WARNING: Sorry to say this company is in trouble. No longer bonded (bond cancelled 2/1/25) and their contractor's license is suspended. Now they are under investigation by the California State Licensing Board. They ghosted us also, and have not repaid our deposit despite promising to do so (in writing and verablly over the phone) back in October 2024. Buyer beware.

2024: Rick has retired, and Nate has taken over the business and continues to run it well. Rick had refused to install a battery, saying the technology and market weren't there yet, but with the power outages up here and PG&E credits, a battery makes a lot more sense now.

We got a quote from multiple people to add a battery, and APS was by far the most competit... read more

I could not be happier with APS. Rick, Mona and the entire team were professional, educational and took care of everything we needed including permits. Their installation was quick and the crew was wonderful. Their prices were competitive and they walked us through all our options. HIGHLY recommend APS.
