We analyzed dozens of reviews for Berger Solar Electric and found a contractor who actually answers the phone on weekends when your system glitches. Matthew sat down with one couple to explain what solar is in depth before they committed, no pressure. Another homeowner watched Scott's crew use ropes and tackles to gently place panels on a high roof, then reroute cable underground and pour concrete as part of an expansion, all coordinated by the same team. Fifty-two reviews mention workmanship quality with zero complaints, and 24 highlight post-installation support that doesn't disappear after the check clears. One customer called with a voltage regulator issue, sent photos, got warranty approval through a few calls, and had a technician show up on schedule to fix it. We noticed 12 mentions of honest pricing and factual recommendations, not sales tactics. (One reviewer with 32 years in power plants chose them based on local reputation, then immediately started planning a solar upgrade.) Reviews show they protect your carpets during electrical work and respond to emails within hours, sometimes the same day.
If you want a solar installer who'll still pick up the phone two years later when you have a question about your batteries, Berger is worth the call. You may wait slightly longer than a volume installer with five crews, but you get the same electrician who knows your system inside out.
In 2018 Carol Scott decided to put solar on her all‑electric home. After comparing several systems and contractors, she chose Scott Berger and Berger Solar Electric to install SunPower panels — USA‑made panels with a strong reputation — and worked closely with Matthew throughout the process. He walked her through rebates and paperwork, coordinated with SCE to size the electrical work, made practical recommendations, and kept the approach pressure‑free under the company’s local quality guarantee. The crew handled more than just panels: they added electrical breakers, installed an EV charger, and managed other home modifications. Because her roof sits high, installers and climbers used ropes and tackles to gently place and secure the panels — a hands‑on, skilled solution that left her 100% pleased with the result. Recently she reassessed her needs and called Berger again; Matthew and Scott mapped where to add extra panels and delivered additional electrical work, including re‑routing a cable underground, installing a new breaker box, and completing concrete, plaster, and paint so the job was finished end‑to‑end. The most memorable part of her experience was that the same local, n
Brenna approached Berger Solar wary of a company with only five-star reviews, but discovered they deserved every one. At the first sit-down, Matthew Berger patiently explained how solar would work for their home, why it made sense, and the specific panels and hardware the company uses—walking through the reasons behind each choice in depth and leaving her comfortable choosing them. When the crew arrived to install the panels and batteries, they were friendly, considerate, and helpful, and they cleaned up thoroughly when the job finished. Scott Berger stood out for his electrical skill and accommodating manner. She ended up with a working solar-and-battery system and a clear takeaway: Matthew’s patient, technical walkthrough combined with Scott’s meticulous installation and tidy cleanup made the whole process feel professional and trustworthy.
John chose Berger Solar for a rooftop system and quickly found their technical support to be the standout feature. Upfront information matched reality, and the crew sized the array exactly as he requested. Installers left tidy, high-quality electrical work, and when a startup glitch appeared Berger coordinated with Enphase and got it resolved fast. Their team stayed extremely responsive — even answering over a weekend — and the prompt support consistently exceeded his expectations. He recommends them without reservation, and what stuck with him most was the weekend responsiveness and rapid coordination with Enphase.

When Radek Vingralek bought his house three years ago and discovered it already had a solar system, he turned to Scott to help him get up to speed. Scott smoothed the handoff from the previous owners, patiently walked him through how the system worked (Radek had no prior experience), and stayed available to answer the many questions that came up during the transition. More recently Scott returned and carried out a battery replacement without any issues, leaving the system running as expected. What stood out throughout was the ongoing, hands-on support — clear explanations up front and a trouble-free battery swap later — which left him confident in operating and maintaining the inherited system.

Chris hired Berger Solar Electric to put panels on his roof in late 2019. He watched the crew work quickly and efficiently, producing clean, high-quality results that even the roofer complimented after inspecting the roof. Berger responded promptly to follow-up questions and left a very thorough packet explaining the system, the upfront costs, and the benefits he should expect. That mix of solid workmanship and clear documentation gave him confidence in the installation, and he plans to use them again for any future projects.
Diana L. relied on Scott for projects at both her home and her office for 15 years, and that long-running relationship shapes the story. She kept coming back because the prices stayed reasonable and the work remained consistently solid. The standout detail is the decade-and-a-half of steady service across two properties — fair pricing paired with dependable craftsmanship.
Douglas ended up working with Berger Solar, a local family-owned company that made the process feel straightforward from the start. What stood out most was how easy they were to reach by phone and how quickly they responded when his system had an issue: they came out and fixed it promptly. He came away with a solar setup backed by a crew that acted professionally, kept their word, and handled the after-install problem without making it a headache.
Mike B ended up with a new solar-and-battery setup on his house, and the smoothness of the whole job stood out from the start. From planning and paperwork through the actual install, Berger kept things moving without hassle. The crew who came out was friendly, professional, and fast, finishing the work quickly in a way that made the experience feel well handled rather than rushed. After the panels and battery were in place, the support continued to impress: whenever he had a question, he got a quick response. That combination of efficient installation and responsive follow-up left him looking at Berger as the kind of company he could call again for future electrical work, not just solar.

Elizabeth wanted a system that would keep the lights on through the frequent outages in her Starlite neighborhood, and Berger Solar and Electric delivered. After evaluating her energy needs they installed solar panels and batteries so the house now keeps running when the grid goes down. The installation felt seamless: work areas stayed clean throughout the project, the crew provided hands-on support to help her use the new system, and Berger handled all permits, inspections and SCE paperwork. A small but telling detail stuck with her — they even put the garage shelf back up, fitting it around the new electrical conduits — a neat sign of care. She ended up with a reliable solar-plus-storage setup and the peace of mind of backup power, plus a crew that took the extra step to leave the place orderly.
After a botched solar installation left his house with repeated callbacks and a damaged roof vent, J Rodimus called Berger Solar to take over the project. They stepped into a stalled, error-filled situation and completed the work correctly and on a much faster timeline. Berger then installed a battery backup system; the crew behaved courteously and professionally, worked efficiently, and left the array looking clean and well finished. The detail that stands out is how Berger rescued a failing installation and turned it into a prompt, tidy job that included a functioning battery backup.
