Renewable USA

We have been completely satisfied with our solar system. It has made an amazing difference on our monthly electric bill. Marie Santos is an awesome representative with whom we have kept in touch with.

I had an 11.25kW system on my previous house and was very particular about who I selected to do my home in Orange County. I have a slate (not tile) roof and live in Corona Del Mar where my HOA can be a nightmare. After speaking with Nick, I knew he was the right person to do my install. I knew which modules and inverters I wanted used, Nick and his team were familiar with and had done installs with both. He not only dealt with my HOA, he took care of getting my neighbors to sign off on the plans. The install is one of the best I have ever seen. The conduit, breaker boxes, and all the electrical work are absolutely pro. I would highly recommend Renewable USA and would use them again in a heartbeat!

Renewable USA was great to work with through the whole process! I had a complicated job in which the panels would be mounted on the hill behind my house rather than my roof. After checking out the area, Nick was able to figure out the best solution to maximize my power generation and minimize my upfront cost. He explained everything in detail and provided a very competitive bid for the work. I had three other companies evaluate the job and Renewable USA was ~5% cheaper than the next lowest price and ~35% cheaper than the most expensive company. Nick also found a way to save about $ 2k on the install that other companies said wouldn’t work due to permitting rules — but he was right (no issue with permitting) and this saved a lot of time and money during the install. In addition to installing the solar system, they also replaced my pool filter with a more efficient model and replaced all my old light bulbs with much more efficient LED bulbs. My monthly electricity bill of around $ 1,000 has now been reduced to less than $ 20. They got through the whole permitting process quickly despite having to deal with both LA County and the Coastal Commission — not an easy task. Also, the installation went very smoothly and all the installers were super friendly (even when my dogs ate the sandwiches that they had brought for lunch on the first day). In addition, I had one of the LG panels crack a few months after installation and I called Nick to ask about warranty coverage. He said that he would handle everything and he had it swapped out for a new one within a couple days — the follow up from this company has been amazing! Since getting my system installed in January 2015, I have already recommended them to several friends, colleagues, and neighbors.

I operate out of a 30,000 sf production facility and needed better lighting. I kept on hearing about incentives for more efficient lighting solutions so I called Renewable USA for a quote. After meeting with them I realized I did not have to look any further for a company that would supply me with what I needed. In a few weeks I had efficient overhead lighting that have motion sensors in order to cut my energy bill. Since having the new lights my energy bill has gone down substantially each month. Highly recommend these guys.

I was recently referred to Renewable USA for a solar installation. I’m so glad we chose them! The process was really easy and they were very knowledgable (which was helpful since I’m a newbie with this stuff!). They listened to my needs and concerns, and walked me through the entire process. I felt very comfortable with the custom plan and our decision to move forward with it. I’m so happy we went with Renewable USA and would highly recommend to others! :-)

Wow! We are very pleased with the solar install and new pool pump. These guys are fantastic. We installed a 10.9 KW system on our 2900 sq/​ft home here in Rancho Cucamonga. Renewable usa had the most competitive price on the LG 300 watt panels we wanted. the install went on time, friendly crew, no mess. Crew accommodated my install requests no questions asked. Very professional. They use their own crew and do not hire a third party for the install. Brady and Nick were great to work with. Highly recommended.

Top of the line Equipment and Service!
Renewable Energy Advantage was 1 of 4 companies I had evaluate my $ 1200 monthly average job. All companies said it was impossible to eliminate more tan 40% of my bill with my roof space. Renewable Energy Advantage installed a modest solar system, but then did a detailed energy audit of my home and by addressing all my dated energy hogs and replacing with new efficient items with great warranties and was able to eliminate 85% of my bill. I am a huge believer in REA and amazed that all other companies said no and NIck with REA said no problem and came through on what he promised. Honest, initiative and intelligent solution. For solar select Renewable Energy Advantage, and best part they were apples to apples lowest price to boot!

REA made the process very simple and did exactly what they promised in a short timeframe. Price was lowest out of several quotes and service/​product were top notch. Couldn’t be happier with my solar system and produces better than expected. Would definitely recommend Renewable Energy Advantage to my friends and family!

I am President of a moderately sized sheet metal fabrication company in Pacoima, CA and struggle with competition every day. The only way to survive in this climate of business is to be the highest quality and lowest cost provider. We hired Renewable Energy Advantage to retrofit our lighting to take advantage of rebates offered by the state as well as to lower one of our indirect costs, the power bill. They came in and told us exactly what we should expect. Their team worked along side our people and changed out all of the lighting during work hours. We hardly knew they were here. When they completed their job, the difference in quality of light was amazing, and we didn’t have to clean up after them. How we could do such a high quality job beforehand had to add additional costs to the business, because the lighting was so much better when they got done. I am sure we are able to do things more efficient now, because we can see. Just like we were told, our power bill has been reduced and we are enjoying the fruit of their labor. When it was time for the audit to achieve the rebate, they handled the whole thing. I just know we received a sizable check in the mail that offset our installation costs approximately 50%. The payback on the balance was less than 18 months. This was a no brainer. Thank you Brady and Nick for the fine work your company did on our retrofit!

If I could give these guys 6 starts you bet your solar butt I would! I had them install solar panels on my roof. They were actually a referral from my friend’s ex-​wife (which normally I would ignore, but she scares me) — so I took a chance and I am glad I did! They were way more competitive on pricing than the other competition and more importantly were very clear upfront with the cost, savings, and overall process and timing. I talked to a few different companies and REA was definitely the most reliable. I actually went down to Candelaria’s office in San Clemente and the guy was eating a Chipotle burrito and spilling hot sauce all over my estimate. The place smelled like cat litter and overall they were not helpful at all (almost like they didn’t need my business). Also, I caught one of the guys walking out of the bathroom without washing his hands (not a big deal, but a pet peeve of mine).
Bottom line, if you want a competitive price, with excellent customer service, call Renewable Energy Advantage! REA made my day!

the guys at REA are pretty f@$kin awesome. Brady and Nick explained everything with no pressure. I had my solar panels and equipment installed by Clark who was cool as f@$k! (sorry for the F bombs but it’s just that I’m pretty excited about this!). saving money in the long run and setting an example for my son that we should all be a little greener. it’s a win-​win situation.
seriously though, these guys are very professional and super easy to work with. the whole process was painless! I suggest that anyone thinking about getting solar to get in contact with REA. GO GREEN, SAVE GREEN!

After our meeting with Nick and Brady, I was convinced that this was the solar electric company for us. They planned the custom system to maximize the number of panels on our roof. We needed it to be esthetic and hidden from view. The planning was meticulous and professional. They did all of the engineering and pulled the required permits promptly. The installation team was efficient and they completed the project on time and on budget.
The good news: 1. Our average $ 350 ($ 300-​$ 550) SCE bill for electrical generation, transmission, and tax charges are now $ 0. 2. Since the system went online in June 2013, we have received a monthly credit from SCE instead of a bill.
The entire project was focused on reducing/​eliminating electricity charges, and it was a total success!
A Very Satisfied Customer from OC!

OUTSTANDING SOLAR SYSTEM INSTALLATION + LED LIGHTING CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
Renewable Energy Advantage is the way to go when solar systems and to set-​up your home for energy efficiency LED lighting with maximum rewards (ie: huge savings seen on the next month after install was complete!)
We started our search for solar looking into a few such has solar city and verango solar.
However, the competition felt like they were selling us on a script not a custom solution and quality product for our home.
After meeting with Nick and Brady @REA we were able to complelty convert our home to maximum energy efficiency through Solar, Custom LED lighting, variable speed pool pumps and energy conservation air conditioning units.

Wow, These guys are the best! Great customer service, superb workmanship, much attention to detail, all that and competitive pricing as well. I couldn’t be happier.

Six months ago I installed a solar system with Brady Ryan and
Renewable Energy Advantage on my house in south Redondo Beach. I wanted to takeadvantage of the state and federal tax credits and I was concerned
about rising energy costs.
The whole process went like a breeze. Brady and his team of
professionals went beyond my expectations. His expert electrician
diagnosed and corrected a chronic electrical problem in the circuits
that had eluded 3 previous electricians. This was unrelated to the
solar project.
My previous electrical bill ranged from $ 450 to $ 500 per month. Now I
am getting a credit from So. Cal Edison of around $ 240. In 5
years I will have recovered the entire cost of the system.
Couldn’t be happier–
