Blalock Electric & Solar reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
Blalock Electric & Solar earned near-perfect scores in workmanship and project management across over a hundred installations. We found just five negative comments about installation quality, while 107 reviewers specifically praised the crews' attention to detail. One homeowner watched installers complete a 17-panel system in five hours, then return the next day to reroute wiring that had sagged onto the roof before the city inspector arrived. Another called out Leonard, a roofer who repaired a leak under the 10-year warranty, showing up on time and keeping the homeowner updated throughout. The office staff handle permitting and utility paperwork end-to-end, and 63 reviews mention responsive follow-up after activation. We did notice six cases where systems sat idle for weeks due to faulty inverters or permit delays, and one customer lost 10 weeks of production before Blalock replaced a broken component. If you value a meticulous crew over rock-bottom pricing, this installer delivers clean work and handles the bureaucracy so you don't have to.
If you want an installer who'll send a roofer back under warranty when your roof leaks two years later, Blalock is worth the premium. You may wait longer than promised for activation, but the workmanship holds up.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Chris S. had Blalock install his solar system about two years ago, and when a bout of torrential rain later caused a roof leak the company's 10-year roof warranty actually mattered. Melanie stepped in to set up the repair inspection and got the process moving, and Leonard called ahead, arrived when he said he would, and quickly completed the repairs. He appreciated that Leonard stayed professional, worked efficiently, and kept him updated for the entire job. The detail that stuck with him: the warranty was real and the team’s communication — someone arranging the inspection plus a technician who shows up on time and keeps you informed — turned a potential headache into a short, well-handled repair.
Robin L. arranged a residential solar install in 2022, at the tail end of the pandemic, and discovered the whole process ran much slower than expected. When the crew finished, they climbed onto the roof and found broken tiles and debris left behind, so they had the company come back to replace the damaged tiles and tidy up. The price was attractive, but the installation left a bit to be desired. Six months later they noticed the system wasn’t producing and contacted Blalock; the team traced the problem to a faulty piece of equipment and replaced it, which fixed the system but only after the homeowner had gone without solar for about ten weeks. The concrete takeaway: the company will make repairs and replace bad parts, but buyers should be prepared for slow scheduling and the possibility of a lengthy outage — in this case, a full 10 weeks of lost electricity.
Tony and his wife, both elderly and spurred into action by a worsening climate, decided to go solar after a neighborhood canvass turned up a standout endorsement for Blalock Electric & Solar and their salesperson, Maegan. He dug into panels, inverters, and installers, then rang doors until a neighbor’s enthusiasm pointed him to Blalock. He called Maegan and immediately discovered someone knowledgeable, patient, and willing to answer a long list of questions; after several phone calls and emails she even promised to be there through commissioning — literally offering to hold his hand if he needed it. They chose a system made up of 12 LG370 panels, two Encharge 10 batteries, and supporting Enphase equipment. Owner Nick Blalock stayed accessible throughout the process (even trading emails on a Sunday), while office staff Sara and Kaitlin smoothed scheduling and handled the back-and-forth with Laguna Niguel and SDG&E. The physical install took two days. SDG&E granted Permission To Operate about a week ago, and Maegan and installer Ashley returned to run “what if” scenarios and a full test — the system passed without issue. What stuck with him most was the combination of personal, a

What You Can Expect
Liz S. had a rooftop Enphase system installed in 2020 and woke on New Year’s Day to an alert that a microinverter had dropped off the gateway. She logged into the monitoring portal and discovered one panel showing no output, then fired off an email to the company that same day. By the next morning a technician had already inspected the array and the company had ordered a replacement microinverter; once the part arrives they’ll call to schedule the swap. The pace of the response — a holiday alert turned into an inspection and part order within 24 hours — felt remarkably fast and professional, so she made a point of leaving a review. She singled out Brian Adams at Blalock Electric and Solar for the quick, efficient handling, and the specific takeaway is how quickly an off-hour alert became a scheduled repair.

Rachel Antaya hired Blalock Electric and Solar to install solar on her home, and a year later the system has run without a hitch and her electric bill is essentially gone. Nick, the owner, walked her through the process with calm, thoughtful explanations, and the crew handled everything from first contact through completion. The company also covered the electric and roofing work she needed, so she dealt with one contractor for multiple trades. The detail that stands out is the combination of clear communication and a year of worry-free operation that left her with almost no utility bill.
