Kingdom Solar

We eventually went with another vendor that came through on a referral, but wanted to highlight Chris and the Solar Kingdom team's professionalism and willingness to answer our many questions. If it weren't for the referral, we would have moved forward as we were confident in the quality of the work and value offered!

Chris was absolutely fantastic. He came in at my budget, while other were over from by thousands. He even had one of his crew members come before any signed contract to check out the roof and meter.

Going into solar I knew exactly the system I wanted, while other's were giving me different panels to try to make the budget. Chris, came in on budget with the equipment I wanted. There were no games, no sales tactics, and no pushiness. He is all technical and knows this industry. Additionally, his whole crew is knowledgeable, technical, and know how to interact with a customer (no third party crew). They really take care of your install.

On to the install, I signed the contract with Chris on March 28th, Kingdom Solar came on March 31st and April 1st to do the job. They were completely finished by mid day on April 1st. I had my system running since then, and the only other formalities were left was the city approval and pge connection.

The city official came out and approved it a week later and then Chris's team put the pge approval. Now I am just waiting on PGE to start my NEM2 connection, they are slow but once it's connected ~ no more electricity bill!

I recommend Chris and his team for your solar project any time and any day!

PRO:
- seamless transaction
- don't need to worry about anything
- Super technical and amazing folks
- Payment is easy and Kingdom takes care of connection with PGE and any other fee

CON:
you are still paying your utility company for electricity - call Kingdom NOW!

Chris was very accessible for initial questions, developing a plan that co-ordinated replacing old solar system a new one during our roofing project. He predicted effectiveness of the array—I’m paying $0 or negative PG&E electricity bill. Quality of work was excellent.

We decided to get a 10+kW solar system with a battery backup installed at our residence in Moraga in order to offset some of our PG&E bill as well as have a clean backup option to continue to work when PG&E decides to shutoff the power.

I don't think you will be disappointed with Kingdom Solar.

We got quotes from a few installers. The quotes were all inline with one another. What made Kingdom Solar stand out for me was their customer obsession and responsiveness. Chris, the owner, answered all my questions related to the system and went above and beyond as I worked through the process to evaluate options for some complicated electrical work that I was exploring in parallel.

I was similarly happy with the crew that showed up to do the actual install. Andy, Chris2 and their associates were equally customer obsessed, thoughtful and detail oriented when evaluating options for all the smaller decisions that pop up as things start coming together.

They took the extra time to run the conduit through my attic to make the install look tight and did a great job with the layout of the panels and the associated electrical components in the garage. Everything was logical and tight. They didn't rush. They worked quickly but made sure things were done right.

Most importantly, they were careful to not destroy our lightweight concrete tile roof throughout the installation which is hard not to do. Any tiles that were damaged were replaced with matching tile they sourced from a distributor in San Jose and the panels look great. They respected the property and made sure I was in the loop with what their intentions were as they worked through the install.

At the end of the install Chris informed me that he had options through Generac to guide us through the SGIP process to recoup some of the costs of our battery. This was great news to an already happy customer.

I recommend Kingdom Solar if you are thinking about adding a solar system to your residence. They will get it done and you will be happy.

Chris was very professional and the quote he gave us was more than fair and beat out the other 4 contractors that I had received quotes on. He and his workers Jason and John did a great job of installing our solar panels. I would highly recommend him and his team to others looking for a solar solution at a great cost.

I also had 2 LG batteries installed and Chris and his team handled the permits, drawings and did the external wall modifications to the frame to make sure the external wall could handle the added weight of the batteries. Inspection past on first attempt and my house can now run off stored energy at night that I get from my solar panels during the day time.
