EL-FI Homes

We are extremely satisfied with the solar and energy storage system installed by EL-FI Homes. The team expertly set up 18 solar panels, three batteries, and an EV charger, which have exceeded our expectations by producing a significant amount of energy. We can easily live off the grid and support the grid when in need with the batteries. EL-FI Homes showcased their deep expertise in selecting the hardware, going through multiple rounds of calculations to size the system for current and future needs like consumption for EV or Heat Pumps. They also walked me through the value proposition of different battery options like Enphase vs Tesla and made sure the battery installation follows the code. The project coordination with roofers and installation of the entire system was well coordinated. The team worked with roofers tirelessly, ensuring timely completion of roofing and then solar + battery installation before my own anticipation. Their clear and prompt communication kept us well-informed every step of the way. EL-FI Homes’ team is friendly and easy to work with. Their respect for the property can be seen through-out. We're not just impressed by the performance of our system; we're also confident in recommending EL-FI Homes to others looking for reliable and efficient energy solutions. Their professionalism and mastery in this domain are truly outstanding. I am happy with the outcome and the contributions we are making together for a better planet and future.

We selected El-Fi Homes to do our solar project because they were the most knowledgeable and complete contractor among those who we got bids from. Uday was able to provide in depth answers to all of my questions regarding solar power with battery backup, and was able to design a solution that provided whole home backup. Whole home backup is a feature that we really wanted as a part of our solution. The other vendors we worked with either could not provide it, or did not seem very knowledgeable about it, and wanted to charge exorbitant rates to provide it. All of the vendors we got bids from designed a system with solar panels and Enphase batteries, but only El-Fi was able to incorporate whole home backup into the solution without blowing our budget. We now have 20 solar panels, capable of producing 8.2 kW, configured in a micro-grid with three Enphase IQ 5P batteries that keep us running over-night, and in the event of a grid outage. Our motivation for this project was driven by a desire to consume cleaner energy and back up all our home's loads during power outages, all while reducing our carbon footprint. El-Fi Homes also connected us with a roofer who was able to do the necessary roof work to prep for solar panels at a very reasonable price. Once the roofing work was done and the permits were in place, El-Fi homes installed our system and got it working very quickly. All of the wiring and battery / panel / controller installations are very cleanly done, and the stucco and paint work is excellent. The El-Fi team are hard working and very professional The communication on project status and issues was consistently excellent. Uday kept me posted on progress daily, and throughout the entire project, and always responded to any questions or concerns I had immediately. We are very happy with our new solar and battery backup system, and are pleased to now be running our house (and charging our cars) from the sun, rather than from fossil fuels!

I recently had a 14kW solar system installed by EL-FI Homes, and the experience has been outstanding, particularly in terms of customer service and engagement.

What set EL-FI Homes apart was their exceptional customer service. Throughout the process, they maintained constant communication, ensuring that I was always informed and comfortable with each step. Their team was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, which made a significant difference in my overall comfort with the project. Their ability to keep me positively engaged and informed, especially during a few unexpected challenges with the building department, was commendable. They navigated these hurdles with professionalism and transparency, ensuring I was never in the dark about the progress of my installation. The financial impact of this installation has been remarkable. My electric bills have gone from being a significant monthly expense to consistently negative, thanks to the efficiency and effectiveness of the solar system installed by EL-FI Homes. In conclusion, my experience with EL-FI Homes has been nothing but positive. Their blend of technical expertise, aesthetic sensitivity, and unparalleled customer service has truly set them apart. I wholeheartedly recommend EL-FI Homes for anyone considering solar energy solutions.

My wife and I just moved to the area and were searching for a company to help us update our newly purchased home new solar technology. The team at EL-FI homes took their time to help explain to my wife and I all the details behind such work and even showed their value add with using their company. Trust and expertise are the two most important traits we look for in home contractors and EL-FI made us feel right at home. I recommend them 100%.
