Our Reviews

As a locally owned company, one of the things that brings us the most joy is the relationships we’ve built over the years serving our neighbors.

Here are a few of the good things they’ve had to say about us. (Taken from over 100 five-star Google reviews.)

Blair Hodgdon ★★★★★

“Awesome service and extremely fair pricing! They will help you get connected with a great lender. My payment is an average of what my PG&E bill was and I know it will never go up, unlike PG&E's rates.”

Matt Goss ★★★★★

“Top Hat was the most competitive, honest and transparent with their bid. The entire process from start to finish was a breeze.”

Mike LePere ★★★★★

“Top Hat’s customer service won us over. The entire staff was very receptive, professional and patient with our multitude of questions. The install crew was top notch. They were very communicative in addition to keeping and leaving our place very clean. A total recommend.”

Mary Ocasion ★★★★★

“After 12 years of shopping for a solar system, we found Top Hat Energy, at the recommendation of our neighbors. We now enjoy much lower PG & E bills and feel good that we are using energy from the sun to run our organic farm.”

John Rochfort ★★★★★

“The best word to describe Top Hat is honest! They were great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. We've had our solar for almost two years now and have not had an energy bill since.”

Practical Civil Guy ★★★★★

“Professional team, best price in the north state, full service start to end, and would definitely recommend to friends and family.”

Tom Allen ★★★★★

“My solar installation experience was great. We had a couple days setback due to some extremely rocky soil… engineering was handled quickly and we were back to it within days. I love my ground-mounted system and especially love my bills.”

Charlene Bucey ★★★★★

“We talked with several different solar companies about our needs, checked reviews and found that Top Hat surpassed all others. The process was quick from planning to permits to installation. The staff was very helpful, polite and professional. We are very happy with our solar system and would highly recommend Top Hat Energy for your solar!”

Becky Erickson ★★★★★

“Top Hat was outstanding in their service and knowledge. I shopped around for 6 months before choosing them. They use high quality panels and inverters and their crew did a great install of 42 panels on my home, at a good price. For service, the entire crew at Top Hat has been very quick to provide solutions and answers to any questions we have had. We have returned to them for a fireplace insert install, and have plans to do a generator install in the future.”

Justin Jones ★★★★★

“I couldn't be happier with the guys at Top Hat! I've already recommended them to my family and clients (and their bid was $10,000 less than the other bids they were getting). If your looking for solar, look no further!”

Nathan Hawley ★★★★★

“Top Hat Energy did a fantastic job with our solar installations. I had three separate home systems installed, each different in complexity and design. Each project was completed quickly and on time, the job sites were kept clean and tidy, and the work was done in an extremely professional manner. They went above and beyond in every way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend using Top Hat for your solar needs.”

Amy Baldwin ★★★★★

“The system has far exceeded our expectations. The installation crew from Top Hat was very professional and skilled. This year we decided to install a standby generator and selected Top Hat Energy once again. The installation was completed a month ago with the same level of professionalism and skill… thank you Top Hat!”

Starla Crowle ★★★★★

“They are a family owned business with a great reputation and very fair pricing. They did everything they said they would do and on time. Very professional job that has worked perfectly now for 2 years without one problem. Thank you Top Hat for doing an excellent job! If I could rate 10 stars I would.”

Eileen Bobich ★★★★★

“When my house was rebuilt after the CARR fire, I chose Top Hat for my solar needs. Their staff were wonderful. All were professional and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommended them to anyone, and I have recommended them to friends.”

Steve McCollum ★★★★★

“They installed a system on my house and couldn't be more satisfied with Top Hat. Everyone from management to the least senior laborer is knowledgeable, respectful, and just all around good people. They also set up RVs for solar and carry a whole line of wood stoves. Great company! I have and will continue recommending Top Hat Energy.”

Joel Arthur ★★★★★

“We have used Top Hat Energy to purchase 4 off grid solar systems. I had no experience with solar, and they were super helpful, responsive and knowledgeable in getting us set up and producing power. We have been operating these systems for about 5 years now and they have performed flawlessly. This is a family run business and I highly recommend that you consider working with them for your grid tied and off grid solar needs.”
