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.
