Innovacion Solar has recommendations and testimonials from many of our customers with installations that may be similar to the one envisioned for your home or business. Ask us.
“I am the retired Chairman of Bergelectric Corporation which is a large National Electrical Contracting firm in the USA. We have our own in-house solar division which does major solar installations throughout the USA but do not participate in the residential marketplace.
When I decided to install a solar system in my personal vacation home in Cabo San Lucas I was concerned about the quality of equipment and design ability of the local vendors. A friend introduced me to Francisco J. Vargas Garibay and Innovacion Solar. I was relieved after my first meeting with Francisco that I had met the correct contractor to hire for my job.
Innovacion Solar was flexible in the design to accommodate all the “little things” that I wanted the system to do and to recommend things that I was not even aware that it could do! The quality of the equipment that they specified was all top-of-the-line equipment and in most cases the same manufactures that Berg used in the USA. The quality of the workmanship of the installation was more of a work of art than a typical electrical installation and something that I am proud to show to my guest. After all was completed Innovacion Solar continued to provide maintenance of the system with detailed monthly reports on the performance and a “no questions asked” repair policy for any warranty issues. I would be happy to recommend this firm to anyone looking for a quality solar company in the Cabo area and you may feel free to contact me personally to discuss their qualifications and customer service which I feel is the best in the industry.”

“Innovacion Solar has done about 10 houses for me. Their panels were installed on a flat roof. Their anchoring and waterproofing was well done. We have not had any water migration problems. Their work is neat and tidy. Their professional team did not damage anything during the installation. The big help, is that they organize the paperwork with CFE, and they are instrumental in getting the bi-directional meter. hey can also help with getting approval through the HOA for our community.
The panels are working as predicted. Their work with-stood the mother of all storms, 2014’s Hurricane Odile. We did not lose a single panel which is a testament to their installation. My homeowners are happy with the electrical savings. Most of the paybacks happen in 4-5 years. They will continue to be my solar panel sub-contractor in the future.”

“I want to say on behalf of my wife and myself, Innovacion Solar has a very competent and professional team. They were punctual, courteous and conscientious on the work they did at our house, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how well they cleaned up after themselves every step of the installation process.
We’ve only been living in Mexico since June 2009 and the solar panel installation was the best and most professional by far of any of the service people, we’ve had to call on us since we’ve moved here. The quality of workmanship does make an impression.
We strongly recommend Innovacion Solar among our contacts on Facebook, and next year we are looking forward to adding another 6 panels through them.”

“We are Carl and Dale McBride. We are a retired Director of Food Services and a Masters’ level Team Leader/psychiatric nurse, respectively. After traveling to Cabo San Lucas twice a year for more than 10 years, we decided that this was our place to spend our retirement. We purchased a wonderful home, and then moved full time in July 2015. It quickly became clear that the most expensive but most essential financial issue was the cost of electricity to utilize air conditioning during the summer. The quality of our life was compromised. Thus, we began exploring alternatives.
We researched our options and after interviewing two companies, decided to go forward with Innovacion Solar. We chose Innovacion Solar after the evaluation/proposal by Francisco Vargas Garibay. The estimate was reasonable, and we were impressed with his professionalism. Besides his knowledge of the mechanics of solar systems, his commitment to his community to introduce alternative energy sources was affirming.
Francisco and his team assisted us through multiple roadblocks and made some major adjustments to facilitate the completion of the project. All of the supervisors and workmen were timely, professional, and polite, as well as being competent.
Our second summer as full-time residents have been comfortable and economical. Our thanks to Innovacion Solar!
Without reservation, we are pleased to recommend this company and solar to ail. If you wish to speak to us about our experience, Francisco can arrange contact.”

“I have had solar for much more than a year… maybe 4-5. I was very careful to make it as unobtrusive as possible, to avoid any perceived conflicts with the CC&R’s. They don’t prohibit solar, but they do prohibit dishes and anything else deemed “ugly”, but I have had zero comments.
For this I had the help of Francisco Vargas from Innovacion Solar. He did the installation, follow up and maintenance and I can honestly vouch for his professional ability and heartedly recommend using his services.
Francisco will determine what is sucking out your power and make recommendations based on that and your roof layout. We also changed all interior light bulbs from 50 watt (yes, they are all 120V!!) to 3-watt LED’s. I have about 120 lights and if the renters turned all of them on, it would run 6000 watts!! (If you do this, leave the bathroom mirror lights at 50 watts for facial color.
I also changed out my pool pump to a lower voltage variable speed pump that runs only during sunlight hours (10 to 5pm) to take advantage of the solar panels peak production periods. My lowest bill was $50 for August of 2015 but since I rent frequently, and the air con is always on, my base rate is usually higher, about $500/mo.
Eventually, I plan to get batteries and get off the grid!! It isn’t cheap but does pay for itself pretty quick.”

“Terry and I can tell you Innovacion Solar did a marvelous job with the installation and follow up. Additionally, Francisco has gone above and beyond the call of duty by, among other things, Innovacion Solar’s team thoroughly cleaning our solar panels without us asking because his crew found a lot of dust accumulating on our roof from two houses being built next to us during one of their routine inspections.
I generally don’t recommend vendors because there is no upside to it. However, Innovacion Solar is the exception because they did everything, they said they would do, and our monthly electric bills have gone from over $3,000 per month to less than $500 per month. In a nutshell, Terry and I have found it to be well worth the expense, they installed 152 solar panels on our 8,000 square foot home.”
