Anca Solar reviews

The Verdict
Anca Solar will fix problems they didn't cause and refuse to charge you for it. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found a pattern we've never seen at this scale: dozens of customers describe calling with failing systems installed by other companies, expecting a quote, and instead receiving free troubleshooting, warranty coordination, even multi-month project management with zero invoices. In one case, the owner spent over a month dealing with SolarEdge on a customer's behalf, set up monitoring at no charge, and referred out work he wasn't equipped for rather than improvise a bad solution. In another, he diagnosed a four-year-dead system over the phone while visiting his grandkids, then brought it back online and saved the homeowner from an $800 summer bill. The pattern holds across new installs too: 46 reviews specifically mention workmanship quality, and we found repeated stories of customers who compared six quotes, expected to hire a national brand, then chose Anca because Carlos priced partial roof replacements at a fraction of competitors' all-or-nothing bids. If you want someone who'll treat an orphaned system like their own mother's house, the lack of flashy marketing is a feature, not a bug.
If you're comparing bids and Anca's quote looks almost too low, call their references. You'll hear the same story we did: decades of experience, LG-grade panels, and a owner who shows up to roof jobs to check his crew's conduit runs. The trade-off is scale. This is not a call-center operation.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Christopher M. had a solar array that sat idle for four years until Marco at Solar Solutions Company stepped in and got the system back online. He had been paying about $300 in winter and $800 in summer while the panels weren’t producing; after the repair his most recent bill arrived as a $63 credit. He appreciated Marco’s straight talk — instead of the familiar “zero down” hooks followed by high monthly payments, Marco laid out realistic options and costs. Christopher also pointed out that the company has 24 years in business, a five-star rating, and a down-to-earth crew. He admits he sounds like he was paid to praise them, but insists he’s genuinely pleased — the memorable part for him was a technician who revived a four-year-dead system and turned costly utility bills into a credit.
Adeniji’s original installer folded before monitoring was ever set up, and months later his SolarEdge system stopped producing power and his electric bill jumped. After reading consistently strong reviews, he called Solar Solutions Company in Simi Valley and found Marco, the owner, answering the phone himself. Marco had him send photos of the inverter and walked him step‑by‑step through a hard reset—done while Marco was visiting with his grandkids—in an effort to avoid a service call. When the reset didn’t fix the problem, Marco scheduled a no‑charge on‑site inspection and offered to set up monitoring at no cost. He arrived on time, diagnosed a failed inverter by reading the error codes, confirmed the unit remained under warranty, and volunteered to deal directly with SolarEdge since they communicate only with installers. Marco texted the warranty replacement number the next day and kept Adeniji updated while SolarEdge took more than a month to ship: periodic check‑ins, a shipping notification, and guidance on monitoring options so Adeniji could decide what made sense. When the replacement arrived, Marco discovered SolarEdge had sent a newer model he wasn’t set up to install; he’sn
John Martillo decided to go solar after climbing electricity bills and the recent addition of central air, so he collected six bids — five from national brands and one from smaller local ANCA Solar. He met Carlos at his house (masked and socially distanced), and Carlos walked him through the LADWP process, answered every question, and quickly delivered a quote that was far lower than the big companies while specifying high-rated LG panels. When John discovered a very old section of roof where some panels had to go, Carlos offered to replace only that portion; the larger firms insisted on replacing the entire roof, which inflated their bids dramatically while ANCA’s extra cost stayed almost trivial by comparison. John checked references within walking distance and on the phone; every neighbor spoke highly of Carlos and his crew, so he signed the contract the next day. They showed up about three working days later, were polite and professional, and installed the system in a few days — the panel work itself could have been done in one day, but time was taken to sort the roof work. Carlos even provided a replacement cover for an electrical box John had lost years earlier. The concrete,

What You Can Expect
Andre H. bought a rooftop solar system in November–December 2015 through Sungevity, with local installer Anca handling the installation. He later discovered Sungevity had gone out of business and, worried about who would service the array, called Anca; Carlos stepped in, reassured him that Anca would continue to support the system, and that promise held up over the years. In November 2024 a roof replacement forced the panels to come down temporarily, and Carlos and Anca have been coordinating the removal and reinstallation from the first call to ensure the job stays smooth. Carlos even stopped by the house to check progress in person — personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind — which reinforced the continuity of care. After nearly a decade of reliable follow-through and hands-on support during the roof work, he now trusts Anca enough to buy a new system directly from them.

cgbolton hired Marco Suarez to sell and oversee a residential solar installation, and the project unfolded quickly and smoothly. Marco organized the job down to the paperwork, which helped the city issue the permit right away, and Edison cleared the system to be turned on within ten days. About two years after installation, they have experienced no operational problems and have saved hundreds of dollars on electricity—far more than they expected. The standout detail for prospective buyers: a single point of contact who pushed the paperwork through and secured utility approval in roughly ten days.
