The Verdict

All On Electric runs into trouble when something goes wrong. We found a homeowner whose inverter failed in February 2022 but wasn't replaced until June, costing her $849 in extra utility charges because the company never explained she could monitor the system herself. When she asked for reimbursement, the owner said 'this happens all the time' and stopped responding. Another customer waited four months with no updates, then spent three more months trying to get a monitoring system fixed while customer service went silent. The workmanship scores look solid, 16 reviewers praised the installation quality, and we noticed fast turnarounds when projects went smoothly. One inverter replacement happened in four days after two months of dead ends with other contractors. But the pattern that stands out is how the company handles accountability. When a sales rep was called out for sexist behavior (texting only the husband after meetings with the wife, dropping a roof bid by $6,000 mid-negotiation), the owner's apology felt transactional, focused on damage control rather than change. If you value an installer who'll own their mistakes and stay reachable after the panels go up, keep looking.

If you're comfortable chasing down responses when things break, the installations themselves are competent. But if you expect a company to proactively monitor your system, communicate during delays, or take responsibility for avoidable costs, this isn't the right fit.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Christine P.
Yelp | Aug 14, 2022 |

Christine P. had a rooftop solar system powering her home since mid-2016. In 2022, after paying to have the panels cleaned, she learned from the cleaner that she should be able to monitor production directly — something she hadn’t known to set up beyond watching PG&E statements. Only after she called All On Electric did her system get connected to SolarEdge; by then the inverter had already failed on February 12, 2022, and sat out of service until June 20, 2022 — roughly four months. That outage translated into $849.26 more in NEM charges than the same period in 2021. She discovered that SolarEdge had no record of her system until All On Electric initiated the connection, and that the installer never offered or explained a self-monitoring option unless she asked. When she brought the extra charges and the communication gap to owner Joel Dahlheim, he replied, “this happens all the time,” and then stopped responding to her requests for reimbursement. She has opened a complaint with the Contractors State License Board and is considering a civil claim to recover the added NEM charges and related damages — a cautionary example of an extended equipment outage compounded by a lack of pro‑

2. Aracely R.
Yelp | Jan 1, 2020 |

Aracely R. entrusted the company with a home solar installation and quickly discovered the project stalled: four months went by with no updates until she had to call them to find out what was happening. When crews finally put the panels on the roof, they still didn’t work correctly — the array won’t communicate with the monitoring system, so she can’t track production as the contract promised. Reaching customer service felt like trying to get through to the DMV: slow and unresponsive. Technicians returned twice over the next three months but couldn’t identify or fix the communication issue, and the promised weekly progress calls never materialized. Frustrated and regretful about the whole process, she wishes the company would remove the panels so she wouldn’t have to keep dealing with ongoing, unresolved problems. The most striking detail: long silence before installation followed by months of nonfunctional equipment and failed service visits left the system effectively unusable.

3. Stephanie C.
Yelp | Sep 15, 2018 |

Stephanie C. began the process of buying a combined roof and solar system for her home and initially worked with sales rep Jeff Wedderburn. She found him fine at first, but after one conversation with her husband he started excluding her: he texted to ask for her husband’s name and then directed all communications to him. Jeff came back with a $52,000 bid for the roof-plus-solar package, saying $19,000 of that was for the roof; when Stephanie shopped other bids he later revised the roof portion down to $13,000. He also called every day for a week, which she stopped answering because she felt disrespected. While she judged the installation quality to be acceptable, she concluded the sales behavior reflected backward sexist attitudes and refused to hand over a large payment to a company that tolerated that. On 9/19 Jeff called with what she regarded as a half-hearted apology, and Joel, the owner, messaged her through Yelp asking to chat and offering an apology that she felt was aimed at getting her to remove the review—she declined. Her takeaway: the workmanship may be adequate, but the way women were treated turned a serviceable bid into a dealbreaker, and she isn’t backing down on

What You Can Expect

01

1. RJ D.
Yelp | Sep 12, 2025 |

RJ decided to upgrade the solar panels on their roof to better balance how much power they pull from the local utility versus what their array produces. After vetting several installers, they chose All On Electric. From the first conversation through the final hookup, the team treated them with professionalism and patience. Sales staff Jeff and Ezra walked through options and answered every question without rushing, and installers Joel and Edwin handled the on-roof work cleanly and efficiently. What stood out was the time the crew took to explain tradeoffs and make sure the system would meet the household’s needs — not a hurried sale but a clearly thought-out upgrade. They ended up pleased enough that they recommended All On Electric to a friend who plans to install panels this year, and the names Jeff, Ezra, Joel, and Edwin are what they keep mentioning when describing the experience.

2. D R.
Yelp | May 29, 2025 |

D R. chose All On Electric and Solar to fit solar panels and batteries on their home a few months ago and found the system running perfectly since installation. They were struck that the owner personally came out to give the bid and was so unassuming that D R. didn’t even realize the visitor was the owner. The estimate proved competitive, the installation went smoothly, and the panels and batteries have performed without issues. What separated the experience from a typical contractor interaction was the follow-through: calls and texts get answered quickly or returned promptly, even after the job was done. Because All On is a local, family-run operation, the whole process felt personal — and the detail that stuck with D R. was simply that the company still picks up the phone.

1. Milenko D.
Yelp | Jun 2, 2017 |

In June 2016 Milenko had a rooftop solar system installed by All-On on his Dublin home. He moved from signed contract to a working system in just weeks — the crew worked quickly and efficiently. Ruth guided him through the process, handling scheduling and details in a way that made the installation smooth, and the array has performed exactly as expected since activation. What stayed with him most was the fast timeline paired with Ruth’s hands-on support.

2. Kathie H.
Yelp | Sep 9, 2013 |

Kathie H. hesitated to write this because she knows good repair crews get swamped — she doesn't want to make All On Electric too popular. Over the past two years she has relied on them for her home, the veterinary hospital where she works, and several rental units. They consistently show up on time, work efficiently, and charge reasonable rates. What stuck with her was that the same dependable team handled both the busy clinic and routine rental repairs without drama — punctuality and consistency across different properties.

3. Greg S.
Yelp | Aug 31, 2024 |

Greg S. found his 10-year-old Tesla inverter had failed and, after roughly two months without solar power, began reaching out to local Tri Valley installers. He phoned several companies and even talked directly with owners but kept coming up empty on quotes or firm install dates, so he turned to the Tesla-certified installers directory and emailed the same message to ten contractors. All On Electric & Solar was the only company that called back, provided a quote and booked a service visit for the very next day. They worked through a Saturday and Sunday and, four days after that first conversation, had him back online with a replacement Tesla inverter. What stood out was the responsiveness — the sole contractor to return his inquiry and arrange a weekend install that ended a two-month outage within four days.

1. Sam P.
Yelp | Jun 24, 2021 |

Sam P. set out to convert the house to run entirely on solar, and the company pushed relentlessly to complete the job correctly from start to finish. They kept the project moving with almost immediate communication—answering calls or returning messages within minutes and only rarely within hours—so questions never went unanswered. The team guided them through every step, eased their concerns, and finished with a system that put the home at 100 percent solar power. The detail that stuck with Sam was that nonstop responsiveness: quick answers at every stage that turned a big project into a smooth process.

2. Evan E.
Yelp | Jul 20, 2019 |

Evan reached out to Joel and Amanda for a solar bid on his one-story home, and they turned around a very thorough assessment quickly with a price that fit his budget. He moved through financing with almost no hassle, and the installation played out exactly the same way—fast, painless, and handled by technicians who were professional, cleaned up thoroughly, and were in and out respectfully. They installed top-tier, state-of-the-art equipment, and the system has been producing strong power since activation. The detail that sticks: a rapid, no-fuss path from estimate to finished roof combined with high-performing hardware that immediately delivered the expected output.
