This was a great team. My project had been started by a company that did not complete the work and went out of business. Michael and Sun came in and cleaned it up. Everything is working beautifully, registering with power company complete. Thank you, what a reliefPosted on GoogleMelissa Wilde104 days agoWilliam Schock and the folks at Michael & Sun Solar are phenomenal. I was referred to them on a recommendation, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service and attention we received. William guided us through the process of financing with the Sonoma County Energy Independence Program. He was extremely knowledgeable and is a top-notch professional! You will be in good hands with Michael & Sun!Posted on GoogleSusan Larson109 days agoIf you are considering solar and other related services, don't walk ..RUN to Michael & Sun Solar in Graton, CA. :) You will be working with people of the highest integrity; and that, unfortunately, is not always true in the solar business. We worked directly with the owner Michael and William Shock who patiently walked with us every step of the way in the process, including advising us when we applied for a SCEIP loan. And when we needed an adjustment to the design to maximize our solar collection, they came up with a plan and made that correction as part of our contract price. You will definitely get what you pay for: expert guidance in designing the system, top of the line solar panels and batteries, quality installation, and the integrity to stay the course until the system is up and running perfectly!! We couldn't be more pleased!!Posted on GoogleAlexander Niehenke209 days agoThese folks are fantastic, fair, and thorough. I got quotes from multiple solar installers, and this one just felt right. Wasn't trying to sell me financing or any other scams. In fact, the payback on the system ended up being on the edge, and the team really pushed me to consider whether I wanted the system. It's rare to find honest people these days.Posted on YelpAlexander N.210 days agoFantastic, incredibly fair, professional. I would recommended these folks to anyone and everyone else. Locally owned, no gimmicks.Posted on GoogleDavid Berman212 days agoMichael & Sun was recommended by two of our friends, and after getting 3 quotes we decided to use them as well. From the beginning we were impressed by the professionalism of the M&S team. They listened carefully to our needs both present and future, came up with a proposal which we tweaked several times, and were always available with a quick response (both pre and post-installation) when we had questions or concerns. We were facing a tight year-end deadline, and all timelines were met on schedule. Special shout out to William and Michael who were a pleasure to deal with. Our friends were right, we absolutely recommend going with Michael & Sun Solar!Posted on YelpSue B.216 days agoAmazing product support and service. We are very happy with our solar installation and price.Posted on YelpTammy B.496 days agoSo, we're picky. And Michael and Sun's team surpassed our expectations at every turn. No one wants surprises when doing this type of project and we didn't have one surprise. What they promised, they delivered. Their communication was excellent from beginning to end and it is like a well oiled machine. Except with really nice humans. We compared pricing and product from several vendors and we're so glad we selected Michael & Sun. Our installation was completed December of 2024 and we've been so happy to reap the benefits of Solar and solar backup. We no longer flinch when the power goes out in our rural location!Posted on YelpWalt M.501 days agoWe are 1 year in on our 2024 solar installation from Michael & Sun. We couldn't be happier with the system. It has worked flawlessly and reduced our PGE bill dramatically -- down to a few hundred dollars annually. M&S was super helpful on our install and handled all permits and etc. We put 24 panels on our roof which seems a lot but we have an electric car and you need a lot of panels to charge a car.Posted on YelpDebora F.1031 days agoMichael & Sun installed my solar panels two years ago. The process was seamless, it was done in one day. I've been very happy with my system for the last two years and the production of power for my home. They have great customer service.Posted on YelpDenise A.1045 days agoMichael and Sun did a great job installing our solar system. The communication was excellent. From the initial meeting they told us the time line and they stuck to it. It was worth the wait. I would highly recommend Michael and Sun.Posted on YelpPaul P.1243 days agoA well oiled machine. Every part of my experience was what you'd expect from an excellent company. Good job to all of you! Paul in NovatoPosted on YelpKristin H.1314 days agoWe had the best experience with Michael & Sun. They were so friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. We have followed up with some questions since the solar installation was finished, and they continue to be responsive and helpful. We even had a roof leak from the recent storms that we thought may have been related to the solar (it wasn't) and they were able to help us find an immediate solution. Hands down some of the best customer service we have ever experienced. I cannot recommend Michael & Sun enough!Posted on YelpMark B.1383 days agoI got three bids for my solar project, and the one from Michael & Sun stood out from the rest, both in terms of price and from the professionalism and knowledge of the people working there. It was an easy decision. And they installed the system on time (actually ahead of time) and as agreed to. It was a pleasure working with them every step of the way. I highly recommend them for your solar project.Posted on YelpJon G.1525 days agoMichael & Sun was fantastic throughout the whole process. Great communication. Always professional. Answered every question. The solar panels look great on our roof, and generate great results. I was impressed with the pre-install analysis and the final product is perfect. I highly recommend.Posted on YelpDave L.1592 days agoI rarely write reviews, but with the excellent service received from Michael and Sun Solar on a new PV system, I can't remain silent. From the beginning to the end, the project went so smoothly. This is a testament of the professionalism and attention to detail by everyone on Michael's team. Starting with Matt the design engineer, we were presented with items to consider in a clear manner allowing us to understand the trade offs and make choices that made sense for our situation. One example was the prediction of increased energy harvesting if nearby trees were trimmed or removed. Once a design proposal was agreed upon and signed, the project manager William took over communicating the installation details, PGE interaction, and project schedule with us. Even though the start date would be several months away Michael and Sun Solar came through and actually started the job early! Material was delivered the first day as William took inventory of the many components. The next day installers Brett and Sean and the owner Michael arrived along with the project manager William. It was impressive to watch Michael and his team discuss their installation plan then begin to execute. It really built my confidence in the quality of work that was about to begin. In two days Brett and Sean completed the install of a 28 panel 11kW system with Michael and William checking in on the progress occasionally. The panel layout looks great on my shop roof and the interior wiring is cleanly routed as well. A couple days after installation the system was inspected and passed. But it did take a few more days to receive permission to operate from PGE. It's been on the grid now for about 2 weeks and performing as predicted. I've never had such a smooth experience with a company before. Hats off to the team at Michael and Sun Solar!! Highly recommended.Posted on YelpC. M.1606 days agoMichael & Sun Solar made the process of purchasing solar a breeze! Professional, responsive and efficient from beginning to end. We were provided with easy to understand proposals and all of our (many) questions were answered thoroughly. We got multiple bids and are so happy we chose Michael & Sun. Highly recommend!Posted on YelpJoseph M.1609 days agoOur experience with Michael and Sun Solar was great. Matt was super helpful in creating a model for our system and showing us what we could expect from our potential array given our roof and home orientation. The proposal they created was clear and stepped through all phases of the project. We got multiple bids on our project and Michael & Sons was the best on price and timing. The job itself was silky smooth. Amazing how quickly the panels and related equipment went in. The team helped us solve some tricky issues in connecting with our electrical panel and setting the system up for future energy storage. Overall, this was a great experience and Michael & Sun gets my highest recommendation.Posted on YelpDan B.2664 days agoI can't say enough good things about Michael and Sun Solar! After hearing presentations and getting proposals from Vivant and Sun Run, a friend told us about Michael and Sun. The sales rep, Ian Petrich, provided a very thorough analysis of our power usage and proposed a system that met our needs. They also provided no-down financing options at a reasonable rate. The entire sales process was low-pressure. The system was completely installed over two different days with no hassle at all. Just received our first PG&E bill and we're saving money already!Posted on YelpRobert J.2801 days agoMichael was extremely innovative in installing a charger from our solar set up. Trumped two others who would have been twice as expensive. Hats off.Posted on YelpBrad H.3228 days agoMichael and his coworker were fantastic. The equipment and design I wanted were a bit unusual, but he took it in stride and installed everything perfectly. Good communication. Good execution. I would definitely hire him again.Posted on YelpBecca L.3321 days agoMichael is great. Extremely knowledgeable, reliable, ethical and communicative. He takes great care of his clients. I recommend him without hesitation.Load more

“Michael & Sun Solar made solar installation quicker and easier than any other renovation we’ve made in the past ten years.”
Leslie, Sonoma, CA
“Michael really broke it all down and made it easy for us to understand, and helped us plan for the future with an expandable system in case we get an electric car. And when we spoke with competitors they could not beat the price. They were here and gone and we barely even noticed but they did a fabulous job. We heartily recommend Michael & Sun to anybody looking.”
Joe & Bridgett, Graton, CA
Michael & Sun Solar just installed a 20kW system at our house and did magnificent work. Michael and Matt are both engineers and do all the permitting, system design, and installation themselves. Very easy. They are also able to explain all the options and pros/cons of different panels, inverters, and locations. My electric meter starting running backwards literally the instant they turned on the panels the first time. I highly recommend them.
