I am so happy I used Mid-State Solar. I was told from another company, one I used and trusted for over 15 years, that I needed a new solar pool system. I called Mary and she gave me a quote for a new system. Before we made the decision to replace the system, her crew came out the see the old system. They fixed the leaks in my solar panels, so I didn't need a new system after all! Thanks so much! Would definitely recommend their company.

I can't believe I forgot to write this review last year... I must have been too busy enjoying my delightfully heated pool and neglected to do so. Let me correct thatOh, where do I begin with my experience with Mid State Solar? Let me just say, my pool has never been happier, and neither have I!From the moment I contacted them, the responsiveness was so speedy, it felt like I had pressed the "fast forward" button on my phone. I mean, these guys are like the superheroes of solar heating! Quick, efficient, and ready to save the day... or rather, save my pool parties from being chilly disasters! (They get booked out pretty far because they have been in business for quite a while. Take a standby appointment.)The workers were like magical pool heating elves. They arrived promptly, armed with their solar wizardry, and got to work right away. I had to have a panel removed, they did it and has my system tip top. I was told my pool would heat less but honestly, we didn't notice. But the real star of the show was the man who assisted me throughout the process. I wish I could remember his name. His friendliness was like a was a breath of fresh air. I swear, he must have been sprinkling pool-heating stardust on himself because his positive energy was a delight. Not only was he a great to chat with, but his honesty and willingness to help me made the whole experience a breeze. And let me tell you, folks, my pool is now the temp I prefer- 84°. No more shivering guests or blue lips at my gatherings. Thanks to Mid State Solar, my pool parties are the bomb, and I'm the MVP of summer fun!So, if you're looking to turn your pool into a tropical paradise, don't waste another contact Mid State Solar. They're almost like the sun itself, spreading warmth, and not anxiety. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. They have my full endorsement and a cannonball splash of a recommendation!Thanks so much Ashley, who I spoke to on the phone. Every one is just the best.

I've called 3 times and left messages. No call back. I went to the office twice during business hours and door was locked. 2nd time a lady opened the door and seemed frantic. She was apprehensive for some reason. I gave her all the specs for my garage and she said someone would call. Been 2 months now. Very disappointed

We started doing business with Mid-State Solar about 19 years ago when we had them install our solar swimming pool heating panels. Over the years, for any service needed, I would simply call Mary and she would ensure the service was done quickly.So when we decided to get solar panels to produce electricity for our home, I spent about 6 months educating myself on different systems. I researched and got quotes from not only Mid-States Solar but other Solar companies in California. Aaron from Mid-States Solar put together the estimate for me based on the roof, trees, shade evaluation and where the sun comes across our home. I realized then that it was a huge difference to have a local company, that came to the house to see what they had to work with and who know the local policies with the City and our electricity provider (Modesto Irrigation District) verses a company reviewing a satellite view of our home on their computer. The other companies gave me bad information regarding local policies and told me I had to upgrade my electrical panels and trench to the street to upgrade the connection with our power company. Once Aaron looked at our panel and designed our system, there was no need to upgrade the panel or trench, saving us over $10,000.Our installation crew was run by Nick. They did an awesome job on the roof and found the least intrusive way to run the power to our panel through our attics. At the same time, they moved our pool heating panels to another part of the roof and replumbed the panels. Dan the electrician did a great job and was very professional.The price was better than the other quotes I had received, and we got a great low interest loan with the opportunity to re-amortize once we get our 26% solar credit.Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the system and the entire team from Mid-States Solar. One of my favorite parts of the day is when I go outside and watch my meter run backwards!Signed – A happy retiree!

I just want to update my earlier review and state that after quite some time a very nice person reached out to me and was quite apologetic for not getting back to me. Not sure where the glitch happened on their end but she was polite, answered all of my questions and was extremely sorry that nobody had reached out to me earlier.

I just had mid-state solar install a solar pool system and I am absolutely satisfied. In less than 24 hours my pool temperature was at the selected temperature . The entire crew was fantastic, including the first guy who came out to do the free consultation. They were all extremely nice and professional and they listened to my concerns and questions. I highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a solar pool system. it will be worth the money.

We had Mid-State Solar do our solar for electricity and they were outstanding. Mary, Aaron and Nick as well as the installation crew were great to work with. Communication was good and and really pleasant to work with..

Mid State was quick to provide a quote and install, that I'll give them. As to fixing a leak that wasn't there when they touched our pool equipment, we were told that it wasn't caused their install to call our pool company. That it most likely was caused by the increased pressure. UPDATE: After a little blow up (which I feel bad about) They came out and fixed the leak, and Ty said it was possible that when he added the two valves that the filter union could have loosened up.

I had my solar panels installed by Peterson Dean a few years ago. This last summer something went out in my Enphase box so I wasn't getting any data as to how much electricity I was generating. This had happened to me once before so I knew to call Enphase first to have them trouble shoot it then to call Peterson Dean to install the new part. Imagine my surprise when Enphase informed me Peterson Dean went bankrupt on the solar panel part of their company so I had no warranty for them to come install the part. It took 2 months to get the part and they were supposed to send a list of contractors who worked on Enphase systems but they didn't, so I did some research to find a company that did to pay to have it installed. I found Mid -State and they were able to send a gentleman out to install it. It didn't take him long to fix however he found there to be another problem, but this time with the solar panels. Something went out on 1 panel that made none of the electricity be reported to PG&E. He didn't have the part with him and said he could come back another time to change it out. We got to talking and I told him I was thinking about adding some panels because since I installed the panels I bought an electric car so my true up was up quite a bit. He told me he'd have Aaron get in touch with me to figure out what I needed. Longer story shorter, they installed 6 new panels and upgraded my micro-inverters on my old panels which increased their production also. And the upgraded mico-inverters will also be compatible with a storage battery if I decide to get one. Aaron and the whole crew were awesome through this whole thing. I'll definitely use them again.

Aaron and Nick were amazing. We found out our existing solar with BP suffered a massive recall years ago due to panels spontaneously combusting and catching fire. Well wouldn’t you know- ours caught fire. I would’ve never known without the knowledge of these two. I knew a converter went out, but my existing solar company was no longer in business so I turned to Mid-State hoping they might be able to help. We ended up getting our entire solar removed and replaced after filing a claim for the fire, and they did an outstanding job. Highly recommend Mid-State- they’re honest and passionate about what they do. They care!

I have been completely happy with my choice for solar through this company! From installation to now a year later it has exceeded my expectations. They treated me like a friend and responded to each and every question. Their office staff are awesome as well!

When our existing solar system died, we wanted to find a company that paid equal (or more) attention to the After Sale side of customer service, since that was where our previous installation company failed. We got a few quotes; 2 from the Big Guys, and one from Mid-State who was referred to us by a friend. The Big Guys had the cheaper quotes, but based on reviews from Yelp and other Solar-specific review sites, they were terrible with the customer service after installation. So we decided to go with the slightly more expensive quote from Mid-State. It was probably one of the best decisions we've ever made with regards to home improvement work! I cannot speak highly enough about Aaron and his crew! From start to finish and beyond, they were just fantastic! Aaron went over everything in the proposal to make sure we didn't have any questions, then kept us up to date on scheduling. From the complicated removal of our old system, to the replacement of some shingles, to the install of the new system, and clean up...everything was top notch! AND, I know that if we have any issues down the road, Mid-State will be there to help! Highly recommend!!

We purchased a home in Ripon last summer and wanted to get our pools solar equipment tuned up before summer. I found Mid State's Solar sticker on our equipment from the previous owner. I called about 4 weeks ago (mid April) and spoke with a lady who was very friendly. She told me they were very busy, or in her words, "slammed" and would not commit or make an appointment at that time. I called back every week to try and schedule but received the same response, "We are very busy." Finally, my wife received a call from their office on May 20th stating a technician would be out on May 21st between 12:00PM and 2:30PM. May 21st came and went without anyone showing up or even the courtesy of a call to let me know why. I called the office on 05-24-21 at 12:50 PM and spoke with the same nice lady by phone. She told me she saw the scheduled appointment but had not received the technician's notes to find out why nobody came out. I told her everyone including the technician is very busy; however, everyone carries a cell phone and a simple call to let me know there was a delay would have been appropriate. I told her the technician's actions were unacceptable. If you're looking for frustration, excuses and a complete lack of respect for your time, give this company a call.

Good Costamer service
