Featured Reviews for Solar Panel Installers in Oakland, CA

Illuminate Solar Company
Solar Panel Installers in Oakland, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 January 2020
“We used Illuminate Solar to install a decent sized (11.5kW) system. Mark and his team were great, and I would recommend them without hesitation. They were honest, timely, and clean. We bid out to 6 different installers and they were tied for the lowest cost. Unlike Tesla who has set panels they use in set increments (4, 8, or 12 kw systems and only 320w panels), Illuminate worked with us to get exact right size system and panels to maximize our roof area and needs. They also worked to get the installation done quickly to qualify for tax deduction. Highly recommend.”

Solar panels generate electricity by absorbing sunlight with photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are made of semiconductor materials that produce an electric current when exposed to sunlight. The electricity produced is in the form of a direct current (DC), which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter. The AC energy can power every device in your home.

Why should I hire solar panel installers?


A solar panel installation contractor will be able to install home solar panels that will produce energy to power either your electricity (solar PV) or your hot water (solar water heating system). After the installation costs, you won’t need to pay for the energy you use as you are, in effect, producing it yourself. And even better, if you produce more energy than you need and feed it back to the national grid, then you could receive money from the government’s Feed-In Tariffs (FITs). What’s more, solar energy is a renewable energy that will last longer and be more environmentally friendly than traditional energies such as coal, oil and gas. All the more reason to talk to Oakland, CA solar panel companies and hire Oakland, CA solar panel installers to fit them for you.

What types of solar panels are available?


There are three main types of solar panel PV (photovoltaic) panels that can generate electricity for your home: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hybrid. The basic monocrystalline celled panels are fairly efficient but will be more expensive than polycrystalline, which are a little cheaper. Hybrid panels use crystalline cells with a thin layer of film which attracts more energy. This makes hybrid models the most efficient solar panel installations, but also the most expensive. To talk about which panels are best for your home and how much energy solar panels produce, contact Oakland, CA solar panel companies and installers on Houzz.
