– John

“Sun Pacific has continued to contact me and check up on the performance of the panels as well as to be sure that I understand the electric company’s billing. I have already recommended them to friends.”

– DeDe

“We took a bill that could easily run over $200 a month and turned it into more like $200 a year.”

– Bob L.

“Everything was done neatly and professionally and the system has been working perfectly for five years now. I would highly recommend Sun Pacific Solar.”

– Paul K.

“Sun Pacific installed 7 very efficient panels, while other quotes needed 10 to generate the same amount of electricity. Fewer panels, less maintenance for the future. All in all, very happy!”

"You guys install the best solar systems that I inspect. Whenever my friends ask me who to hire, I recommend you."

– Eric S., Inspector

“The installers are professional, and their work is one of a craftsman. When I compare the appearance of our system with one from a competitor on our neighbor’s house, ours is a much cleaner install, with fewer panels to generate more power! You can do all the research you want, but this is the company you will choose if you want the best for your home!!”
