Hard to express how pleased & impressed with this outfit I am. I'll sound like a commercial for them, but this was amazing, beginning with our consultant: Rich Bruce. Honestly, after much research I had concluded it was just too early for most folk to get good return on solar. Nobody I talked to was entirely happy. I was referred to PetersanDean from a very trusted source, & decided to hear what the fellow had to say.

In only 1.5hrs around my house, roof & at my dining table, I had not only all the details about the company (roofing & solar), product (American made panels-very important), my setup (number and placement of panels), installation (approx start date and time for install), and the pricing (NO OPTION for leasing, since they think it's bad for consumers - and my research showed exactly that, plus in-house financing if needed), but also, most importantly, the projection of our future bills. Rich made sure to say that he PROMISED NOT ONE WORD of what he projected would go exactly as he said, but it's what he projected. His knowledge & clarity, sincerity & total belief in the company & product (along with a few safeguards for us) had us sign.

Well! Despite engineers who design the layouts, and administrators and actual installers etc., what Rich set out on my table that day is exactly what went down and went up on my roof. Amazing! And our new power bills (OMG!!!). Plus, he's still with us; comes by & emails to make sure we're happy. Outstanding young man. Helena Shi, our administrator gets a shout too, a great rep of a great company. She kept us fully up to date every step of the way; if they sneezed, we got an email.

Finally, even the installation/installers were awesome. They said they'd start at 7am, and guess what? By only just afternoon the crew boss, testing the completed system, showed me our Edison meter arrow for the first time sending them power instead of the other way around.
Too Happy!

We did quite a bit of research into getting solar on our house. After meeting with a company about leasing and researching it, we decided buying makes more sense. When we met with Milo Razo of Petersen Dean, we were immediately impressed how knowledgable he is and how he spent a lot of time with us since we had an endless list of questions. He never lost patience with us. The other things we liked about Milo were that he never pressured us to make the sale. Also, he is very fast at responding to calls and texts. In addition, since Petersen Dean is a roofing company as well, it seemed to make sense. Petersen Dean's financing plan also seemed reasonable. We opted for going ahead with them.
We are glad we did. Just before Christmas during an unusual rain in the desert, our roof began to leak under where some panels were installed. Milo answered a late night text and has been responsive ever since. Petersen Dean is fixing the leak in our roof. We are very happy with this firm. They have been really good all along and Milo is a super guy who really cares. If I moved, I would use them again.

So while looking at solar companies here on yelp. I had a live chat Conversation with an individual from Petersen Dean. During the conversation I informed him we were a small farm that wanted to have solar placed on our (fixed in place, city permitted) barn to help with our electric bill for the farm.

After our conversation, he had his assistant call me that asked the same questions to confirm what was said in the live chat. I again informed them that we are a farm that would like solar placed on our barn to help offset our electric bill for the farm. She again asked if the barn is fixed in place and city permitted. In which I again told them yes. She then asked how much we spend on electricity to confirm if solar would help us. Once it was determined that they could help us with lowering our bill.

She then transferred me to someone to schedule an appt for a quote. That lady again asked me all the same questions and again I told them for the third time that we were wanting to get solar on our barn to help with the electric bill for the farm. She at that point placed me on hold for about 10 mins. She then comes back on to inform me that they cant do barns, that they only do residential. So why couldn't the first person I talked to inform me of this. It seems to me that Petersen Dean doesn't want business from any farmers and just wants to waste people's time. I was on the phone with them from start to finish for about 50 minutes.

No worries here Petersen Dean, you won't be getting our business. We have 3 other companies to choose from.

We went from one solar company to the next. I sat down with a dozen companies and non of them could compete with Petersen Dean. The name of the Rep who helped us through this all was Richard Bruce.From the very beginning there was no BS spewing. Right to the point. Here are the numbers and here's what cost. PERFECT. That's what I've been waiting for from all those other companies. Before they came out I researched their company, just like I had the others. The only option is to purchase with them. We wouldn't lease a car so why would we lease solar, After the name came out to inspect, we made the appointment to install! The day they came to install it was suppose to rain, so they sent out a few crews and my panels were up in 3 hours! Talk about fast! The panels are up, the conduit was hidden and the parts exposed were painted with a color match of my home. They ran us through all the details and explained everything. They have been up and running for a couple months now and out meter is going backwards! the phone app is so easy to use too.

Only bad thing I have to say is the Project coordinator never had a clue what was going on. But that's okay bc we had Rich to help us out! He always answered my texts and calls and did everything in his power to make sure we were happy!

my husband and I have been getting quotes for 2 weeks now. I went to their website and loved how easy it was. I set up an appointment for yesterday at 6pm. We held off on making dinner, and taking our son to his class so we could both talk to the guy, and be involved. 6pm came around and no one showed up. no call, no email, nothing. I guess this makes our decision on this company for us.

We researched solar companies and decided to call Petersen Dean because we don't want to lease solar panels; we want to buy the product. We have seen the problems some of our neighbors have encountered who leased the solar panels. We set up an appointment for a sales rep to come out, which he did in about 3 days. Our sales rep, Milo, was very courteous and helpful in explaining how solar panels will help us save money as well as the different loan programs. He answered all of our questions, both in person and via e-mails/texts. We would recommend Petersen Dean and feel that Milo is a definite asset to the company. As installation proceeds, I will add more to my review.

This review is NOT based on work done...just about their website and lack of information.

So I heard an ad for this company on KFI and since I had a roof leak I figured I would call them. I looked at the website and saw that they primarily do solar install. They did mention roof repair so I called them. The customer service person was very nice and helpful. When all was said and done I was told that because they did not put the roof on the house or the solar panels on the house they would not be able to bid on a leak repair job. I completely understand that but if you would have made mention of that somewhere on the website then I would have not wasted my time (or yours) on the phone.

The company followed up with me and offered to provide wild life netting for my solar at a discount, which restored my faith in the company again. Sad this couldn't have been done initially to make an upset customer mad, but better now than never! Thanks petersen dean!
