Solar Electric systems use photo voltaic solar cells to convert the sun's energy into electricity. The system can be directly tied to your electric panel ("grid-tie"), or charge a bank of batteries for "off grid" applications, or be designed as "grid-tie with battery backup". Solar electric or "photo voltaic (PV) systems" offset your electricity usage, reducing your electric monthly utility bills and the uncertainty of increasing utility costs.
Whether it is due to wildfires, freezing, heat waves, heavy snow, high winds, solar flares, EMP, or cyber terrorism, . By design, your standard grid tied solar electric system will also turn off when the grid power goes down. However, adding batteries to your solar electric system will leverage your investment in your renewable energy power plant and provide temporary backup power in the event that the grid goes down.
Custom Solar's full staff of engineers is adept at designing and understanding and integrating complex solar heating systems. They work hard, and truly care about the what they build, and the customers they interact with. The understanding enthusiasm and expertise that Custom Solar brought to the project has been a pleasure.

We worked with Custom Solar five years ago while our house was undergoing a major renovation. They produced a clean design, and gave us a couple of options to choose from. They were very willing to work with our sub contractors, and meet our crazy schedule, even on short notice. Once we moved in we were super happy with the system. Unfortunately, within a year, our inverter was showing an error message, and the panels stopped producing. Custom sent out service people to get it running again. Whatever they did, it would fix the system for a couple of months, and then the system would go down again

11/19/18 update: My recent experience with Custom Solar has changed for the better. They were very responsive and set expectations with me when re-installing the panels after a roof repair. The squirrel guard has been installed and we now have a quote for a snow rail. I'm now happy with the level of customer support I'm receiving from Custom Solar.
original: I have had nothing but headaches working with Custom Solar. They installed panels 6 months ago and are now impossible to get ahold of. Custom Solar promised to add squirrel guard after installation and I'm still waiting for this. They do not

Three years ago we contracted with Custom Solar to install a solar thermal system in our home for heating our hot water. We were extremely pleased with the entire process. We first met with the company's president, Willie Mein, to discuss how the entire system operates, as-well-as details about the different components of the system. Willie invested quite a bit of time, including climbing around on our roof, to create a custom design for our particular home. The installation of the system was quite an undertaking but the installers accomplished it in a timely and professional manner.

Custom Solar installed a tankless water heater for our home. We'd asked a few different contractors for quotes and found that Custom Solar's quote was competitive. The installer was professsional, thorough, and organized. Custom Solar arrived on time to do the job, and the work was completed on the day they expected to finish. The work easily passed inspection and we've had many compliments on how nicely the water heater was installed from friends and neighbors.
I would definitely recommend this company to others.
