If you are considering Solar, try Mid-State first. Aaron is great to deal with. The prices are reasonable and they stand behind their work. We have had solar electric panels put on two houses and pool heating on one. Plus I love chatting with Mary at the office. Clearly a 5 Star organization.

Aaron at Midstate Solar listened to our needs, planned and executed the perfect system for us. He and his crew did the installation seamlessly, working with the city on permits and inspections so that we had no difficulties. Aaron goes the second mile graciously. He even referred us to a great panel cleaning company. We are delighted to watch our electric meter run backward.

Thank you so much to the team. To the women inside the Solar company that gave me the letter right on the spot, that saved me the time to wait 3 more days. She was the best service I got, professional, speedy and caring.

Gary Baptist on Mid-State Solar

I am so happy I used Mid-State Solar. I was told from another company, one I used and trusted for over 15 years, that I needed a new solar pool system. I called Mary and she gave me a quote for a new system. Before we made the decision to replace the system, her crew came out the see the old system. They fixed the leaks in my solar panels, so I didn't need a new system after all! Thanks so much! Would definitely recommend their company.

We started doing business with Mid-State Solar about 19 years ago when we had them install our solar swimming pool heating panels. Over the years, for any service needed, I would simply call Mary and she would ensure the service was done quickly.

So when we decided to get solar panels to produce electricity for our home, I spent about 6 months educating myself on different systems. I researched and got quotes from not only Mid-States Solar but other Solar companies in California. Aaron from Mid-States Solar put together the estimate for me based on the roof, trees, shade evaluation and where the sun comes across our home. I realized then that it was a huge difference to have a local company, that came to the house to see what they had to work with and who know the local policies with the City and our electricity provider (Modesto Irrigation District) verses a company reviewing a satellite view of our home on their computer. The other companies gave me bad information regarding local policies and told me I had to upgrade my electrical panels and trench to the street to upgrade the connection with our power company. Once Aaron looked at our panel and designed our system, there was no need to upgrade the panel or trench, saving us over $10,000.

Our installation crew was run by Nick. They did an awesome job on the roof and found the least intrusive way to run the power to our panel through our attics. At the same time, they moved our pool heating panels to another part of the roof and replumbed the panels. Dan the electrician did a great job and was very professional.

The price was better than the other quotes I had received, and we got a great low interest loan with the opportunity to re-amortize once we get our 26% solar credit.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the system and the entire team from Mid-States Solar. One of my favorite parts of the day is when I go outside and watch my meter run backwards!

Signed – A happy retiree!
