Testimonials
Nabu Energy recently installed solar panels at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. They offered the most cost-effective solution I could find—at least 20% cheaper than other local competitors—and didn’t compromise on quality or service. The installation was smooth, the crew was courteous, and everything was completed on time. If you're considering solar, I strongly recommend giving Nabu Energy a call. Great value, great service!

I am very impressed with the customer service offered by the staff at Nabu Energy. I called for information and recommendations regarding a solar and battery system, and I was provided very professional information and easy-to-understand recommendations with very unbiased, engineer-grade but layperson-level terminology. I very much appreciated their time, and I look forward to working with them in the future.

In 2022, I had Nabu Energy install new solar panels on my home. Their pricing was very competitive, and the installation was clean and professional. They were always respectful of my property, knocking on my door before entering to ensure I was home and giving me advance notice. I'm very satisfied with their service and would recommend Nabu Energy for any solar installation needs.

I recently had solar panels installed at my home by Nabu Energy, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the process was incredibly seamless. Whenever I had questions or needed assistance, their team was always responsive and quick to address my needs. The installation itself was smooth, and the crew was professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. They took the time to explain everything, making the entire process stress-free. Additionally, the payment process was straightforward and hassle-free. If you're considering solar panels, I highly recommend Nabu Energy for their excellent service and customer care.

I had the pleasure of working with Nabu Energy to install 27 solar panels and 2 Tesla Powerwalls, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the very beginning, I noticed how different Nabu Energy was compared to other solar companies I had received proposals from. There was no high-pressure sales pitch-- instead, their team of engineers took the time to explain everything in terms I could easily understand. They were patient with my many questions and focused on helping me feel confident in my decision. I was presented with three well-thought-out system options based on both my current and future solar needs, which gave me the flexibility to choose what was right for my home.

We had a solar PV system installed system few years ago from Nabu Energy under NEM2.0. Recently, we had an issue with the system and reached out to them with a service request on the issue, and they were able to help resolve the issue by reaching out to the manufacturer and getting us the replacement unit. Nabu engineers have always been helpful and reliable, and technicians are knowledgeable. They have provided great service and customer support. System installation quality and price were excellent. So far, we are satisfied with the service provided and hope it will continue in the future.

We hired Nabu Energy for the installation of a Tesla wall for our second home, and the installation was great. Nabu Energy engineers are knowledgeable and reliable. My installation was complicated due to the 400-amp main service panel. Many companies did not quote us due to system installation requirements for 400 amps with the main service panel; however, Nabu Energy did a great job. I have referred Nabu Energy to friends who got their system installed from Nabu, and their experience has been similar. One of the best companies to work with in the Bay Area!

While I am still in the exploration stage as a potential customer of Nabu Energy, I feel like this review will speak to much of my experience that I have had already. As a bit of background, I am currently having problems as a customer of a solar panel company that has since gone out of business, one of many (at least, that's what PG&E informed me while I was on the phone with them asking why my electricity bill has gone up, turns out my solar panels all of a sudden stopped producing electricity). What else is common is that once pre-existing customers of bankrupt companies start having issues with their panels, most companies are unwilling to help out, as, due to it being a liability concern, they will turn you and your problem away. That was not my experience with Nabu. After reading about Nabu online and calling their phone number on their website, I was met with an incredibly patient, honest, and helpful individual who told me that while they could not guarantee any work would be done for me due to the same liability concerns mentioned above, they would at least try and look into what my problem is. This is already farther than I have gotten with the 3 previous companies I have contacted. While I do not expect much to be done for myself, who finds myself in this unfortunate majority bucket, I feel like this kind of honesty and transparency from businesses is what we are missing in this capitalistic society, where businesses try to milk their customers out of every penny they have. If I did not previously have solar and were in the market and looking for an installer, I would rush to Nabu for their business solely based on my experience with their support over the phone. Bottom line: They are a responsible company and they care about their customers.

They were patient with my many questions and focused on helping me feel confident in my decision. I was presented with three well-thought-out system options based on both my current and future solar needs, which gave me the flexibility to choose what was right for my home. I ultimately chose Nabu Energy because it was clear they had my best interests at heart. The contract was comprehensive and transparent, leaving me fully informed about the process. After signing, we scheduled a design review over Zoom, where the team walked me through the proposal in detail and answered every question I had. The design exceeded my expectations and showed how much care they put into tailoring the system to my home. Nabu Energy coordinated the delivery of all the equipment ahead of time, and everything arrived smoothly and on schedule. When installation began, the crew was punctual, respectful, and highly knowledgeable. The quality of their work was excellent--down to details like color-matching the conduits to blend with my roof tiles and house exterior. Our house is a tri-level with a tile roof that is 36 years old, and there were zero issues in fastening the system securely. The system was installed without a single hitch, and I could tell their craftsmanship was second to none. Now that it has been 10 months since installation, I can confidently say Nabu Energy delivered on every promise. Their estimates for solar production have been spot-on, and the system has worked flawlessly. Their professionalism, work ethic, and follow-up have been exemplary. If I ever decide to expand my system with more panels or additional batteries, I wouldn't hesitate to call them again. Nabu Energy is a company that truly goes above and beyond, and I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone considering solar.

Nabu Energy’s service doesn’t end when the panels are on your roof. We provide proactive post-installation support: our team monitors system performance, helps troubleshoot any issues, and coordinates with equipment manufacturers for repairs or replacements under warranty. Many customers praise our follow-up – we keep clients informed after the install and ensure systems meet their promised output. In short, we stand behind our work and remain available to answer questions or resolve problems long after the project is complete.
