Take note that everyone who has reviewed this company has given them 5 stars. This is not a trick- Don, Julio and all the crew at Pav are 5 star people who give a 5 star experience from sales pitch to system monitoring and maintenance tutorial. I am nothing but impressed and joyous with the entire process and I am a picky, IT geek who asks way too many questions.It took me a long time to make up my mind about what panels I wanted and, after deciding, it took a miracle from Pav Solar to get them due to financing. At first I wanted LG or Q-Cell panels and asked Don for a quote with those. After 2 weeks I decided I wanted Sun Power and started looking at the Sunpower dealers in the area e.g. Sun Solar. Through them I discovered that Sunpower wanted a credit score that was not possible for me through their credit system (Mosaic, which factors in more things than Credit Karma scores to lower it by more than 50 points) and that they would not take a cash payment. That made me think I could not get Sunpower. However, when Don found out I was looking for Sunpower he informed me that he was a Sunpower dealer and could get Sunpower panels. He redid his bid with Sunpower panels which, while not the top of the line Maxeon panels (which, tbh, were really expensive), were still better than most other panels and had the Sunpower warranty and integrated system, a major factor in my choice of Sunpower. Furthermore, Pav Solar accepted cash for the system- something no one else would do. So I got everything I wanted- badass E series panels, 20% over my yearly usage (at Dons suggestion, which was dead on), the sweet Sunpower/Pav Solar warranties- and the price was significantly lower than getting it through other Sunpower dealers. Im talking 3000 dollars less at the minimum. And there were no price changes after we signed the contract- Don and Julio did a thorough walk-through of the house before they drew up the official bid to make sure there were no surprises. Attic and everything. The sales/survey process was very easy, there was lots of contact and emails were thorough. Waiting for the install to begin was the hardest part as the permits and such (which Pav also handled perfectly) take time for the state to process. But once they are installing, they get going.It took no more than 2 days to install 21 panels on my tile roof and it was done in an incredibly professional manner. They got the framing up on the first day and all 21 panels up and linked together on the second day. On the third day they were tested by 25mph winds and rain without so much as a groan (sunpower also has very resilient mounts). The crew was prompt- at the house on the edge of town at 8am both days- as well as very nice and knowledgable if you had any questions. No tiles were broken and there are no cables or pipes showing. The design of the system- all panels facing south- makes my system look bigger than anyone elses on the street since I have all 21 panels very visible but looking clean from the street. I had debated putting panels on the east or west sides just to get extra direct sunlight in the morning or night but Don, who has a lot of experience, said that I would be better off with them all on one side for both installation and generation purposes and he was absolutely right. All electrical breaker boxes have been properly labelled and the wiring gauge is very healthy going between the panels and the boxes (twice the diameter of what I have in my house for other systems). After the system was activated and PGE had connected it into the grid Don and Julio personally came by and got the system on my wifi, checked the system for any problems, registered it with Sunpower and povided a tutorial on how to check the power generation through the website and app They also went over maintenance, pge bill and tax questions with us (as Don had in the initial sales process in great detail but in an understandable way, at least to me) and took a post-install photo for memories.Out of characters for this review but go with Pav!

We got PAV Solar for our home about 4 years ago. Still paying about $1200 in true up bill annually despite installing a much more energy efficient pool pump since the install. I recently tried to contact them about adding few more panels. Left a message w/ a Carla few months ago but no response. Contacted Don Godley, the salesman. He offered to email me a quote and but I still havent received it after several weeks. I texted him many times but all he does is promises to send it to me the next day.Pav Solar will quote you a cheaper price compared to the competition but their service afterwards is very poor from my experience.

Very professional performance from start to finish.

I had such a great experience with Pav Solar. Their staff is very professional, the install looks really clean and was done on time. My system is performing higher than expected! I would highly recommend Pav Solar!

Cant say enough good things about this company. Locally owned and take real pride in the work they do.Pav solar installed our solar system in January of 2016 and the whole process was really painless. The sales staff were very informative and not pushy. The installers were professionals and did top notch work. We really love how they took the time to hide the wires in the attic for a very visually pleasing installation. They even re stuccoed our house after upgrading our panel. And matched the paint as well.There is really nothing bad I can say about our experience. The system works great and they were really a pleasure to do business with. I would and have highly recommend Pav Solar and their parent company Pavletich Electric to anyone.

After receiving bids from four different solar contractors I decided to go with Pav Solar and have not regretted it.I have a 12.8kw roof mounted system with Sunpower panels on my house and they took care of everything from permitting to P.G.&E.Their personal were clean, polite and safe.With Pav Solar I got the best bang for my buck and am very happy with everything.

Pav Solar installed a new 120Kw roof mount solar system on our facility at Kern Steel Fabrication. They handled all the permitting issues including structural calculations required to support the new solar panels on an old metal roof structure. I would recommend them to other business who want to use solar power to help mitigate Californias crazy electric costs.

Being a person who is very methodical in decision making and then once the decision is made, very impatient for results/progress, I was very happy to work with Pav Solar. I spoke to another local company who needed 2 months lead time from contract signing to installation and failed to that even after installation there can be as much as a month delay for PG&E to grant PTO (permission to operate). I worked with Don Godley as my sales rep and I appreciated his straightforward upfront information and my numerous questions. They had similar financing options as the other company however the associated fees were more tolerable. Pav Solar team members were always on time, curteous, and professional. Do your research with solar but once you make the decision to go solar, give Pav a call, they wont pressure you just to discuss options and they handle their business with aplomb.

I definitely recommend Pav Solar. Installation was quick and clean (no conduit on the roof), the crew was professional, and we couldn’t be happier.

Higly recommend pav-solar. Great service, logical prices and very efficient product.

Awesome experience throughout every stepDefinitely recommend

Enjoying saving money on PGE. Having a credit balance for months is wonderful!!! Thank you Don Godley!!!

Excellent straight forward purchase and installation process

Actually took the time to hide the piping so all you see is pnales not a bunch of pipes going across you roof.
