Comment: We are currently in the middle of the installation process for solar panels, a Tesla Powerwall, and a heat pump.We chose Semper since they do everything in house and they were price competitive. No need to have several vendors in the house!From the start, our salesman, Mark Ivory, was very responsive and answered all my questions.Our HVAC install team was very professional and was able to work around my crazy schedule.We are looking forward to getting the solar installed and complete!

Comment: Our home now has solar thanks to Semper Solaris.My mom had solar put on by Semper a little while back and it had been recommended by a friend who used them as well. Paul Rampoldi was her go to for everything. We met Paul about 1 year prior but were not ready to make the purchase. When we were finally able to get the process started the April 2023 change in NEM was only weeks to days away. We called Semper and asked specifically for Paul to be the person we would work with. He was super helpful in explaining what we would need for our home based on what we currently use and then we added a few more panels just to be safe (in case we even decide it time to add a Tesla or just have an increase in usage).We began at the end of March and had the paperwork signed and ready to go. We beat the NEM change...barely made it. The process of install took a but longer than we had hoped as we were thinking about 4-5 months based on the time quote, but this was in part due to the mad rush for Solar in March/April, and the fact that we had to upgrade our panel, which required approval from SDG&E, who took a while. Once SDG&E actually approved, the rest of the process, was completed in 3-4 weeks. This includes panel install, connect and touch ups during the span of 3 days 1 week, panels installed the following week, and SDG&E final inspection of solar/electrical equipment. This was all completed 10/4. We just recieved our 1st SDG&E bill yesterday. We were not expecting any changes until next month, but our bill already came down from almost $400, to $101 (with only a few day on the house). Looks good for next month and cant wait until it pays itself off years from now.Thanks Semper & Paul...and of course mom form helping is to get the ball rolling 😉.

Comment: Very impressed with Semper Solaris. Right from the beginning, our sales rep Rhami made a professional and informative house call. We were notified in advance of every step and an estimated timeline. All steps were completed ahead of schedule. The installers were efficient and kept our property neat and clean. The electrician Tommy was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. We are up and running in about a months time from the start. Definitely reccomending Semper Solaris to anyone who wants quality, value, professional, responsive service and panels.

Comment: Thank you Phil Valverde for being patient and friendly and good-spirited throughout this whole journey. The entire process took a while, primarily because of us going back and forth with different solar companies, and multiple offers, but in the end, we are very happy with our choice of Semper Solaris. The Semper Solaris team did a good and neat job of installation and we are looking forward to our clean air future. 😊

Comment: Semper Solaris offered their excellent work at competitive prices - and did an great job on installing our new solar system, including new solar panels and 2 Tesla Wall batteries. Tanya was our first and then consistent contact from Semper Solaris and she was a wonder throughout the process. Tanyas expertise and Customer Service is #1! She initially provided an extensive briefing for the proposed system; what we could expect; the costs, financing options and rebates, and the installation schedule. Whenever we had additional questions, she was quickly available and had clear informative answers. The few minor hiccups in the process were also resolved quickly by Tanya, helping the build and inspections move forward smoothly. Overall, we would highly recommend Semper Solaris as an excellent company that provides thorough quality work and is responsive to their customers. Weve referred at least two other satisfied customers...so far!

Comment: I’ve had a wonderful experience working with Char at Semper Solaris. She’s been responsive to all my inquiries, flexible with her availability, educative about the products and service available by Semper Solaris and installations procedures and options. It’s been a great pleasure working with Semper Solaris for my solar panel install. Definitely recommend Semper Solaris for solar panel electricity needs. In addition, Semper Solaris also employs fellow services members who have defended our liberty, welfare, and our nation’s freedom loving way of life. Thank you Semper Solaris for your service.

Comment: Excellent service from their sales rep (Char Toledo) that started and kept the overall experience very good. The installers for both our electrical panel upgrade and solar panels were excellent as well. The only area that could improve is project management due to a lack of timely project status.

Comment: Sales person Char Toledo was on time for the solar sales consult, got back to me immediately on any text messages I sent her, and explained the process so that both my wife and I understood what was going to happen. I had many questions from reading the brochure detailing all the questions you should be asking. Char answered them all, and sent information I asked for in a very timely manner. Semper met, and beat, the timeline that was proposed. Great to work with!!

Comment: I had a great experience with Genevieve and the entire Semper team. Genevieve’s approach to the process is to educate you, not sell you. The install was quick and looks great. Finally the entire process was weeks long not months. I have a friend who got solar before me and his is still not up and running. I’ve been running for 2 months now.

Comment: We’ve had our solar installed for over a year now and our true-up bill was only $200. That’s a major difference from the $3000 a year we were spending. Genevieve was referred to me from my best friend who did their solar system. Since we’ve had ours installed we have referred our neighbors and a co-worker who she has helped. We love that our panels are American made and that we can see each one on the app to make sure nothing is wrong with them. Thank you Semper for a great job and saving us from SDGE!

Comment: Semper installed my solar system, which included the panels and a new, upgraded power panel. I also used them to re-roof under the solar panels, as this was necessary because of the age and condition of my roof.They were less expensive than the other bid I obtained, and were recommended by a neighbor. They used good quality panels and inverters. Char, my sales representative, was friendly, knowledgeable and super responsive even though I bothered her all the time with questions.The roofer Semper sub-contracted with also did an excellent job and was very professional.My only complaint is I was disappointed with the amount of time it took from the date the contract was signed to the completion date. This delay was apparently the result of a multi-month lag time to get the power panel upgrade approved by SDG&E. Once I started calling SDG&E this issue was resolved in two weeks. Im not sure if this delay could have been resolved earlier if Semper had been more proactive in communicating with SDG&E. This is the only reason I did not give them 5 stars.All in all, Semper is a great choice and I recommend them for your solar panel system!

Comment: We chose Semper Solaris when we originally installed solar 9 years ago and again for a system expansion that was just completed. Char Toledo was terrific from the the time we originally expressed interest, to getting the contract signed, and then following up throughout the whole process to make sure things were on track and that we were happy. Very satisfied with the end result. Thank you Semper, and Char, for your personal involvement and care!

Comment: I used Semper Solaris last year for my solar install. Char Toledo was my rep and she was professional, responsive, and communicated every step of the way. The only issue I had was the delay caused by the city inspection. The final panel layout did not match the plans and this was not verified by the inspection team prior to the city inspection. As a result, the final stages of my project were delayed about four months.

Comment: My Mom was looking into Solar. I wanted to be there and Semper Solaris scheduled appointment around me. Our Salesman Michael Barber showed up on time. He was polite and really friendly, but most of them are. Once we sat down I was waiting for the normal techniques. But Michael was different, he was talking with us. He was genuinely curious on our needs. My mom and I learned alot about solar and all the different parts to it. He definitely won us over with his respectful nature. I was very relieved and like my mom glad we signed up. I would recommend calling Semper Solaris to anyone, especially Michael. The whole process was great and the set amount my mom is paying is great. I am glad she can now use her heat and Ac without worrying about the cost. Thanks Semper Solaris.

Comment: Char Toledo at Semper Solaris was great! She was informative, professional, and most of all patient with ALL my questions. Going solar was a big deal for me. I have have two electric vehicles and two electric bikes. Char explained the pros and cons of what I was getting into. I initially wanted two Tesla batteries and 40 solar panels, but she worked out all the numbers so it made sense with my goals. I ended up with the perfect set up with 1 Tesla battery and 24 solar panels situated in certain parts of my roof. I had no idea how important the angles and positioning of the panels played in maximizing the output. I was also picky on how the panels looked on my roof as well. I am extremely happy with the final result and the output almost exactly matches my family’s daily needs. Char saved me money by just listening, providing strategic input and not overselling me. I added a couple pics for reference.

Comment: David K did a great job in getting my solar panels up and running in 3 months. All of the crews are freiendly, knowledgeable and act professionally. David is the last person I called as I was in the process making decision on the other solar vendors I have reviewed. He came to my house with a one day notice without appointment (late evening) and stayed late in giving a detailed presentation of my solar project. BTW, All of the crews are freiendly, knowledgeable and act professionally.David is also very responsive in replying to texts. Overall I am happy with Davids assistance in the solar project from the beginning to the end. Definitely an asset to Semper Solaris.

Char Toledo was our contact throughout the process and she was incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive anytime we had questions. All the installers/service technicians were knowledgeable and friendly, too. I have since recommended Char and Semper Solaris to many of our friends and family.

Comment: I am so happy we went with Semper Solaris for our solar install! We live in the Julian area which sometimes limits our options for contractors, and we were thrilled to have had them take on our project in the backcountry. I think the real reasons we are so happy with our service can be contributed to the crew who did the actual install (so wonderful and professional!) and our service rep Chase. Chase made it feel like he, my husband, and I were all an equal team sorting out all the fine details that made our big job (35 panels) come to fruition. Seriously cant thank that guy enough!!

Comment: We previously tried to work with 2 other solar and roofing companies that came knocking on our door to replace our roof and install 10 panels for us. Unfortunately, they both tried the ol’ bait n switch scheme to mark up the price on their initial quote, essentially breaking their own contract. Rather than waste time in court (and shotty workmanship to make up for the profit they’d lose), we cut ties and decided to give Semper Solaris a try. They sent out Char Toledo to meet with us and were so happy they did. She carefully listened to our needs and coordinated everything from start to finish. When we came across questions, Char immediately answered them or got on the phone with PMs or other members of her team to ensure we were taken care of! Additionally, our project was completed just in time before the epic rainfall we saw this past wet season in San Diego (2023) — and we’re happy to report their quality work passed with flying colors, as there were no leaks at all from the storms and our panels are producing energy flawlessly. We are so happy and grateful to have chosen to go with Semper on this project. Thank you to an amazing team and company to work with! Also a very special THANK YOU to Char for taking care of us through it all!!

Comment: The team at Semper (Mark Ivory is my rep) installed new roofs, solar + battery, HVAC, and upgraded my electrical panels on my home in Julian. They all did a great job. It was a long project but it all got done and they have the best warranty Ive seen from any contractor. They are reliable even all the way in Julian and I will continue to refer them to anyone in San Diego County.

Comment: We interviewed several solar companies and decided to go with Semper Solaris and we’re very please we did.The main deciding factor for us to go with them was because of Char Toledo. Although Semper Solaris didn’t have the lowest bid, we decided to go with them because we trusted Char and we knew we’re in great hands with her. She went above and beyond to get us through the process from start to finish. She’s always available and make time when we have questions and prompt with her responses. We appreciate her time in checking in throughout the process even after the project has been completed. Char is amazing and we’re so thankful to have Char help us throughout the processEverything went smoothly from start to finish, the teams were great and professional. We signed the the contract at the peak of when everyone was trying to get solar in time before the new rates go into effect. We were concerned we weren’t going to meet the deadline. We’re pleasantly surprised, the project was completed sooner than anticipated with weeks to spare before the deadline. We highly recommend Char Toledo from Semper Solaris.

Comment: Semper Solaris installed solar on our house in Spring Valley. Char Toledo was professional during the entire process from the estimate to job completion. The County of San Diego can be difficult during the installation process but Char made us aware of the status of our project and we were turned on prior to the projected date. We would recommend Semper Solaris to anyone who wants a professional experience.

Comment: I had a solar panel installation done by Semper Solaris and I couldnt be happier with the result, and I have Char Toledo to thank for that. The entire process was not seamless from start to finish. There were hiccups, but she worked through each and every one, always in a cheerful and efficient manner. Char was always available to answer any questions I had and made sure that everything was taken care of in a timely manner. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the installation. Her professionalism and attention to detail were truly exemplary. The installation crew was similarly professional and efficient. The zipped in and back out in just a day and a half, start to finish. I recommended Char and Semper to several neighbors in my brand-new condominium community and now I refer to us sometimes as a Semper Solaris Community due to the number of units here sporting Sempers high quality Enphase inverters and panels. I would highly recommend Char and Semper Solaris to anyone looking for a solar panel installation.

Comment: My solar system was installed last April and has been running flawlessly since that time. David Kaul of Semper Solaris was my first contact from Semper Solaris and was able to provide me a thorough explanation of the entire process for having solar installed. He answered all my immediate questions and was available during the project to provide guidance and feedback on subsequent inquiries.So this review is definitely a long time coming but I wanted to get several months of service in the books before providing feedback. And the recent CPUC approved changes to solar installations in 2023 not only reminded me of this but now has me reviewing my system to make sure it meets my current and future needs. Ill definitely be in contact with Semper Solaris again!

Comment: When searching for solar/roofing companies, we were very fortunate to have Mark Ivory as our consultant! His power point presentation was very professional, extremely thorough by covering most of our questions before we had to ask, walked us through what to expect from beginning to end including finance options. We were sold, but wanted to get 2 more bids from other companies just to compare the market.We interviewed 2 other big name competitors and their presentations were short, spoke to quickly and fumbled through paperwork showing us what they had to offer, vague in answers to our questions - awful! Plus they were more expensive. Needless to say we chose Semper Solaris.Mark and the Semper Solaris team kept in touch with us with status updates throughout the whole process, VERY happy we went them and pleased with the beautiful work everybody did!Thank you!!!!

Comment: I did extensive research regarding rooftop solar companies and had more than ten sales representatives visit my house to make solar presentations to my wife and I.Mark Ivory, Senior Rep for Semper Solaris was head and shoulders above all the rest! Mark and his entire company were so professional and helpful.I even referred a family member to Mark and my family member is getting his rooftop solar installed by Semper Solaris and he and his wife were extremely impressed with Mark and Semper Solaris. I highly recommend Mark Ivory and Semper Solaris for your rooftop solar needs.Sincerely,Robert & Barbara Hutchins

Comment: Mark Ivory was extremely knowledgeable and professional explaining, in understandable terms, the pros and cons of a battery back up for my existing solar panel system. I was very impressed with Mark and would recommend him to anyone exploring solar and/or battery back up.

Comment: Trent Barden!!! That’s the only person you need to ask for here at Semper Solaris!!! I need my roof replaced asap. I called Trent Barden and he took care of the rest! I was communicating with three other popular roofing companies besides Trent. Trent is so much more superior to the others! He is a true professional. Very easy to talk to and explain your situation. He comes up with several solutions for you to choose from. He works quickly. He is friendly. You can tell that he really wants to see you get what you want. Save your self some time and frustration …. Choose Semper Solaris and Just ask for Trent Barden!!! By the way…he worked out the superior deal for me! The others cannot compete with Trent!

Comment: Armando champagne was a great help throughout the process. He gave me a great deal for two Tesla batteries. And mark ivory was great on helping me after the fact they were installed. He took the time to come to my house and make sure my app was running correctly as well as the batteries themselves. Both were of great help! Ty to both and Ty to Tesla batteries.

Comment: We had sat down with several Solar installers/sales people and I must say, our experience with Semper Solaris was on a different level. David Kaul (cant recommend him enough), was honest, straight forward with facts and figures, and gave accurate estimates for the total cost AND the timeline. He took our EV purchase and mileage into account as well as projected AC usage in the future. There was never any sales pressure like we experienced with the other companies including some door to door folks. I think what my wife and I enjoyed the most was the constant updates and communication from Semper. We were never left out of the loop, and the company finished way ahead of the standard timeline. Once the permits were approved, which happened way faster than we thought, Semper called me and said they have a crew ready for the next day. They came and fully stalled in 5hrs with the system up and running and connected, as well as inspection passed within 24hrs. This is NOT the experience we heard from other friends and family who used other companies. Do yourself a favor and go with Semper Solaris. Absolutely no headache or worries.

Comment: This is my second time working with Semper Solaris. With Mark Ivorys help he convinced me, and my husband, that this company is the best one to work with for our solar panels. We have been very happy with them. We realized we needed to make some changes with where our AC controller should be and update it to a Google Nest. Mark helped us with this as well! Also, the man who came to set it up did a wonderful job and was very friendly. He was helpful in showing me how to use the new controller and how to set it up on my phone with the Google Nest app. I am grateful for Mark Ivory hooking us up, the man who set it up (which I am sad I didnt get his name), and with Semper Solaris!

Comment: When I made the switch to Solar, I went with Semper Solaris. It was well worth the investment. Then I found out that they sell HVAC units. I was in need of a new one because it was time, or so I thought. Since Mark Ivory was the one who sold me my solar panels, I decided to reach out to him once again. He took a look at my HVAC unit and assessed that I did not need a new one. Instead, he suggested that I relocate my thermostat. So I did just that and went with an upgrade to Google nest. Had I been hell bent on buying a new HVAC unit, I have no doubt that Mark would have cheerfully and hilariously made it happen. Additionally, because he has previously earned my trust, he could have told me that I needed a new HVAC unit when I didn’t need one and I would have taken him at his word. As it is, he gave me the scoop in layman’s terms and I was able to not waste thousands of dollars on something that only required a simple solution. I will eventually be needing a new HVAC unit, just not in the next few years. You can be sure when the time comes, I will be making the purchase from Semper Solaris. As of this review, Semper Solaris has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Comment: This is my second time using Semper Solaris for my home improvement. I first used them for installing my solar panels. My current project is replacing my HVAC system. I received quotes from multiple companies. Semper Solaris beat their prices by about $3,000. The rate for financing beat all the other companies by a LONG shot. I worked with Mark Ivory on both projects. Mark was very professional & patient. Whenever i had a concern or a question, Mark was ALWAYS available. If I called or texted, he would get back to with an answer within a reasonable timeframe.Thank you Mark for your professionalism and patience!

Comment: I am writing this review to thank Semper Solaris on the high level of professionalism, knowledge, and caring we were shown by representative Mark Ivory. We were exploring options to install solar and were hesitant about what we were hearing. Mark was patient and informative and obviously knows his industry inside and out. He answered all of our concerns, and best of all he did not try to push us into making a quick decision. Thank you Mark and thank you Semper Solaris.

They were so good I asked if there’s anything else they can help with and learned they can help with HVAC as well. I plan on reaching back out to Daniel and Danny again for their service as it was exceptional and perfect. Thank you both very much it was a pleasure meeting you.

Comment: Solar Solaris and Min Lee came highly recommended from a friend and they lived up to their recommendation. From the time that we initially called to inquire about solar to the moment we flipped the on switch, our experience was smooth and stress free. Min Lee was instrumental in this process as he was super informative, friendly and always available to answer our questions. The installation crew was very friendly, informative and professional with the installation of the system. We highly recommend Solar Solaris and Min Lee for your solar needs.

Comment: Semper Solaris has been fantastic to work with. I just moved in to a new home with a very long driveway therefore requiring trenching for my project. Mike Berg was so incredible to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of my many questions and concerns. The trenching crew was amazing. Trenching is a messy part of the process and the crew were so polite, respectful, clean and quiet that I even bought them lunch. Semper provided great communication regarding the status of my project and Mike Berg was always available to answer any and all of my questions. I am so happy that I chose Semper for my solar project!

Comment: Well where do I start. So Im a first time home buyer who does his research on everything as Im renovating my new home. Solar comes up. I get a few quotes from licensed solar companies all through SD. Then I came across Semper Solaris. The woman on the phone Billy Jean was so genuine and sweet about explaining to scheduling basically everything I needed to know as the project is getting prepared(Thank you Billy). Semper sends out their rep Named Mark Ivory. Wow let me tell you, he literally broke down solar exactly how I needed someone can. Since each solar company from the other bids and info I received; those companies didnt see the value as much as Mark and Semper which I really appreciate. Mark was outstanding breaking how much kilowatts etc for the home per month to year and the price beats all for how many panels Im getting while all American made which is a nice plus as well. I really Thank you guys Semper for treating a novas person on solar as that and explaining every detail because theres a lot that goes into solar from permits to panels per home and Mark just knocked it put for me without me steering over anything. So from me to the Semper team(Billy and Mark) Thank you very much and guys give them a try. Youll definitely be impressed because Im tough as a customer but I didnt have to haggle. what!!!!!!!! Thank you again

Comment: Semper Solaris has been an amazing company to work with thus far. Rhami has been our agent throughout our roofing and solar project. He was by far the most diligent, professional, and accommodating representative we’ve ever worked with. He was totally hands on from start to finish and was able to walk us through the entire process. His knowledge and patience made us feel assured in the project and plan we ended up committing ourselves to. If you’re planning to go solar, give Semper Solaris a serious look and reach out to Rhami.

Comment: There are MANY choices out there for solar energy, and we spoke to a number of them. Semper Solaris is the way to go. They weren’t the cheapest, but our sales agent, Gary Phillips, answered every question in a way that made it easy to understand. This company is way ahead of their competitors, especially when it comes to batteries. If you are thinking Solar, you can’t go wrong calling Semper Solaris and ask for Gary!

Comment: I had solar panels installed in January and the process went extremely smoothly, I was very pleasantly surprised! I got a quick installation appointment, the work was completed in a single day, and the crew did not damage anything and left the garden clean. My sales manager Mark Ivory was friendly, knowledgeable, and above all, patient as I sent him several texts, and I probably could have answered some of my questions myself by more carefully reading the material that he had provided me. So overall a very good experience, can only recommend this company and Mark!

Comment: This company is pretty competitive in the solar market and their customer service is good for the most part. The sales guy sort of goes hands off after you sign the contract, but if you message them, they will answer. My project was solar panels along with main panel upgrade. They do use subcontractors but you can have the option to not use subcontractors. I didnt do that and there were a few issues. All of them were resolved quickly by their contractors so their response was good. Because of this, i recommend you request to use only their employees. Everytime I come in contact with their employees, they were very respectful, wore mask, and communicative of their work.So there are some key things their subcontractors messed up one. The electricians for the main panel upgrade did a poor job. Got it done but poor quality. They managed to cut into my interior wall from the exterior. Luckily, no one inside or anything of value was against that wall. They didnt put back my rain gutter and the conduit for the main line on the roof was not weather proofed. they just spackled tar around the base plate and hole. I took pictures and showed Semper and it was taken care of within a week. They placed new shingles around and it was quality.The solar installation was done well and i had no issues with their quality of work and that was a sub contractor as well. The only gripe I had was the lady from that company. She was debating what is passable with the city inspector AS I WAS WALKING WITH THEM. The inspector dinged her for a rivet that secured a badge onto the front of the main panel. He passed it because it was small but expected her to come back and apply silicone over the rivet. Semper corrected it.Essentially if I asked for no subcontractors, I might of had a better experience. I gave them 4 stars because Semper fixed the issues that their subcontractors messed up on. Their response was quick and of quality. The solar installation was pretty fluid and deadlines were met besides the issues along the way. At the end if the electrician didnt mess up and the solar installers liason actually took in the inspectors markings and siliconed that rivet. I would gave them 5 stars.

Comment: The only issue was actually getting an appointment for the initial quote. Once that ball was rolling it was smooth sailing! Their customer service was super patient and helpful. The actual roofer was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He went above and beyond when he found more extensive damage beneath the tiles than we anticipated. Our bill was way more reasonable than wed been quoted from other roofers. I would 100% contact them again and highly recommend them to others!

Comment: Rhami was fantastic to work with. He answered all of my technical questions. Oh yes, I am a contractor and an engineer so you know I can be a pain with questions about capabilities for current electrical load demands and projected usage should we pick up an electric car, best placement of collectors to maximize time of day generation which yields best return on investment. I am more knowledgeable after working through my questions and their offered solutions. The crews were timely, clean and professional. The work was well done. What more can you ask for? I can honestly say I am already recommending Semper Solaris and Rhami to my clients as well.

Comment: Great job getting our AC up and running. We had Semper Solaris install a new condenser and redo the supply ducts. There was a problem with the amount of cold air in the output. Flipe Piche Jr. came out and diagnosed the system. Determined that there was a valve that needed to be replaced. He ordered it and installed it when it came in. He also noticed that the duct leading to one of the guest rooms needed a damper to reduce the amount of air circulation. He did not have that part on his truck but promised to come back with it. He did and we are good to go!We really appreciate Felipe for his tenacity in making our system top notch!

Comment: Given the California fire hazards and potential electrical power losses, my wife and I decided that adding a battery to our existing solar system might be prudent. After substantial homework considering the options, and then severely testing the patience of Semper Solaris super sales representative, Paul Rampoldi, with endless questions, we signed a contract to purchase on 7-7-2020. Paul clearly explained, in writing and pictures, what the schedule would entail. Considering all the very unusual circumstances of Covid 19 virus, extreme state-wide temperatures and fire-fighting, plus support team family disruptions regarding school starts, etc., we expected substantial delays.Instead, our initial and very thorough site inspection, including roof and solar panel checks, was very professionally conducted by Alberto Quintero on 7-22-2020. Following all design processes and pre-approval, material acquisition and scheduling, actual installation was conducted on 8-21/24-2020 by Val Valdez and Eliseo Morales. Paul Rampoldi, the project sales representative, even went to the trouble to stop by to observe the installation action. The installation team could not have been more professional. Almost surgical in their approach, everything was clean, orderly, well-coordinated between the two and completed with precision. Not one dropped screw or piece of any scrap was left. Their work was immaculate and they kept me completely informed throughout.Post-installation and pre-inspection preparation was so well conducted by Aria Moeini that the successful city inspection was completed in minutes on 8-25-2020! Semper Solaris requested “permission to operate” from SDG&E and it was granted on 8-26-2020. It was a very smooth, orderly flow of events!The positive pattern continued on 9-09-20 when our UV unit was scheduled to be installed. Felipe Piche and Steven Steward called to confirm one hour prior to scheduled arrival time. They arrived exactly on time, described their plan, and completed the installation in less than an hour. Throughout, they were neat, clean, courteous, and exceptionally well-spoken in describing their work and operating procedures for the equipment. The worksite was left neat and clean!In my former profession as a management consultant and trainer, I worked very closely with every function and paygrade within hundreds of trade contractors in several states. I’ve never seen one more impressive than Semper Solaris has been in this endeavor! EVERY company representative has been on time, pleasant, courteous, well-spoken, very clear as to their intent and in their follow-up, and well-focused. EVERY person has pre-announced what I could expect, performed their function, then ensured that I saw and understood what had been achieved. Every step was prefaced by a call from the office confirming what and when each event was to occur, who would arrive and that they would call before arriving. There have been no surprises and every event has gone exactly as advertised. Chris, the battery guru in the office, has been super helpful in helping me with detailed battery questions. The finished product is a very neat, compact, clearly labelled package. See attached picture.

Comment: I was convinced that all solar companies were out for my money and the state tax credit, with no concern for my needs! I knew Semper Solaris supported Veterans and invited them to give me a quote. Wow, not what I expected! Dave gave me an education on the whole process and convinced me that outright sale was the way to go! He sized my system based on my average use and gave me a couple of discounts as well. He set up my system to be financed thru Wheelhouse credit union. Every detail was arranged, and all documents were electronically signed, in just a few days.They drew up the plans, submitted for permit, and came out to do the install in just 2 weeks. Austin and a team of installers were such a joy to have crawling all over my house! I asked that ugly exterior pipes be avoided, and they did! Not one pipe is visible on the outside of my home. I am so pleased with the outcome! I know they worked hard as they finished 3 pizza’s and a case of cold bottled water! I’m excited to get the app that will give me system operation details on my phone. Definitely 5 stars for Semper Solaris!!!

Comment: We needed a new roof...water stains on the ceiling told us as much. So we contacted several reputable roofing companies and in the process decided solar was also a great purchase. With several bids in hand, we chose Semper Solaris. It was David Kaul who took the time to explain the whole thing - tax credits, estimates, and all - and from there we spoke with several knowledgeable and personable employees who treated us very well from day one. The entire project only lasted a few days and the work and follow-up were A+. Feel free to get multiple bids, but none will match the quality of service, materials, and workmanship youll get from Semper Solaris.

Comment: Semper Solaris did a super job installing our solar system. Michael Gault our sales representative supported us all the way through the installation. We liked that they were veteran owned and managed as well as the fact that they are also a roofing company. Their bid was competitive with others and the installation took less than a single day. Our neighbors commented on how professional they were and how respectful of the neighbors during the installation. We had our installation done on Monday and were live the following Tuesday.Picture below of our first full month of solar production!! Yea!!!

Comment: Semper Solaris – Michael Gault and his amazing team of professionals - our lifeline! Moving to a 2-story home, 3x larger than the condo we moved from, a pool and spa in the back yard – and utility bills skyrocketing - we quickly realized Solar was essential. Based on research, we selected three companies to interview, and Semper Solaris was clearly so far superior to the others there was no choice to be made. From the moment Michael Gault arrived for our appointment, the rest was flawless. Michael had already done extensive research on our property, had our solar plan designed, and opened his computer and walked us through the education we needed to make the decision easy.True to its Mission Statement, Semper Solaris is a company who exemplifies honesty, high integrity, and is dedicated to what is best for its customers; no oversell, no undersell but simply what is needed for maximum solar efficiency. Further, the entire installation project, working with a team of dedicated experts, was seamless, flowed smoothly, and was completed, inspected, and approved in a few short weeks. We are very grateful to the whole Semper Solaris team!

Comment: After receiving 5 bids for my solar system I decided to go with Mike Berg from Semper Solaris. He was by far the most knowledgeable about the entire process as well many different solar panels and financing options. He was very patient in answering all of my questions as well.The installation crew was fantastic as was the customer service. Every time I had a question they answered it quickly and if they did not know the answer right away they followed through with a call back. Highly recommend Semper Solaris.

Comment: We looked at a few companies for solar. We wanted panels made in the USA and we narrowed it down to Semper Solaris. They worked with us and were very clear in communicating every step involved. Even with having to add something in order to accommodate our panel the job was completed on schedule which is rare these days. Mark Ivory was exceptional and we highly recommend.

Comment: I was always quite hesitant when it came to installing solar on my home. But when my roof began to leak the solar solution just started to make more sense. I figured if I needed an entire new roof I may as well put solar on it at the same time.I am so happy that I went with Semper Solaris for my total roof replacement, seamless rain gutter system and solar application.Semper Solaris designed the perfect size system tailored specifically for my needs. Its just the right size for my family. Also, the roof repair went seamlessly. The crew worked diligently and cleaned up very well after themselves which was a concern of mine because I have small children that run around outside.During the entire installation process from the roof repair to the day I turned on my solar system, Cesar Arenas (Project manager) did a fabulous job communicating with me and letting me know the status of the work.My home looks more beautiful than ever with the new seamless rain gutters. And you cant even see the solar panels because they are so low-profile and sleek. Even when you do get a peak at them they look beautiful.Ive had the system turned on for only over a month and SDGE already owes me money. I am so excited to be able to run my AC this summer and not stress about the electric bill. And I cant even put a price on the peace of mind I have with my fabulous roof.You wont be sorry going with Semper. Thank you Semper Solaris!P.S. My tax preparer stated they did a perfect job with all documentation which made filing with the IRS a breeze!

Comment: I worked Nicole Laco from Semper Solaris to get our solar system designed, quoted, installed. She met with me to go over all the details, helped secure excellent financing through local credit union, and was there every step of the way. The on-site crew were some tough looking pipe-hitters. But they were respectful, courteous, and efficient. My install was 40+ panels and they were done in about 48 hours! I was impressed. If you’re looking for solar, stop your research and just hire these folks. They are veteran-owned and run a tight operation. They are consummate professionals. Highly recommend.

Comment: Appreciate the great customer service I have received From Chris and the entire Semper Solaris team in getting my solar back up and running after my inverter stopped working. They ordered a new inverter from solar edge. Only hiccup was the part was back ordered and had to wait almost a month. However they kept me in the loop and I have my solar system back up and running.

Comment: Great decision to move forward with a great company to install our new roof and solar panels.We inquired about Solar some three years ago and contacted Semper Solaris. They sent Energy Consultant David B. out. David was informative, patient and honest. While we didnt commit to solar on that visit because our roof was 27 years old and resources for a roof available at the time we postponed.2019 rolled around and resources became available, so another call to Semper Solaris. We had two bids for a new roof prior to the pleasure of seeing David B. again, some three years later. David laid everything out explained options and financing.We decided to have Semper Solaris do both our roof and solar. Their roofing bid was inline with others and I believe in the end was less then the other two quality roofers. Sean O. was our Roofing Project manager and got the job done fast and efficiently, beating the rain. With a reroof there will always be change orders when the existing roof is removed. Our extra work was way less than I feared. This is due to not being taken advantage of cost over-runs. The roofers were all conscientious and thoroughly cleaned up after each work day.Within a day or two I get a call from Billie Y., the Solar Project Manager assigned to our job. Billie called to schedule our Solar Panel installation. Being retired I was ready to start any time. Billie said how about tomorrow! Our system was installed in two days. A simple 13 panel system in one location made it go fast. Then about 7-10 days after waiting for SDG&E to do their thing we were making power and being better Stewards of nature! Billie kept on top of things with updates.One minor issue arose which, with the stellar help of Jontai G. was resolved. Jontai is a textbook Customer Support Professional. She kept me updated as progress on the resolution and even called when there wasnt any news to report. A call simply assuring me she was on it and hadnt forgotten.To say the least, everyone I had contact with adds value to Semper Solariss mission. Do I recommend Semper Solaris? Indeed I do!George R.

Comment: I am a 15 year solar professional and while I am an employee I would not be here if it was not the best of the best. Over 100 so called solar companies in San Diego County I selected Semper Solaris because they Walk the Walk while others talk. I can tell my customers a build time and it will happen. What is most important in the industry is pay your bills so you can get the materials to build your next job. Thats what John and Kelly do,The other thing I like is I can tell my customers to drop by any time and ask to see an owner. There is a good chance you can because John and Kelly are hands on and go to work every day. Give Semper Solaris a shot. You wont be disappointed.

Comment: Semper Solaris and David K. were awesome the entire process of planning, installing, and activating our rooftop solar system. We had heard many great things as we looked at multiple companies, and Semper lived up to their great reputation in our community. Seven months in our system has been problem free and producing even more energy than was estimated, and are very happy we chose Semper Solaris and have highly recommended them to friends and family already.

Comment: Theres absolutely no other company we would have rather had to install our solar. Customer service was phenomenal from our sales representative to the installation crew and everyone in between. You can tell people work here because they truly care and believe in what theyre doing - a special thanks to Dacy for being a spectacular help through the process!As a military family, we also owe a big thank you to the co-owner, Captain Kelly, for his service and running a company that maintains strong standards and values. It shows tremendously, and were grateful for it.We emphatically recommend Semper Solaris to anyone looking for solar, batteries, roofing or heat/air. They will not disappoint.

Comment: We used Semper to add solar to our house and then again for our re-roof. Semper was attentive throughout the entire process and helped keep us informed along the way. We worked closely with David K. from start to finish. It was great having a point of contact that we could trust. He worked closely with us to make sure everything was on track and to achieve our end goals. We are very happy with Semper and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their home.

Comment: We highly recommend Semper Solaris. David Bell was our consultant and he presented a very solid, understandable proposal with specific expected results. We went with Semper Solaris even thought their bid was the highest of several we obtained because of their superior technology, theyre a local company and use American made products. The installation so excellent and so much better organized and smooth than I expected. Now a year later, we have had our first true-up with SDGE and the results exceeded Davids projection. We went from a month cost exceeding $200 to an average $5-6 monthly now. They are an excellent company and deliver as promised.

Comment: Good communication and excellent execution. The emails they sent me along the way explained everything I could expect during the project; and my sales associate Rhami was available by phone call for any additional questions I had. Semper Solaris’ workers were polite and didn’t step on my rose bushes. They cleaned up after themselves. I’m very satisfied overall and feel confident in them being in business for the long run to service my system if needed.

Comment: To start off, we were really impressed with the crew. They called ahead, showed up on time, and showed up every day. They were very efficient and respectful, and cleaned up every day. We did have one issue, but it was fixed without any hassles. Sean, our job supervisor for both our roofing and solar project, kept us well-informed, and took care of any questions and issues we had, and was able to work with our schedule as we were traveling. Billie Yako, our project manager, also kept our project on track and set us up with a follow up appointment. We were referred by one of our friends that worked with Mark Ivory and Semper Solaris. We were so pleased that we even referred two of our friends.

Comment: I recently had a solar system installed at my house by Semper Solaris. The team I worked with included, among others, David Bell, who did the initial consult, Mark Kravchak, the project manager, and Mike, the on-site manager. Everyone I dealt with was polite and knowledgeable. In particular, in the first meeting, I did not get any hard-sells, special one day only deals, or any of the other non-sense that I have run into with other solar companies. David was ready to answer my technical questions and provided me all the information I needed to make a decision. Come install day, I requested a change to my install plan, which was accommodated without issue even though it required a plan change at the city. Since then, my solar system has been approved and activated, and its performing better than expected.I want to particularly point out a few instances in which Sempers service really impressed me. First, the install was ridiculously well-orchestrated and quick. 14 panels up on my roof in half a day. Second, they made the effort to paint all of the solar conduit so it blends nicely into the house. I thought that was a nice, professional touch. Third, I found one of the installers actually touching up another pipe from an unrelated system with paint, which your truly had poorly painted. Thats a sign of a company that cares about quality and going above and beyond for a customer. Fourth and finally, I had several technical questions throughout that were addressed thoughtfully even though they were not really required for the team to get the job done. I was really, very impressed.Thanks for an excellent job done, Semper Solaris. I look forward to recommending you to my friends.

Comment: I had retained Semper Solaris as the general contractor for my home roofing and solar projects. The roofing project had been completed to my great satisfaction as listed in my previous review. The solar project was fully completed a couple of weeks ago. And true to form the solar project was also completed to my great satisfaction.Semper Solaris was able to fast track both my solar project city permit and SDG&E net-metering permission. The solar project was completed much sooner than I had originally expected. The project team led by Billie Yako was punctual, efficient and meticulous and kept me informed every step through the whole project. Billie went out of her way to turn on my solar system production without delay once SDG&E gave its permission while our family was on vacation in Europe. I really appreciate that effort and I’ll definitely recommend Semper Solaris to anyone interested in going solar.

Comment: A year ago, my wife and I contracted with Semper Solaris to install a solar panel system on our house. From start to finish, the company did a great job.This year we wanted to add a battery unit to our system. Again we contracted with Semper Solaris.Everything was going fine. The plans were drawn up and approved by the city. The battery and new inverter were installed. Upon inspection, the city inspector determined the location of the battery was not appropriate in deference to the approved plans.At that point, Mike Vassoler, Assistant Construction Manager, reached out to me. He worked with me on the new location specifications. Mike walked me through the projects next steps. After the unit was installed, he dedicated himself to getting the battery approved by SDG&E, getting it online and configured in a manner that allowed me to understand how it was operating. I really appreciate the fact that Mike worked over a weekend rather than wait until Monday to configure the system. Thank you, Mike Vassoler.Finally, I am still learning how the new unit works but I feel confident Mike will still be available to answer my questions.

Comment: Semper was recommended to us by a friend that was happy with his experience. Paul R came out to our home and design a system. He explain how the solar system will save us money and answered our question. I was impressed how detailed he explained how the system works. They were good about keeping us informed throughout the 8 week process. The install team was professional and did a great job. As most homeowners we were worried about installing solar on our tile roof. They were careful not to damage the roof.Now we are saving money with solar. Feels good. Good by SDG&E.I would recommend Semper Solaris to friends and family.

Comment: We needed a few shingles replaced on our roof so we had a couple companies come out to give us a quote. Semper Solaris was the easily the most affordable. One company recommended replacing the entire roof! Semper was able to schedule a technician to come out a couple days after the quote and Drew handled it in less than thirty minutes. He also confirmed that my roof was doing just fine and not in need of a complete replacement.Would definitely recommend and will be using them again in the future for any roofing needs.

Comment: We have a solar system that was installed by another company about 15 years ago. I called several companies because one of our inverters was not working and it was out of warranty. The companies I called were not willing to work on existing systems. Not only did Semper Solaris accepted the challenge but they did a great job. The technicians, Erik and Kevin, were courteous, professional and knowledgeable.

I liked that they email and text to communicate, more than by phone, so I can get to it when Im not so busy. Overall, everything went really well, from the sales consultation, the the installation which was really quick, to the after care. I would recommend anyone thinking about solar to give them a call.

Comment: My inverter stopped working. I did all the troubleshooting to bring it back online, but it still did not work. Called Solar Edge the inverter company and they looked at my system and said I needed a new inverter. About 4 weeks passed (the inverter was intermittent) so I had solar power some days and not others. Getting a the new replacement inverter had stalled.This is when April Wozniak got involved with my issue and within a few days I got a call telling me that Semper Solaris had received the replacement inverter from Solar Edge and April had scheduled a service call with Tony (an exceptionally knowledgeable technician on solar systems - I knew I was in good hands) who was 10 minutes early to start the service call.The old inverter was replaced and the new one was operational thanks to the professional service from April and Tony. Job well done.

Comment: We shopped around for a solar energy system for a few years, and chose Semper Solaris. They offered us a good bid for our solar project, the pricing was right. The people were very professional, our sales consultant Roland was really nice and very informative. The crew did a great job, very neat, and didnt leave a mess. The system was installed all in one day. The process went very very smooth, from installation, to inspection, to permission to turn on. The city even came out right away and approved our system, and he was a great guy too. We were told to expect the whole process to take a month, and they did it in only two weeks! We would definitely recommend Semper Solaris to all of our friends and family!

Comment: Wow!!! I had eight bids and Semper Solaris got my business (fyi, I had to replace my roof too). I rated price, quality of panels and sales tactics. Semper Solaris had the best pricing on a 4.6 KW system, the Panisonic panels are made in Buffalo, NY and Mike Winklepleck was honest and never pressured me in buying from them. I did six months of research on what I needed using resources such as Energy Sage and other tools. Without a doubt I would recommend any of my friends and family to give Mike W. a call. My neighbor had the same experience and just got his panels up and running.As for my experience from the company. Every person from the roofing crew, the panel crew and office team was exceptional. Their roofers were clean, reliable and hard working. The panel crew was the same and walked me through each phase of their work. The office crew were the epitome of customer service.

Comment: After selling solar for the past 9 years I finally got to have a system installed at my home! Of course I choose Semper Solaris because they are the best company in the business. Some may say that I am bias because I work for them. Im lucky to work for a company who really cares about their employees and their customers. Their pricing is the best value for what you get.It was great to be on the customer end of things to see how my clients feel. The process was streamlined and the office did everything that I preached to my clients daily. I only had to deal with the bank online and Semper took care of the rest. The installers were very friendly and finished the entire job in one day. Mike was great to work with as he helped us get the system turned on and our monitoring all set up!If you are looking for solar or to work for a great company I recommend Semper!

Comment: We had a fellow church member who referred us to Semper Solaris. They had a great price and a no pressure consultation compared to other companies. I wanted to make sure that I was getting the best price for my dollar, and Rhami worked with me on that. He was patient during the process. I am a Navy veteran, and once I shared that with Rhami, he let me know that Semper Solaris offers a $500 discount for veterans.I like that they were able to put all ten panels on the back of the house, out of eyesight of the street. They are on the west side of the roof and Semper Solaris was able to arrange them to optimize production. They worked with me to get the pipes and the conduit to match the house. There was a bit of an issue with the original paint being a bit messy, but I called Semper Solaris customer service and they had someone come out to take care of it quickly. My favorite part of the install was that they were able to place the inverter inside of the garage, tucked away and out of sight. They installed my system in less than a day. Ive been able to easily reach team members for customer service, monitoring setup and questions, and a walk through to further understand my system and monitoring.I would recommend Semper Solaris to anyone thinking about going solar.

Comment: I looked at several companies for solar before going with Semper Solaris. Gavin came out and was great at providing an overview of their product and how the system would work. The project manager (Mark) and installer (Mike) were amazing. They communicated with me all the way through the process. They shared tips on the system and completed the job in less time than I expected. I saw an immediate difference in my SDGE bill after the first cycle. Semper even did a final walk through (thanks Courtney) to show me more about the system and monitoring app. Thanks for the great service. Id highly recommend.

Love that they are military owned and operated since almost all the men in our family are military.Love the way they installed my families system. I’ve seen a lot of other panels sitting really high off the roof where ours look super sleek! The project moved faster than expected. We were installed and turned on within 8 days!!! The guys were super friendly who installed the system and cleaned up after they were done.We’ve already referred our neighbors who signed a contract last week!

Semper Solaris made the process easy and working with their installers was a snap. The Semper Solaris team was on top of the project from day one and the installers were extremely professional. From system delivery, installation, powering up the system and setting up the monitoring, the Semper Solaris team ensured that I knew what to expect. From contract signing to system powering the whole process took less them two months. The system is amazing and my SDG&E bills have been reduced to zero even with my thirsty Electric Vehicle.

Comment: Initially I contracted to have SolarWorld panels installed. Subsequently, after greater research, I declined to proceed with contract because the SolarWorld panels (17.3%) were much less efficient that SunPower (22.2%), Panasonic (19.7%), or LG panels (21.1%). Knowing that Semper Solaris only installed American-made panels, and had ceased doing business with SunPower, my only option was American-made Panasonic panels (VBHN330SA17). Semper Solaris does not install LG panels because they were not made in the United States, which disappointed me.Three months after the initial contract, I finalized a new contract including Panasonic panels for a slightly higher price. Kudos to Annie Shalita, for her patience in ensuring that all my concerns were addressed in the new contract, such as final payment upon SDG&E PTO, positioning the panels to maximize exposure to the sun, and out of view of the street.Thanks to Annie Shalita, my concerns regarding the second set of plans were addressed, such as a change in the manufacturer of the inverter (Enphase vs SolarEdge) and positioning of a ladder in view of the street.After a considerable delay for the city to approve the plans, the installation process was very smooth. Another big kudos to Billie Yako for coordinating the installation, inspection by the city of Encinitas, and permission to operate by SDG&E, arranging for personal instruction of the computer monitoring system Enlighten by Enphase, and patiently answering my many questions. Kudos also to Courtney Day for the home visit and to Tony in the office for answering my technically-related questions.During Courtneys visit, I realized there was no consumption monitoring feature in my Enlighten account, which was not brought to my attention previously. The consumption portion of the monitoring system is important to me and I have requested Courtney and Tony to investigate whether this feature is compatible with my electrical panel and it can be added. I will update my review after receiving word from Semper Solaris.

Comment: As a tech nerd, I researched for months before deciding on using Semper Solaris to install our solar panels. We had several friends use various companies, some big, some small and I observed their installs and what worked and what didnt before deciding on Semper Solaris.Technology: I wanted SunPower panels because they are the most efficient panels available and my wife did not want a roof full of solar panels. With only 13 panels, we generate enough electricity to meet our demands 99% of the time.Install: Semper Solaris came out and did the install in 1 day. They laid out everything and bent the conduit to make the roof line and hide as much as possible under the panels. They painted the conduit to match the exterior of the home which was a very nice touch. They took the time to clean up the yard and make sure nothing was left for kids or pets to find. I also like the fact that Semper Solaris also does roofing so in 30 years or so I will have full confidence to have them come out and re shingle our house.Permits: The permit process was incredibly painless. From contract to install was 3 weeks, and install to inspection was only 1 week. SDGE came through a week and a half later and we were generating electricity in under 3 months total. Sometimes the County or SDG&E can take longer than expected to issue permits and it isnt always something a company can control. However, the fact our install and permits happened flawlessly in mid-December was very impressive.Sales and staff: Everyone at Semper Solaris was quick to respond, helpful, and professional. We never felt pressured to buy more solar panels or upgrade our electrical panel (optional). David Bell worked on our initial quote a year before we signed the contract and still remembered who we were and what we wanted a year later.Longevity: Weve had our solar panels for over a year now. Our power generation outpaced our consumption for the year. We did not owe SDG&E any money at our true up date. Our neighbors compliment the install of our panels, and the fact that you do not see them from the front. So many other houses in our neighborhood have panels covering every side of their roof and conduit running over the peak, and our house maintains its curb appeal while generating more than enough electricity.

Comment: SDGE rates have become so expensive and so I am thrilled to turn on my solar system! My husband and I have peace of mind going into retirement knowing we have taken control of our energy expense. There are so many companies to choose from, but I highly recommend Semper Solaris to get this done right for you! I have shopped with so many companies and thankful I have chosen Semper Solaris for a pleasant experience from consultation to installation. Roland was my energy consultant who I highly recommend asking for. He has become like a friend and easy to talk to. His time in the industry shows as he is very knowledgeable, personable, and a great communicator. The office team was accommodating and I was well-informed throughout the process. The install crew was professional and cleaned up nicely. 5 Star service for sure! Thank you again to all of you at the company I feel so happy!Norlyn

Comment: My recent business with Semper Solaris has been Outstanding. Due to the recent rainy season, my roof was damaged and leaking. I had five quotes with other vendors for solar and 3 quotes for the roof. I decided to go with Semper Solaris because they had the best price for both solar and roof as a combo. They also were veteran owned and had a good rating on Yelp and Google. I had to do research on the type of panels and invertors just to make sure that they had a quality product. Others countered and still could not beat the price. To start, my Consultant was Roland O. He informed me on the process, how long it would take, and the cost. I was given a military/veteran discount. Next, was Field Supervisor Cesar A. He walked me through the re-roofing project. That part of the project took about 2 weeks for the entire roof. Once complete, then the solar portion took place. Billie Yako, Senior Installation Coordinator, held my hand through the process, making sure everything was correct and on schedule. If I had any questions, then she would call, text, or email within 24 hours. The solar project portion took less than a week. SDG&E and the city inspection passed in less than a week later. Billie followed up making sure everything went smooth and insured that I was able to monitor my system online or on my smart phone. The entire project was done during the rainy season and was completed under 1 month from start to finish. I would highly recommend Semper Solaris.

Comment: A family member did a lot of research and came up with Semper Solaris as an excellent, trusted company. His project went flawlessly some months ago so I took the leap. From initial sales presentation, everything was made very clear. Project manager Billie Yako was so very available and answered our few questions during the very quick process. In a matter of a few weeks from initial contact SDG&E worked most efficiently with Semper to do their part and yesterday the very professional and efficient installation crew finished. 8:00 AM-3:00 PM and all 24 panels were up. And the next day (today) the Santee building inspector met with the foreman and signed it all off. Within the next two weeks SDG&E will do their last bit and well be up and running. VERY HIGHLY recommend Semper Solaris.

Comment: Semper Solaris installed my solar panels and installed a new electric meter. They did the job quickly and efficiently. I could tell that this was a USMC run organization, and most of the installers on my property were well trained vets. I would highly recommend to not look anywhere else when it comes to solar or roofing.

Comment: When you work for a local financing company you are exposed to a totally different side of contractors, the good and the bad. One of the things I am most impressed by in the Solar industry is when I do not see internal compliance cases against a contractor that offers our financing option. Most reputable contractors may have a few however I do not remember seeing any compliance cases with this company.As a veteran I sincerely appreciate their commitment to the veteran community. Keep up the great work Semper!

Comment: We couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Thank you Semper Solaris, your installers were on time, efficient and clean. We are looking forward to enjoying all the benefits from our solar panel system along with a lifetime warranty roof from Owens Corning. We really didn’t see the point of getting a solar system without addressing the roof at the same time. Semper has a special warranty that most companies can’t even offer. Our sales rep Steve was awesome to work with and followed up with us during the process.

Comment: A great appreciation for Semper Solaris in supporting our fellow Veterans and their customers. Semper Solaris has always gone above and beyond to take care of all customers. I have referred friends to Semper Solaris and all have expressed their sincere thanks for the service. Even when issues arise, Semper Solaris is on top of resolving any matter quickly resulting in further referrals. Additionally, they are a no BS company meaning that they don’t sell their products or services just to make a sale. They focus on the overall benefit to the costumer. If solar is your goal then Semper Solaris is the company of choice.

Comment: I have a Semper Solar system on our home, now for a couple of years. I have to say I have had the best experience. I worked with Mark Ivory on the purchase of a 24 panel system for our home. Mark was timely and very professional. He explained the system clearly to us, and had us understand the benefits of solar. I am in real estate and I can see the purchase of a system adding HUGE value to the value of the home. The company back their products with a great warranty and it is a US based long standing company. I was also amazed that one time, I arrived home and there was a guy on our roof, cleaning the panels, since they were monitoring our system and found out that the production was low. Someone automatically came out to rectify the problem and cleared a few leaves from the panels. Mark was quick to follow up when we needed to change to net metering. The system was installed really quickly and the new monitoring was set up and runs fantastically. Thank you Semper Solaris and Mark Ivory!!

Comment: It is crucial as a Realtor, to seek out contractors whom possess the integrity and professionalism to perform at a high level of service for my clients. Additionally, the basis for choosing the right contractor weighs heavily upon the initial interaction and history of the company. I look for a company that will provide the most cost-effective and timely completion of a project. I also institute these principles when looking for contractors whom will service me on a personal level. I can sincerely say that service from Semper Solaris, from the initial point of contact with my sales person, Roland Obana and the project manager, Mark Kravchak, was superb. Their customer service was outstanding and the quality of work very professional. Prior to making my decision to contract with Semper Solaris, I met with four other solar companies. All of these encounters were exhausting and, frankly in some cases, a dishonest experience. Semper Solaris was upfront on all costs from the beginning. They constantly updated me so I would be apprised all of the details and what to expect during the process. I would recommend them to anyone whom is considering solar. I believe they deserve more than a 5-star rating!

Comment: My husband and I decided after numerous exorbitant SDG&E bills, to go solar. However, we also needed a new roof. Ideally, finding a company that did both was preferred but we were open to going with two separate companies. Our goal was to have a quality solar panel system, roof and warranty. We ultimately received estimates from four, top rated companies. Two of them were strictly solar and the other two did both solar and roof. One of the four, was Semper Solaris.Fortunate for us, Semper Solaris sent their sales rep, Chase Calkins. We were impressed from moment he walked thru the door. He was punctual, polite, sincere, conscientious, patient and personable. The more time we spent with him, his work ethic, integrity and honesty was apparent. Not once did we feel he was reciting from some sales script, rushed or pressure of any kind. His wealth of knowledge about the solar product was far superior. He explained everything thoroughly and answered every single question. He proficiently computated how much kWh’s we needed, cost and loan options at the appointment. Although Semper’s solar system and roof wasn’t the cheapest price, we recognized neither was its quality and depth of their warranty. We felt it was the best value overall. The decision to go with Semper Solaris was an easy one. Even after the sale, Chase checked in with us periodically to make sure we were kept apprised of the progress.Roof and solar installment went smoothly. The foremen, leads and installers were knowledgeable, friendly and polite. They were excellent in cleaning up the job site every day they were here. To our surprise, the solar was actually installed in one day!I highly recommend Chase and Semper Solaris to all my family, friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.Sincerely,Geri and Tim Gravelle

Comment: We worked with Laura Poirier on our project. She was very knowledgeable and professional, and Semper Solaris did a great job, from the initial bid, to installation, system activation and monitoring, the process was easy. The system works great. My only regret is that I didnt call them much earlier.

Comment: Semper Solaris is not just another contractor, they are an elite contractor. From the first phone call from Dustin, the sales rep, to the install team, Jeff, Tyler, Robbie, Jason and Kiril, and the last congtadulatory permission to operate call from my project managers Michael and Mark, the team was on it. I have never experienced working with a project team that took the time to keep me in the loop and let me know what to expect each week of the project. Love love love this company. This was our second experience having solar installed and the product and team were superior to what we had previously experienced.

Comment: Best decision I’ve made choosing Semprr Solaris. They obtain city permit & schedule SDG&E inspection to operate panels. The work crew were prompt, efficient & cleaned up(made my wife happy!). Mark our representative made follow up calls to make sure we were online for power checks & to make sure we were satisfied. Great service! 👍🏼👍🏼

Comment: My husband and I had been talking about Solar for about a year now...with this crazy summer we finally met with 4 different companies. We wanted sun power panels but figured it was out of our budget. Before we made the final decision we researched companies that installed some power panels and really liked Semper Solaris.Genevieve Johnson came out very quickly and explained in detail the difference in panels. She’s very knowledgeable in the area and answered all of our questions. She was easy to talk to and after finding out sun power panels with Semper Solaris would cost us a few dollars less and be more efficient than the other panels / companies it was a no brainer for us.The company moved quickly, the workman were at my house early and were very efficient. They installed quickly, cleaned up after themselves and I am pleased with how neat and tidy the equipment looks.Genevieve has been there through every step. If you’re looking to get solar Genevieve is the person to talk to!!

Comment: We did our homework and received estimates from several solar installation companies. Sempers combination of professionalism, top quality products, fully licensed staff, and ability to meet our price point won them our business.Getting solar installed on your house is a long process with multiple steps to complete; however, the entire time Sempers staff kept us informed of what was going on and what was going to happen next. Our system has been up and running for about a month and we have had no issues with the system thus far. If you are looking to have a premium solar system installed on your house by a profession organization, then I recommend you give Semper Solaris on opportunity to win your business.

Comment: This review is based on our in-home consultation with Rhami.Dealing with Rhami has been a pleasure so far! He was punctual and well dressed when he arrived at our home. A very friendly guy (even our dog took a liking to him ... sorry for the slober on your shoes haha).Just FYI - we spent time talking to MANY different solar panel providers and contractors and boiled it down to only two solar panel manufacturers and a handful of contractors. Of those we felt that SunPower were the most efficient panels and provided the most value for money.That allowed us to down select only two contractors - one of which was Semper Solaris (note there are many contractors who can offer you these panels, but we focused on those with a high amount of solid reviews!).Rhami was very knowledgeable on both the products as well as their company and competitors. This put them far above the rest of the competition. He was easy to talk to, explained certain concepts and procedures very well - and most importantly, made us feel comfortable with the options.I did a LOT of research prior to speaking with all the contractors and I could tell (even based of the solar panel spec sheets) that the information I was receiving was accurate enough.Rhami did well to give us the best price he could, and went above and beyond to really showcase why they are different from the competition. Our big decision was not based upon price alone, but also licenses (that were verified by the CSLB). They have the B, C10, C39 and C46 which gave us a lot of comfort that 1. they knew what they are doing and certified to do so and 2. we would be protected in the event things go sideways (versus un-licensed contractors).We ended up going with the newer SunPower 360 AC panels and are in the process of putting in a 6.12kW system (we leaned towards these panels because they also have the micro-inverters and were the most efficient panels at the time of research).I will update this review later once the installation is complete and our panels are soaking up the sun!Thanks Rhami and Semper Solaris! We are looking forward to getting these put in soon!

I dont think thats typicality completed that fast so we were pleased!Thanks Semper Solaris!And a special thanks for all the vets who work for you for their service.
