Reviews of local pros in Clovis, California

I did a lot of research before getting solar and waited a long time. I talked to Ben and he was much more knowledgeable then the typical solar sales person. His solution was very detailed and he was able to answer directly any question that I had no matter how technical. I recently hit my first year end true up and I had a $35 dollar credit as I added a little more capacity for future electric car. His design was spot on. I have a contractors license and the technicians he sent out were very professional and I noticed they were trained very well for safety using ladders, tools etc.

a year ago we had Planet Solar install solar system on my house. I was so happy, I bragged to friends & family and even recommended Planet Solar to many people. Now I find out that the salesman for Planet Solar lied to my wife & I. I just received a bill from, PG&E for $1,400. This charge is called a NEM (net energy metering). I paid "cash" , $21,600, for my system, and I was never told that I would get a $1,400 bill at the end of the year. Now, I do not recommend this company to anyone, and I advise other potential customers not to trust them.

From the first contact through the design/quotation phase and the contract, installation and start up, Planet Solar exceeded my expectations. They helped with getting the approval from my HOA and did an excellent job making every aspect of the installation neat and clean. We had thought about adding solar for several years but never felt like the time was right. Going with Planet Solar was definitely the right choice. We are very happy with the results.

Beware! I had my solar system installed in 2007 and was assured that the panels had a 25 years warranty.
I called back a few months ago to get them checked out for efficiency.
The gentleman that came to inspect the panels said I had 6 panels that should be replaced.
I told him sure, replace them because I have a 25 year warranty.
I called back a few days later, since I had t heard from them. Once I spoke to the gentleman that inspected them, he told me “the panel company went out of business and we can’t honor the warranty!”
I told them that it’s unacceptable, because you guys should tell us this before you sell them to us.
The customer is mislead into thinking Planet Solar would honor the warranty no matter the panel company goes out of business or not!
This is a poor way to run a business. He said the “owner” would call back and it’s been over 2 weeks am he still hasn’t.
I guess he’s a hiding and hoping that solves the issue. If this is the case, that’s poor leadership skills on his behalf.
Do your customers a favor and train your staff to tell new customers that the 25 year warranty only applies if the solar panel company will still be in business. There is no integrity in this type of practice!
But I suggest new customers go to a DIFFERENT solar company/ installer.

We couldn’t be happier with our solar system. Marilyn Seibert is so knowledgeable and didn’t try to sell us something we didn’t need. Our options were clear and fully explained. The process was so simple. We didn’t have to do a thing! Everything was handled by Planet Solar. Their pricing was the best as well. Some of our friends paid double what we paid for the same service through different companies, some of which don’t even work. So thankful for Planet Solar and their high integrity! I highly recommend Planet Solar!

I called about 4 different company to give me a quote for my new solar system an d Planet Solar was the best price out of them all. Tim is the salesperson that came out to my house and gave me a quote. Tim is very professional, knowledgeable and his always there to answer all my questions. That is only the start of my experience with Planet Solar. The rest of the crew that came out to inspect my roof and install the system was very respectful and friendly. I’m very happy that I went with Planet Solar.

I waited a year after Planet Solar installed my solar system on my roof to write a review. I wanted to be sure what was promised and what was produced by my Solar Panels after 1 year (True Up) was accurate. I researched a handful of companies and decided to go with Planet solar after speaking with Marilyn and reviewing Plant Solar’s proposal. Planet Solar did a great job installing my solar system. There was no ugly exposed electrical conduit as Marilyn promised and the conduit that was exposed was installed neatly in my garage where I choose to place the inverter. Juan and Mike installed everything in a few and days and system passed inspection by the city no problem. I was given permission to operate from PG&E shortly after installation. I researched solar, knew what I wanted and what I needed to make solar work for me. I went a little larger on my solar system in anticipation of getting an electric vehicle. I was fortunate to get an EV a few months back and anticipate my next True Up to be close to $0. PG&E is changing their rate plans to be less advantages for solar customers, so you need to do your homework.

Let me start by saying I have no connection or allegiance to Planet Solar. (other than being a happy customer) They were the fourth of four proposals that we got and they were the cheapest of the four, even though they proposed an almost identical system and components as one of the other companies. Cost was the biggest factor in going with Planet Solar and we are extremely glad we did.

From our first meeting with Marilyn we just felt like we were in excellent hands, and dealing with someone we could trust, not your typical sales person just trying to close a deal, and it didn't end there. Everyone we dealt with from Jason who came out to do the pre installation inspection and the foreman Juan who was there on the day of the installation were very professional and courteous, exactly the kind of people you want working on your home!

I highly recommend getting a quote from Planet Solar if you are serious about getting solar! We are Happy we did!!!

Planet Solar was one of the best companies I have ever worked with. I looked around and asked around for a good solar company. Planet Solar was recommended to me by a friend and I made the call. Marilyn was my first point of contact and she solidified my decision to use Planet Solar. She was thorough and knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. I had done some initial system size estimates based on everything I knew. Once I spoke to Marilyn, she designed the correct size system and actual told me I didn't need as big of a system as I had estimated. Once we agreed on the details, a contract was drawn up and work began very quickly. They pulled all the necessary permits, ordered all of the supplies and kept me in the loop the entire time. Installation was quick and professionally done. They were able to go through the attic which minimizes the conduits on the outside of the house. The workers were all professional, polite and always cleaned up their mess. A few short weeks later, I was producing electricity. The only low I have about going solar, I wish I would have done it sooner.

Our experience with Planet Solar was amazing! Marilyn and all the staff were so courteous, clean and such a pleasure to work with. It was a quick and painless process. All of our questions were answered quickly and without hesitation. From start to finish only took a few weeks. We just received our first PG&E bill and were truly amazed. We referred a relative and received a nice cash gift from Planet Solar. We highly recommend Planet Solar to our friends and family.

My boyfriend and I purchased a house a few years ago, and the first month we moved in, the PGE was outrageously expensive. We went from $180–$200 PGE bills to $650, so we decided to look into getting solar panels.

We did a lot of research and had a few solar companies come and give us estimates. We had quite a few questions to ask, and Marilyn was the one who was so patient and answered all our questions, especially the financial ones. In the end, Planet Solar had the best offer with warranty and pricing, on top of the knowledge Marilyn shared with us too.

So we decided to go with Planet Solar. Marilyn suggested we have 25 solar panels, but we asked for 3 more panels just in case because we heard a lot of horrifying "True-up" stories. Signing the paperwork to complete the entire process was easy and smooth. It took about a month and a half, I believe. We had some hiccups with the county of Fresno regarding the house (not ours or Planet Solar's fault), but everything was solved after a week or so. We had to wait for a few days for PGE to do the inspection and turn on the line too.

The actual installation only took 2 days, and we really like the fact that on the roof, there are no wires exposed, they did such clean work. Once the panels were up and running, she even called me to check if everything was going okay. Since we had the solar panels, I haven’t had any "True-up" bills, only credit from PGE. I will use Planet Solar again if I need to add more panels. Their customer service is exceptional, and I would recommend them to everyone who is interested in getting solar panels.

I am business professional giving an excellent review for Planet Solar as they definitely earned my business! I had planned on going with another Solar company that was successful in our area. However, what changed my mind was that I was treated with respect and patience. One of the owners took special attention laying out all my options and explaining them in detail. From there I could make an educated decision choosing between buying or leasing, and design layout. These people did the homework for me and then I chose what I thought was best for me! There was no high pressure involved.
Their service was impeccable, their servicemen were clean and professional. I even got my panels on my house in a faster time frame than the other company had estimated for me! I would definitely recommend Planet Solar to anyone or any business. It is hard to find hardworking honest people to do business with. You will definitely find that with Planet Solar!

I have to say that I couldn't be happier with the service and professionalism. Tim got us set up with the perfect system. Even when PG&E threw a couple obstacles our way, we navigated through them and the job was finished in a timely manner. Everyone that came out was friendly and more than happy to explain things. (I'm nosey and ask a lot of questions!) The installation is super clean. You don't see anything but the panels on the roof. No conduit or other unsightly things that I have seen on other roofs. I compared my system output with a friend who went with Solar Negotiators. Let's just say I am so happy with my decision to go with Planet Solar, and leave it at that. If you are on the fence with solar, hurry before PG&E and California get NEM 3.0 approved. If you aren't familiar with the new law, Planet Solar will be happy to explain.

First, the staff is extremely nice.
I really wanted to love this nursery because of their staff and convenient location, but, the plant I buy from this nursery don't seem to last. I have even purchased ones that were recommended and they don't make it. I'm not an expert, but I do garden and have alot of indoor and outdoor plants. The first few plants I purchased from them almost a year ago I thought may have died because I did something wrong. I purchased 18 plants last time I visited. About a month later 4 are doing well, 3 are trying to hold on, and the rest are dead. All were in containers and I used soil I purchased from the this nursery. I prefer to purchase plants from nurses because they often do better, but not these. That's over $100 down the drain.

Great place! By far the nicest nursery I've been to throughout California. I stopped to get my mom a crepe myrtle tree and ended up getting 2 because they were so beautiful and healthy I couldn't just get one! All the plants are healthy and well kept! The staff are amazingly helpful if you have any questions, i definitely reccomend stopping here, I know I'll be back for sure!🌾🌿🌹🌻

I have come to this nursery a few times and I want to love it but the owner and employees are not friendly at all. No one greets you and no one asks if you need help. When you go up to the register there is no customer service and the nonverbal cues are condescending. I’ve recently fallen in love with caring for plants and you’d think the owner of a plant shop would make some effort of connection with his customers who share the same passion. I don’t like to write bad reviews but customer service is a big part of owning a business and I only hope this offers a learning experience.

I recently discovered this place and their amazing house plant selection! Great looking, healthy plants and all the staff I've spoken to there was very friendly and helpful. The owner sounds like he tries very hard to please his plant loving clientele, by going out of his way to seek rare varieties and bring them to us! I will definitely continue to shop here for all of my plants!

I have spent a lot of time (and money) at many of the nurseries in Central CA.

This nursery has, by far, the best staff I have ever encountered. They are very smart, and many have their own specializations for different types of plants. They are very nice and seem to enjoy working there. I like that I hear them debating politics, philosophy and sociology with each other while they are working. And there is one worker that makes the whole experience better by his infectious laugh that reverberates throughout the whole grounds. I already have a great job and don't need the money but when I retire I want to go work there. It just seems like a great place to be.

I have bought thousands of dollars of plants there over the last few years. The real deal is the annual sale. But I also buy throughout the year, because prices are fair. The prices are not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive, and they are usually a large size for the price, so I feel like I'm getting a good value.

Aside from a few disounted / distressed plants that I didn't do enough to save, I've never had a plant die on me. I have gotten smarter, so now I only buy drought tolerant plants in good shape, and that helps a lot.

Their selection is excellent. They have a nice selection of bushes and trees that will work in this climate. They have a cactus section that beats every other nursery in the area.

I am glad to have Evergreen Garden Center in our community. Thank you.

Very helpful staff! And...very knowledgeable. Prices good for the quality. And a wonderful assortment of plants to choose from.

Every time I’ve been at this nursery, I have always noticed how every employee is acknowledging all customers, super friendly, always asking if we need help with a smile, I always feel welcomed here! All my plants purchased here are all doing great and healthy! No complaints here! This is My favorite nursery!!! ❤️

I love this nursery! The people who work here are so helpful and they have a really nice display and selection of all sorts of plants. They also have great items for gifts. today I was shopping for a shade plant for my front porch and I was nicely helped by one of the knowledgeable employees.
