American Array Solar Electric

American Array Solar Electric takes on solar and roofing jobs from their base in Livermore. They cover residential commercial and industrial work across California from five locations in the state. Services include panel installs on homes and businesses along with carports ground mounted setups battery backup and off grid systems. The company also handles roof replacements using composition shingles tiles flat roofs and metal.

Homeowners describe full solar and roof combinations where crews like those led by Miguel handled the physical work while Adam sorted post install glitches and inspector problems. Battery upgrades and panel removals came up too with teams showing up on schedule and finishing without extra surprises. Omar and Lorena handled sales and coordination on some projects that wrapped with clear terms and no added costs beyond the original agreement. One job needed help fitting panels around a remodel timeline and another fixed a warranty part through quick dispatch.

They work across the state and keep appointments in most cases while answering questions on design and permits. Pricing gets described as competitive and direct with financing options for combined roof and solar jobs. Service reaches areas like Manteca Fresno Chatsworth and Bakersfield and crews manage electrical panel work along with Enphase and Panasonic equipment. Some projects hit delays on engineering reviews or permit steps but follow up from staff like Adam kept things moving after the fact.

The provided reviews lean toward five stars with repeated notes on installation quality responsive help from Adam and straightforward dealings though a couple point out project management gaps that added time. Google shows a 4.6 rating.

“I started a project with AAR in June 2025, installed with PTO in November 2025. I did not have a good time. The project took months to go from contract to permit, for multiple reasons. The outsourced engineering review insisted on changes (with extra cost) to the previously agreed upon design contract. They cited PGE constraints related to the gas meter, and refused to re-review despite me showing the identical set up working on an identical home next door. That immediately took me up $600 and significantly worsened the design of my system. Then the team wouldn’t final the permit application itself for ages Then I got another add on charge for a battery disconnect, which should have been included. Then I had to beg them to send in the designs to my AHJ so we could proceed. Then my install crew finally scheduled, didn’t finish what ended up being a 3 day job in the 1 day they were scheduled for, and ghosted me on and off for weeks to reschedule for the next step. Finally, at final sign off, another upcharge for where they placed the battery per the designs that had always been known and could have been closer In the end, I spent nearly as much as an easier local installer wou”

“I had a great experience working with American Array Solar for my solar panel and roofing installation. Lorena, Omar, and the entire team did a fantastic job throughout the process. They provided great pricing with clear terms and no hidden fees. Despite a bit of initial back-and-forth, everything was handled professionally, and the final quality of work was top-notch. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable solar or roofing services!”

“Outstanding Experience with American Array Solar! I had a great experience working with American Array Solar for our solar installation. Right from the start, I was impressed by their straightforward pricing and how clear and responsive they were in answering all of my questions about the process—no hidden fees or complicated sales games. I want to give a special acknowledgment to Adam, who provided above-and-beyond quality service throughout the entire project. When our local city inspector started being exceptionally difficult and throwing up unexpected roadblocks, Adam stepped up without hesitation. He put in significant extra time and effort to resolve every issue directly and get everything pushed through to completion. If you are looking for an honest solar company with a team that truly fights for its customers, I highly recommend American Array Solar—and ask for Adam!”

“I hired the company for the removal of solar panels. The technicians were very professional and punctual. They were reasonably priced. It was very easy to communicate with Adam and schedule the service. I would highly recommend the company.”

“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 wh”

“I had my solar installed in Dec 2025. The team did a great job in ensuring it got installed and approved in time (before calendar year end). Dinging one star for project management gaps during install. I have a special call out for Adam whose post-implementation support was exemplary. He ensured small glitches that came after the install, were handled to my satisfaction. Really delightful experience”

“We can gladly provide American Array Solar and Roofing with our highest recommendation. It has extensive experience in roofing and also has skilled licensed electricians which we found to be very valuable for our solar project. Everyone American Array Solar and Roofing sent to our house was on time, skilled, qualified for what they were doing, hardworking and a pleasure to deal with. Likewise for the back office and other support staff. Lastly and importantly, compared to other companies we talk to American Array Solar and Roofing was also cost effective and high value. Again, we can highly recommend American Array Solar and Roofing.”

“I am mystified by the other good reviews, but happy for those folks. We had a pretty rough experience. The actual people doing the work (roofer, electrician) were solid and nice, but the project management was terrible. Bumped up from one star to two stars for the actual roof installation because it was fine, but seriously we thought about going to BBB or small claims court about the mgmt team. It honestly would have been so much easier to just manage ourselves; their management folks just were adding confusion, misinformation, and huge delays. They were wonderful while selling us, and then once our deposit was paid were unresponsive for long stretches despite repeated reach outs, and then finally gave mixed confusing responses about canceling our project (and then not canceling? and then unclear reasons, cancelling again, and then finally offering to do the project? ). They ended up delaying TWO+ MONTHS and costing us any chance of getting the federal rebate. In the end the mgmt team had figured out almost no new information, but had cost us so much time and stress that we stopped the project so we could switch to another company. On top of that a fair number of their emails wer”

“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 wo”

“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”

“We have had an American Array solar system for 4.5 years and could not be happier. Their sizing and design of the system was the best fit of all the bids we received; and their price point was highly competitive as well. This year we ran into a warranty issue with one of the components in the system. I worked closely with Adam to troubleshoot the issue and his team was dispatched promptly to swap out another company's equipment when the problem was identified. AA was proactive in helping us get running smoothly again in a "customer service" practice I wish was more standard.”

“Very responsive and proactive company. They got all work done without needing me to follow up. Worked with Adam (engineering), Alam (Sales). I am under the impression that they do not subcontract as well. Overall good experience. Notes: Enphase system, no ppa. Was not charged (did not apply to me) but be aware that there are extra charges for steep roof angle, battery distance (>3 ft) from main pane, etc.”

“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.”

“Great experience with American Array Solar! Adam was extremely professional, honest, and helpful from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The installation was done on time and the quality of work was excellent. I really appreciate Adam’s customer service and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable solar company!”

“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.”

“American Solar Array absolutely deserves a 5-star rating! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solar and roof installation company. I recently had my roof and solar panels installed in October and December 2025, and the entire experience was fantastic. The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided above-and-beyond support. Adam, in particular, was fantastic—he guided me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and ensured everything went smoothly and stress-free. Their punctuality, attention to detail, and professionalism were outstanding. The crew worked efficiently and left everything clean when they were finished. Choosing American Solar Array was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my home energy needs!”

“I was referred to Adam Khan of American Array Solar by a friend and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Adam was thorough, transparent, and professional, and he accelerated the project so it was completed well before the December 31st tax credit deadline. He also handled permitting for a previously installed EV charger that didn’t meet city code. Highly recommend Adam and his team for any solar installation needs.”

“I was initially concerned about installing solar panels due to the fact many people I knew had leaks in their roofs from the installation. American Array Solar assured me from start to finish that they would treat my roof and my home as if it was their very own. They did not disappoint one bit! They guided me through the entire process and patiently walk me through the entire experience. After signing the contract, they continued to surprise me with their expert team of experienced installers. The installers were courteous and professional, but most of all they showed respect for my home and my family. Miguel and his team of installers were great! Mary at the main office was very quick to reply and worked out scheduling the install around my schedule and not theirs. American Array Solar operates like a family run business that really takes pride in serving their customers. They are dedicated and respectful and continue to amaze me. I'm looking forward many years of free electricity with the comfort and security that my roof will be doing its job for years to come.”

“I am extremely happy with the system and service from American array solar.Right from the quote process, to explaining what happens when, seamless installation to the PGE approval process they were on top of things.I have referred my friend after my experience and he has a system as well. Adam has been there for me from the beginning. Recently I had an issue because of the storm and he was very proactive in sending a technician and getting the issue resolved immediately! Adam also followed up diligently to make sure there were no further issues. I highly recommend American array solar.”

“I found American Array searching online and I was surprised how their quote for a 4kw solar system was already a much better deal compared to everything I had received. Then they brought a great financing option and executed the project really fast and with high efficiency and quality. My experience was great and therefore recommend American Array.”
