Perk Solar Electric reviews

Charles had Perk Solar install a rooftop system in October 2015, and the array has produced exactly what the company predicted from the start. The part that set the experience apart came later, when two panels malfunctioned and Perk Solar handled the replacement at no cost, getting the panel manufacturer to cover it rather than leaving him to sort it out. He had chosen the company for its solar know-how, and the follow-through on service confirmed that the team stood behind its work when something actually needed fixing.

Scott shopped several quotes around San Diego and, after a friend’s referral, landed on Perk. He found John easy to work with, offering the lowest price and inviting him to visit other homes Perk had installed so he could see the work firsthand. Scott discovered that while a few people can install panels themselves, the real value here was Perk managing the city of San Diego permitting and the SDG&E process — the paperwork and approvals that often become headaches. Perk handled all of that on his behalf. He ended up with 19 320-watt panels and a SolarEdge inverter, and in his first full year the system produced a net surplus of energy. Even with a rainy start to the follow-up year, he’s on track to do it again — the concrete outcome being that the install paid off in production, not just promises.

Anthony interviewed 10 to 15 solar companies in 2014 and quickly dismissed many as shady phone brokers who sized roofs from Google Maps and couldn’t explain what a watt was. He chose Perk Solar because they recommended the best-yielding PV layout for his east-west roof instead of pushing overpriced or obsolete equipment. Perk Solar installed a 5kW rooftop system almost two years before February 2017, and from planning through completion they kept communication clear and handled the permits, SDGE interconnection, and the necessary power panel upgrades. As of Feb 2017 he hadn’t experienced any problems with generation, efficiency, or defective components. The detail that stuck with him was Perk’s technical competence and hands-on handling of the utility and panel work, which left him with a reliably performing system nearly two years later.

David hired Perk Solar to design and install a residential system 2.5 years ago and needed it finished within two weeks before a long trip; the system has performed flawlessly since. John Perkins accepted the tight window, pushed permits through, oversaw the installation and inspections, and secured SDG&E approval so the array could be turned on before David left — a job other companies hesitated to take because the panels weren’t being mounted on the house. The installation stood out for its neatness: no exposed wires or silver conduit, a cleaner look than David had seen on several relatives’ systems. After two true-up periods the system produced enough credits that he paid only about $10 in electricity over two years, even with the monthly service fee climbing; the overproduction covered nearly all the fees. He discovered that John Perkins and his team know their craft, delivering solid design, quality components and tidy workmanship. The detail that stuck with him most: impeccable, uncluttered installation combined with a near-zero two-year net bill of roughly $10.

Mark H. waited a full year to judge the system and learned more about solar than he expected. He had imagined building a makeshift setup in the basement, but ended up with a professionally designed and installed "Power Plant" that simply works. Over the year he watched Perk Solar handle every hiccup, resolve problems, and carry the project through to final completion without loose ends. The install felt flawless and the team kept the process seamless from design to turnover, leaving him relaxed about his home’s electricity. What stuck with him most was the peace of mind — after a year of real use, the follow-through and attention to detail are the moments he remembers.

Ron’s solar setup was designed with a very specific goal in mind: enough power to run the house and keep the family’s electric vehicle charged. John Perkins and his team handled the installation nearly three years ago, and the job came off as polished and professional from the start. The payoff has been unusually concrete for a suburban home like theirs—they haven’t had an electric bill since, and the EV has let them skip the gas station altogether.

Walt had his system installed by Perk Solar more than 12 years ago, and what stood out most was that the help did not stop once the panels were up. Years later, when he bought a new gateway online and got stuck setting it up, he reached back out and got practical help that got the device working again. That long-running mix of know-how and care made the relationship feel less like a one-time install and more like having someone reliable to call whenever the system needed attention.

Eric N. had solar panels installed nearly five years ago and discovered the Perk Solar crew to be personable and professional. Over that time he’s watched the system deliver steady, year-after-year reductions in his energy bills, turning the upfront purchase into what he considers a solid financial investment. What stood out to him was the combination of a helpful team and reliable savings — a pairing that led him to recommend Perk Solar to others.

When DJ B. ran into a complicated solar-plus-battery layout on his San Diego home, John Perkins stepped in and took the job rather than passing it off. John and his crew handled the tricky routing, kept communications blunt and clear, jumped through the necessary hoops, and completed the install correctly. DJ noticed the difference in two places: Perk Solar priced the work fairly and competitively instead of inflating costs the way larger companies often do around federal tax credits, and the team treated electrical safety as nonnegotiable, refusing to cut corners on wiring. He’s picky about quality and walked away so satisfied with the workmanship and the straightforward approach that he plans to call Perk Solar for any future upgrades.
