BEWARE this company is all about the sale. They will sell to anyone including the elderly and demented. They don’t respond to requests for help. I asked them many times not to sell to my husband because he had dementia but they ignored me. I told the salesman I would not sign and I didn’t. It didn’t matter. It was installed when I was gone. Now my husband is in long term memory care facility, doesn’t remember doing this and I’m stuck with a $295 bill each month for?? My husband insisted the roof was free. I didn’t believe that but no one would verify. I have no contract that I can find so I don’t even know how long I’ll be paying and for what? Roof? Panels? My utility bill hasn’t changed. It’s still $350 a month plus the $295. Please be careful dealing with these people!!

Recently had a solar job installed at my house by the Ilum solar team. Very easy process when it comes to picking the solar system. Pretty much just needed an inspection of my roof and my previous PG& E bills. Had a new roof and some electrical upgrades done to my breaker panel as well. Very convenient to get it all done with one company. Would highly recommend to anyone looking at getting solar.

I originally was going to go with a different solar company. However, they were taking 3 months to have an install completed and I needed this done asap. I got in contact with Ben at Ilum Solar and said they could start the project asap. Thanks to him and his company I was able to have my solar installed in time to meet the deadline. Thank you Ben for all of your help with this project! Looking forward to working with your company on our upcoming projects!

We had a great experience with Ilum Solar. The installation was fast and the system looks great, really professional job. I went out for 5 quotes from companies here in Sacramento and Tyler Thomason's quote was the most professionally formatted and had the best $/kWh price.

Absolutely fantastic company. I rarely write reviews unless it's truly warranted; and, in in this case, it definitely is with Ilum. I reached out to Ilum and Robert Dean got back to me in a matter of minutes. I'd consider myself someone who has enough knowledge to be dangerous when it comes to solar... I have had many companies quote me a system setup over the years. Additionally, I had been doing copious research on DIY and wholesale kits, as I couldn't fathom paying the typical high markup that most of the big name solar companies charge for on the system array let alone the install. Not only did Robert answer all of my questions about building an array (pros and cons of certain manufacturers, inverter vs. micro-inverters, installation time-frames, etc.), he also had a great referral who was competitive in their offering for a specific array setup I was looking for. I had a 6.9 KW system delivered to my house in no time (Robert even offered to have it delivered to their warehouse in case I didn't want it to take up space in the garage - talk about great service!). Shortly thereafter, the Ilum crew came to install it - which - literally took 1.5 days. That was unreal! The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, didn't cut any corners. My dog, Bruno, even became their best friend when I would come out to check-in with the crew throughout the day. Robert kept me well-informed on the permit process and all of the next steps from beginning to end. They even offered to paint the piping conduit the trim color of my house at no charge. Impressive, to say the least. It's rare to find a solar company that is as open and honest as Ilum is. I am incredibly please by the price, quality, and speed in which they operate. You can tell the whole team takes pride in what they do and the work shows. I'm a customer for life and will be referring my family and friends to the Ilum team. Thanks so very much, again, Robert and crew! -Matthew
