Added Enphase 5p battery back-up system to our already installed solar panels.

Ricardo and his installation crew were outstanding in every way. I was kept informed throughout the installation process and shown the operation of the battery back-up system. Crew arrived on time and were very efficient.
It was a pleasure working with Semper Solaris.

We had a wonderful experience with Semper Solaris. They put on a new roof for us & installed solar panels. I highly recommend Dawn Williams, our sales representative . Se is extremely knowledgeable with engineering experience, so she was able to explain the process in higher level terms. She also helped us get out of a jam with another solar company that scammed us. They were able to get our project started earlier than expected which was surprising nice! All of the workers were competent and friendly. A job well done!

Installation of our Tesla Powerwall went relatively smoothly, but now we are having all kinds of electrical issues including a burned out transformer, frequent power outages, and a hot breaker panel. On top of it, they sent out a technician who did not solve the problem, we cannot use the grid, and now it's taking forever to send out someone again to figure out the problem. They seem keen to place the Powerwall and collect their fees, but did they do it correctly, and do they care?

Since Tracy once again has tried to make it seem that Semper Solaris might have done something right, I'm updating yet again. My problem was resolved by Tesla. Until I posted the updated review several days later, I heard NOTHING from Semper Solaris. When I did hear from them it was not from technical support, but to just blow smoke, like Tracy has done.

Since she's opened the door, I should also mention that I'm going to be paying an actual licensed, competent electrician to fix the hideous mess they made of the outside of my house. It's going to be expensive.

DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR MONEY OR TIME.

We started with a plan to install solar panels along with our new roof. Once we had a contract in place, I was surprised at how fast Semper Solaris completed the project and how clean they left everything. Fast forward a year later, and we contracted for a Tesla battery. Unfortunately, the rep we were dealing with left the company and didn't tell anyone we had signed a contract for this battery. It was Bill LaCommare who stepped in and expedited the project. The crew spent time with us to understand exactly what we needed. We were lucky enough to be able to afford a second battery and, again, Bill and all at Semper Solaris were friendly and efficient, and perhaps most importantly, reachable whenever we had questions. (Bill even responded to a quick (text) question while on vacation.

The roof, solar panels and battery projects all went smoothly and passed inspections without issue. FYI, understanding that staffing at all companies may be tough, all of our questions sent via text or email got a response within one business day.

Bob Mellino and Rafaela highly recommend Dawn Williams of Semper Solaris for your future solar projects. Dawn helped us on two solar projects (installation and back-up Tesla batteries). We contacted several solar companies before her; to that I say 'RUN, DON'T WALK!' Not so with Dawn, she is extremely knowledgeable, straightforward, honest, and caring of her clients. She answered all our questions regarding our projects and contracts, without hesitation. I have several decades of experience as a California licensed Real Estate broker and Loan Officer and am not in the habit of endorsing a business or individual, unless they are stellar or exceptional, because invariably it will always reflect on me if things don't pan out. Dawn is that person; extremely bright and a wonderful human being. She will remain your go-to person long after the contract is signed.
We both highly recommend and endorse Dawn Williams for all your solar projects.
Thank you for your time.

Bill, our sales rep, kept on top of the installation process after we made the purchase. He made the difference to deliver to our satisfaction!

We needed to replace our roof and thought it would be beneficial to have solar panels installed, too. Bill LaCommare was not only our sales rep but also had our backs throughout the whole process. There were many moments we had questions about doing the roof and solar panels in the beginning, and we, unbeknownst to us, asked Bill while he was having family/friends time. He kindly told us he would answer our question afterwards, and he followed up. I was quite impressed with his response and patience. As neighbors and friends have noticed and inquired about who installed the solar panels, I have continuously sung praises for both Bill and the Semper Solaris team who managed our roof, solar panel, and now battery installation. The care, the calls to check in with us is why we highly recommend them. Thank you Bill and the Semper Solaris family.

worst customer experience imaginable. Project in process and zero proactive outreach and updates provided to existing customers and absolutely no way to get an update or reach an actual human. Company sites list multiple phone numbers -- ALL of which go to some AI system so you are forced to either stay on hold for however long you can stand it or request a ""call back"" by some random rep. Emails go unanswered. The only response to messages sent were auto generated texts to schedule a marketing/sales appointment! Completely unacceptable, completely unprofessional.

It took 5 months for them to finish our solar system. We already had the panels. It did take 2 days to put on the new roof. And the battery was actually installed in July. But Semper Solaris was unable to pass two City inspections, and was delaying the third inspection until November 25th. They did finally passed the third one on November 10th after I hired a lawyer. After the Cupertino inspector left, the technician informed me he would be turning off the power in order to put all the system back together. Then he left the site without turning the power back on. Calls to Semper Solaris did get him back here and my power was restored after a couple of hours. However, I have since learned from the manufacturer of the battery that sensors under the solar panels are not reporting and stopped reporting on November 10th. The manufacturer has given me instructions on how to get them and the system back online properly. I'm in the process of finding a new solar company to complete those instructions. I do not recommend Semper Solaris.
