All around BEST experience!
Vital Energy installed Solar and Enphase back up batteries for us. They were prompt, efficient, professional and the WHOLE STAFF is knowledgable about solar and back up power. They listened to our needs and gave us a system that serves us well, and will pay for itself in a few years. They made GOING SOLAR easy and affordable. They also got us the best equipment and warranties available! We Highly recommend Vital.

2 Solar projects
I want to highly recommend Vital Energy. I have two houses, one is a rental and the other is my residence.Vital Energy is a family owned, local business. The crew is made up of guys who have been installing solar for many years. Jay the owner is whom I dealt with. He has been doing solar for over 30 years. I was impressed with his knowledge. He is a certified electrician which made me feel much more comfortable. He did not try to oversell me, he was honest about what we needed. Not something I found with the other companies. He really understands this business because of his years of experience, unlike the young guys whom the others sent out. I was most concerned about to quality of the installation. This will be on my roof for several decades and I don't want sub workmanship. The company was fast, efficient and quality. The price was competitive. I can not tell you how happy I am that I hired Vital Energy after hearing some of the horror stories from my friends when they dealt with some of the bigger companies.

I cannot tell you how happy I am with my solar system and with the way it was done and how I continue to get help and support along the way!

Vital Energy Solar is Top Notch!
We selected Vital Energy Solar to install our solar panels based upon a positive referral from a neighbor. She had shopped around and concluded Jason Jackson, owner of Vital Energy Solar, was the most qualified. We can affirm this is the case. Jason has a lot of experience in the field, is very personable, and has been very responsive to questions and concerns. He was able to schedule the install quickly and the crew completed the install in one day.<br /><br />We are confident in recommending Vital Energy Solar to anyone thinking of installing solar panels!<br /><br />Nick Chase<br />Windsor

Hassle Free Experience
This company is tops; they were a referral to me by my son who has one of their systems, as does the place he works at which researched them very carefully. I had interviewed 3 national companies, but this firm beat all their prices, gives me the longest warranties, does continuous monitoring to anticipate any problems and the entire process has been an outstanding experience; great communication every step of the way; timely, efficient, hassle free and most of all very price competitive.

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend Jason Jackson and the entire team at VitalEnergy to anyone interested in installing solar panels on their home. From explaining the basics of solar through the steps for installation and connection, Jason not only took the time to discuss everything with me, but often gave me additional tips and tricks of the trade. There never was any pressure to make a decision before I was ready, and they handled all the details and coordination. Their bid was highly competitive, and they happily worked with me to make adjustments to the proposed size of my system and fully answered all questions I had about the quote. From when I first contacted them to when PG&E hooked up my system, I went from no solar to an operating system in about a month. I'm looking forward to the sunny season when my system will fully kick into gear!

Vital Energy Solar
My husband and I have had an excellent experience with Vital Energy Solar. Jay the owner is very knowledgeable, upfront and honest. He explained different solar products and chose one based on our current needs. The crew was in and out in a day, the exposed conduit was painted to match our house and roofing. The panels are very sleek looking and efficient. Jay is always available for questions thru email or text/phone and quick to respond. We are very happy with our choice in solar contractors. We wanted to stay local and glad we did. You will not be disappointed if you choose Vital Solar Energy.

Solar Energy
Vital Energy Solar was excellent to work with, I did my homework on Solar and they have the best price, excellent solar products with the best warranties and a more powerful system than the competitors. All USA products, Enphase inverters made right here in Petaluma. I was really impressed from the first contact to the final PGE approval. Jay the owner is on site, goes over every step with you, inspects all the work completed by his crew, follows up with you, and available to take phone calls, texts and answer any questions. I highly recommend them for solar installation! From the start of the quote to installation and PGE approval one month, now that is impressive!

Great installation experience
We had a solar installation done by Jason (Jay) Jackson of Vital Energy Solutions. This was to be a system with 9.9kW of solar panels and a 7.6kW inverter. Jay and his crew came out and did the entire job in a single day, all work was neat and professional. Jay worked with me to arrive at a good design that didn't overfill my roof and was at a good price. I got four bids, Jay's was significantly below the other bids, and he was by far the easiest to work with in terms of discussing alternatives and arriving at a really short payback time.<br /><br />Unfortunately, PG&E then informed us that their transformer serving our home was only rated at 5kVA and they would not give "Permission To Operate", so we couldn't connect the system up. After much effort on Jays part, PG&E finally agreed that if we downsized the inverter to 5kW, then we could get permission to operate. Jay arranged for the new inverter and obtained a low-cost building permit to document the change for PG&E. <br /><br />The change in inverter was completed on a Wednesday, and one week later we had Permission To Operate and were producing power, no thanks to PG&E who were very difficult to work with during the time leading up to this. .
