Customer Reviews

Brett Buchanan

We met with multiple solar companies and settled on Highlight due to both the great recommendations as well as our experience during the initial process. We asked a LOT of questions, then we asked more, and then some more. Ali remained patient and communicated thoroughly via email or phone, and at all hours. The installation process was honestly better than the sales process. The combination of Chris (the foreman who found a solution for all our requests) and his team which worked in awful weather to get our project installed on schedule were amazing. Our inspection, and final handoff were handled by Samir, who answered even more questions, and made sure we were fully set up. From end to end we had a great experience with Highlight Solar and will recommend them as they were to us. Pro tips: If you get a battery you will need to store it until it is installed. Your solar data might not show up on the app for 24-48 hours after installation…don’t panic, it will show up eventually and you will see the money you are not spending with PG&E.

I took meetings from a handful of solar contractors, big and small. Highlight solar impressed me in their willingness and ability to discuss construction details, integration with the roofing contractor, and permitting. The system was installed as promised and works according to projections. Several things went as needed. 1. Highlight installed mounts in coordination with roofing contractor 2. Provided the panels as quoted. 3. Installed the system and worked with the details of mounting equipment seamlessly with the garage interior. 4. Applied for and closed out permitting

I have done 3 solar projects for 2 homes with Highlight Solar. I have worked with Dean, Sam, and Ali. The last job was a large solar installation with battery backup. They did a great job, and I am extremely happy. They continue to be available to answer and help with any questions I have such as getting access to the apps to monitor and control my solar/battery system. I have heard of so many people who use Tesla or other solar providers only to have poor customer service and not know how to connect to their systems. My comment to them is always that they should have used Highlight Solar!
