Why Choose Nexus Solar?
More so today then ever, mainstream America has become tired of rising and uncontrolled costs of electricity. Utility providers continue raising utility rates and seem unrelenting in their “the more you use, the more you pay” business practices. Seeking an alternative to expensive, poorly managed and outdated utility rate structures, thousands of families across the country have turned to Nexus to solve this fundamental inequity. As one of the first residential solar developers in California’s history (founded in 1978 as a custom home builder), Nexus remained dedicated to delivering the highest level of workmanship, best in class warranties and products, providing true value for its customers.
- 92% of solar companies have been installing solar for less than 5 years.
- Most solar companies today don’t have a construction background, nurturing a long tail of unsatisfied customers
- Less experienced installers outsource their installation, limiting the length and validity of their warranties & workmanship
- All the top 5 solar companies are publicly traded leasing companies who depend on constant rounds of funding to remain in business.
We anticipate that many more publicly-traded solar providers will continue to operate at a loss, compromising the integrity of their promise to their customers. This outlook only magnifies the prospect of increasing your home value with Nexus and our unique 25-year power production guarantee. You can rest easy knowing that our focus is on providing a lifetime of guaranteed home energy production. Nexus offers its customers the opportunity to OWN their solar, NOT LEASE. With no money out of pocket and often with no payments for the first year of their purchase, $1,000 bonuses for referring a friend or family member, 26% of system cost federal tax credit, Nexus has managed to turn solar into a revenue stream for its customers, fulfilling the goal of Mr. Rietkerk. By adding the most value in the industry for his customers, Nexus has grown to the company it is today and will fulfill its promise to its customers of the past, present and future. Solar & Battery power has become a safe haven for the average homeowner in the most uncertain times. When making the decision to choose the right contractor, choose bankability. Choose satisfaction.
Virtual or In-person Consultations
We recommend “in-person” consultations so that our senior consultants and partners are able to understand the full scope of your project from a “boots on the ground” approach. However, we are able to offer virtual consultation to those homeowners who prefer a lighter touch.
Aurora® Enterprise Custom Solar Design
Before we even meet with you, each Nexus Energy System is custom designed using industry-leading software that allows us to understand the uniqueness of your home and layout as well as your energy profile and needs. We wouldn’t trust anything less, and neither should you.
Our Guarantee
When considering the right contractor ask yourself – How long have they been in business? Can I trust the warranty? When it comes to Nexus, we provide the ultimate bankability. As the originators of the 25-year power production guarantee, each Nexus Energy System comes with a full end-to-end warranty and maintenance package ensuring that if anything ever goes wrong or your system isn’t performing as promised, you don’t pay a penny!
Our mission is simple:
To provide a cleaner and more affordable way to power your life. Choose Satisfaction.
Our Proccess
consultation
In order to determine which system is best for your specific needs, our knowledgeable team of solar consultants will sit down with you at your home and do an in-depth analysis of your current electrical usage. After listening to your specific objectives, examining your situation and doing a complete site evaluation, you will have the power to confidently choose which technology is best for you. In this stage, our primary goal is to help you realize what solar can do for you, address any budgetary or aesthetic concerns and decide whether you would like to further explore the possibility of going solar.
Permitting
Following the guidelines set out by the NEC (National Electric Code), our talented team of designers will create a solar system that not only fits your needs but those of your local building department as well. Prior to submitting for any permits, you will always have an opportunity for final approval. Once everything is a “go”, then the permit process should only take about 2-3 weeks. During this time period, we will also submit a reservation request for both your federal and state rebates, file the interconnect agreement with your utility company and order the materials required for your project.
Proposal
Each one of our proposals is hand-tailored to fit your specific home and lifestyle. We find the best solution to save you the maximum amount of money. The solar consultant will go over a comprehensive cash flow analysis, establish your BEP (breakeven point) and applicable rebates and incentives. Also covered will be the exact equipment specifications and preliminary design of your system. Once a decision has been made on your size of the system we will execute a contract that details the scope of work, contract and rebate amount, start date and interconnection requirements.
Installation
By now, an installation date has been established and a project timeline has been coordinated with your solar consultant. Once the panels have been delivered on-site, your project should begin within 24hrs. All of our crews are professional, clean-cut individuals that conduct themselves in a courteous and respectful manner. They show up on time, leave the work site clean and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the installation process. Depending on size and complexity a residential system should take about 2-5 day to complete the installation.
