Sun First Solar

Hello Megan,
Thank you for the reminder to write up a review, which I just completed. Now I see that there is a link to “click into Google” to past my review.
We sometimes have difficulty interacting with Google. So just incase I am not able to submit my review via Google, I am including a copy of here.
Kind regards,

Sun First Solar did an EXCELLENT JOB installing our solar system. Wyn Hoag and the rest of the folks at Sun First Solar kept us informed every step of the way thru the installation process, including removing our old updated solar system, and then installing the new solar panels, the back up batteries and all the rest of the system components. And whenever I called their office with a question, there was someone available to respond. I would highly recommend Sun First Solar anyone who is considering a new solar system or who is interested in upgrading their older system.
As mentioned above, Wyn Hoag and the rest of the team at Sun First Solar made the whole process of upgrading our solar system easy and enjoyable!

Braden has a "non-sales" approach focused on providing information. He ensured that I could get what I needed on time for PG&E regulatory changes, and he was very easy to communicate with via email, text, phone, and in person. Best of all, he was unbiased and equally attentive in communicating with my wife. If you're serious about getting solar power, you should talk with Braden.

From start to finish, Sun First Solar distinguished themselves with insight into solar design, installation, and maintenance. Their services team was professional and hardworking. Very good communication, great documentation, and a great result.

Very professional and informed! Service and the quality of the installation was top-notch. I was in the industry for 7 years, and SunFirst has always been a strong company with years of experience and integrity. Many local solar companies (like ours) have come and gone, but SunFirst has remained steadfast. It's important to go with a local installer with a good reputation! Braden walked us through the net metering labyrinth at PG&E, and provided practical options for storage. He wasn't trying to sell us, but rather inform us.

Sun First Solar have been very responsive and efficient to work with. They worked fast to get our contract in before the NEM3.0 deadline in 2023. They interfaced very well with the roofing company to remove old panels, and install the new panels after the new roof was installed. They have also interfaced very well with the electrical contractor as our main panel was being replaced and there was a new set of conduits/gutters to interface to.
They also worked with the fire department to have our installation approved so that setbacks and skylight clearances were negotiated and approved to give us the maximum installation area.
Aran and his team have helped me to understand some of the other choices and tradeoffs regarding batteries, and implemented the equipment to make it easy to add additional equipment later as I assess my needs.
Overall, I would certainly recommend them.

Braden was knowledgeable, friendly and able to answer all questions we had. We requested additional estimates changing the amount of panels and he was able to send us the new estimate within an hour. His responses were always fast and backed up with diagrams.

We had had a few estimates from multiple solar companies. We went with Sun First because when Braden came out he was so knowledgeable and had done his research on our house. No other company had the panels placed where he did for the maximum sun exposure. The team at Sun First, worked with our roofing company to do the new roof and solar install together. Within a month of the estimate we had them installing the panels and they were up and running immediately. We are so happy with our solar and had an amazing experience!!
