Report
Kapital electric installed solar panels and an EV charger in my home. Their solar and EV teams were stellar and very professional and a lot of good notification of when they would be out and the install process was fairly quick. Under the solar panels we added a critter guard which had some issues and they came and fixed. All in all great experience.

The technical service was excellent. Good advice, quality work, and I passed my inspection without issues. However, after the service, my place was dirty. Dust on the floor and counters, furniture moved, that wasn't replaced. Dirt on the walls where workers placed their hands -- I think this should have been attended to prior to the work being "complete".

Don and his staff are awesome. I was clearly explained all the options for my ev charger, and I was given a precise cost estimate up front. The work was executed timely and accurately, and they were able to solve issues that were not immediately visible. Everyone was friendly and very professional, and the cost of the services was competitive. I definitely recommend Kapital Electric!

My Experience with Kapital was fantastic. I was the second person in my building to have Katipal install a Tesla charger in our shared garage.
Don came out, was super friendly and knowledgable. He gave me an estimate on the spot. A week later his team came out and did the installation. They were fast, friendly, clean, and efficient. I did a lot of research to find an installer and am so happy I landed on Kapital. I would highly recommend them for any Tesla charger needs.

The Kapital Electric team did a wonderful job installing the NEMA outlet in our garage. The team was thoughtful, diligentand respectful. Any hiccup that occurred (with a house that was built in 1890 that is not surprising) they were incredibly communicative and figured out solutions. Their knowledge of renewable energy, EVs and solar panels is unparalleled. I will be calling them again for any of my electrical needs.
