The Verdict

AmGreen Solutions is not a company you can trust with your solar investment. We found multiple customers whose panels went offline for months without anyone noticing, one homeowner racked up a $1,300 utility bill over seven months of dead panels because the company provides no monitoring or alerts (a standard feature at most installers). Another family was promised their $200 monthly electric bill would disappear entirely, they're now paying $192 a month plus a $20,000 system loan after the salesperson brushed them off with excuses and his manager offered LED bulbs as compensation. Installation timelines stretch eight months past contract deadlines with permit problems the company won't explain, and once you've paid, getting anyone on the phone becomes nearly impossible. The few happy customers we found mostly used AmGreen for free toilet replacements through utility rebate programs, not solar. Workmanship complaints outnumber praise, post-sale support is sporadic at best, and sales conduct issues appear in half the feedback we analyzed. If you're comparing solar companies, this one belongs at the bottom of your list.

If you want a solar system that actually works and a company that answers the phone after installation, look elsewhere. AmGreen's pattern of disappearing post-sale and leaving customers to discover their own system failures is a gamble no homeowner should take.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Charles K.
YelpJun 2, 2023

Charles K. began the solar project in October expecting a quick, routine installation on his home. He watched six months slip by with no progress, then agreed to revise the contract so the company would install within 30 days after the permit. The crew later presented the permit as in hand but then stalled again, pointing to another problem they refused to disclose. Now, eight months after the process started, he still has no working panels, has encountered a nonresponsive, unprofessional team, and the standout takeaway is a promised 30‑day post‑permit installation that never happened and came with no clear explanation.

Kristine P.
YelpOct 18, 2018

Kristine P. invested about $33,000 in a rooftop solar system and discovered her panels had been offline since March only after she was hit with a $1,300 bill from SCE. She was told by the utility that installers are expected to monitor generation and alert customers when systems stop producing — something AmGreen never did — so she went looking for answers. She and her husband called AmGreen multiple times early one morning and were repeatedly told staff were “in a meeting.” Technicians finally arrived on 10/22 and found a switch had been turned off; the crew quickly pointed to kids or a gardener as the cause, which Kristine found irrelevant. AmGreen left the responsibility to the homeowner to download the SolarEdge app to monitor output, and no one else provided alarms, proactive monitoring, or a performance guarantee to cover grid charges while the array was down. Over two years she never received a service contract, never got a routine inspection or cleaning (a technician asked why that had never happened), and received no follow-up to confirm she’d set up the app. When the system ran, she saved roughly $2,000 over 18 months; when it didn’t, she incurred the $1,300 charge for an

TM Y.
YelpMar 13, 2018

TM invested about $20,000 in a residential solar system after being promised the installation would eliminate roughly $200 in monthly LADWP charges — a promise based on the three months the salesperson used during the consultation ($194–$210). After the panels went live, the homeowner discovered the next bill remained essentially unchanged at $192, and a year‑over‑year look showed bills of $245 (Dec 2015), $230 (Dec 2016) and $192 (Dec 2017) — far short of the complete elimination they expected. When they pressed the salesperson, he offered a string of excuses, blamed the system and the utility, and finally told them there was nothing he could do and they couldn’t sue. They asked to speak with a supervisor; the supervisor apologized for the salesperson’s promise but proposed no technical checks or fixes — only a set of LED bulbs. TM ended up with at most about $50 in monthly savings instead of the promised ~$200, and no follow‑up service or system inspection. The clear takeaway: after a large outlay, the homeowner received unmet guarantees and minimal customer care — they asked the company to either verify the system’s performance or add capacity, because a pack of LEDs felt like a

What You Can Expect

Grace L.
YelpApr 7, 2021

Grace discovered that even after five years with AmGreen Solar, her electricity costs stayed tiny — roughly the basic utility service fee of about $10 a month. Living in La Mirada with her two daughters and working from home through the pandemic, she leaned on the system through heavier-than-usual weekday use and longer summer air‑conditioning runs as the climate warmed, and the panels kept performing as expected. She appreciated how responsive and warm the AmGreen team has been whenever she called, and she still singles out Jason for particularly helpful service. Beyond the panels, she also took advantage of the company’s LED lighting and other efficiency services to shrink her household’s carbon footprint and long‑term energy costs. The detail that sticks with her: five years in, near‑zero monthly bills and quick, friendly support whenever she needed it.

Ronald went solar with AmGreen two years ago for his home and discovered their savings estimates were not just met but surpassed. Where his electric bill used to hover around $180 a month, it now runs between $15 and $30. He watched the system’s performance over time and found the company’s customer service matched the savings: when the production monitoring stopped showing data, he called and a technician was dispatched that same day to restore the feed. Two years on, the standout facts are clear — steeply reduced monthly bills and same-day, on-site support when the monitoring hiccuped.

Kris Parsons
GoogleOct 24, 2018

Kris discovered the panels on a roughly $33,000 rooftop system had been offline since March only when a $1,300 bill from SCE arrived — the utility told them solar providers are supposed to monitor production and alert customers when systems stop generating. They had been unaware of the outage because AmGreen never called, and Kris couldn’t recall any clause in the contract offering a performance guarantee that would cover grid charges; they planned to check the paperwork later. When the system worked, it delivered the expected savings and Kris appreciated the production, but the installation and ongoing service felt lacking. Multiple attempts to reach AmGreen early in the day met with hold-ups — calls answered that someone was “in a meeting” — and technicians didn’t visit until October 22, when a crew found a single switch turned off. AmGreen immediately floated explanations like kids or the gardener, but Kris found those excuses irrelevant compared with the larger problem: no active monitoring from the company. Instead, customers are expected to download the SolarEdge app and watch generation themselves; no one else was checking output or sending alerts. Kris contrasted that自s
