Sun Diego Solar installed my solar over a year ago. We have thoroughly enjoyed having little to no electricity bill. It has been so nice not to worry about what our bill is going to cost next month. They use only American made products that are reliable and trustworthy. If you are thinking about getting solar I highly recommend going to Sun Diego Solar.

I was referred to Rick and Sun Diego Solar by a friend. I did my due diligence and received other quotes. Even though Rick gave the best price of all the quotes, I was still considering other systems. In the end, it came down to the personal referral and the fact that Rick was always available to answer any questions and chat about solar. I felt that if anything were to go wrong in the future, he'd be available to help out. With the bigger companies, I didn't want to deal with the admin offices and having to schedule any appointments.
