Installation Costs and Process

Costs

The average cost of solar panels in California is between $3.00 and $5.00 per watt. This means that a solar system that is 5 kilowatts in size would generally cost between $15,000 – $25,000 to install. Redding Solar Solutions does not advertise a specific cost for its solar installation since its system’s costs vary depending on factors such as the design, size, and materials used.

Once the Redding Solar Solutions team finalizes the solar system size, they also assist customers find the best financing option. The company says that generally, customers pay less for monthly finance payments on the solar system than the past utility bills. They also educate homeowners and businesses on how solar systems help them save money on their bills and how they can benefit from tax credits.

While there is no costing information readily available for Redding Solar Solutions, there have been a few previous customers that mentioned the company to be affordable.

When we reached out to the Redding Solar Solutions team enquiring about the price, they said:

Legitimacy

Redding Solar Solutions possesses the minimum requirements to be considered a legitimate company:

Although Redding Solar Solutions was founded in 2014, the company does not display any of the accreditations that we typically look for in solar companies, such as a BBB accreditation and NABCEP certification. Due to the lack of information online in this regard, we will have to assume that the company does not possess these accreditations.

Maintenance

Redding Solar Solutions’ solar systems come with a 5-year roof leak prevention warranty, a 10-year workmanship warranty, and a 25-year equipment warranty, ensuring enhanced long-term performance and peace of mind.

It should be noted that the roof leak prevention and workmanship warranties are somewhat shorter than several of the company’s competitors.

Redding Solar Solutions provides the solar system with the MyEnlighten monitoring program, which helps you analyze how much solar power the system generates daily. The company’s team educates you on the features of this monitoring system so that you easily understand the technicalities and ensure that your system is always operating optimally.

The company claims to provide quality maintenance services after the panel installation. If customers detect any problems in their system, they can reach Redding Solar Solutions for support. However, the company has not received enough customer reviews for us to verify how good they are at fulfilling their promises. 

The SolarEmpower View

Redding Solar Solutions meets the requirements to be considered as a legitimate solar installer in California; however, the company’s lack of accreditation does ring a few alarm bells for us. We advise that potential customers compare them with larger or more established companies in the area before making a final decision.
