The Solar Bill Review Team!
“Working with Bill Gurgol was a breeze. They know what they’re are doing which makes it easy to deal with them. Thank you for your service”.
Timeline:
2019 – Added the first system to wipe out their previous PG&E electricity expenses.
2020- After having SOLAR for close to a couple years, they added a couple Tesla power wall batteries.
2022 Krishna and Mini decided to electrify their whole home eliminating all gas powered devices. They added heat pump, electric water heater and electric stove. At this time they added more solar panels to wipe out those new electricity expenses that would’ve been incurred by PG&E.
2025- We’ve been doing the normal yearly bill reviews ever since Krishna and Mini started being customers. In January, Krishna received his yearly invite to do the normal bill review. When we sat down together we recognize something didn’t look normal. The last two most recent bills both had delivery charges of $500 a month. Krishna has been paying his bills auto pay and did not recognize this to be an issue until we sat together. When we looked at it together, it was clear that something had changed with PG&E and we needed to call them. What we learned when we called them is that when Krishna upgraded his main electric panel in Fall 2024, somebody at PG&E changed his billing away from SOLAR, this was eliminating his solar credits that he should’ve been receiving for the energy that he had been creating. We looked back on it and we saw that the previous month before these bills, there was a credit of over $1000 that should’ve been applied. The good news is PG&E promised they’re going to fix this for the client. These are the types of proactive interactions you should expect when becoming a Solar Bill Review client. We’re always looking for ways to save your money and sometimes PG&E does make a mistake that we can fix.

This is my second time installing solar panels on a house and Solar Bill Review’s team is better than my previous experience in every way. From their first interaction and all the way through the installation and then beyond, they have been courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, understanding, and informative… any more adjectives I can think of? You get the idea.

Had a great experience with everyone involved in our solar installation, especially Adrian and Leah, but also the installers from Sunpower. Really appreciated SBR’s follow up a year later to go over the NEM billing which can be confusing. The recommended size was perfect and our true-up was just a little bit negative so we paid nothing beyond required monthly fees.

We had a great experience w/ Solar Bill Review! Adrian and the team were thoughtful, thorough, and ensured that we were properly supported. In reflection of the end-to-end process, the installation of our 28 panels was a low-lift and seamless process. Their communication was frequent during our project, and if we had any questions, they ensured it was addressed immediately. After installing our panels, they stayed in close contact to ensure we were satisfied. Furthermore, they scheduled time to review the solar functionality, which includes a PG&E bill overview. We will also meet next year to review the continued solar production and any NEW charges.
Keep up the great work, Solar Bill Review!

Solar Bill Review team has been an amazing partner with us in getting solar panels installed at home. I have had review sessions with a few more solar companies where the selling point is mostly about solar being the future / rebates and that in general it saves for costs in the long run (wisely used), they didn’t personalize the discussions that close to what this team did. A very clear process detailing the next steps, periodical communication throughout the phases, quick installation and guidances are a plus. Lastly, it doesn’t get over with just installation, rather they have periodic reviews 3 / 6 months down the line to ensure what was on the contract was something that is rightly getting delivered (so we get the right benefits as expected) and they also give ideas on how to best maximize on this investment to solar. Thank you Bill and team for your great work.

Thank you to Bill & the team for helping us understand how to manage our electricity, learn how to read the PG&E bills, and make sure that we don’t have surprises at true-up. Bill is very knowledgeable about solar panels, and he will give you the best suggestions on what you need for your home. Thank you so much for your service!

Bill G. and his team stay involved at every step of the project (including after install to help you maximize the positive outcomes of solar ongoing. This is a huge differentiator from competitors.) No need to look for any other vendor. I highly recommend the Solar Bill Review Team. Excited to go green and to see my solar energy savings.

Bill is an excellent professional and never pushed us to buy. He made himself available for any questions we have had and helped us understand how the entire solar energy is helpful for our household. You typically don’t find people like Bill in sales who would help support you post-install and still be a “friend”
I’m pleasantly impressed by Bill Gurgol’s professionalism, as well as knowledge about solar panels, solar energy, and how it makes sense (or not) for the customer to install panels. SunPower is the way to go and if you haven’t considered solar, just talk to Bill.

The team from Solar Bill Review not only designed a system that fits our production needs, but also made sure that it was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The installers were very friendly and professional. The installers ran the wiring through the attic space so that we do not have any unsightly conduit showing on the rooftop. The whole process from design to “permission to operate” was very fast and we were kept informed of every next step.
Bill continues to follow up and check in with us to make sure we fully understand how to read our new bill and make sure everything is running properly and optimized for best results. We love monitoring our panels to watch how much power they are producing. We are extremely happy with our choice to go solar with Bill Gurgol and the Solar Bill Review Team to guide us through what could have been a very scary process.
Thank you, Bill and the Solar Bill Review Team!

I did solar in both of my houses through Mr. Gurgol. Three years ago, I knew solar saves money, but I wasn’t sure how much it would save and how to maintain the system for 20-25 years myself. I’m also not sure if asSolar company would really help me to review and maintain the system as needed as promised. Mr. Gurgol was our discovery in the Home Depot. He came to meet me multiple times before and after the solar system was installed to make sure it worked and I understood the calculations. He even squeezed his time and called for a three-party meeting with my tenant to help my tenant understand the system and the bill calculations on SATURDAY before his son’s birthday party!!!!!!!!! 2018 is the third year. He texted me two weeks ago to schedule a yearly review and changed my usage rate to save even more!!! All his extra steps and efforts put my concern to bed and make me enjoy the savings with a worry-free solar system. From my experience, Mr. Gurgol sells the system and serves customers with his knowledge and heart!

Great service. I will recommend “Solar Bill Review” over any companies around. Their customer support is amazing. Follow-up calls on a quarterly basis to ensure we understand our bill and the variations. Overall, I am 1000% happy with their service. I never knew how to read my PG&E bill until Bill and Jon explained it to me. There is so much to learn which we overlook and end up paying more which can be avoided. Thank you Bill, Jon, and the entire team.

SunPower by the Solar Bill Review Team out of Rocklin, CA is a safe bet. Excellent customer service from start to finish. All-around great experience. Everyone I dealt with was responsive, courteous, efficient, and professional, particularly Jon Landsman. Great people make any business successful and they certainly make SunPower better. I definitely highly recommend them. They are simply outstanding. I certainly am very fortunate to have picked them.

Bill Gurgol knows his stuff. My wife and I installed solar at our home in Alamo. Bill helped us understand all the intricacies of the process and how the math really works. PG&E doesn’t make it easy, and the math behind selling surplus power back can be complicated. Bill not only showed us how that works, but he has also followed up two years in a row to sit with us to monitor and evaluate our consumption. He taught us how to best take advantage of peak and surplus pricing for both use and generation. Bill cares about his customers and we are extremely satisfied with his customer care over the years.

FINALLY – I could not be happier. After more than 4 years of study and consideration of rooftop solar and more than three competitive quotes, I finally moved from analysis to action with the help of Bill Gurgol. Unluckily for Bill, I had a LOT of questions and needed to understand how to balance my specific power needs compared to the “typical” solar buyer. I had high energy use from daily charging of my electric vehicle but was on the EV plan with PG&E so my overnight rates were $.11 kWh. It took some time to accurately map out my peak energy needs to optimize the best cost model. Bill took the time to make sure I had all the information I needed and the best system for my family needs. You will discover as I did that Bill is perhaps the most personable and professional seller you will ever meet. His patient and consultative manner were key in my decision to go with and recommend him to everyone exploring solar -even the reader of this recommendation. Bill has my cell number and he is free to give it to you if you want to ask me a question about my experience with Bill and/or Solar as you come to your personal decision.

If you want someone to answer any solar questions and explain the process including pros of SunPower, Jon is your man. He is patient and answered all my questions throughout the process. I never once felt pushed to make a decision. Jon lays out the facts and provides a very competitive quote. I like that SunPower is a one stop shop and all their products from the inverters to solar panels are SunPower brand and backed by their 25 year warranty. If something goes wrong I can go straight to SunPower rather than figuring out if the manufacture of the solar panels or the inverter is at fault.
SBR holds your hand throughout the pre install, installation, and permission to operate process. They emailed me often to keep me in the loop of the progress and timing of each stage. Shalyn is the best road warrior! She came to visit in person to provide paperwork and make sure each stage of the process went smoothly. Shalyn even brought small treats like cookies, chocolates, and SBR swag during her visits. During this age of non contact digital world, SBR was the complete opposite. I felt like they were there every step of the way as my advocate/middle man between SunPower and myself to get my system installed and up and running ASAP.
I am very happy with my experience with SBR that I also convinced my mom and other neighbors to go solar with them. They have a great referral program that rewards you for getting others to join the SBR/SunPower family. My block is now a SBR monopoly with 4 other homes signing with SBR too. Thanks again SBR for helping me get away from those large monthly PG&E bills and constant price increases! My return on investment will come quickly.

Excellent company to work with. Initially was going with Tesla Solar for it’s low cost however Tesla was deceptive in timeline, lack of customer service and when I was finally able to connect with someone the service was downright RUDE! Worst I’ve ever been treated as a consumer! Bill came to our rescue, he was very thorough and never made any promises he couldn’t keep. We got Sunpower panels. The process was smooth and his installers were nice and professional. Quick, clean and quality work. Along the way his assistant Shalyn was our go-to girl. She’s great and always happy to assist. We’ve referred handful of happy folks to them and highly recommend anyone who’s even thinking about going Solar.

Adrian and Solar Bill Review have been incredible – they did all of the work to set up the most efficient system for us, and talked me through the entire process so that I understood what I was purchasing. Since the installation, Adrian has been proactively reaching out to me to review my bill and ensure that the system that was set up is actually outperforming the expectations. I trust Adrian and appreciate the high level of customer service and education.

Bill Gurgol (Owner) and Adrian Ybarra are stellar. They are super friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. They have a wealth of knowledge in the solar industry, yet they are not your typical sales people who will keep push you because they know that the way they serve their customers, they will win new customers. I have known both Bill and Adrian for over 3 years now. When I moved to San Ramon and decided to install solar, it was not my first time going solar, and I was very skeptical about the entire sales process. The installation process was quick and easy with high quality. And to top it off, they are always accessible when you have any follow-up questions once you have gone solar

It is been much pleasure getting to know The Solar Bill Review Team that introduced me to the SunPower solar. While Crystal talks like an angel, Adrian Ybarra would patiently explain and help you understand your PG&E bill. I would say, I am blessed getting to knowing this team. However, my contact with Sun Power was only made possible by Leah who is really good at introducing Solar. While she would not push, she would state the facts and help you understand why going solar should be your choice. I am so glad we installed solar when we did, this has helped us escaped the PG&E bill hikes which has happened four times since we installed our solar.. Thank you Sun Power! Thank you Solar Bill Review Team!!

Jon Landsman provides great service, is honest, works to get you the best quality at the best price, is great with follow up, and very responsive to emails and questions. Especially thankful for the Solar Bill Review Team, which keeps up with me after solar panels are installed to make sure I understand my bill and also to monitor my bill with me. I highly recommend it. Completed installation in 2020 and looking forward to conserving energy and saving $.
Also nice referral bonuses!

Bill helped us with our solar install back in 2014. Bill and his team were great to work with. Bill is personable, reliable, honest and made sure you were taken care of and happy every step of the way. There was even a situation that came up months after the install and he took it upon himself to look into it for us when he didn’t have to. He would check in with us after to see if everything was good with our system. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Bill and his team and best of all, he helped us save hundreds-thousands on our energy bill.
