US Green Energy Technologies

We have had our solar since December of 2016 and have been very happy with the performance. In 2017 we were only billed for the connection to SCE and usually generated excess power. We even got a refund check about 1 year after it was installed from SCE. YES I would hire Alex to help me again and yes I would refer him to friends and family. We interviewed 10 to 12 solar companies and got the best deal and assurances/warranties (roof, maintenance and panels) from Alex. There was a small billing issue where we tried to use our home equity line to pay off the PPA using their electronic check system but since it did not go through, I was billed an additional 25.00 from US Green, I believe this was the only issue where I felt unsatisfied, other than that I was pretty happy and if that is the only hiccup, I'll take it. I haven't noticed any roof issues after a big winter...oh and one more thing, they did tell me they would take care of communications with the HOA but I ended up having to do it myself, which was easier than expected. I simply submitted the information and layout of our panels mapped out by US green and it was approved with out a problem. I do remember when the city inspector came down from the roof he informed me that it was one of the better installations he has seen. So a big job comes with lots of hiccups but I would say it was pretty smooth, Alex and his team communicate very well, my expectations were met and I did also have them install a 220v in my garage to hookup the charging station for my car. :)

Hi my name is Joe and this year I had solar installed and it was the best thing I've done to save me money. My electric bill was $350.00.and now it's less then $10.00 dollars so if you think I'm not happy boy are you wrong. The job turned out really great I love it and I'll tell any that's going to get one go with US Green. I'm glad I went with them.

We just had our solar installed at the end of 2016, and thus far we have been very happy! I will be happier when i get that huge tax incentive haha :) Can't say much about longevity of course because we just got it, but here are some pros:<br />-sales team was not pushy at all, we actually decided to install more panels than the general recommendation due to kids coming in the future and my opinion that to pay 1/3 less now (with tax credit) would make a lot more sense even if the excess is paid back and not a super great rate (what else to expect from state though, not like it's super surprising)<br />-install was easy and didn't require much on our side which was super helpful since we both travel for work quite often<br />-they have a cool website which tracks how much energy you are bringing in and roughly the dollar value of it<br /><br />I can't see any reason not to do this, especially when the tax credit is available. Given that our electric was $150/month and went down to basically zilch, the system will pay for itself in roughly 8 years, but in actuality much quicker since when we have kids electric would've been much higher. But at that point you have free electricity for the life of the panels! Plus it transfers to the new homeowners if you ever sell, what a phenomenal selling point in 10 years...Hey, guess what, move in here and you won't have an electric bill for maybe 20 years? Anyhow, all good things thus far. Can't wait to get my Tesla and power the car for free :)<br />-

We recently used US Green to add solar to our home. We are thrilled with the results. We should have done this sooner. The difference in our utility bills are astounding. US Green was wonderful to work with. Very professional. They handled everything from getting the permits to working with SDG&E to add the RMA line and to actually getting the system up and running on the grid. We couldn't be more pleased with the entire process. The installers were always on time and respectful. The entire project was completed on time as promised. Thank you US Green.

We recently had US Green install a solar system on our house. We were so pleased with the experience. Alex did a great job educating us about solar and how the panels work. We feel we ended up with a very efficient system. We are so happy we made the leap to solar using Alex and US Green. In July (the heat of the summer) we had a $9 electric bill. Woohoo!

I called US Green about adding Solar to my house after three neighbors who had used them recommended them. I was glad I did. Alex was my rep and he took care of everything. I am a project manager so I am very detailed oriented and hard to please, but these guys excelled at everything. From my initial meeting with Alex, everything could not have gone smoother. He studied over a year's worth of my electric bills and designed a system to cover my needs, I received a no pressure contract within days of our initial meeting and had the entire process with electricity being generated (and saving me $$) completed in four weeks. The installation crew were outstanding, in and out in a day and they really cared about my property and how the system looked after install – important to me since the panels ware on the front of my house. All in all, I would recommend them to friends and not hesitate to use them again for my solar needs.

We initially contacted U.S. Green Energy Technologies because two of our neighbors had used them a year ago and were very happy with their solar systems. These are neighbors who have very high expectations, ask a lot of questions, and do not accept anything but the best from contractors. We are the same. From the first contact, Alex was very responsive, informative, and worked quickly. We were very eager to get solar installed quickly and the company did everything possible to facilitate this for us. When we had questions or wanted specifications on equipment to be used, they readily sent over the information, and answered all our questions and concerns. They also had a great financing rate and excellent service through a credit union they use. Alex gave us data charts to show when we would break even and other valuable information. The staff was always available through phone or email during the installation process. We got two other estimates that had similar pricing; however we were impressed with U.S. Green's bidding and installation process, and the performance of the proposed equipment. <br /><br />We strongly recommend U.S. Green. They were honest, up front and fulfilled all our expectations. We recommend them to friends and to people who check out reviews online before choosing a company. Our neighbor has recently used them on another home he owns, which shows his level of satisfaction.

US Green Solar <br />For those looking to find a solar company that knows solar, listens to what customers want and need, I highly recommend U.S. Green Solar and its owner Alex Saenz.<br />From the start of my job to the end, Alex and his crew did a fantastic job! I was hesitant at first, but in reading and understanding the benefits of solar and now seeing the results produced, it was the right decision.<br />The look and overall installation of my solar system has been 100% perfect!<br />If you are looking for a solar company that delivered on what they promise I would look no further than to U.S. Green.<br />Phil B./Poway

The guy at Green Energy Technologies installed a system that gives me enough energy to keep from paying my electric bill at all. I have had solar installed now for two years and have not paid for electricity since it was installed. I think it was great when I heard SDG&E was going to increase electrical cost and I will not see any increase. <br />If you do not have solar you are missing out on a cool house. I am 70, and I have the AC on most of the day, and it great to feel comfortable. <br />I am very glad i have had solar installed. I am happy Alex at Solar Green monitors my system to insure top performance

This is the second home on which I've installed solar. Going with US Green has proven to be a very sound choice. Starting from the beginning, Alex provided accurate and detailed information that specifically targeted my home's layout. The choice of panels made maximum use of available sunlight, power output, product reliability, and cost-effectiveness.<br /><br />The installation was done on time and very cleanly. In fact, the building inspector (during the standard permit sign-off) commented that the high quality of this installation was typical of the US Green installations he'd inspected and there were only one or two other San Diego installers of comparable standards. And no, none of those were mass-marketed at home improvement stores.<br /><br />Lastly, the web interface is working beautifully with accurate reports on the performance of our solar installation.<br /><br />Two other important items are the LED solar tube that US Green also installed in our entry way and the hybrid inverter for the solar configuration. The solar tube, a 14” diameter with four LED lights inside, do an great job of brightening up an otherwise rather dim part of our home. Since the entry is really the first part of the home that a guest will see, the solar tube brightens it up without using any electricity during the day. At night, the LED lights are impressive in how much they brighten the area. Definitely worth the cost!<br /><br />The hybrid inverter is to accommodate a future battery, likely a Tesla PowerWall. The standard “feed the grid" inverter wouldn't accommodate energy storage whereas the hybrid, a new product which US Green went out of their way to get for us, is the exact component required for our future power needs.<br /><br />The downside: Quality isn't cheap. But like some old guy said, “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” – Benjamin Franklin. I'd not hesitate to recommend US Green to anyone considering a solar installation.<br /><br />For the record, I have no interests, compensation or other considerations with US Green other than being a satisfied customer.
