost too easy. Did our homework and had 4 other companies come and quote/sales pitch. Took a neighbors referral and signed with Mike (agree with other posters, this dude knows the business). We're in a new development that they understand the job and install like the back of their hand. From signing to being "off the grid" was 3 weeks. Install of 16 panels and 1 battery took 3 hours. Zero regrets.

All I got to say is Mike French! He is the man! He was nice, easy to talk to and explained everything that we needed to know and answered all of our questions. At the end of our consultation with him, we did not feel any pressure to hurry and sign up with his company. The installation crew came in on time on the day it was scheduled for and got everything done in one day. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who are looking into getting solar :)

We shopped around for a PV solution and decided to go with a Sunpower solution early. We looked around and checked out others and narrowed down to two companies and it came ultimately down to who could possibly get us in this year as we really wanted it in place before Christmas, plus we wanted to claim it for our tax rebates. As it was already late in the year, we thought the chances were slim, and were surprised when Mike got back to us and advised that not only could he confirm they could do it this year, the price he gave was below the other vendor. They knew our area and due to past

We just moved into a new home in a new development, so we definitely knew off the bat, a list of things that we wanted to invest into our home. Solar was one of the things on the list. We had a bunch of sales people from various companies come knocking on our door trying to sell their products and services. It was definitely overwhelming and a lot to take in as we are a family who moved from a town home to a single family home. It was definitely a big lifestyle and financial transition and took a few months to adjust to our new normal. When we finally settled in, the talk of solar came up again

Mike French has been my contact person since 2016 installation of 20+ Solar Panels. He has saved me a lot of money plus helping to save our planet. I have not had a single problem and am happy to have bought Made In America products where reliability is superior. Yes my panels are made in America. I have referred my friends to Mike French to use for their solar needs. Unfortunately one friend went with another company which went bankrupt during the pandemic. When their entire garage flooded due to faulty installation, they struggled to get in contact with their solar company. It was a stressful

SunPower by Ecosolar a locally owned Top tier company. Mike,Chris and the whole team have been a pleasure to work with. I installed my system back in 2012 and have had zero problems. I have saved thousands of dollars! Thank you so much! SunPower panels can't be beat in my opinion. The craftsmanship and details that the Tech team did on our Ohana's home was appreciated. Mike was super through with explanation of how everything top to bottom of the whole process and install would go. Mike shared critical information on my decision to go with SunPower! It's 2021 SunPower by Ecosolar
