"I have had a few different solar companies come and do an estimate for me and the experiences were not bad. Solar Sesame came in and gave me a FULL breakdown of how it worked and they were so transparent plus the price was way better than my previous quotes. Zack was so thorough and answered all of my questions and really took his time to answer every single question I had. The installation was so seamless and done in a day. The crew was fantastic as well and I’m so happy that I went through with this. The system has been working great and I have not been paying these high PG&E bills ever since. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I have referred my friends and family to Zack and Solar Sesame and they even sent me hundreds of dollars in gift cards for doing so. I couldn’t say enough about them. If you have even been thinking about doing this, do it!!! "

"Saul and Juan arrived on time, determined where the fault lay, advised me on what I can do to save some labor costs by running wire myself. I have worked on some electrical equipment over the years so usually am familiar with what is needed or not needed. These guys didnâ  t try to sell me something I didnâ  t need. Very professional and I would recommend them to others. Thx. Brian Napa County"

"Leo was amazing and especially thoughtful and caring with my elderly mother and her home in regards to solar installation. He was thorough with his explanations. He intelligently and professionally answered all questions. There was no pressure and he was communicative with the family. I would not hesitate to recommend Leo for solar installation if value and integrity are a priority for you."

"I had Soltari install my solar panels and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. I was a little nervous going into it since I didn’t know much about the process, but they made it super easy to understand and handled everything. The team was professional, respectful, and just really easy to work with. They showed up when they said they would and made sure everything was done right. Now that it’s all up and running, I’m honestly so glad I decided to go with them. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking into solar 😊"

Customers say: True professional

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Los Altos, CA

If you experience frequent power outages, want to become more energy independent, or aim to reduce your reliance on the grid, investing in a solar battery system can be worthwhile. With a solar battery, you'll have backup power day or night, even if the local grid fails. However, to power larger appliances or ensure you have energy for longer periods, you'll need to invest in multiple batteries. While the upfront cost is higher, many homeowners find the added peace of mind to be well worth the investment.

Solar battery storage capacity is measured in kilowatt-hours, which directly indicates the amount of energy the battery can store. This measurement determines how long essential appliances will continue operating during an outage. A clear understanding of capacity helps in planning the overall system size to ensure effective backup power and to maintain optimal performance even as the battery ages.

Determining the correct size for your solar battery system requires evaluating your monthly energy usage. Start by reviewing your utility bills to identify your average consumption, and then match the battery’s kilowatt-hour rating to cover essential loads. Consulting with a solar professional ensures that the system is sized to deliver continuous backup power, meeting both immediate and future energy needs.

A solar battery's lifespan ranges from five to 15 years, and its durability is affected by battery quality, charging frequency, and environmental conditions. Regular maintenance and proper usage are key to maximizing longevity. Monitoring your system, following manufacturer guidelines, and scheduling routine inspections all help ensure that your battery performs reliably throughout its service life.
