Lots of companies have gotten into the solar industry only recently, and simply to chase what they think is a quick buck based on consumer demand for lowering their energy bill and get government rebates. Without much or any experience in solar specifically, they make mistakes. And they don't think long-term so they may not be around to make good on warranties leaving you stuck if there are problems.
So you want one with genuine expertise in solar technology, and a passion for energy efficiency which will sustain them for many years to come so that they'll be there if you need warrantied repairs years after the install. And years of specialized roofing experience is key too.
We found exactly that in Contra Costa County firm High Definition Solar in Concord CA which is operated by Tim Netherton, a contractor with over 1,000 solar installations to his credit, who runs this roofing and solar firm where all employees are motivated to reduce the energy bills of their customers including with the latest in new roofing and solar power, and that backs up their work with written warranties of 10 years on labor and 25 year manufacturer warranties. And readers of this Report calling now are getting a free energy assessment of their home or business on how to cut down their utility bill whether or not they get solar installed.
A Commitment To Saving Customers Money At High Definition Solar in Concord CA
Lots of contractors have jumped into solar only recently and don't have the necessary expertise in either solar or in roofing. That lack is critical because mistakes in solar installations usually come down to a contractor who doesn't know roofing like they should. High Definition Solar in Concord CA is one of the rare companies that offers the assurance of a track record in both solar and roofing expertise. Tim Netherton shares, "You definitely want an expert in solar technology. I've been the industry for over a decade and have done over a thousand solar installations. Plus we also have the roofing background and that's key because that allows us to do the solar installation right and is why we're able to give customers the written 10 year warranty that we do."
Tim Netherton credits the success of High Definition Solar to the dedication of its highly trained employees and their enthusiasm for customer service. "Our employees are what set us above other companies," says Tim. "Our people are proud to work here and excited to come in each day, which means a better end result for our customers. We're all able to take pride that we give everything we have to every single project for each customer."
And the example for that dedication is set at the top of High Definition Solar. President Tim Netherton is passionate about saving customers money by reducing their energy bills. He tells us, "People are hurting and I'm able to give them a way to add more freedom to their life, by putting more money in their pockets to buy groceries, allow their kid to play in a baseball league, or save for college. That's why I love what we do."
Tim Netherton lives in Concord CA with his wife Kelly and their two young children. He was born and raised here in Contra Costa County and gives back to the community in his off time, like when he and his employees did a Clean the Creek day, cleaning up litter in Walnut Creek. Friends describe Tim as determined, motivated, and a good dad. Customers of High Definition Solar say he truly cares about their best interests.
There's a lot to recommend High Definition Solar besides just their written warranty and dedicated staff. They offer American-made solar panels, have financing available for both residential and commercial customers, reduce your energy bills with solar electricity systems, and provide new roofing, all headed by President Tim Netherton with a passion for improving the lives of his customers by letting them keep more of their money each year.

High Definition Solar Capability Reviews
"I had Tim install 16 panels on my home and I can't say enough good things! I used to pay $375 a month on my electricity bill and now it's gone down to just $70! The workmanship was phenomenal and I would highly recommend Tim to anyone."
— Judy B., Concord CA
"Tim installed 12 panels for me and he did a great job. I was more than satisfied."
— Harvey B., Concord CA
"I was ready to get solar and had a good working knowledge.... we agreed on a deal for 12 panels. A planner came out a few days later, and a week after that, I had a roof full of cells generating electricity. The installation teams backgrounds were as roofers, which was good. the work all looks top notch to me. ... perfectly happy with the work so far and the watts are flowing."
—Keith I., Pleasanton CA
"They installed my solar panels. Their service was thorough; they got the necessary permits from my city, and the installers were courteous and efficient while on site. The installation took one day. Since then I noticed, because of the unusual sunny weather, that I've been sending electricity to PG&E most of the day. My own dependence on PG&E for electricity has been reduced significantly."
—Mary M., Berkeley CA
"I bought a solar system...and was very pleased with the professionalism. It was as good as it gets! The installers were highly professional and clean. The job from start to finish took only 4 hours. They responded to my needs in a very timely fashion and worked out everything we needed. From start to finish, they met and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this company."
—Wayne A., San Francisco CA
"We wish to express how very pleased we are having done business with them. We recently had a seven panel solar system installed on our home. These are fantastic people to work with. They spent the time to explain the system and answered our questions. The people on the crew that did the installation are very efficient and do a neat and clean job. They are excellent craftsmen. We are very happy to recommend them if you are interested in installing a solar system."
—Leo H.
"My husband and I were extremely interested in not only going green but also in cutting our burgeoning energy costs. We looked for a company that supplied materials made in the United States and one that was located close by. Since the installation our energy costs have markedly decreased. Not all companies provide ongoing services regarding reports and questions. They do. At the same time we were making arrangements for solar panels, our furnace gave out. They helped us in finding the best company for a new furnace. We are so grateful and satisfied.
We would be remiss if the work ethic was not mentioned. The staff as well as the installers were informative, expeditious, efficient and respectful. My husband and I appreciate the excellent service afforded and would highly recommend them."
—Mrs Johnson, Pleasant Hill CA
"I talked to other people in the company, (including the long standing company president) and got my questions answered. I got the most number of Kwh production for the lowest price of every contractor I haggled with. I am a bit of a bulldog when it comes to contracts, so I took some time with this. I am very pleased with the system energy production (all completed as promised and results as promised). So I give them a great grade. They gave me the best deal and it is all completed and functioning very well."
—Sally M, Albany CA
