  The process was extremely simple. Nick asked qualifying questions to help me create the right system size for my home. There was no pressure to move forward but the option we chose was a no brainer. We just got installed yesterday and the … More installation was quick and professional. The system looks AMAZING! I highly recommend Nick and Smart Energy Brokers if you're looking to go Solar. You will not be disappointed.

  Easy and painless experience.One local business tried to sell me a system with only 10 panels and Tomm informed me that it wouldn’t be enough. He was able to price the same exact system with 13 panels and was still cheaper than the competitions … More quote.I did my homework and got quotes from other solar businesses for 4.5kw systems and SEB still beat all the other prices.Financing was easy with a low interest rate. And installation was a breeze only taking 5 hours.I’ll be getting another house in the future and will be sure to go back to SEB again.

  I originally posted a 1 star review after receiving a proposal from this company. The owner called me the next day to why. (He obviously cares which is worth 5 starts in my mind.) The reason for my initial 1-star review is that I am … More a PG&E customer and PG&E's rate plans.If you are a PG&E customer this is something you should know before installing solar. PG&E has 14 different rate plans for solar customers. Unlike other power companies PG&E allows you sell your excess solar electricity to PG&E from anywhere between $0.14 and $0.55. Then when you need electricity you can buy it back. This means you can sell electricity to PG&E at $0.55 and buy it back for just $0.14 which leave you with a $0.41 credit to buy electricity from PG&E at another time. This also means I do not need as many solar panels saving me thousands of dollars. (The person I was working with at Smart Energy Brokers apparently din't understand this.)Now to make things more complicated for PG&E customers considering going solar is that PG&E dropping the amount they are paying for solar electricity from $0.55 to a flat $0.16 for the rate plan I am on at the end of this year. This means I would need to sell PG&E 3 times as much solar electricity for every 1 KWhr I use at night. With PG&E only playing $0.16 it looks like PG&E is making is so solar just isn't worth installing. (But this is for the rate plan I am currently on.)In talking to the owner I realized he was only aware of 2 of PG&E's 14 rate plans. I think they are a good company trying to do their best as PG&E tries to make this as difficult and confusing as possible for customers and solar companies. I like the idea of installing solar. But I think PG&E is doing their best to make it financially unfavorable for us. I'm going to wait and see what PG&E does next year before installing solar.
