Ben started his solar career in 2006 working inside sales with SolarCity in San Mateo. In 2008 was promoted to outside sales and moved to Arizona to help launch SolarCity's new office in Phoenix. 2 years later was re-located to San Diego. In 2011 he returned to where it all started working back in the San Mateo office.
We can identify how to go green and save money at the same time. We offer energy saving solutions like: solar, wind, energy storage, solar thermal, electric charging stations, LED lighting, and can create hybrid systems (wind, solar and storage). We offer full on-grid, off-grid systems, canopy or parking structure systems, solar tracking systems and zero energy home and business solutions.
Electricity costs are constantly rising. With your own solar system you can eliminate or reduce the amount of electricity you're using from your local utility company. When your solar system generates more electricity than what you're using, the power goes back on the utility grid. Your meter literally spins backwards!
If you have an electric car and need a home or business charging station contact us today! The NEMA 3R enclosure allows for indoor and outdoor installations and NEMA Type 4 allows for rain, sleet, snow, ice, dust, cold, and is heat resistant.
Wall Mount can either be hardwired for more permanent installations such as parking garages and public facilities, or plugged in to a NEMA 6-50 receptacle for simple removal of the unit in private or residential locations.

I engaged Ben Banash with Avatar Energy Solutions to install our solar energy system. I found Ben to be very competent and knowledgeable about solar energy systems. He educated me about our system and answered all the questions that I asked. Ben and his team installed my system in a timely and professional manner.

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love my solar. The whole process was excellent with Avatar, from beginning to end. In the last 10 days (days since PGE did the final approval), we have received $12 in energy credit from PGE instead of a bill.
If you are thinking about it, do not wait, regardless of the company you choose. The federal tax rebate has no cap, and is going away as follows:
30% for systems placed in service by 12/31/2019
26% for systems placed in service after 12/31/2019 and before 01/01/2021
22% for systems placed in service after 12/31/2020 and before 01/01/2022.

I've been on the fence about solar for a while; I finally decided to take the plunge in the new year. I came across this company while doing my research and am thoroughly satisfied with their work and professionalism. I really like the fact that this is a small business and Ben the owner pretty much lives in my community in Oakland. One of the reasons I've been putting this project off for so long is because I expected the whole experience to be similar to buying a used car or something - pushy sales tactics, shady deals, etc etc. As it turns out, the whole experience couldn't have

I just got solar with Avatar Energy Solutions and had a wonderful experience and wanted to share. I looked at about 6 different companies and every company had a different pitch. What sold me on Avatar was how easy the entire process was. Ben the owner came out to my house and did not try to sell me on why they offer the best solar panels or why they have the best finance option. Ben laid all the different options on the table. He explained the differences in solar panels and inverters. Most other companies only gave me 1 solar panel option and 1 or 2 finance options. Ben showed me 4 or 5 different

We moved into our house a year ago and always knew we would end up getting solar as we would have to use the ac in the summer months. After we got a $400 bill we knew it was finally time to get solar. We had pool solar on but It always seemed that the pool was not as warm as it should have been. We are so thankful that we found Ben because he got up on the roof and confirmed it. Our pool solar had been painted over when the past owners were getting ready to sell the house. Ben was able to not only help us to get solar but also was able to replace our pool solar. Ben checked around for the best

I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by Avatar Energy Solutions. Ben is extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous and friendly. He was able to answer all of my questions expediently and in great detail. I compared a couple different companies and Avatar was definitely the best deal for the solar system that I wanted. While dealing with Ben I felt very comfortable and did not feel pressured at all. When I finally made the decision, everything went smoothly and Ben was ready to help at every step of the process. The installation was extremely fast (4 hours!) and he stopped by to

Ben consulted with us when he was with SolarCity and to date is stands out as the BEST sales transaction we have ever had in our home. Ben set a high bar for his knowledge and professionalism and was extremely helpful in his ability to translate the value proposition of installing our solar array. He was concise and honest and we are extremely satisfied with the product and service he provided.
Based on my experience, I would offer my highest recommendation on behalf of Ben and his new firm.
