They are the best! I had a terrible predicament from a company that went out of business on me (curse you, Swift Solar), and they helped me finish getting everything squared away. Immense thanks to this company!!

Planet solar is the best. We worked with Bill he takes care of everything. The installation looks great. No problems at all fast and painless

Horrible experience! We have had nothing but problems and lies. Our system does not produce what we were promised and I can hardly get anyone to return my calls. Would NEVER recommend them. Still trying to figure out what to do with a $30,000 system that doesn't produce even half of what we need. What a waste of money! Next stop might be contacting the BBB. I am over calling them every week to see how they are going to make this right. 2.5 year nightmare.

Kudos to John Shepard for answering all my questions in clear, understandable language. Together we explored several options designed to meet not only my energy needs but my budget as well. If you are shopping for solar I highly recommend calling Planet Solar for information and a quote. Ask for John.

Great Company, they do what they say they will and do a great job. Answered all my questions and always available. Best pricing I found and the best product. If you are thinking about going solar, Planet Solar is the way to go!!

We recently did it....we got Solar!! We chose Planet Solar Inc. because the more we met with & talked with their team we felt assured they knew their business.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the work they did installing.
Thank You Planet Solar for a great experience!

We have been very happy with our solar system from Planet Solar,, have told our friends about the great service and price. Marilyn really listened, evaluated our need and led us to unstall an excellent ststem. Highly recommend Planet Solar!

Buying solar is daunting. I had the opportunity to work with Marilyn Seibert at Planet Solar and she took a process that was extremely complex and distilled it down to one to where, at the end, I felt comfortable and informed.
I highly recommend her if you are looking for solar. She will be sure to provide you with the best information to help you with your next install.
100% satisfied. -
We signed a contract with Planet Solar to install a system, and paid a $1000 deposit in April 2021. 4 months later, there is no design, no building permits and they said they are closing their central California location. Do not pay a deposit with Planet Solar; reputable installers do not request a deposit. CEO/Owner Dennis and Ben, each promised the moon, but delivers an empty glass...

After extensive research & sitting on the fence for years about solar, we finally decided on Planet Solar. The owners Marilyn & Ben Siebert were very easy to work with, answered sooo many questions, and gave us a better deal than their competitors. They also had no black marks on their company with the Better Business Bureau (unlike the other guys). We ended up with high-quality panels, that were professionally installed by their crew. One of the things that we greatly appreciate is that they took the extra effort to not run ugly conduit across our roof and up our walls, and painted the mounts to match our Spanish tile. We were in agreement that we should install the panels on a rack on the back of our house, for aesthetics, and also since we have quite a few palm trees in the front that shade the front of the house. Even though we have a south-facing home, you cannot see the 28 solar panels from the front of the house! They were able to secure low-cost financing for us, and, even before we get our Federal rebate, our payments are about what we were paying for our SCE Level Pay plan. Once we get our rebate next year at tax time, we will be able to re-amortize the loan, if we desire, and lower the payment. We only pay a $10 monthly fee to SCE to be on the grid. We may even end up with a rebate check from SCE after 1 year. We plan to accelerate payments to our solar loan to pay it off early & have free electricity!!! Installing solar ended up being a no-brainer!!!

With Pg and E going up year after year my husband and I had been considering solar for over 2 years. We had done several different consultations none of the companies could meet 100% of our production needs. After we meet with Ben the owner of Planet Solar we knew we had found the company we wanted to go with. The entire experience has been seamless from consultation to installation. We are now up and running and watching the savings happen.

I chose Planet Solar because of Ben Siebert, their lead salesperson. Ben responded timely to my questions, of which I had many, in a timely and patient manner. When I was ready, under no pressure from him, he came to my house, gave me a formal bid, and explained fully and clearly all the details that go with it like number and type of panels, panel location, construction costs, timing of construction etc. Ben was low pressure and left a trustworthy impression. I also went with Planet Solar because they offered a very good competitive price for the system I wanted to have installed. Also, Ben would interact with me in the manner I wished to communicate with him and that was via email. Another local company would not do this (Solar Negotiators) and as a result of this, and their insistence on not giving me a quote for what I believe was a superior solar panel, I stopped pursuing business with this solar company. Additionally my solar project required that I trim and/or remove several trees next to my house so that the solar system could work properly (i.e. not be hindered by shading). This was a big ordeal for me because my wife and I needed to come to agreement on which trees would remain and for those that remain how much trimming would be done. Ben was patient with me as I went through this decision making process, he found a very good and affordable tree trimmer, and my wife and I made the decision to move forward and get the solar system installed.
My solar system goal was to have 100% percent of my overall electrical energy provided by solar. This effectively meant that I wanted a zero true up annual electricity bill with my local energy provider. This past June (2020), I received the first annual electricity true-up bill and it was for $0 (actually got a small credit for a bit of excess energy production). Planet Solar did what they promised to do and as such I am extremely happy and pleased with their performance. And to top it off, given I live in an area where dust can settle on the solar panels, Ben also showed me how to clean my new solar panels and gave me the materials to do it! By the way, cleaning solar panels is really easy and can be done with a hose and a spraying attachment (i.e. Fuller Brush Window Cleaner).
Throughout the residential solar system purchase process I found Planet Solar, and all of its employees whether they be in administration, financing, billing, and/or construction, to be reliable, trustworthy, responsive, and a very friendly solar construction business that provides high quality affordable solar systems. I really enjoyed working with Planet Solar, am very pleased with their service and finalized product, and as such I highly recommend them. -
Prior to choosing Planet Solar, I received another bid for solar for my roof. That company bid $6,000 more than Planet Solar. When Marilyn came to my home to bid for Planet Solar, she put me totally at ease as she answered all my questions regarding solar systems and usage. When I agreed to have the units installed, she gave me a projected date of mid-june for completion of the project. To my surprise everything was done by May 2nd. Thanks to their speedy installation my units will be ready to go before all the hot months of Summer which will save me$$$$.

Best contractor experience ever. We had three other solar companies give us proposals, but it was obvious that Bill and Lani were by far the most knowledgeable solar people we met. In only two weeks and 3 days, our solar system was installed, turned on, and saving us money. Our first electric bill was only $17.42 in July (last year our July bill was over $400!). We told our neighbor about them, who went solar, and Bill came out personally and paid us cash for the referral - without asking! We totally recommend Planet Solar.
