As especially webby specimens of solar nerds, we at 1BOG of course have our Google alerts set to hair trigger. When this post about 1BOG recently popped up in an online Nissan Leaf forum, we were anxious to hear what this group of particularly tech savvy early adopters would have to say about our approach. The thread started off pretty skeptical and actually ended up with one of the commenters getting a home evaluation through 1BOG. Here’s what he had to say:
The 1BOG/Heliopower guy impressed me. He did a preliminary survey my roof
the way I would have wanted to see it done and seemed more interested in creating
a system I wanted rather than what he had to sell. However, he also explained why
what he had to sell was the right choice for me, and I went away comfortable that
I would get a system I could be happy with.
The “other guy” (whose name and affiliation shall not be revealed, except maybe
privately) was all about the hard-sell and only interested in closing a deal. He did
not provide me with any of the knowledge a person would need to make an
educated decision. In fact, I was quite turned off by the whole experience. Therefore,
he and the company he works for are no longer under consideration. Not at any price.

It sounds like one of our Los Angeles community members is following our recommendation (and common sense) to get several quotes before purchasing his/her home solar array. In this case, the author says that a Heliopower (1BOG’s solar installer of choice in LA) representative came out to his house to conduct an on-site solar survey. During this visit, the representative took time to listen and explain how Heliopower could work with the homeowner to create a solar system that would work.
Of course, this is music to our ears! But then to top it all off, another person in the thread echoed similar praise for 1BOG and Heliopower – emphasizing that we helped make the process of going solar easy, educational, and personal.
