The Verdict

Clear Solar Solutions deserves your trust. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a company that steps in when others walk away. One homeowner watched Victor redesign an entire system mid-install after another contractor botched the job, turning a potential disaster into work the county inspector complimented. Another customer had a broken system sitting idle for months because every big-name installer refused service for eight weeks. Victor showed up the next day and fixed it in under an hour. That pattern of accountability shows up everywhere. Forty-six reviews mention quality craftsmanship without a single complaint about sloppy wiring or roof damage. Twenty-three reviews praise post-installation support, often for problems Clear Solar didn't create. Victor personally answers questions, returns for warranty fixes on tiles moved by previous installers, and helps customers adapt systems when they buy an electric car. The only recurring weakness is price. Several reviews note quotes ran higher than competitors, though most add the premium bought them an installer who genuinely cares whether the system works five years later.

If you want the cheapest quote, keep shopping. But if you need someone who'll redesign a failing system on the spot or show up next-day when your panels go dark, the premium is worth it.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Steven Greenlee
GoogleApr 18, 2024

Steven's home solar system had been offline for months, and the big providers couldn't offer a visit for at least two months. He turned to Victor and his team; they arrived within a day, diagnosed the problem and had the system back producing in under an hour. The memorable part was the rapid response — a same‑day visit and a sub‑hour repair that avoided the long wait others were scheduling.

J Carl
GoogleApr 26, 2018

In 2016 J Carl had already dealt with a poor solar install when Victor arrived to handle the job. He expected a routine mounting and wiring, but Victor tore into the project, redesigning the entire system rather than just finishing what was there. The work stood out: the county inspector praised the installation, and Victor and CSS Electric made clear they would stand behind the system and respond if anything went wrong. He ended up with a properly reworked system and the kind of hands-on support that proved the difference between a quick install and a job done right.

Jeff D'oca

Jeff D'oca had been wrestling with electrical problems in his solar system until Clear Solar Solutions came to the rescue. Their crew agreed to take on a job other companies declined, arrived promptly, traced multiple faults — including issues he hadn’t noticed — and got the system running smoothly again. They went beyond quick fixes, pointing out hidden problems and walking him through what needed attention, which left him confident the repairs were thorough. He gave them five stars and walked away with a reliably operating system and the peace of mind that the team handled what others wouldn’t.

What You Can Expect

Leah
GoogleOct 1, 2025

Leah hired Clear Solar Solutions to outfit her and her husband’s home with solar and discovered the whole process moved far faster than expected. From the first meeting with Victor through final installation, she felt listened to — the team patiently walked her and her husband through every detail, answered a long list of questions thoroughly, and never made them feel rushed. What stood out was the consistency across the crew: everyone on site came across as kind, professional, reliable and efficient, which kept the project smooth and virtually stress-free. Even though Leah and her husband were out of town for the final phase, the company provided step-by-step updates so they could see progress remotely. The crew worked through blazing heat, pushed to stay ahead of schedule, and made a point of going beyond basic expectations. Leah also appreciated that Clear Solar Solutions is family-owned, local, and straightforward about pricing and technical details — a knowledgeable team that got the job done without hassle. The detail she keeps returning to is the daily progress communication while she was away: it turned a potentially nerve-wracking finish into confidence that everything

Antonio Santini

Antonio hired the company for the installation of his home solar system. What stood out was how consistently the crew communicated and how thoroughly they cleaned up after each visit. He felt supported through every step — from the pre-install planning to the post-install follow-up — and the installers carried out the work skillfully, leaving a tidy site. He walked away confident the system was installed correctly and that the team would be reachable if any issues arose.

Sara Emerson
GoogleMay 3, 2025

Sara Emerson partnered with the installer to get her ranch-style home’s electricity bills down to net zero, and the project delivered exactly that outcome. When she later bought an electric car, the same team came back immediately and installed a charger that was integrated with her solar battery system so the car could take advantage of rooftop generation. She found the crew consistently reliable and respectful throughout both the initial install and the follow-up visit. The detail that stood out for her was the quick, seamless follow-up to add EV charging tied into the battery — not a separate add-on, but part of the home’s solar setup.
