The sales rep was extremely patient and answered all my questions over multiple emails and calls. The crew did a wonderful job and made this the smoothest home improvement project that I can remember. The customer service 3 months after the install was also impressive with follow up emails making sure the system was producing what was estimated” – Jessica R.
When we made the decision to install solar panels and a solar battery on our Berkeley home, we settled on Solar Energy Systems of California Inc. as our installer. It was an easy decision based upon many positive customer reviews, but the icing on the cake was Derrick Holt. He was totally on top of the entire project from the initial assessment of our house through the final permit sign off.
Would we recommend Solar Energy Systems? Absolutely 100%!

“Look no further! I talked with several, I mean several, solar companies, including the big dogs that so many of us are familiar with. Working with a local company that cares about the client experience put my worries to rest. From the follow up communication throughout the process to the professionalism of the crew, I was very impressed.” – Lauren S.
” Signed contract May 26, generating electricity July 23. They delivered every step of the way. Two day installation, start to finish. Responsive sales staff (Ben), friendly and competent back office, professional and courteous installation team. I don’t write reviews. Their performance motivated me to write this one. World class customer service! K.R.
When I purchased my home, I had 3 thoughts in mind
How much does air conditioning cost, how much does it cost to run a hospital bed and or anything else that a senior citizen might need…
How can I offset these costs…
Who do I know that can help me figure this out… Derrick Holt
I knew Mr. Holt managed a solar business.
Mr. Holt asked me why I wanted solar. I answered his questions and he and his team developed a plan.
He showed me the cost of solar, with breakeven points, savings from PGE, and the rest is history. The solar system has worked perfectly. I’ve personally saved a lot of money from PGE, and so have the people that I referred to Derrick
“We needed a new roof and wanted a solar system to avoid the high rates of PGE in 2018. We are retired and are at home a lot. Derrick treated us like family. He made it easy to replace our old, outdated wood shingles and choose new lighter weight roof shingles.
Derrick answered all our questions about choosing a very good solar system to cut down our PGE bill costs, and where to place them on the roof. He explained how his team would connect it to our electrical system in a safe manner. He even ordered a unique transmitter for our monitoring system at no additional cost. He was onsite during the new roof installation as well as the solar system installation.
Derrick still calls to check on us at least once a year, and he always calls us back if we need something or have a question about adding something new to our home that has nothing to do with the solar system. After installing the solar on our new roof, most of the time our PGE bill is only about $18 per month instead of hundreds of dollars. “

We love only paying PGE $20 for electricity each month. Now I need to change my gas heater to electric so that my solar system can save me money on heating also. We knew that we wanted to change to a solar system. Derek guided us through the process of analyzing our electricity usage, figuring out how many solar panels we would need, what type of battery to get, and the best place to install everything.
His team did a great job installing everything so that it looks nice in the garage and outside of the house.

I really appreciated Derrick’s Experience. He answered every single question that I had, shared more information than other solar companies about how the solar system with battery works and Derrick also provided more financial options that were less expensive than other companies. I do wish the solar system with battery was free.
Other solar companies became frustrated that I did not make a quick decision, but Derrick was very patient and gave me the time to choose what was best for me, with no pressure.
