“Top notch professional job
APS and their crew did a great job designing, installing; and fine tuning our solar system to suit our needs and our site. We are very happy with how well we were treated by Mona, Rick; and the crew. Rick made sure that all our concerns were thoroughly addressed and taken care of. I would recommend APS Solar to anyone thinking about going solar.

“Solidly Sold on Selecting Solar
Absolutely the best experience I’ve had in dealing with a company. Rick, the owner of APS Solar is a personable, no-pressure kinda guy who is very knowledgeable and honest in his business dealing. He explains everything and makes it easy to understand for those of us who are unfamiliar with solar. The installation was done professionally by skilled workmen that take tremendous pride in the finished product. To say we’re pleased would be an understatement. In this day and age with so many unscrupulous charlatans out there, dealing with Rick was a real pleasure.

“Great Home Solar Installation
APS solar did a great job of fully explaining the system and were very flexible in designing a system to meet our needs. They were timely in their installation and had the system up and running in a few days. They took care of all permits and PG&E communication. I just had to sign a few papers and a check and bam – $10 a month PG&E bill. Great service and great results.

“APS – Excellent Company
We are very pleased with APS Solar! We found the entire operation professional, reliable and clearly focused on the customer. The entire staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Rick was great and readily available to answer all our questions and explained everything clearly and completely. Working with Mona was a pleasure, she kept us well informed and made doing the paperwork painless. When the installation began Rick and his team, Brian and Jake, arrived when promised. They were efficient workers, worked hard and cleaned up the end of each day. Not only did they begin right on time, but also completed the project right on time.
It was a pleasure doing business with Rick and his staff. We love our solar and are already recommending APS to all our friends – thanks APS!

“Great Company
We could not be happier than with the job done by APS. They were accurate with their estimates and professional in all they did. They brought in a large crew on time and were finished quicker than they said. We have finished our first year of production, and their estimate of our cost for the year was accurate within $32. We highly recommend this company.

“Best In The West
If you want to go solar, then APS Solar is really the best choice. They are on time, efficient and install a great system. Mona, at the admin office, is right on top of all the paperwork necessary from start to finish. Rick fields every question you might have and he takes the time to ensure you understand the answers. The installer crew is fast and clean. They are in and out with no muss and no fuss. To top it off, the price is right. I highly recommend this company.

“Our System Turned Out Awesome!
We talked with several companies at different Home and Garden Shows but Mariza at APS Solar was the most helpful. She had a nice display and answered all our questions in a way that we could understand. Mariza came to our house to gather information regarding our electricity usage. Then she sent Rick to further explain things and see our house and discuss what would best fit our needs.
Rick was great at explaining how systems work, deciding how much solar would work for us, and how Solar would meet our goals. APS Solar helped us find lending institutions that would handle this type of project. After one bank fell through, Mariza connected us with another bank. She was right on top of every things and kept us informed on the progress. APS Solar also helped us arrange for other needed work with a roofing company and a central heat and air company. It all came together and they organized each stage of work within a few weeks of funding.
Our system turned out awesome! Better then what we had pictured. I run a home Child Care Center and think this is a wonderful teaching tool for the children to learn about the future. I was named the first certified Eco-Healthy “GREEN” Child Care in Tuolumne County in 2009/2010. Solar has taken it a step further. Now we are obsessed with checking how much Solar Power we are producing compared to how much energy we are using.
APS Solar is the company to go to! The whole staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Clean up was great, and after installation was up and running, they still check up to see how things are going.
We can’t thank APS Solar enough for a job well done!

“Excellent Service and Product
From the time Rick came to give us a thorough overview of the system, through the instillation by a great crew, to the final wrap up meeting, we could not have been happier with the service and product. We are now online and enjoying the benefits of Solar generated power. We would not hesitate to recommend APS Solar.

APS Solar was very thorough in explaining the process to us, and extremely professional and knowledgeable. The installers showed up on time and completed the entire installation in a little over 2 days. We were happy to have our solar installed by a local Tuolumne county company.

Very smooth process. APS Solar knows the business well and is a well established local company. We had a small gliche in the design/install process which was quickly and professionally handled. Would highly recommend use of this company.

“Great Job at Competitive Price
Purchasing a residential solar system from APS was an overall good experience. They are a local company that provided good service. I would recommend you consider using APS if you are looking to install a solar system.
My experience:
Research: I originally called Rick Burkhard (APS president) to discuss general residential solar system questions and installation scenarios as I was still deciding if purchasing a solar system was appropriate for me. Rick seemed very knowledgeable in his responses. He was also patient with me even though it was clear I was still in the investigative mode. The quote provided was clear and provided me a baseline for comparison with other solar companies.
Decision: After completing further investigations and deciding where I wanted the solar arrays installed, I decided to have APS provide me a final/detailed estimate. Rick was prompt in his response. We agreed to equipment & final price (competitive with other solar companies) and installation schedule.
Installation: The two-man installation crew did a great job. Brian and Doug were professional, friendly and easy to work with. They arrived each day as scheduled and kept their work locations clean. All aspects of the installation were done in a professional manner (racking, solar panels, inverter and all associated wiring). Once installed, the system was placed in service with no issues.
Permit & PG&E: Rick with Mona (APS Office Manager) completed all the permit and PG&E paperwork. Eight days after the system was installed, we were notified by PG&E that we had official “permission to operate”.
Follow-up: Rick made a final call to review the warranty information (APS installation 10yr, Inverter 10yr manufacturer, solar panels 25yr manufacturer). He also discussed the systems on-line monitoring and other details related to the system.

“Super Ground Mount PV System
APS Solar did a great job on design, approval and construction of our 5.8KW PV ground mount system. From our first on site visit from Rick, and support from Mona in the office, to the installation by Brian, Doug and Ben, the project was smooth and professional. They are very knowledgeable and use the best PV products and do a quality install with local people. We highly recommend you use Rick and his APS Solar team for your solar power project.
