Solar experience spanning residential to commercial-scale.

"CleanFactor recently did a solar installation for us in Sonoma, where we use a lot of electricity. His proposal in Sonoma was very transparent as to the cost / benefit analysis. The quality of the installation was exceptional. The operation of the panels for the past six months is flawless. The tax incentives were substantial, as well as reducing our usage."
