The Verdict
Advanced Solar Solutions nails the details solar installers usually botch. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a design firm that building officials actually compliment, which tells you everything about their permit packages. One installer reported flying through permitting across multiple jurisdictions because the documentation was that thorough, and another said the building department loved the plans (a sentence we've never written about any other solar company). Reviews show two standout patterns. First, their turnaround stays fast even as projects change midstream. One client made last-minute design changes to a battery system and the team didn't flinch or slow down. Second, the staff remains reachable when most design firms go dark. Five reviewers singled out individual team members by name for being available when needed, and two noted seamless staff transitions over multi-year relationships. The only limitation: this is a design and permitting specialist, not a full-service installer, so you'll still need boots on your roof.
If you're a solar installer drowning in permit red tape or an ambitious DIYer who needs professional drawings, Advanced Solar Solutions will save you weeks of back-and-forth with your building department. If you need someone to actually mount the panels, look elsewhere.

What You Can Expect
John Hunter has worked with Advanced Solar for nearly three years, bringing them multiple solar patio projects and asking them to handle designs across several states. He experienced consistently quick responses and good turnaround times, and he credits the success of the patio installs to the extensive one-on-one time Advanced spent with him at the start of each project. Because the team handled multi-state designs successfully, he came to rely on the deep practical knowledge behind Advanced Solar. The detail that stuck with him: those detailed, upfront design sessions made tricky patio installations run smoothly.
Michael Zimerman gave Advanced Solar Solutions a five‑star review after turning over several challenging solar projects that needed to be grandfathered under NEM 2.0. He discovered their responsiveness, client focus, and technical competence made a real difference when timelines were tight. On the first job he ran their drawings in parallel with those from his previous provider and found Advanced Solar Solutions’ work far superior — no back‑and‑forth, no constant hand‑holding. The team repeatedly went the extra mile to get details right, which mattered because mistakes would have jeopardized grandfathering. He plans to keep using them, and what stuck with him most was not having to babysit designers and engineers when every minute counted.

Kurt Ellington watched the owner pour tremendous effort into designing and installing two off‑grid systems for his family. The owner stayed involved at every step, guiding customization choices and seeing the work through from concept to finished systems.

When his organization went through a recent staff transition, Advanced stepped in with exceptional patience and hands-on help, walking new team members through training so they could take over smoothly.

Anthony Menendez sought the company’s design services for the first time and walked away very pleased. He braced for the usual difficulty reaching a design firm, but Mindy stayed available whenever he needed questions answered, which kept the project moving smoothly. The standout detail was that single point of contact and consistent responsiveness — it turned what can be a slow, frustrating stage into a straightforward process. For anyone who values easy, reliable access to their designer, that availability makes the difference.
