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."

We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"For me, here is what set apart American Renewable Energy (ARE) from other companies. Working in a consulting and service industry, I am aware of what is genuine customer service and what it is not. When I started learning about a whole-house energy system with solar panels, battery backup and a generator, I did not know the right questions to ask so I could make informed decisions. The ARE representative anticipated my needs and helped me to understand the big picture. After I provided a sample of my PG&E bills, I was given a computer-generated cost/benefit analysis with diagrams. The rep explained when it would be beneficial to purchase a solar, battery, and generator system. There was no pressure to immediately buy anything. This has enabled my wife and I to now understand just what we need to buy. American Renewable Energy has installed our whole-house Kohler generator and we look forward to getting installed our solar and battery backup."

"Aire Systems of Campbell and Saratoga truly sets the standard for exceptional service in the HVAC industry. Alton, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure I understood every aspect of the process, from selecting the right system for my small home to navigating available rebate programs. His expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction stood out as he guided me through the rebates step by step, emphasizing how beneficial they are despite the effort required. What really impressed me was Alton’s commitment to follow through—he’s not just selling systems, he’s supporting his customers well beyond installation. Daniel, the team lead installer, was equally remarkable. Always punctual and professional, he demonstrated a level of care that extended beyond the job itself. He kept me informed daily, explaining what was being done, what to expect next, and how long it would take. Knowing I had to leave for work, Daniel kindly spent time with my dogs, making sure they felt at ease while he worked. It’s rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with such personal care. Aire Systems, with Alton and Daniel at the helm, earns my highest recommendation!"

Albert Nahman Services was founded in 1981 and has been serving Berkeley, CA and it surrounding areas in all their plumbing and HVAC needs. Each of our technicians went through rigorous training so we can guarantee that you will be receiving the proper service. We are also insured and supply a warranty for our parts for five years and up to twenty years on an re-piping or sewer replacement. Call us now to make your appointment!

"The plumbing technicians came out as promised to assess the leak. They were both very courteous and kind and assessed the damage. I am giving three stars because they estimated the cost to be almost 250% higher than what the actual cost was to fix the issue. I am sure there are customers out there that would just accept any bid however, please get multiple beds for these projects, especially when working with this company as they will inflate the cost to take advantage of the situation. I ended up only paying for the $79 estimate."

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in San Jose, 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.
