California Solar Electric

The Santa Barbara Center of Art, Science and Technology (SBCAST) appreciates these folks. California Solar Electric has been responsive regarding the photovoltaic system they designed and installed 10 years ago. As with any complex system, there are issues that crop up - and it’s been heartening to experience California Solar Electric’s core values of readiness for support of their historical work.

Chris and her staff really came through for me during a difficult time in my life. We needed to add a house battery to our solar system because of frequent loss of power on the Ventura Hills and a growing need for medical equipment for my now-deceased husband. We may not have made the deadline for him, but Chris and her staff were empathetic and wonderful from start to finish.

We installed solar panels several years ago and decided to add a bunch more to try to save the planet! Amazing professionalism and service. I did my research beforehand and this is the best company with the best panels available! Roger is a knowledgable and conscientious salesman with whom it is a pleasure to do business with! I have friends and family that have used them all with the same results.

Chris, Naruki and their whole team are great to work with. They are prompt, professional, and dedicated. The best part is that they offer the best equipment on the market. You'd be surprised at what kind of low quality inverters and panels several other companies are pushing at basically the same price. Take my advice, contact California Solar and Electric first, then compare them against any (or all) of the other solar installation companies out there. Be sure to compare the power capacity of the micro-inverters (make sure you get micro-inverters), and the "degradation in production over time" of the panels. You'll see a wide spectrum of quality out there, with CS&E's equipment at the top of the bunch.

CA Solar Electric is a pleasure to do business with. Our salesman, Roger House always did what he said and was totally professional. The installation crew were knowledgeable, courteous and left the job as clean as they found it. The county inspector commented "they're the best" when I asked if the job passed inspection.
