Had a great experience in getting my solar installation done via HCI. Ok so here are the steps for all would-be solar buyers: 1. determine your«needs»… basically look at 12 month past history of electricity usage 2. contact LOTS of installers 3. compare quotes only after they come to your home and provide a proper quote and project timelines (throw out the cheap internet ones since they are just looking at a google view of your house and you may not get a qood quality install since its sub-contracted out or items maybe added later on once you are committed) HCI solar was great to work with. Anthony and Jose came multiple times to my house. though initially they were high in price, once they understood my needs better, they tweaked their quote quickly to become very competitive (not cheapest, but i felt they did the best job of explaining the process, were meticulous with their project work and honored their timelines) they have very good installers who did the whole job within a day. whole process incl. signing, permitting, installation, final checks might take a month or so. definitely get a quote from them and tell them Andy from Sunnyvale sent you.
