If you are wanting to go solar, do yourself a favor and at least call Clinton. I've worked with Clinton on three jobs so far. The first was a 42 panel roof mount at my dad's house which was installed 9 days after we hired him. The second was a 40 panel ground mount at my sisters which took about two weeks to install from signing. We were on a deadline for those two systems and Clinton had both installed and working with plenty of time to spare while another solar company didn't think there was enough time to do even one.
The third was a 17 panel roof mount at my house. I had 7 quotes and he was able to install a larger system with better or equal quality hardware at a lower price than anyone else I've talked to. There's no gimmicks involved just straight forward honest pricing and quality materials.

Very satisfied with the work Johnson Solar did! Fast, professional, and great price!! Would definitely recommend to all family and friends.

When we moved into our new home, we knew we wanted to get solar and quickly figured out that it is pretty impossible to compare solar quotes in an ""apples to apples"" fashion. There are just too many variations from the amount of power produced, the technology used, etc and it is very daunting to try and understand it all. However, with it being a several thousand dollar investment - it is important to understand it! We got several quotes (about 5) and Clinton was the only one who was able to help us truly understand the quote and his pricing is very competitive and clear. He is extremely responsive and his turn around time is great. Lastly, of course our solar system is looking and working amazing! He will travel all over SD (we are in North County) so I highly recommend giving him a call.

Clinton did a fantastic job installing my system. Fast, thorough and at a good price. Wish I had done it sooner. I highly recommend Johnson Solar; very easy to do business with. Clinton is dependable and reliable. Get a quote from him, chances are he's both faster and cheaper than the competition.

Amazing service and quality is what you get with Johnson Solar. What he says he does and on time too. Goes the extra mile when needed. Even checks on you after the job. Highest quality materials and crew. I have to confess though I selected him for the great price. I surely got more than I paid for.... Thank you Clinton...

We thought about getting solar for years. But put it off because we'd heard about so many problems our friends had with other companies. Then we met Clinton. He is very knowledgeable and offered an affordable system that fit our needs. He made everything so easy. Our solar was up and running in no time! The thing that impressed me the most about Clinton is that he was very careful to place the solar panels in an area that we would get maximum exposure but would not affect the exterior look of our home. You hardly notice they are there. We have recommended Clinton to many friends and neighbors and they are just as happy with his work as we are.

Johnson solar was the best thing I did to my home. Clinton is a good man, hands on , family owned,came highly recommend by some friends. I had been shopping for solar for a while, Clinton came in the best and most reasonable and fast. He did reroof too to make sure no future trouble.
I highly recommend Johnson Solar
Please give him a chance to quote you at least

Clinton helped me out with a 5k solar system. I really appreciated how quickly he was able to get plans approved , panels ordered and installed.
Total turnaround was 15 days from contact to getting permission from SDG&E to operate. That's insanely fast.
Highly recommend Johnson Solar.
Thanks Clinton for all your help

I'm a DIY kind a guy and was going to install my PV system myself as I had done for my sons house. I had seen all of the door sales guys and the big companies offerings and these guys typically charge you higher prices as they are middlemen who take their cut. With Clinton there is no middlemen and is the reason Clinton is able to pass these savings to his customers. I worked closely with Clinton to make sure I got what I wanted and he was able to provide me with a great deal on a 5.4 Kw System. He and his crew of five were able to to put up 18 Solarworld 300w mono panels with micro inverters on a Saturday in 5hours. They are professionals and do quality work. I will definitely recommend Johnson Solar to my friends and family. .

Got the solar system 5.2kW installed on my rental house. The bill goes down to negative digit from $250/month average. It is insane !!!
Thank you for your great work, Clinton.
ps: I am trying to get you as many clients as I can.
