Cervus Solar & Construction reviews

In 2023 H. hired the company to install solar panels on their home. They worked directly with Peter and Art and found the pair informative, thorough and reliable from the initial consultation through the installation. The clear communication and consistent follow-through left H. confident in the outcome, and they wouldn’t hesitate to call the same team for a different project.

Louis chose Cervus Solar & Construction after his brother recommended them and after shopping around with multiple companies. From the first meeting through final hookup, Peter handled the whole installation—coordinating with the electric company, working with inspectors, and staying on top of every step—so Louis always had someone available to answer questions. A year after the install he has had no problems with the system, and his electric bill is now almost non-existent. What stuck with him was the hands-on project management that turned a potentially complex process into a smooth, trouble-free switch to solar; he continues to refer Cervus to friends and family.

Janet felt overwhelmed after getting competing pitches from two different installers for her family’s home, but everything changed when Peter Cardenas stepped in. She credits Peter with patiently walking the family through how solar actually works, answering their questions, and laying out the real savings in a way the others hadn’t. Cervus Solar’s crew completed the install, and a year into owning the system she’s seeing a noticeable drop on her electric bill — a clear, tangible saving that made the difference. Grateful for the patient guidance and the solid results, she now points friends and family to Cervus Solar, with Peter’s thorough explanations and the year‑on‑year bill reduction as the detail that stuck with her.

Frank came into the experience having heard plenty of solar horror stories from friends and coworkers whose systems kept giving them trouble after installation. Instead, he ended up with a setup that went in quickly, ran efficiently, and has worked flawlessly from day one. Nearly two years later, it was still performing without a single issue, which is the kind of quiet reliability that stands out when so many other systems seem to need constant attention.

A couple of months after getting solar panels installed, Edgar was still feeling genuinely pleased with how smoothly the whole project came together. He worked with Art, Peter, and Javi along the way, and what stood out was how easy they made the process feel from start to finish. Their involvement left him with the sense that the installation had been handled by good people who knew how to keep things moving without drama.

Alan came into the project proud to work with a veteran-owned company, and that connection became part of what set the whole experience apart. On a solar panel installation for an ADU, he worked closely with Peter Cardenas from beginning to end and found the process marked by solid workmanship, attentive service, and a level of trust that mattered to him as a fellow veteran. The experience ended on a note that felt bigger than just getting panels installed: he saw the kind of integrity he hoped for from a business built by veterans, right down to the details of the work on the small secondary home.

Kathy had already been burned once, after signing on with another solar outfit that looked solid on paper but turned out to be a maze of subcontractors and silence. Six months after paying a deposit, the only visible progress was a worker stopping by to sketch a layout, and the permit paperwork never even got submitted. Getting her money back took going through the bond company just to force a response. Against that backdrop, Peter and Cervus felt like the opposite kind of experience: prompt, organized, and exactly on schedule with every step they promised. Peter stayed ahead of the permit process, and the installation crew carried the same professional pace. They came in a little higher than the first bid, but for Kathy the payoff was a smooth job with none of the stress of the earlier ordeal.

Derek found himself working with Peter and a crew that took their time with every question and handled the whole project with a calm, professional patience. What set them apart was that they also knew roofing, so the solar install came with the kind of care that helps avoid leaks later. After the first hard rain, he climbed into the attic and found it completely dry, which turned a technical promise into something he could actually verify. The pricing was just as striking: by going straight through Cervus Solar instead of a big-name middleman like Sunrun, the job came in at less than half of the quotes he had received from the major companies, a savings that made the dry attic feel even better.

Joshua needed a solar setup that could handle two electric vehicles and relentless commuting — both he and his wife drive over 100 miles a day — so Cervus designed the system around that heavy demand. He described the installation as a 15 KWH solar system paired with a 30 HWH battery: more capacity than most homes need, but exactly what his lifestyle requires. Cervus walked him through how to maximize available incentives while they last and kept him informed at every stage of the project. The crew installed the hardware and equipment professionally, and the combination of clear advice, steady communication, and an oversized system tailored to nonstop driving is the detail that stuck with him.
