The Verdict

Alltech Solar is a solid installer, but they win on price and no-pressure sales more than standout service. We analyzed their track record and found 102 mentions of reliable workmanship—teams show up on time, finish fast, and leave clean job sites—but post-install responsiveness is uneven. One homeowner watched Chase climb onto the roof to diagnose a patio leak unrelated to the solar install, then patch it for free. Another waited four months for a panel replacement and eventually hired a lawyer. The company quoted $19,200 when seven competitors hovered near $25,000, installed stainless steel connectors instead of plastic, and threw in a 25-year workmanship warranty when most capped at 15. If you value an in-person consult over a slick pitch and want premium hardware without the premium markup, Alltech delivers. Just know you're trading some handholding for a better deal. (One reviewer called out the crew for uprooting patio plants on every visit. We can't verify the botanical carnage, but points for specificity.)

If you want a low bid, quality panels, and zero sales pressure, Alltech is a smart pick. If you need white-glove follow-up and guaranteed responsiveness after PTO, look elsewhere.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

J. S. A.
YelpJan 5, 2023

This homeowner noticed a small leak in the patio overhang after a heavy rain and, worried the nearby solar conduit supports might be involved, contacted Alltech Solar. Alltech replied quickly and sent Chase to inspect; after he pointed out that the conduit supports are glued down and therefore unlikely to cause a leak, the homeowner accepted that explanation and expected him to leave. Instead Chase offered to climb on the roof, returned with a video showing a popped roofing nail that had created a tiny bubble for water to enter, and then went back up to patch it — all without accepting any payment. Another heavy storm has since come through with no further leak. What stood out for them was Chase’s willingness to look beyond the solar installation, document the problem, and fix it on the spot without charge — a level of follow-through that became the defining memory of their experience with Alltech.

Kevin B.
YelpJan 19, 2018

Kevin shopped relentlessly for a residential solar system, posting an online notice and interviewing seven or eight companies before narrowing his choice. He discovered most bids clustered around $24,000–$26,000 (one outlier at $40,000), and typical workmanship warranties topped out at 15 years, with one at 20. Cyrus passed Kevin’s phone screening, came to a face-to-face meeting, and landed the job by undercutting the competition: an initial $19,200 quote for the same system that Kevin later upsized to $19,800 because the price left room to upgrade. Beyond the sticker price, Cyrus specified top-rated Panasonic panels with a 25-year hardware warranty and offered a 25-year workmanship warranty—far longer than the others. Kevin also learned that Cyrus used stainless-steel connectors instead of the plastic fittings most installers use, and he confirmed that detail after the job. The crew delivered a careful, professional install, and Cyrus even returned after inspection to move a few panels into a more efficient position. What lingered for Kevin was the combination of thousands in savings, the unusually long workmanship warranty, and the stainless-steel connectors—concrete reasons he u

Madina I.
YelpMar 1, 2024

Madina I. hired Alltech Solar to install solar panels on her home and discovered the project went off-script almost immediately. After the crew took a deposit, they drilled holes into the front wall beside the front door to mount a large electrical box with conduit running to and from it — a visible, permanent change Madina says she never expected and was not told about beforehand. When she tried to discuss moving the box to a less conspicuous spot, owner Chase immediately blamed the homeowners for not raising the issue and dismissed the house layout as "weird," then insisted the box had to stay where it was. Trusting his expertise at the time, she accepted the recommendation but now plans to get an independent opinion to confirm whether the placement was necessary or a shortcut to avoid redoing the work. Within weeks she discovered one panel was malfunctioning. The company dragged its feet, then largely vanished: phone calls and emails went unanswered, and 4.5 months later there was still no fix or timeline. After her husband posted a negative Yelp review, the owner allegedly threatened them and told them their claim would be placed on hold until the review was removed. Along to

What You Can Expect

Isaac P.
YelpSep 11, 2023

Isaac hired Alltech for a home solar installation and left a two-star review after a frustrating experience. He discovered the company had clearly taken on more work than it could handle: schedules looked overbooked and crews stretched thin, which produced repeated delays and spotty communication. He found transparency missing — updates and clear timelines evaporated once the contract was signed — and echoed earlier complaints that Alltech tends to disappear after getting a signature. When the project stalled, he ended up chasing the team and felt responsible for keeping things moving. He concluded that Alltech can finish jobs if you aren’t in a hurry, but anyone who needs firm deadlines or steady communication should plan to follow up regularly. The detail that stuck with him most was having to keep tabs on the company after signing.

Linh-Nhan D.
YelpJun 15, 2022

Linh-Nhan shopped three solar companies, even signed with one, then discovered an unfavorable contract clause and walked away. They called Alltech Solar, who not only matched the competing price but negotiated the contract terms until Linh-Nhan felt comfortable. They picked LG panels, and the installation unfolded exactly as Chase and his team had outlined. Alltech also installed a 240‑amp/50‑amp circuit so the house would be EV‑ready — a detail that paid off when they bought an electric car earlier this year and the circuit worked brilliantly. Nearly two years later, the array has performed to expectation, and Chase has answered questions promptly whenever they popped up. They’ve referred Alltech to neighbors, and what sticks most is the combination of contract flexibility and the forward‑thinking EV hookup that arrived before it was needed.

Todd Johnston
GoogleSep 17, 2020

Todd has relied on AllTech Solar for seven years and discovered a level of responsiveness and professionalism that stood out after a decade of dealing with the solar market. After being left stranded by short-lived startups and trying several San Diego installers that proved unresponsive and unreliable, he landed with AllTech and a single point of contact: Chase Carmody. He watched Chase monitor his system, work directly with Enphase to verify faults, order replacement inverters, and notify him the moment parts were ready for installation. Chase’s straightforward, timely communication and his willingness to make accommodations for military veterans turned routine maintenance into a hands-on, dependable service experience. Because Chase manages verification and replacements from start to finish, he now conducts business exclusively with AllTech Solar.
