Best Battery Bank Services in San Jose CA
Had them in to inspect some wiring during an appliance installation in my kitchen.
They don't install appliances, but they did a great job on the wiring.
Technician was on site right at the start of the time window they gave.
Tech was clean efficient and friendly. Work was done amazingly fast.
The price was rock bottom and worth every penny.

Francisco sent his crew back to retest the system, found out that the micro inverters were the issue. Since they are still under warranty the manufacturer will replace all 24 micro inverters for me. It will take 2-4 weeks for them to ship. But for now I have 3 new inverters working that Francisco was kind enough to let me use it while waiting for the replacement.

Amazing!! I'm guilty of not adding many reviews although I use them all the time and am I grateful that I do. The reviews allowed me to find Gustavo. Our hallway lights have been out of commission for over two months and although we've had quotes, electricians have been totally undependable. I was nearing desperation and then submitted for a quote on Yelp. Not only did Gustavo respond right away, he came over same day to do a quote. You could feel the sincerity from him immediately. He gave us great advice and was super reasonable! He came over today to fix the lights and replaced them with new fixtures that I love. I highly recommend him and my home needs a ton of upgrades that I will definitely call upon Gustavo for. Thank you for everything Gustavo! You literally light up my day.

Seems I am the first one writing reviews for Mega Power. They actually had more reviews for the LA branch. I read those reviews and I can tell that Gary really cares about his reputation.
OK, my story. I was thinking of installing solar in early 2022, after learning NEM 3.0 in California would be delayed indefinitely. I started my journey with energysage.com, and got quotes from 6 local installers, including Mega Power Electric Inc. I've also reached out to SunPower, and left my contact at Sunrun in Costco. I finally decided to work with Mega Power for these reasons: 1. many positive reviews; 2. their price is very competitive; 3. I work directly with the owner German (Gary), who actually does the job. No sales; no project managers. While those sales people are nice and professional, the process is just as as efficient as talking directly with Gary. Mega Power does everything very fast. Gary came to our house and took some pictures; went back and shared his initial plan; we wanted two additional panels; Gary revised the plan (within 24 hours). One or two weeks later, Gary and his people were on my roof. Installation of 24 panels was done within one day. City inspector initially had questions about the ground wire. Gary and his team came back another time, and finished #4 ground wire upgrade within a couple of hours. Passed city inspection. Getting approvals from PG&E (final step) was a long story. Gary and Mega Power did whatever they could to help and I appreciate that. Overall experience with Mega Power was quite positive. Definitely recommend Mega Power for their efficiency, work quality, and communication. Additional data points I would like to share: while Gary and his team worked on installation, I was busy filing complaints with another company for their no show activity in the very first scheduled meeting. Oh, my wife and I already recommended Mega Power to another lady. I probably should collect some referral fee from Gary.

B Henry is the best. I got an itemized quote for a panel upgrade and car charger install. And I got an itemized bill after the work was completed (it's hard to find a contractor who does that). The pricing was competitive. B Henry's employees we respectful and their work exceeded my expectations. I wish I had called B Henry 2 years ago when we had our solar installed.

If you decide to work with this company be sure to get everything IN WRITING. When I initially contacted them I explained the project that I was interested in doing. I have a solar PV array to which I recently added a Tesla Powerwall; I wanted to add 3 to 4 additional solar panels because I had noticed that I had less energy independence than I wanted during the winter months. I wanted to be able to tie the new panels into the Powerwall configuration and was told that this should not be a problem because they often do this; they asked for a picture of my main breaker box and the response I got to that email was that this was perfect. They said that no permit was required because I was already permitted for solar panels. They provided a figure for the project and I decided to go forward with them, making a deposit to seal the deal.
A few days later I realized that nowhere in written documentation was there an indication that the new panels would be attached to the Powerwall (there was no contract, just a series of emails). I called and asked that this stipulation with respect to the Powerwall be put in writing, at which point I was told that not only was that never mentioned as a possibility previously, it was not something that would have been mentioned, which was not true. I reminded the representative of our conversation, at which point he admitted that he had said something about this, but tried to characterize it differently, as more of a potential option than something that they could do, and he began raising objections as to why it could not be done, trying to convince me that something else would work just as well, but it actually would not have been all that close. He then raised technical objections, claiming that they would need an additional part from Tesla, a part that they could not get from Tesla (despite being, supposedly, certified a Powerwall installer).
They were unwilling to reach out to any contacts that they might have with Tesla, so I reached out to Tesla myself to resolve the issue. After many hours on the phone and exchanging many emails with Tesla, I was able to find a way to resolve the problem without requiring additional parts; Tesla also wanted to see the plans for the additional panel installation, to ensure that there would be no problems with the Powerwall. I relayed this information to Infinium, assuming that this would clear the way for the project to go forward, and asked that a contract be drawn up to specify exactly what was to be done in the project, including tying the new panels into the Powerwall. Instead of moving forward with the project, Infinium indicated that in order to draw up plans, which I had assumed were already part of the package, and draw up a contract, there would be additional cost, and that they would now have to get a permit (which I had been previously told was not required); this caused the cost of the project to skyrocket by more more than 1/3 of the original quote provided. Of course, this made them more expensive than other providers that I had previously decided against as a result of the low estimate provided by Infinium.
Another provider, whom I am now likely to go with for my project, informed me that a permit is always required when adding new solar panels, so apparently Infinium was not being honest right from the start when they told me that no permit was required for this project. The more accurate statement would probably have been that with a project so small as this, it would be likely that they would be able to get away with not getting a permit. I am not one to be a stickler for always doing everything by the book, but I do value honesty and if I am going to be held responsible for something that is not entirely kosher, I want to be able to make that decision with full knowledge. And I believe that they should have made it clear what was going on so that I could do an apples to apples comparison with other potential providers.
Infinium was not honest with me with respect to what was legally required for this project, i.e. that a permit was required, nor were they honest with me with respect to what they were able to do, i.e. that they had no experience with how to tie the new panels into my Powerwall. They also showed very little initiative in trying to determine what was necessary to provide me with the configuration that I asked them to provide, and that they said they could provide; as a result of my initiative, not theirs, they are now able to provide other customers in a situation similar to mine with a service that they would not otherwise have been able to provide.
I probably could have pushed them to complete the project at the original stated price, with plans and permits, because it would have been illegal for them to provide a quote based on doing something that is illegal, but by this time I had no confidence in their ability to do a good job, so I elected to go with a different provider.
