Solar Company in the Bay Area, California

We decided to research and gather 7 bids for our solar energy project. We decided on selecting Nabu Energy because they were a perfect balance of value and service. I appreciated Nabu’s no nonsense pricing. They were very upfront with their sales pitch. They didn’t try to upsell me on anything that I did not need. More importantly they did not short me by trying to push a lower quality product on me. I recommend Nabu Energy without hesitation or reservation.

My husband and I did a lot of research for a solar installation company. We wanted a local company who could offer quality products, good service, and a reasonable price. After comparing 6 quotes, we decided to go with Nabu because they offered the best value. We worked with Harsh, who was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. He was knowledgeable and friendly, even offering to visit our property when we expressed concern about the cramped space around the main electrical panel. He confirmed that his team could work with the space confines and also checked what kind of roof tiles we had (concrete). In terms of speed of installation, Nabu moved far more quickly than we anticipated! After we signed the contract on Jan 21st, our solar system was installed within 2 weeks (work happened between Feb 2nd-5th). City approval happened 1 week later (on Feb 12th), and PGE permission-to-operate came on Feb 22nd.

We were very pleased to see the solar system up and running so quickly. However, after 1.5 days of working well, the system suddenly stopped producing. I contacted Harsh and his team members and they responded right away. By the end of the day, they had figured out it was an inverter malfunction. They contacted the inverter manufacturer and arranged for a replacement to be shipped out. About a week later, after Nabu received the replacement inverter, they sent out a technician to do the repair and get our system up and running again. Our system has been functioning well ever since.

Overall, I am very glad we chose to go with Nabu Energy for our solar installation. In addition to the excellent value, they have proven to be responsive, communicative, and helpful.

My electric usage wasn’t huge, so going solar means ONLY if it makes sense in terms of ROI. For that reason, I was picky in terms of who I should go with for solar installation. I did get a LOT of quotes from various vendors. I did that for a couple of reasons 1) I didn’t know anything about solar, so I had to talk to people to understand the offering, and 2) I wasn’t convinced of the value they would provide.

I decided to give Nabu a chance, and Harsh did reach out to me very late in the night to work around my schedule. We had a healthy discussion, and Harsh patiently explained everything and gave me the options available. I was surprised and skeptical initially, as Nabu’s quote was cheaper by 2-3k than the most affordable quote I got elsewhere. On top of that, I would get the higher watt solaria panels compared to 330 W Panasonic. Newer panels?, cheaper quote?, responsive? Patient? Yes, to all the previous questions, I had no reason not to go with Nabu.

Installation was pretty fast, and the system was UP and running in no time. Followups after installation are an added advantage.

We ran into an issue during the installation process, and I didn’t even know that there was an issue, post-install inspection from their crew revealed some problems that they have fixed within a reasonable time.

I would definitely recommend going with Nabu!
