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!!

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, William Prince 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.

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.

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.

About a month before I met Braden, I had a sales presentation experience with another large solar system sales/installation company. The rep as it turned out, was an independent contractor who fast-talked me into signing docs that looked like a contract to me, but he claimed was not indeed a contract. I exercised my cancellation right within 24 hours and vowed not to work with a large company, based in another state. Braden came in to my living room, first asked what I had in mind, then explained the strengths and weaknesses of my inexperienced plan. We worked through the reality of achieving my goals and the cost of doing so the right way. Additionally I had no expectation of taking advantage of the NEM 2 program as it was ending within two weeks and I knew there were many many potential buyers pushing to get PG&E approval before the onset of NEM 3. Braden’s team at Sun First somehow managed to get me approval for the expiring program even before I was able to get the downpayment for the project to them. I felt that this company was really trying to help me be successful for the long run. Three part project: New roof, main electrical distribution box upgrade, solar collection/storage. Three contractors working and communicating together to provide excellent, coordinated service. Sun First was timely working within the availability of the other two contractors who needed to do their parts first. They provided very professional installers who worked efficiently, courteously, and left me with very good information on how to maximize savings with my new system. I am approaching 1 year since installation and am very pleased with the way the system has worked through grid outages and especially through the difficult months of December - March when sun time is at it’s lowest for this location.

Sun First Solar is an excellent solar energy solutions provider! Twelve years ago, we chose Sun First Solar from the list of selected solar companies recommended by our employer’s sponsored study. Sun First Solar installed our solar panels, which have performed flawlessly over the years. The project was stress-free, on time, and on budget. Earlier this year, Sun First Solar completed a solar system at our son’s house. Once again, the company’s sales manager quickly worked on the design and proposal. The installation team timely completed the project in a professional and safe manner. Sun First Solar made sure city inspection and PG&E interconnection went smoothly and promptly. This month, Sun First Solar completed adding 12 more panels and a backup battery at our house. Over the years, our energy needs have increased as a result of air conditioning and electric vehicle charging. The battery is helping us manage our solar usage more efficiently while providing standby power in case of grid outages. From designing to contract to installation, Sun First Solar teams executed everything smoothly and professionally. We appreciated the crew’s hard work, safety protocols, and respect of our property.

From the start to finish, this company is a class act! The initial contact with the rep, Kurtis, was educational, interesting, and fun. He answered every question, knew the product completely, made sure the placement was perfect for our house, and kept in contact while waiting for the installation. During installation, the installers were fast, efficient, very neat, and patient with explaining how the Walls and the internet info worked together. When I had questions about the process, I always got the answer quickly from the office, and once (believe it or not) the CEO even called to give me a detailed answer to a question. It's been several years, and the Walls are fabulous--we don't even know that there have been blackouts because they kick in immediately. Best idea we ever had!! Kurtis is the nicest and most knowledgeable solar professional we've ever met. Knows the business thoroughly and was able to advise on all the technical and financial benefits of the Power Walls. He was very attentive to our concerns and questions, and was quick to respond on any new question that arose. Excellent, flawless service in every way!

Knowledgeable, professional, responsive and warm. Went above and beyond. Brandon was honest about what my house needed to install and was absolutely right. The whole team was excellent. Outstanding experience from start to finish. I was amazed at how smoothly and efficiently SUNFIRST operates. The paperwork and financing was a breeze, the installation happened in a blink of an eye, and Brandon’s guidance throughout was warm, personal and so helpful. I avoided doing this project for years because I was leery of getting a hard sell or shoddy work. Instead I got a great investment in my house and NO power bills! Wish I had found SUNFIRST years ago. I reached out to them to leave a review because I was so satisfied. Highly recommend!
