Steve Schultz

OMG!! this is the kind of person you want doing your solar! Brandon is the kind of business person you want to deal with! NO BS, a straight shooter on what would work best in your situation. And his team made sure all things done electrically prior to me owning this home were to code, they had to fix a few things that I had no idea were wrong, at NO CHARGE!! And Ian was fantastic on getting the job done smoothly! Brandon never ever asked for any money until after we got the 'all clear' to turn on from SDGE. NO ONE DOES THAT!!

Martin Lynch

Sun Vantage installed solar panels and battery on our house. Brandon was knowledgeable about the equipment, options, rebates, installation and instructions of use. His team communicated well with scheduling and project updates. Letting us know status of deliveries, inspections etc. After the installation Brandon follows up to answer any questions about the system. He would also be the contact for any additional panels, upgrades or for any issues.

SunVantage and Brandon are super easy to work with. Knowledgeable, friendly, patient and got the job done on time. Nice to have someone you can count on and works with you through all the details. Not to mention at a fair price and really clean installation with no issues. Did the permits and passed first inspection. Would hire again!

Milo Jensen

SunVantage and Brandon Thurman gave us the best premier service installing our system. His company went far beyond required. Our concrete tile roof was very fragile to work on but Brandon repaired and replaced any broken tiles. His crew was courteous and kept us informed at every step of the process. Regrets?, We have absolutely none. Thank you SunVantage. There is a reason why your company is the top installer in our community because yours is the best!

Nancy Garcia

Brandon, the owner of Sunvantage, is exceptionally knowledgeable about everything pertaining to solar. From panel types to batteries, he is forthcoming with solar information. We trust him completely and his crew did an excellent job. His rates are reasonable and he offers financing. We got our own loan, but his rates were pretty good. Sunvantage put 36 panels on our roof in a few days and Brandon monitored our performance to make sure everything worked as he expected. Our neighbors have complimented our panels appearance and the fact that they don't produce a glare. Of all the contractors we have hired, and it has been over 20 as we north of 60, Brandon has been the most professional and competent.
