Benefits of going solar with Sun First
Financing
Sun First Solar offers cash purchase, loans, monthly and pre-paid leases from many partners such as PACE (CaliforniaFIRST and HERO), Mosaic, SunPower, YGrene and Sungage. Our financing options can help you make going solar easy.
Increase Property Value
Homes with solar electric systems have higher property values and typically sell quicker than non-solar homes. As solar grows, demand for properties equipped with solar will continue to rise.

We do not use subcontractors and instead we are proud to offer the experience of our own solar install team.

Client Testimonials
I just have to say what a fantastic company. They came out took care of the permits put everything in the right place I just couldn't be happier. I would happily recommend them to anyone!
I really can't say enough about this team. Excellent in every way. I had a 2.6kw system installed in 2007 and added another 2.5kw in March of 2016. The older DC panels are still working great and the newer AC panels are a step above. I would definitely choose the new Sunpower AC panels. I did my due diligence the second time around and no one could match their prices. Sure, you can get cheap Chinese panels but why not buy the Made in the USA Sunpower ones? They are in San Jose and I believe the warranty is 25 years parts AND labor. Try to match that. They are a local Marin business and they certainly get 5 stars from me. Look no further. And, go solar!
SunFirst! arrived when promised, and the team quickly got to work. By the end of the day, our 20-panel array, inverter, and emergency disconnect were in place and fully-functional. Not only this, the installation looks great -- everything from the panel fit to the conduit. They even painted (or perhaps it's already color-matched) the exposed rooftop conduit run to match the color of our shingles.
They installed our solar electric panels 4.5 years ago. Our monthly power bill has been $0 since then. Everything is still working well. Whenever I have questions, they got answers. AND... we hired them to install our solar pool system. That was 2 years ago. No leak. A+. I would do biz with Sun First again.
