Affordable Home Solar reviews

The Verdict
Affordable Home Solar consistently delivers the lowest quote without cutting corners on the install. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, missed deadlines, or surprise costs. One homeowner saved $8,000 compared to a competitor's bid for the identical system. Another avoided a $2,000 electrical panel replacement because owner Meo redesigned the layout to work with existing infrastructure. Reviews show 62 mentions of straightforward sales conduct, no high-pressure tactics or bait-and-switch pricing. The installation crew finishes most jobs in a single day, passes city inspection within the week, and doesn't ask for payment until after sign-off. Meo answers technical questions himself (reviewers repeatedly note he's not a sales rep reading a script), and 26 customers specifically praised his responsiveness months or years after install. One customer from 2016 called him back in 2021 to expand their system rather than shop around again.
If you want the security of a national warranty or a dedicated account manager, a larger installer might suit you better. But if you'd rather pay thousands less and work directly with the person who'll actually wire your roof, Affordable Home Solar earns the recommendation.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Jim shopped around for a residential solar system and discovered Meo would provide the same equipment another company quoted but at a savings of $8,000. He ended up with the system installed on schedule—Meo’s team finished the job on time—and appreciated that the lower price didn’t mean skimping on service. He liked supporting a small business and found the experience a useful reminder that a bigger company doesn’t automatically mean better results. He passed along one clear takeaway: give Meo a chance to bid—those thousands in savings and the timely installation stood out for him.
Nick and Julie shopped seven contractors before choosing AHS to install solar panels on their San Jose home. They found AHS offered the lowest, straightforward quote with almost no haggling, which immediately set their expectation for transparent pricing. Marc and Christian spent a careful amount of time inspecting the house and mapping out the best panel locations for the family’s needs, while Meo stayed on top of quotes, changes, and questions throughout the process. The installation itself went quickly and professionally — the crew handled the work seamlessly and managed the details so the homeowners didn’t have to. The thing that stood out most to them was trust: AHS asked for no down payment and only collected payment after the system passed the city inspection. That payment-after-approval arrangement was the detail that made the whole experience feel reliable and low-risk to them.
Dave had a Pedersen-Dean solar array installed in 2016 (the company has since closed) and, after adding an ADU and planning for an electric car, realized he needed more capacity. He sifted through an Enphase-authorized list and interviewed several installers, but most sent sales reps who either seemed out of their depth or pushed for an unnecessary full-system replacement. He chose Meo, who listened to the actual needs and designed a targeted upgrade instead. Another team member, David, came for a careful on-site inspection to make sure there were no hidden issues, and the crew kept him updated on timing throughout. The upgrade was finished in one day, workers followed pandemic protocols and wore masks, and the workmanship felt solid. He’s already recommended the company to a friend with a former PD system and plans to call them again for future maintenance or projects. The clearest takeaway: a focused, one-day upgrade that added only what was needed rather than replacing the whole array.

Frank hired Meo to install a 4 kW rooftop PV system on his home, and the crew wrapped the job in a single day in June 2019. The system passed the city inspection that same week, and PG&E issued Permission To Operate about a week later. He has run the array for a little over a year and everything has worked perfectly. The install itself moved smoothly because Meo managed the project from start to finish and dug into the design and electrical questions with evident knowledge of solar hardware and economics. His bid wasn’t the lowest, but Frank chose him for two reasons: Meo is a Union City–based local business with a solid track record and personal recommendations from friends, and the module/inverter package he proposed was clearly superior to the other quotes. For Bay Area homeowners—especially those in the East Bay—who value a quick turnaround and a higher-quality equipment package, contacting Meo for a quote is a logical next step; the standout detail here is the same-day install followed by inspection and PTO within about two weeks.
Sanjeev had a solar system put in through Affordable Home Solar a year ago, and he's been especially pleased now that working from home has pushed his power use well above the usual. He found working with Meo smooth and even enjoyable — Meo walked him through assessing the household’s needs, comparing estimates, and picking the right panels and gateway before the crew handled the installation. The whole process felt professional from start to finish, and after twelve months the system has been keeping up with the higher daytime load without issue. What sticks is that the install actually absorbed the increased work‑from‑home demand, so the higher usage hasn’t become a headache.
