At SolarSesame, we believe families deserve true financial security. We spent years helping homeowners save thousands with low, fixed-rate mortgages?but when energy bills started skyrocketing, we saw the same burden return. We knew it was time to step in again. After months of research, we found a better way: solar energy. We took the same heart and passion that built our foundation?and created SolarSesame: a company devoted to turning sunshine into savings and restoring true financial freedom for families.

"Great experience, simple transaction. Quality work with the right price and accountability."

"Billy was very professional, easy to talk to, and went above and beyond during his visit. While he was in my attic, he noticed and pointed out roof damage I wasn’t even aware of—something that saved me from a much bigger problem down the road. The Porsche charging equipment wasn’t very user-friendly, but Billy stuck with it, read through the details, and patiently waited until we were able to get the car to start charging properly. He’s genuinely a great guy, and I appreciate that he supports unions as well. Hire Billy — you won’t be disappointed."

I have been in business since 1988 and have stayed small on purpose to keep the quality up to my standards. In the past three years I have focused on solar panel cleaning. I do it with water fed poles and ladders no power washers to void your warranty. I still clean roofs and do commercial work in addition to solar.

Lifestyle Solar is one of Fresno Bee's People Choice Award Winners for 2012,2013, & 2014. We offer the lowest leasing and the lowest price guaranteed on any solar installation. We are a local business based in Fresno, CA that services the central valley and more!

"Would give zero stars if possible! Larry Hoang at first presented himself as an honest, reasonable man and contractor but his actions have proven this very wrong. We have two major roof leaks that will cost us thousands of dollars to fix - caused by deficient solar panel installation. He refuses to repair them, despite three independent reports from other local licensed contractors indicating the roof damage was *directly* caused by the solar panel installation. We am currently filing a formal complaint with the California State Contractors Licensing Board in an effort to get him to respond, as we cannot even get our roof fixed until he agrees to remove the panels. We hired him specifically because we wanted to support local businesses - but we sincerely regret this decision. Buyer BEWARE! This is not an honorable businessman - nor business!"

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in San Francisco, CA

Annual inspections are recommended for residential solar systems, though specific needs vary based on several factors. Newer installations in moderate climates require less frequent professional evaluation, while systems over a decade old or those in harsh environments benefit from more regular attention. Always arrange an inspection following severe weather events that might have damaged components or affected system performance.

Pre-inspection cleaning isn't necessary, as evaluating the current condition of your panels is part of the assessment process. Professional inspectors can effectively examine systems regardless of cleanliness level, as accumulation patterns often provide valuable diagnostic information. However, if panels are completely obscured by heavy debris, bird droppings, or other materials that prevent visual examination of the surface, a basic rinse might be helpful before the scheduled inspection.

A comprehensive solar inspection examines all system components, including panels, wiring, mounting hardware, and inverters. Technicians check for physical damage like cracks or delamination, evaluate electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and assess overall system performance against expected output levels. The inspection may also verify that safety systems are functioning correctly and that the installation complies with applicable codes and standards.

While traditional manual inspections are effective for most residential systems, specialized inspection methods may provide advantages for certain installations. Factors to consider include system size, roof complexity, accessibility challenges, and safety considerations. For multi-story homes or commercial installations where roof access is difficult or potentially hazardous, alternative inspection approaches offer improved documentation and reduced risk, though potentially at a higher cost.
