HISTORY


Established in 2016.
Family First Solar Electric was founded in 2010. Family First started out strictly installing Solar systems for big Solar company’s in California as a subcontractor. After learning the business of Solar, Family First decided to independently work directly with the homeowner to educate them and give them a more affordable system for their investment. We came across a lot of homeowners that were cheated out and taken advantage of, so we started the business to help families understand how Solar can be a very good investment to make and save money!

From the beginning to the end of the project the entire team was friendly and professional . On my first call they had a satellite image of my house roof with a design of the panels! Anthony sent it over while we spoke and estimated the total price - I went with a 6.4 kw system - the price was great - I really did not have to do anything - even my HOA took the approval that was generated by the city. Then there is the install crew - coordinated by a man named Michael - he was great - the crew was awesome and they did not leave one piece of trash. Next came the city inspection with an approval of SDGE. Then a final review by a lady named Mariel. after I received an app where I see all the electricity I'm generating - it's a lot more than I use! I don't rent this system I own it! I made a point to write a review because I read the reviews before I called Anthony - I told him this - and he said to me - so it finally worked - lol -  Thank you family first Solar.

I needed to move some panels from one roof to another for a construction project for an addition, and Family First gave me the best price and did the job very quickly. The company that installed my panels went out of business, but Family First knew how to work with them and the system is working perfectly now that they made a few changes. I have space for additional panels and would benefit from adding a few more, so I look forward to working with FF in the future. They were great to work with, professional and friendly.

I worked directly with Anthony for a 5.76k system. He was always available to answer questions, they were professional, great job, and competitive pricing. I highly recommend them.

I got a number of quotes and decided on Family First Solar as the company to go with. I made the right choice. Every person I interacted with was professional and pleasant. They never left a mess and kept me informed.

The time from contract signed to having the city approve the installation and SDG&E approval for system turn-on was less than 4 weeks and that included some minor roof repair they did for me.  

I'd highly recommend them and would use them again.

This company was sub contracted by Andler Building Co. to install solar and electric upgrades to my home.
The crew was extremely professional at all times and were always willing to answer any random questions I would have. Their attention to detail was outstanding as their customer service. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and will use for future house projects.

This was a big purchase for us and we seriously did our homework, and hands down Family First Solar Electric was the right decision. The work was done with care and precision. The advice given was helpful and not pushy and the work came out beautifully and all of the panels are pumping out power from our roof (we can tell as they hooked us up with an app that does all kinds of neat stuff) do yourself a favor and go local and customer service oriented go Family First Solar Electric

These guys were great!  They installed my solar panels and upgraded my main electric panel that has a very complicated relationship with a backup generator.  Anthony was truly professional and his expertise in his trade is a remarkable A+++.  The crew worked hard in heat, wind and rain to get the job done in time and took care of all the government inspections and SDGE coordination.  I was very impressed with their attention to details and maintaining a clean safe work area.  They left the place cleaner than they found it.  Their pricing was very competitive.  Even against the big boys like Tesla. I highly recommend these guys for solar and any electric work around the house.  These guys are real pros and are the real deal!!!    Thanks Anthony.  Keep up the great work!

If you need any solar or electrical work done, Family First Solar Electric is the ONLY way to go.

We added lighting in our home as well as a new panel and these guys did a fantastic job. They are very affordable and their work is high quality. They responded very quickly to our questions. Anthony was also very patient with us because we asked him to do the job in 2 parts so we can paint and such before they put all the canned lighting, plates, etc. And that was great for us because we did not have to tape everything after the job was done, saved us a lot of time and we really appreciated that.
I dare you to call them and I guarantee, you will not regret it. Great price, work, communication, clean, finish the work on time and most of all quality!

FYI- my brother also got solar panels done from Family First and was extremely happy with the work they did!

2 very happy customers right here!! We will call Family First for all our electrical needs. We absolutely recommend them!!

Anthony is a life saver! He helped diagnose and replace a faulty inverter about a year ago for me at a very affordable price. Since then, we have kept in-touch and he has come-out to troubleshoot  a few other issues we have had.  Just last week, he stopped by to help troubleshoot what was causing our solar panel breakers to turn off.  He quickly found he problem and the panels are working great now!!  Anthony and his team are professionals in their trade and most importantly, they put their customers needs first by providing them what they need at the best possible price.  If you need your panels serviced or are considering  an install, please give these guys a call.  You'll be glad you did!

Family First Solars really made the decision on getting solars on our new home so easy. Anthony was very trust worthy and made us feel comfortable when purchasing solars. We didn't know much about them in the beginning, however he explained so thoroughly what they were and how much we would benefit from them. Taking into consideration we have a swimming pool and kids, it was one of the best decisions we have made thus far with our new home. To top everything off any questions we come across Anthony still is there even after the sale! I highly recommend this company.

I found Family First through HomeAdvisor and could not have and picked a better crew!  We purchased a house in the area that had a wiring/electrical nightmare that I wasn't aware of.  Anthony to the rescue!!  The guys spent time and care in rectifying the problems without gouging us in the wallet.  They were fair and professional and went absolutely above and beyond what I could have hoped for.  They problem solved without cutting corners, were on time every time, cleaned up after themselves, were always careful to close doors and gates so our dogs would not get out, and were easy to have in our house.  They will be my go to company and I will recommend them to anyone who asks for a great electrician.

Anthony is very knowledgeable and trustworthy not only did he show me how to check and see if our solar is running in producing he even set us up with an app to monitor it. This is the best experience I have ever had with any solar company. I am sad that i am not able to give them more stars as they do deserve it

Fantastic work and fantastic professionalism.  They were the best price quote I had received and when above and beyond my expectations. I had Family First replace my main electrical box from a 60 amp to a 200 amp.  Not only did they replace the box flawlessly, they handled all the city permits and other details perfectly.  Without me even asking, they CAME BACK that week and touched up the paint that was scuffed up from removing the old box and tubes and wires.  Since all the work was on the outside, I didn't even know they were there for almost a week, because they CAME BACK AGAIN, to patch over the walkway they ran the grounding wire past, and painted it to match also!  I thought I had house elves for awhile, until they were spotted on the last day doing work. Highly recommended!

Family First installed my solar panels over a year ago and couldn't be happier. They quoted me the best price for the solar panel system I wanted and  final price was exactly what they quoted. I have a 3 story home with a very challenging roofline. Anthony came up with a plan that would maximize solar production with the least amount of panels. The crew was friendly and professional and quality of work was top notch. They have great attention to detail and even color matched the electrical conduit to my walls and roof. If you are looking for solar or electrical work don't hesitate to give Anthony and his team a call.

Is 6 stars possible? Anthony is a true professional, not only is he extremely communicative but also very knowledgeable.  Very reasonably priced, friendly and professional crew. I had my electrical panel upgraded and electrical outlets installed for my microwave and washer and dryer. Everything works GREAT and all work done was completed so efficiently. We are SUPER SATISFIED!!! We will definitely use Family First Electric for future needs. Thanks for the great service.

Family First solar came all the way to Temecula to replace an Inverter on a system that is not their's.  But they were willing to help us out anyway. Gave me a date and time and showed up on time. Juan and Miguel were friendly, professional and fully explained the process.  They completed to job thoroughly. I highly recommend them to any friend or family in need of solar work. Thanks to Maria and Anthony for the excellent customer service and communication.

If you are looking into solar, definitely check out Family First Solar Electric!

We just got our 16 panel system installed by Family First Solar Electric and everything went very smooth. Anthony met us and did a great job setting us up with the right system that we needed. Any questions we had, Anthony promptly answered them right away and always seemed so happy to help which was great. We checked with multiple solar companies and Family First Solar Electric had the best price as well as the fastest install time for the LG panels we wanted. Definitely recommend going with Family First Solar Electric.

Anthony and his assistant Saul are the Best and the Brightest Electricians I have ever had the pleasure of contracting with.  Recently my main circuit panel's circuit breakers were tripping every hour or so due to the multiple demands increased by our hot summer.  Anthony came out and quickly diagrosed an affordable solution to our problems.  Now - NO more circuit breaker problems, everyone in our two story home now have their own circuit breaker independent of others.  Extremely reasonable costs as with previous jobs, e.g., recessed ceiling lights; outdoor security solar lighting; interior electrical circuit problems. These young businessmen not only know their trade, they are hardworking family men, very polite, work fast, and most important have earned my complete trust and have my highest recommendation.  

Sincerely,
