Thanks for the info about these calls being initiated by A-1 Solar in VanNuys.  The rude telemarketers won't admit that and insist they're calling from "Nat'l Renewable Energy Center".  I called the # for "Kris Lee/Cherry - no answer so left a message.

I noticed the A-1 website showed they have a branch in Petaluma: 755 Baywood, phone 707 559-5774.  Since the calls I get are "spoof'd" to be from Cloverdale I figured I'd pursue the local branch.  The guy that answer said his name was Zach, office manager is "Dorris".  He said they do complaints though not many recently.  He said he's stuck with answering the complaints and that he's told to forward the info to someone at HQ  . . . but nothing else they can do about it and said they didn't have any contact info for people at VanNuys.  Sounds pretty lame but was at least a real person admitting who they work for and admitted the parent company gets complaints about the telemarketers they use.  
I intend to keep calling the local office if A-1 keeps calling me, and will also go pay them a visit personally.  
I would encourage other NorthBay residents to call the Petaluma off to start some upward pressure to end this nuisance.
707 559-5774

I have his name as Kris Lee, (not Cherry, unless it's an alias) under Linkedin.
The phone  number you listed is correct though. Call this guy, let him know your thoughts about his predatory and harassing marketing tactics@

head of telemarketing at a1 solar is jody franco

call at 855 410-4700  

start asking for her

i mean it's only

she should put up with all the calls that her employees put out

This number has called several times. The latest was Sunday 4/6/14. I recognized it and told "Brittany" to stop calling, which, of course, was useless.  When I redialed the number the voice told me it was a disconnected number. I resorted to the computer and searched the number and found this site. This is good! At least people can learn what it happening to them. In fact, I have been researching a cordless phone that will block these numbers. BUT if they can keep changing the number will you ever be able to get ahead of them? I didn't listen long enough to get their business "name" but it had something to do with PG&E rates etc, etc. It could be  "A-1 Solar" that you folks mentioned.

The source of all these numbers is very likely A-1 Solar. Anybody who has been called by this number or is being harrassed by A-1 Solar's telemarketing vendors can try contacting the Business Consumer Alliance and lodge a complaint on their website: http://www.businessconsumeralliance.org/report/a-1-solar-power-100107330 . They will mediate your complaint with A-1 and A-1 will contact you and their marketing company to take you off the call list.  A-1 reports that they are implementing changes in their telemarketing oversight?we will see if the calls actually stop, because I just received another one this morning. Despite what some may feel about Business Consumer Alliance and their past history, it is really the only viable progress I have made in contacting contact A-1 to get their telemarketers off my back. If you are on the DNC, you should also lodge a complaint with the FCC, but realize that it will probably be an very long time before it pops up on their radar, since the numbers are spoofed and not everybody who complains knows that A-1 is the source of all these calls. Blocking numbers is ineffective?these telemarketing vendors spoof and rotate their numbers, so you will keep getting calls ad nauseum.

never ending calls from this number with no one on the other end.  2-3 times a week, sometimes twice a day, for the last 6 months.  How do i stop them?

They called this morning from 707-207-6920 and hung up. I checked this site to find out who they were since they called extremely early on a Sunday and I was ACTUALLY SLEEPING IN AND THEY WOKE ME UP. The nerve! I haven't slept in like that for at least a year. Now its war. I called Kristopher Cherry and I'll call the Better Business Bureau tomorrow.

Extremely rude! Finally answered in hopes to request that my number be removed from calling list. I answered "hello, can I help you'? Representative said, Marilyn? my response "Yes, can I help you"?..his reply, "Marilyn"?, my answer, "Yes, can I help you"? His reply..."how many times are you going to say that? You sound like a parrot" then he hung up on me. Unbelievable!!!

Thanks for your feedback!

My question would be "If Kristopher Cherry is not affiliated with that telemarketing company any longer, then *how* would he be able to have your number put on that other company's internal 'Do Not Call' list"?

We were receiving calls for a few weeks from (925) 201 - 6517, we live in Pleasanton, in NorCal Bay Area.

I used the info above (Kristopher Cherry, 818-574-7332 - his mobile) and he actually answered, said "do not rip my head off I am not affiliated with that company any longer" and took my name and phone number and said he would get us purged from their system. He was actually very nice.

Just letting folks know that it may be a way for them to get passed this, I have my fingers crossed!

They are violating the do not call list.  They also spam with several other robo numbers from the Petaluma, CA and Garberville, CA in the 707 area code.  I get a minimum of 10 calls per day.  This is total harassment can they be sued?

I googled A1 solar and told the girl in customer service that we have logged all the phone numbers that have called along with the time and date and if they don't stop I will be giving my records to my local DA.

Since Feb 1 we've received 25 calls from:     (707) 219-8373 Garberville, CA
3 calls from:     (707) 921-5351 Santa Rosa, CA
3 calls from:     (707) 200-4178 St. Helena, CA
and 5 calls from "Out of Area" (no phone #) that I'm a bit suspicious about.

They do not leave a msg on the machine & when I pick up no one is there.  One time someone did answer &, after listening to their pitch, I asked (politely) to be removed from their calling list.  The male caller asked me to wait a moment, called me a s**t who gets lots of **** & hung up.  3 hours latter they had called again.

After googling one of the #s I came across this website & am not surprised to find others saying they are a sleazy operation.
I'll be placing a call to Kristopher Cherry's personal cell # (as suggested above) very shortly &.....probably just as frequently as they call me!

Yep. Just like the calls I get on (925) area code. A1 Solar and National Renewable Energy Center: 201-61xx phone numbers.

Phone rings all day long from 707-207-6920 and 707-207-6951.I try to call them back and it says the number is disconnected or no longer in service. On one call I had a live person for a second. Before I ould say stop calling me, he hung up! Frustrating!

Keep getting phone calls from this number.  No one on line except a "bleep" then disconnect.  A nuisance that I am blocking.

Here's an interesting post I found at 800notes about the modus operandi of A1 Solar Power.  Read the post by Inside story on December 31, 2013:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-707-200-7673/3

I receive frequent calls from this number mascarading as a local phone number. Usually there is nobody at the other end and I hear a click. Occasionally they identify themselves as a solar company. What ever happened to the Do Not Call list? Obviously there are no adverse consequences for not honoring it.

Yep. If you call the number on the website --  1-877-593-2995 -- you will never get through. You won't even be able to leave a message since the mailbox is perpetually full.

These evil people are relentless. Who would ever buy anything they are selling:

Call Kris and tell him to have his company stop calling you. He will tell you a bald-faced lie that you are getting calls from a call center that makes telemarketing calls for a bunch of different companies. They happen, however, to be right next door to A1 in Van Nuys. And, if you do internet searches for the telephone number I mentioned above -- 818-574-7332 -- you will see job listing for telemarketers at 15035 Oxnard Street, Van Nuys. Fancy that. Kris can also be e-mailed at kris@a1solarpower.net.

Kris will also give you a load of other b.s., i.e. that he is recording the call, that he will call you back to discuss these matters. Tell him that you will contact the Los Angeles County District Attorneys office to lodge a criminal complaint.

These idiots keep calling from this "disconnected" number,
707-207-6920. My phone always shows it is from Suisun City. If I try calling it back I get the message it is disconnected.

Calling every night and then goes silent.

Thank you, anon. I will look into filing a formal complaint with them through businessconsumeralliance.org

Here's some more information from another site about how some people with similar complaints were able to stop these telemarketing calls:

http://www.businessconsumeralliance.org/compl ... r-inc-100107330

What should we call Kris about? Can he help with these non stop annoying calls? I've blocked several numbers already from them but they just keep coming. I've also reported them to the FCC ... not sure what else there is to do.

Another telemarketing front used by A1 Solar Power is "National Renewable Energy Center":

http://nationalrenewableenergycenter.com/

Yep. The company is AI Solar Power, Inc., located at 15025 Oxnard Street, Van Nuys, California. Phone number is 855-410-4700.

Their in-house telemarketing firm is Go Green Energy Center next door at 15035 Oxnard Street, Van Nuys.

Call this, guy, though, the "Job Recruit Manager" at AI: Kristopher Cherry, 818-574-7332. That's his cell phone number. He will be evasive and nervous that you are able to contact him directly at his personal line.

This #%*!@ SOLAR company has called us 163 times since April 29 2013 under 14 other spoofed numbers.

Other spoofed names PETALUMA, ST HELENA, SUISAN CITY & SANTA ROSA.

This is another number that is spoofing and their numbers they use is disconnected . It's a solar co . What I don't get is that they just keep calling and hanging up. I keep blocking all their numbers . They are such a**les!
