Solar Energy System reviews in Escondido, California

Randy was very thorough. He had answers to all the questions and made the switch to solar a breeze!!

The best solar company to work with.good price,honest rep,smooth work,very happy to do business with them

Tier Drop came to our teacue when out solar went down. Andrew found the problem and fixed it at a very teasonable price. Thank you!

Great work by the team here from quote to processing paperwork and install. High quality equipment is installed, professional work, and everyone was friendly throughout. Install and inspection was less than a week. Thanks for great experience!

Excellent company. Cares about the customer, tailors installation to needs, does not try to upsell to more than customer needs. Design makes install blend into roof and not be a cookie cutter eyesore. All employees are true professionals and take pride in delivering a quality product. Highly recommended

Great people to deal with, Very profesional and very knowledgable about their job. My solar panels have not had any problems generating extreme power levels and continue to do a great job. I am a very satisfied customer. Tier Drop solar are the best I have ever seen in the business.

Tier Drop Solar installed solar at our house a year ago. We just received our true up bill from SDG&E. Our bill for the year was $15. We were so excited it was still so low because we have all been working and going to school from home since COVID started in March. The AC has been running more than we thought because we are all home. Not to mention the pool pump runs all day as well. We just wanted to let you know that your calculations on how many panels we would need was perfect. You were the only company (out of three others) that actually got on the roof to see where the panels would go. We really appreciate all the time and effort you and your company put into making solar beneficial for us.

Randy was great. Very knowledgeable, and was able to give us a better system for slightly less than the major solar companies quoted us. The installation was quick and easy, and everything has been working flawlessly since. Highly recommend these guys.

I had 8 panels installed 3 years ago and another 7 in April. Pricing was the same as some of the larger companies out there and I had an overall great experience with Randy and his team, which is why I hired them again for the 2nd installation. Their electrician even removed an old dish antenna while on the roof.

I highly recommend Tier Drop Solar. After dealing with several other companies and having negative experiences, I am so glad we finally found Tier Drop Solar. Randy cares a great deal about his customers in a way that is hard to find these days. He is honest, reliable, communicative, reasonably priced, and does exceptional work. He makes sure the quality of his work and the service he provides is top of the line. Randy went out of his way to provide exceptional service and displayed a commitment to getting our system working great so that we are receiving maximum benefit all at a reasonable price. What struck me about Randy was that he has a genuine interest in meeting the needs of his customers and ensuring his work is of the highest quality. He is focused on building trust and displays the utmost integrity. Before meeting Randy, I was skeptical about the solar industry having dealt with some other companies in the past who were only interested in making a dollar. Randy is committed to customer satisfaction on every level with his experience and knowledge about solar. He helpfully answered all my questions and runs his company with integrity, honesty, and superior expertise. My system is now running great thanks to Randy! If you are thinking about getting solar or have issues with your existing system, I encourage you to reach out to Randy at Tier Drop Solar. You will not be disappointed. My only regret is not finding Tier Drop sooner!

Randy, Andrew, and Veronica are true professionals who excel in their craft and customer service. Before choosing a solar installer, I had a lot of questions. I wanted to ensure that the installation, equipment quality, and customer service, including post-installation, would be of high quality. I can sincerely share that the communication regarding my project and next steps, the installation on my roof, and post-installation support have exceeded my expectations. At the end of the installation, Randy and I went on my roof so I could view the solar panels. The solar installation and cabling were clean and complimented the natural lines of my roof. It has been a rare and genuine pleasure to have Tier Drop Solar install solar at my residence, and I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to install solar on their residence or business.

Working with Solhome has been a complete joy. Their professionalism and quick turn around really helped in getting solar for our home. My family has been debating installing solar for years, but never went forward due to the overwhelming amount of information and not knowing the best vendor to use. Solhome walked through this process patiently and Harold our hands along the way feeling confident this was a sound financial decision. We’ve gotten to know the owner Dave, project manager Troy and Reuben site supervisor very well and happy we went with this vendor. Their crew Kevin, Ryan and Abraham were terrific , professional and courteous . We are happy to be part of the Solhome family now:)

Dave and team were the best!! They we professional, detailed and honest. Pricing was great and they have been a stand up business to work with. I have now used them multiple times and would use them again and again. We have been through a lot of home construction teams and Dave's is the best!!
Shawn was also awesome and I swear my kids were ready to have them all move in! We had them build a customer pantry, move our furnace into the attic, add an AC, do solar, roofing... The list goes on and on!

Thank you guys! I give my recommendation of you all to everyone!

Simply amazing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dave and his team have done many projects with me over the years. In fact I was one of his first customers almost 10 years ago. We Build San Diego is extremely reliable, amazing with customer service, and affordably priced. The most recent project we did was a large scale solar installation. I could not be happier! I highly recommend them for any home-improvement need! Five stars! 🤙

Dave and his company were highly recommended to us by a friend. After having a fair bit of work done, I, too, am impressed by Dave and his employees at SolHome and would highly recommend them with zero reservations (and have already). Troy was our project manager for a heat pump HVAC system, solar, and battery install. He did a great job.

HVAC
We went with a heat pump with attic-mounted air handler and external condenser. The HVAC guys (Tim and Greg) knocked it all out in a (long) day! They built a platform for the air handler in the attic, ran the circuits for the heat pump and air handler, cut in 8 vents and ran all the ductwork, installed all the critical sensors (leak detectors, etc), installed a new thermostat. Everything was done in the time they initially estimated. We also had them remove the old non-functional gravity furnace. They did an outstanding job. They also explained the system and answered all my questions. They cleaned up after everything they did. There wasn't any dust from drywall they cut, and they removed all the packaging, trash, and the old furnace when they left.

Solar
We went with an 8kW array with Enphase microinverters feeding an Enphase System Controller and Enphase IQ batteries. Ryan and his crew (Ivan, Antonio, and Cody) arrived on time and installed the entire array and had it wired in a single day. The installation looks neat and well done. I think they did a great job.

Battery and System Controller
It was important to me to have a system that could produce power from solar in the event of a sustained outage. In the Enphase offering, that means a smart controller and batteries. Because of limits in the existing service panel, there was a fair bit of rewiring along with the new install. Reuben and Eugene were the electricians that pulled all that together. They installed a backup loads panel, batteries, system controller, bypass switch, all the Enphase sensors, an additional third-party per-circuit electrical usage monitor, plus an additional circuit to the garage. Reuban went beyond expectations. He stayed several hours late to ensure we'd have backup power available before the hurricane arrived. He also came on his day off to sort out some other problems with the system. I am extremely impressed. He also took the time to answer my many question about the system and it's operation.

When things don't go as planned
One of the things that impressed me about SolHome is how they took care of a mistake. During our solar install, there was a hole drilled that didn't have a bolt in it. During the hurricane it manifested as a leak that resulted in some pooling water that dripped out of the ceiling. I contact Troy. He had a roofer (Jesus) down there the following morning. The issue was fixed immediately. Troy and Dave called me to discuss the issue while Jesus was fixing the roof. They had already worked out a process change to help ensure that error didn't happen again. They sent drywall guys to remove the damaged drywall and insulation the same day. We waited for a couple days with a hole in the ceiling to ensure things dried out before patching. The drywaller returned, replaced the insulation, repaired the drywall, and taped. A day later, they came back to complete contouring and texture to make it look like part of the ceiling. When that was dry, the painter came and painted. The result looks better than what they removed (previous owner had a bad drywall patch from moving a light fixture). I was impressed with how proactive Troy and Dave were in getting this issue taken care of.

I am extremely pleased with SolHome's quality, service, and communication. Everybody showed up on time, when they indicated they were going to be there. They stayed on schedule. All the workers were polite, courteous, and professional. They did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves, and covering things with plastic or drop cloths as necessary. Updates on work were performed on the day the work was done. Billing was timely and reflected work performed.

If you're looking for a company that will take care of your home as if it is their own home, We Build San Diego is the company to choose for your home renovation/improvement projects.

The entire team is made up of hand-picked professionals who excel in their trades. Dave and Troy run their business with integrity and honesty, and their communication is above and beyond. They are knowledgable and willing to try new projects, and when something does not go to plan (as is always the case with any home project), they are adaptable, quick to adjust and troubleshoot. We have worked with multiple contractors over the years, and We Build San Diego is by far the best we have ever worked with.

We can't wait to come up with future projects so that we can get We Build San Diego back in our home as we continue to make our home into a home that reflects who we are. Thank you We Build San Diego for being a part of that for us!

Reading through other postings and must say I echo every positive comment. When we first sat down with Dave, everything was so perfect, I hesitated, thinking, "this guy can't be real." Well, happy to report he is, as is Troy, and every other professional on their highly skilled and creative team. Remodeling our bathroom / shower was something needed, but also dreaded. We made some significant changes, but they were able to blend old with new which left us with a beautiful and cohesive look while staying within our budget. We are so pleased with the beautiful, functional outcome, but just as important to us, we were pleased with the whole process. From the very beginning, Dave truly listened to what we wanted and he communicated honestly and openly about what was realistic, what was not, and what his professional recommendations were. Throughout the entire process, the team communicated with one another and with us. They kept a tight and disciplined schedule and at the end of every day, the only evidence that people had been in and out of the house was the progress made on the project. We work outside of the home and were completely comfortable having the crew come and go. Even with COVID, they stayed on-schedule and within budget. We are truly grateful. We appreciate the whole team and highly recommend them, and will use them again, without hesitation, for any and all future projects.

SolHome replaced my roof and installed my Solar several months ago. Today they came out and installed a Level two EV Charger for our Hybrid SUV. Troy was nothing but professional and after we figured out where we wanted it Ruben was here two days later and had it installed within 3-4 hours. If anyone would like to ask me about my experience with SolHome and Troy feel free to contact me. Keith Bosch

We hired Dave and the team at We Build San Diego to install a new solar system at our home, including Enphase batteries and an off grid switch. From our first meeting, Dave was extremely informative about the process, sizing our system, and designing our installation. We had so many choices to make, and Dave helped us navigate the math of electricity and translate that into the actual benefits and requirements of running our house now and into the planned future. While the City of San Diego is particularly slow with permits, once we were approved, we had a talented crew arrive to install the system. Our installers were quality focused, respectful, and great communicators. In addition, We Build's platform for communication, photos, and finance makes things extremely easy to track. The installation worked perfectly from the moment we threw the switches into test mode, and we were up and running with both SDGE and City permission to operate in just a few days. The team at We Build San Diego stand behind their work and are extremely responsive and patient. We highly recommend them and look forward to hiring them for future work.

SolHome has been wonderful to work with. They showed up when they said they would. All of their employees have been friendly and knowledgeable and our new solar system works exactly as they said it would.

I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I cannot give enough praise and say how amazing the “We build San Diego” team is. Dave and his crew built our dream home in Escondido and out of all of the contractors we researched, “We build San Diego” was the only company that thoroughly went over their bid with me line item by line item explaining every detail. Their follow up was superb and they would keep in touch with me constantly throughout the entire process. During construction, Dave would always keep me notified of all updates and the work and quality was nothing short of amazing. As someone who used to work as a foreman in construction myself, I can attest to the quality of their craftsmanship. I re-hired “We build San Diego” for my 5 car garage and even the beginning architecture plans are already amazing. Five stars to “We Build San Diego” and if we could, we’d give them ten. If you are in search of a contractor to build your San Diego home, look no further. Dave is your guy!
