The Verdict

Calzona Solar is a reliable installer for hands-on homeowners who value price and quality work over polish. We found an owner who shows up early, completes installs in a day when other contractors dragged on for months, and coordinates directly with roofers to flash every roof penetration properly. One reviewer had been abandoned mid-project by another installer and watched Kevin fix shoddy wiring and finish the entire job in one visit. Reviews consistently mention competitive pricing on name-brand equipment (LG panels, Enphase microinverters) and smooth permit handling. The owner personally surveys your roof, reviews your electric bills, and returns before the city inspector arrives to confirm you're satisfied. We did spot one unresolved complaint about a problem that lingered for two months, so post-sale support isn't flawless. But if you're the type who wants a licensed contractor who'll coordinate with your roofer and install top-tier hardware without the markup, this is a solid pick.

If you want a big-name installer with a dedicated customer service team, look elsewhere. But if you prefer working directly with the owner and can tolerate the occasional communication gap, Calzona Solar delivers professional work at prices other companies can't match.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Terry Brands
GoogleNov 13, 2019

Terry ran into a serious problem caused by the company and spent two months trying to get it resolved; the issue still hasn’t been fixed. He ended up frustrated by the follow-up and left a one-star review — the lasting detail for buyers is simple: two months of unresolved trouble after the company created the problem.

The D. found Kevin through a Facebook solar group after months of being stuck with a half-finished rooftop system. They watched Kevin arrive early, quickly lay out what remained to be done and offer a fair estimate, then spend the day fixing sloppy work left by the previous contractor. What had dragged on for four months got resolved in a single day: Kevin diagnosed the problems, corrected poor workmanship and completed the final installation so the array now runs as intended. The detail that sticks is the one-day turnaround that not only finished the job but repaired the earlier contractor’s mistakes.

M T.
YelpAug 10, 2020

After digging into solar options and worrying about the usual stories of long leases and inflated labor costs, M T. tracked down Kevin on Craigslist while planning to buy equipment and hire an installer. Permit hassles proved tougher than expected, so they asked Kevin for a turnkey price that covered equipment, installation, design, labor and permitting — and discovered the all-in quote was about the same as buying the gear and hiring someone separately, so they let his team handle everything. They were also having a new roof installed, and Kevin (C46 licensed) coordinated directly with the roofer, making sure each solar-mount penetration was flashed and sealed by the roofing contractor so the roof warranty wouldn’t be jeopardized. Kevin’s crew installed high-end components: an 11 kW system made up of 34 U.S.-made LG 320 W modules, 34 Enphase IQ7+ microinverters, and an Enphase combiner/Envoy. The standout detail for them was the roof coordination — it removed a major worry and left them with a professionally integrated system. They suggest anyone considering solar get a quote from Kevin so they can compare a true turnkey option.

What You Can Expect

Jeff H.
YelpMay 1, 2025

Jeff H. had Kevin comb through his past electric bills and walk the roof and surrounding landscape before presenting a detailed plan. He ended up with a solar array plus a battery backup, and the crew finished the install quickly, neatly, and professionally. Kevin came back ahead of the city building inspector to make sure he was happy, and the system passed inspection without any issues. The pre-inspection check — verifying the work before the official inspection — is the detail that made the permit stage seamless and left him confident in the installation.

Jason R. hired the company to add a solar pool heater and experienced a hands-on, start-to-finish process from the initial quote through the final invoice. He watched the owner arrive on time, work professionally, and take on tasks that went beyond the original scope to make sure everything was done right. The install delivered solid value, and what stood out most was the owner’s punctual, above-and-beyond approach to the job.
