Prior to the tear off for your new roof, Vasco will cap the lines to the panels (if they are thermal) or provide the disconnect (if they are electric) and then remove the panels.

Residential maintenance/upgrades can really be frustrating, all promises and no prompt, workmanlike, quality results, etc. Vasco is not that kind of contractor.
The crew showed up on time, as promised, and quickly went to work. I kept checking on the installation of the solar pool heating panels, mostly because watching the team work together was like watching a symphony. Everybody knew their job and worked in concert. The installation, which was significant, went off without a hitch. The attention to detail and aesthetics was outstanding. Jim & Kat L.

Vasco Solar was one of the best companies I have worked with, hands down.
Firstly, they gave me a very fair price for the installation of the solar panels for my pool. I am a newbie at all of this and was floored by how much work went into installation. Vasco Solar visited my property no less than 5 times at each stage of the installation of my pool at no additional charge!
There was one time for the quote, once for the installation of the piping and panels, and then a long break while we patiently waited for my pool company to finish with the plaster. They came out again at my request to put

Very pleased with the service, the system, installation and the follow-up. The pricing was reasonable. Everything from obtaining the estimate to the PTO (Permission to Operate) went as scheduled. Very professional. They assure me that they will maintain my system in the future. I have no doubt that they will follow up on this promise. I would unequivocally recommend Vasco Solar to anyone considering going to solar power. Victor Valenzuela (happy customer)

I heartily recommend Vasco Solar to anyone looking to add solar to their home. Richard, the owner, has years of experience and his knowledge is apparent from first meeting. No sales pressure or complicated cost analysis*, just straight, to the point information. From the moment I said, "do it" to the receipt of my PERMISSION to OPERATE from SCE, everything went like clockwork. All of his workers are excellent and well trained including the office staff. Great company. I also added a solar pool heating system at the same time and that is producing nice temperatures and should extend its

I was referred to Vasco Solar through a friend who had their solar pool panels install several years back. He has been extremely happy with the panels and the work performed by Vasco Solar. I reached out to them and they were always prompt at following up and addressing my concerns/questions. The owner came out and measured my roof and pool to determine the proper amount of panels (we ended up going with 14 panels total). Vasco was pretty backed up due to high demand but I was able to get an appointment booked about a month out.

Cannot say enough good things about our experience with Vasco. The team led by Justin was sooooo professional. They started early, were quiet and so very clean. Had to dig up a portion of our lawn for the piping and you would have sworn they never dug anything up at all- replaced as though it had never been disturbed. Everything was left probably cleaner than when they arrived. I must also acknowledge their team leader Justin He was so very knowledgeable and patient. We even video taped his instructions which has come in handy several times. I would give them 100 stars on a 10 point scale if I

This review is based on price, installation, the product and the Vasco owner and employees. I can't review warranty or support because I haven't needed anything (which is a good sign). The price for my pool solar was by far the best price out there. Installation was super fast, the project manager and the other guys were super nice and wore masks (even though they didn't have to outside). Rick the owner seems to be a honest, good guy and Lauren at the office is pleasant to deal with and very on top of responding. I can't remember the installers names (the people that really

Vasco Solar is the best! We had a system installed one month ago. Even in March we are getting 6-7 degrees per day. The pool is 76-78 in early April. Brice was easy to work with, the installation was completed on schedule, and so far has worked perfectly. Could not be happier!

Installed the solar panels August 2014, it was the best energy saving for our home
The price of the installation was fair & great
All installers were knowledgeable & skilful, project completed as schedule
Discovery First problem on energy production on March 4th 2021, requested service. Service scheduled next day. Technician arrived on time, problem solved. The issue was not caused by solar system, the main solar breaker was tripped due to lose circuit breaker.
I recommend Vasco solar co. As the best service company

Rick and his team at Vasco do wonderful work. I first used Vasco 20 years ago for a solar heating system for our pool. The system has worked flawlessly all these years and continues to work as expected.
My husband and I just purchased a new home. I spoke with two well respected contractors for their opinion on who is the best source for solar installation and upkeep. Both contractors said they only recommend going with Vasco. So it was a no-Brainer to again use them for my new home’s solar needs. This new project was for whole house solar to eliminate our Edison bill as well as providing solar

We have existing solar panels and wanted to have our roof updated. Our roofing company recommended Rick and the Vasco Solar crew. They did a great job coordinating with the roofing company to remove the panels the day before the reroof so we could generate as long as possible. Once roof passed inspection, they came out and put the panels back up. Very clean and efficient and easy to talk to guys. Job well done.

On 07/31/20 I sent out a Yelp inquiry to get solar panels removed and reinstalled after a new roof was to be put on our home. Rick responded the next day stating he would take a look at aerial photos of my home and get back to me with a quote. After waiting a couple of days for a quote, I went with another company and as of today (08/17/20), I've still not received a quote nor a call regarding this project. Guess there is was just not enough money in it for them to be bothered, I get that but a "hey, we won't do a small job like that" would have been fine instead of just ignoring

We used Vasco solar to install solar thermal heating for our pool and we have nothing but great things to say about them. Rick, the owner, personally came to walk the job site and was upfront about what was realistic for our situation and was able to deliver on a very competitive price. He was and Lauren were great on getting a timely estimate, site plan, and was available to answer any questions and concerns.

The Vasco Solar team showed up on time and hit the ground running. They were extremely professional and also took all of our installation concerns very seriously. They installed the pool heater with ease and we are able to enjoy the pool as we are supposed to. Next we will be thinking about getting a solar electric system from Vasco!
