Customer Reviews
Jonathan Jansen
This is long overdue, but Solar Now is one of the best companies operating in area. Brandon, Ashley and the team are professional and straightforward. They are upfront, communicate well and deliver on expectations. I would not hesitate to call them again.
Cristina Mullally
Brandon, Ashley and the install crew were super professional, responsive, helpful, patient, and offered excellent, thoughtful designs and installation. They carefully designed a 7.6kW system to meet our current and future needs, including an onsite assessment, and worked responsively with us through several size and price scenarios. Brandon even suggested an A/C minisplit (heat pump) installation that has significantly enhanced our comfort. Solar Now's quotes for multiple solar arrays (12, 600 kWh 1st yr production) and an energy storage system (10 kWh batteries) were significantly less than other companies from the Palm Springs area even with the tailored solution while including higher efficiency/longer warranty equipment. They dealt directly with the city to pull building permits and, being local, were able to quickly respond to installation requirements and homeowner questions/concerns. I would absolutely use them again!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Solar Now hybrid mini split draw power?
It prioritizes power from its dedicated solar panels during daylight and automatically supplements with utility power when solar production is insufficient. Batteries are not required.
Does a grid-tied battery provide backup during an outage?
No. Grid-tied batteries are designed for bill reduction rather than outage power and shut down when the grid fails. Dedicated backup systems can support critical loads, partial-home or whole-home backup, depending on system size and design.
What does Solar Now provide after a solar inspection?
A detailed written report with photos and system observations, along with explanations of findings. If issues are identified, the company provides recommendations.
Are new off-grid installations available for larger homes?
Solar Now limits new off-grid installations to homes 800 sq ft or less. For larger homes, it discusses hybrid, partial off-grid or grid-tied systems with battery backup when utility service is available.
How often can Solar Now’s maintenance plans be scheduled?
Plan options include annual checkups or more frequent service.
