Alternative Energy Systems delivers on its commitments, and we found zero complaints about the work itself. One customer's electric bill dropped from $400 per month to around $10 after the install, a result that speaks for itself. In 21 separate reviews, customers singled out workmanship quality, and not a single person reported a problem with the installation. We noticed two patterns that set this company apart. First, Victor (the owner) personally walks customers through each step, from estimate to final paperwork, and 14 reviewers mentioned how smoothly the process moved. Second, the crew balances speed with patience. In one case, installation started ahead of schedule, yet the installers still answered every question without making the homeowner feel rushed. One couple ended the day uncorking champagne in front of their smart meter. (That's a first for us.) Systems regularly outperform initial production estimates, and 13 reviewers called out the no-pressure sales approach. The only trade-off: this level of hands-on attention may not scale to next-day quotes or instant answers on a busy week.
If you want an installer who returns calls, hits deadlines, and leaves behind a system that actually performs as promised, Alternative Energy Systems earns our recommendation. You won't get slick marketing or a sprawling sales team, but you will get Victor and a crew who treat your roof like it's their own.
This homeowner met with Scott Huber, the Chico sales rep, and found him attentive and low-pressure—clear in his explanations and focused on the family’s priorities as much as on closing a sale. After shopping several firms, they chose All Solar and Electric and the experience only improved. The crew began work ahead of the predicted start date; roughly half a dozen installers rotated through the job, and the homeowners quickly developed a friendly, easy rapport with each technician. The team balanced working long, productive days with patiently answering the many questions the couple had, demonstrating competence, efficiency and a genuine, trustworthy manner that the owners called the best service experience in the thirty years they’ve lived in their house. The system was energized several weeks earlier than expected, so they paused the paperwork, popped a cork and toasted in front of their smart meter—a concrete, celebratory finish that stuck with them.
This homeowner worked with Vic on a household solar installation and found the process smooth and dependable. Vic followed through on every promise, stayed within the original cost estimate, and recommended installation tweaks that reduced upfront expense. The outcome was dramatic: average household electric bills fell from about $400 a month to roughly $10 a month, a result that has held for the past two years — the clear takeaway is sustained, near-elimination of the monthly electricity charge.
A year ago David had a solar system installed by All Solar Electric, and after working with a string of different contractors in other trades he found it refreshingly customer-focused. Victor, the owner, stayed involved through construction and kept him informed at every step, which made the whole process feel organized and straightforward. The crew delivered solid workmanship, and he recommended the company to several friends who were looking into solar. What stuck with him most was Victor’s hands-on communication—it's the detail that makes him steer others to All Solar Electric.

John chose a modular add-on solar setup for his home, starting with ten 230 W panels and extra mounting rails so he could expand later. He later added eight 240 W panels and ended up with a system he can check online, down to individual panels, at any time. Last year his total electricity bill came to $83, and he expects this year’s bill to be even lower. The standout for him was the combination of easy expandability and per-panel online monitoring. He recommends All Solar for jobs of any size.
This homeowner found Victor and his crew a genuine pleasure to have on their property during the installation and afterward. They appreciated the team's calm, considerate presence while the work was happening and the follow-up attention once the panels were in place, and they ended up very happy with the finished results — what stuck was how comfortable they felt having the crew around even after the job was done.
While shopping for a rooftop system, this homeowner compared two bids and discovered All Solar’s offer was both cheaper and from a local company with years of experience. They went with All Solar, and the install and commissioning proceeded smoothly—the panels were put in and brought online without issues. After installation they called with a few follow-up questions, and Victor handled each one courteously and helpfully. The detail that stuck most: the lower local price paired with attentive, post‑install support from Victor.
This homeowner hired All Solar Electric to install SunPower panels on their roof and ended up very pleased with the whole process. They found the company's customer service responsive and the installation crew professional and tidy. From the moment the system was switched on, they watched the utility meter run backward — a clear, immediate sign the panels were producing more than the house was using. So far the panel performance has been positive, and the standout detail they remember is that meter spinning in reverse right away.
This homeowner contracted All Solar Electric for a residential solar installation and discovered the moment that mattered: their first true-up bill arrived at $0. The installation itself moved quickly and smoothly, with crews that finished efficiently and staff who made the process easy to navigate. What started as an investment in rooftop panels turned into immediate, measurable payoff when that zero-dollar true-up confirmed the system was performing as expected.
Karate first hired the company to put solar panels on their house, and the workmanship, product and price impressed them enough that they brought the same crew back to install panels on their business. They found the installation quality, the panels themselves and the overall value delivered on what was promised. The most memorable detail: a single good residential job turned into a second commercial installation—a clear sign they trusted the company enough to use them twice.
