American Array Solar Electric

American Array Solar Electric works as electricians out of Livermore, California. They handle residential solar projects that include panel design and layout, battery additions to existing setups, permitting, and full installation. Reviewers mention specific team members like Oleh, Md Alam, and Omar Ibal who handled sales, project management, and on-site work for these jobs. The company takes on projects that stretch over multiple years when customers face house expansions, remodels, and shifting timelines for things like NEM 2.0 deadlines.

Customers describe solar installs where the roof and home layout existed only in drawings at the start, with no past energy data to work from. One project ran from 2023 planning through a mid-2024 remodel before panels could go up, and the team adjusted the design to fit the new structure. Battery upgrades added packs to reach a total of three without interrupting the existing system. Another customer had the full solar setup running for five years straight with no problems after design, permits, and construction wrapped up.

They keep projects on schedule even when customers ask repeated questions or make changes, and they answer those questions before, during, and after the work finishes. Communication stays clear on costs, potential extras, and next steps from the first meeting through final turn-on. The crew shows up on time for appointments, finishes permitting without holdups, and leaves the site organized and clean. Reviewers note that requests get handled exactly as asked and that the team stays transparent throughout.

“I had a complex, risky solar residential project spanning multiple years and much uncertainty but I was lucky to find the right partner with American Array. Let me tell you what I had to deal with and how American Array helped. - Project started in 2023 to get into grandfathered NEM 2.0, but installation date was uncertain (at 1-2 years away). - House expansion (w/ additional roof) and remodel was planned, so solar installer needed to design solar panel layout and estimate electricity usage when new roof only existed in architecture drawings and no prior energy usage to estimate from. - House remodel did not start until mid-2024, so panels could not be installed until new roof was built in late 2024. - The home's electrical lines were underground, so trenching and conduit installation was required to replace the old 100A lines. This was a 1+ year timeline that required four PG&E inspections and lots of work. - Federal tax credit expiring end of 2025, so installation needed to be completed before 2026. Both American Array and I pushed PG&E very hard to get the inspections scheduled and clearly defined requirements, which you can imagine was not easy to deal with. I have friends who dealt with PG&E and there is no getting around their delays, no matter how much influence you have. Imagine having to deal with not one but four separate PG&E inspections! In the meantime I worked with American Array's electricians, panel installers and project managers. Everyone was friendly to deal with, answered my many questions throughout the process. It is nice dealing with real human beings who care about the quality of their work, so thank you. I specifically want to thank Mary from American Array who worked tirelessly on my behalf to get this project done. I really do appreciate your efforts and I hope you see this review!!”

“American Array did a really great job on my solar project. The whole project was completed on time, and honestly some of the delays during the process were probably because of me - I asked a lot of questions because I wanted to understand everything clearly before moving forward. What I appreciated most was their patience. They took the time to answer all of my questions before, during, and even after the project was finished. I had a lot of them, and they were always respectful, helpful, and willing to explain things. They also handled all of my requests exactly the way I wanted. Nothing was ignored, and I always felt like they were actually listening to what was important to me. The quality of the work was excellent. Their team was professional, organized, and the installation looks very clean. I also compared quotes from about 7 different solar companies, and American Array ended up being the best combination of reasonable price, clear communication, and solid technical answers. Special thanks to Alam - he was incredibly patient with all of my questions, explained everything clearly, and was very helpful during the whole design/decision process. In the end, the system is working even better than I expected on paper, which is the best result I could hope for. I’m very happy I chose them and would definitely recommend them.”

“I had a great experience with American Array Solar and Roofing. From day one, Md Alam was extremely helpful, transparent, and professional. He clearly broke down all the costs and was upfront about any potential additional expenses, which I really appreciated. The entire process was smooth—from initial design and permitting to final installation. Everything was handled efficiently and on time, and the team kept me informed at every step. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed quickly and thoroughly. What stood out the most was their attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to customer satisfaction. The installation team was professional, punctual, and ensured everything was done right. Overall, a very seamless and stress-free experience. I highly recommend American Array Solar and Roofing, especially if you get a chance to work with Md Alam.”

“I had a battery upgrade. Adding 1 battery pack to an existing 2 battery packs making a total of 3. American Array Solar communicated well and kept their appointments on time. The installation, permitting and turn on went off without any issues. Thanks American Solar”

“Omar Ibal from American Array Solar was my sales agent and he also acted as a project manager for my solar residential project. I have had the system running smoothly for 5 years with no issues whatsoever. I totally recommend American Array Solar to anyone wishing to reduce their electricity bill and wishing to work with a respectable and knowledgeable partner. They took care of everything, from the design to the permits, and their construction crew worked professionally, on time, and left the site well cleaned and organized.”
