About Save a Lot Solar
Save a Lot Solar serves Berkeley and the broader East Bay area with solar energy system installation and battery backup solutions. With 46 customer reviews holding a 4.8-star average, this contractor has built a steady reputation for residential solar work. The company handles solar panel arrays and backup battery installations, managing the permitting process with local authorities and utility companies including PG&E.
What distinguishes Save a Lot Solar from competitors is their design flexibility and comprehensive project handling. Reviewers note the company provided more battery storage capacity and more power generation than comparable bids, even at middle-range pricing. The team handles HOA documentation and interfaces directly with both municipal inspectors and utility providers, taking the guesswork out of the installation process for homeowners.
Customer reviews describe specific positive experiences with project coordination. One Berkeley-area homeowner noted the team delivered HOA-required documents within three weeks of contract signing and completed a two-day installation with minimal disruption. Another customer described how the company handled an unrelated electrical panel upgrade when their insurance company required it, demonstrating willingness to assist with broader home electrical needs beyond strictly solar work.
What Customers Say
All three detailed reviews award 5 stars, with customers specifically praising the company's design flexibility, competitive pricing despite offering more equipment, and hands-on project management from initial estimate through final inspection.
