I had originally (about a year ago) had a system installed that produced about 98% of my annual electric needs. With the passage of the California law that required California power companies to reimburse customers for any excess annual electricity produced and introduced into the Grid, I wanted to expand my system so it would produce 100+% of my annual electric needs.\r
\r
I had Sequoia Solar do the original installation. I had interviewed both Clary Solar and Sequoia Solar in 2009. Both had excellent third party reviews, years of experience, similar installation techniques (excellent materials, angling the panels, guards against leakage, timeframes, etc.), and similar bids. Deciding between the two was essentially a ""coin toss"" and I went with Sequoia Solar but unfortunately they went out of business a few months after my installation.\r
\r
Since I had almost selected Clary Solar, I contacted Junaid Qazi of Clary Solar for the upgrade. He was kind enough to assist me in this endeavor and their superior materials, timeliness, techniques, and workmanship did not disappoint. There were some less-than-perfect small cosmetic touches but the Project Manager, Kevin Campbell, had them promptly corrected (and was also kind enough to provide me with pictures of the completed panel work which, because of my roof design, was not visible from the ground).\r
\r
It has now been almost five months since the additional system was installed and it has worked flawlessly. In addition, Junaid came by a few days ago to make sure the system was functioning as promised and checked for leakage (from the original installation as well as that by Clary Solar). I regret not having selected Clary Solar initially (and will do so if future needs arise) and would without any hesitation or misgiving recommend the company to any others considering solar panels.\r
