Here's just a few examples of the what our clients have to say about working with us over the years.
ELIZABETH H. 2022
"Thanks to the recommendations from NextDoor neighbors, we hired Illuminate Solar Company to install solar panels and backup batteries for us recently. We are very happy with the result. Mark is very knowledgeable and accommodating, and his crew is very efficient and pleasant. Choosing this local company turned out to be a wise decision. I highly recommend them to anyone who is considering installing solar."
LIBBY T. 2022
"Mark and his crew did a wonderful job installing my solar panels. They came to work when they said they would, finished on time. I am so happy with the panels and paying nothing for electricity including charging my car. Great work!"
DANIEL M. 2022
"Mark at Illuminate Solar just finished a solar install for us on our home. His company did a great job at a very fair price. I had several solar companies bid for the project. Most were salesmen that did not know their product and gave canned answers. Mark gave real knowledge and took the time to go over everything about the installation. The crew was great, but most of all the communication from Mark was the best. He kept us informed about the progress of the permits and the job. Not many contractor's communicate like Mark does. I highly recommend his company if you are looking for a small company where the owner is involved and the employees have been with the company for years. You found the right company."
DAVID M. 2021
"Mark and his crew were honest, down to earth, communicative and did a great job."
GARY R. 2020
"We used Illuminate Solar for a fairly sizable solar installation. Mark and his team were great, and I would recommend them without hesitation. They were honest, timely, and clean. We bid out to 6 different installers and they were tied for the lowest cost. Unlike Tesla who has set panels they use in set increments (4, 8, or 12 kw systems and only 320w panels), Illuminate worked with us to get exact right size system and panels to maximize our roof area and needs. They also worked to get the installation done quickly to qualify for tax deduction. Highly recommend."
ROBERT H. 2018
"I solicited 2 other bids prior to hiring Illuminate. Note that the average price of residential solar in California is about $3.16. Both of the other companies came in way over that with no justification. Personally, I am not willing to pay for large marketing departments or for sales people to quote high prices to numerous customers waiting for one to bite. In contrast, Mark gave me a fair quote right off the bat. It was also obvious to me that he had the needed experience and attention to detail. He measured the solar exposure and proposed a configuration involving tilting the panels on part of the roof that the other bigger companies had overlooked. Illuminate also guaranteed a minimum power output calculated to minimize my electric bill. The others did not provide that guarantee.
In terms of the work quality, they were on time and very responsive at every stage with a lot of attention to detail including the aesthetic aspects of panel, electronics and conduit placement and even choosing paint colors for the conduits in various places. Mark and the team take pride in their work and I wholeheartedly recommend them."
LinDa C. 2016
"Well the proof is in the bill. Solar is the way to go. Last years July PG&E bill was $525.41 this years July bill, with solar installed, $6.57. If you live in California solar is a no brainer. Consider it and if you go with solar I strongly recommend Illuminate Solar. Illuminate Solar configured my system to ensure it would produce enough solar energy to no longer have a bill. They are professional, knowledgable, responsive, experienced and their workmanship is exceptional. Go solar!"
JohN K. 2016
"Used Mr. Mark Hafen and his company for my solar residential project. His expertise, his seamless installation and his understanding of the financial benefits of solar made me understand I NEEDED SOLAR. It is the best investment you can make for your home because it pays you back. Give this company a call you won't be sorry."
