We offer qualified homeowners who want to install solar and/or energy storage systems 4.99% financing for 12 years. We do not lease solar equipment like some companies. All renewable energy solar panels systems and battery storage systems are qualified for the 26% federal income tax credit. You will receive the tax credit on your alternative energy installation when you file your taxes for the year the system was installed.
California is a great state for solar homeowners. California requires that PG&E gives credit at the rate of 1:1 for all surplus solar energy that is sent back to the grid. What this means is that during the day when the sun is shining and your solar panels are making tons of electricity, your house energy needs will be totally covered by solar, and any surplus will be exported to the grid for credit towards your electric bill.
Save a Lot Solar wants your business to thrive and save money while being environmentally friendly. We work with businesses and commercial property owners to reduce energy costs through conservation and energy production. We analyze electric consumption and make recommendations on energy saving techniques and show how going solar can benefit your business.

My husband likes to do a lot of research whenever we need to do work on the house. Save A Lot Solar provided the best price. But more than that, they were easy to work with and communicative once the date was scheduled. The install was completed in one day. Another staff person came a week later to handle the inspection. They took care of all the permitting and communication with PG&E. Less than 1 month after the installation, everything is set up with PG&E and we hope to start seeing the lower bills.

We checked several other businesses and felt that Save a Lot Solar gave us the clearest explanation of how things would work, what they could do for us and their timetable also worked for us too. The installation was professionally done within the time schedule promised. We were very impressed with how they safely handled our 3 story house without the expense of scaffolding. Additionally their crews were very personable and gave clear explanations of what they were doing. The follow up service answered all our questions and we are now happily using and feeding solar power to the utility. We never

They were fantastic from start to finish: from clear, extensive explanation of how the system would work and what it would cost; to on-time, efficient installation; to filing the necessary paperwork with the city and PG&E. Quick responses to all our questions. Nothing but good things to say about John and the entire operation of Save A Lot Solar.

Joe Sepharin helped to install 6 extra panels on my roof. I originally had 15, 345 Watt Panels installed in 2015, but this wasn't close to enough to match my energy usage (3200 sq ft multi-story home in San Mateo, CA that runs natural gas on everything possible, and I've switched ALL lights to LED. I do have a 4-ton AC that I use sparingly.) Joe very quickly responded to my request for this little project. It was difficult to find a contractor who would do a panel addition project but joe was happy to help. Joe got on the project ASAP and did it right the first time. He gets high grades

We waited a few months before writing our review. Everything was great with John and his team. Thank you Save a Lot Solar for making everything so easy. It was great working with the whole team. John and his team completed our solar installation at the end of February. The initial meeting with John was great. He was well prepared with the data for our home and had a "no sales" pitch. He gave us a lot of information and told us to do our research as well. He left the meeting telling us he will not call us and we can call him when we are ready. After reviewing our options, we signed with Save A Lot

I have been shopping around for solar for several years now.
There seems to be a lot of shady stuff going on in the solar world...
High pressure sales
Shell companies that are basically just salesmen who farm out your contract to god knows who,
Larger multi city general contracting firms with little local experience and rotating staff that are looking to capitalize on the solar market through some clever business model.
Then you have what I would consider the legitimate options:
A local, well managed and reputable solar shop.
Or one of the Big Name players like Sunrun or Tesla etc.

John and company did a hassle-free job. Signed up on-line, got scheduled a couple of months out as they were very busy, they showed up on the day they scheduled and finished the installation in 1 day. City inspectors came 3 days later and PG&E signed off early the following week. Absolutely a painless experience and at a good price using top-quality equipment. I would recommend them to anyone.

John had the lowest bid and highest rated equipment out of 5 bidders. Save a Lot Solar seems to have lower overhead than others bidders, since they are small and local to Oakland. The installation was performed in one day and they were very neat and considerate. Communications were clear and timely. All interactions with PG& E and the City was done by Save a Lot. All I had to do was write a check. The system installed is working great and it comes with an app that lets you monitor how much money you are saving in real time. We love it. Highly recommended.

It was almost too easy....all we really had to do was write the check.
We contacted Save a Lot Solar after getting a glowing review from a friend who’d recently used the company.
In our first meeting, John was informative, answered all our questions, understood the issues of our old house, and knew the local building codes.
They did the design, installation, permits, inspections, and PG&E connection.
Oh, and their price was in line with other bids we received.
