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!

Craig

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 They were a pleasure to work with. The system is great. Braden has been incredibly responsive with many questions post install about how the system works etc.

David

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… read more

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. read more
