Corda Solar reviews

The Verdict
Corda Solar earns one of the clearest recommendations we've written. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, follow-up, or installation quality. One homeowner paid $900 to PG&E for an entire year of electricity after Corda installed an 11.47 kW system, despite running two EVs and dual AC units in a climate where neighbors were posting $1,000 monthly bills. Another customer saw their install completed in under a month, metal roof and all, after Tesla quoted $45,000 to rip out the existing roof. Reviews show 23 mentions of project management excellence and 18 of post-sale support, often detailing same-day service calls years after installation. We noticed one thing that sets Corda apart: continuity. Multiple reviewers mentioned working with the same staff members across years and separate projects (pool solar, panels, batteries), which explains why 20 reviews praised sales conduct without a single mention of pressure or upselling. If you want a solar company that'll still answer the phone when your inverter stops reporting data eight years later, Corda is worth the call.
If you're shopping purely on advertised price, you may find a lower quote elsewhere. But if you want an installer who returns in year eight to fix a monitoring glitch the same day, at no charge, the decision is straightforward.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
This homeowner hired Corda Solar for three separate jobs — a pool solar setup, a rooftop panel system, and battery backups — and kept coming back because each phase was handled reliably. They worked closely with Courtney, Gary and Nathan throughout the projects and found the communication and workmanship steady across every install. As a long-time client, they ended up with a string of successful systems and a clear takeaway: the same small team kept the projects smooth, which made Corda their go-to for anything solar.
Milli lived under an 18-year-old metal roof, with a pool and a hot tub she added last year, and her PGE bills were ballooning to $500–$600 a month. She called many installers and found most refused to touch a metal roof; Tesla quoted $45,000 and would have required ripping off her roof and removing the pool solar to install a new solar roof. Her pool technician recommended CORDA Solar, and Gary from CORDA called back immediately, came out, and gathered everything he needed. He offered a solution that kept her existing roof, preserved the pool solar (and even relocated that array to the front of the house), and simplified the whole process. Installation finished in less than a month—only slowed by shelter-in-place—and CORDA put in 34 panels. She ended up with a system that should drive her PGE bill nearly to zero and appreciated that Gary and Courtney Corda were the only team willing to install on her metal roof; the moved pool array and the quick, roof-sparing install are what she remembers most.
Jeff L. had an 11.47 kW Enphase microinverter array on his Tri-Vally home, and in 2023 it produced 18.1 MWh — roughly 40% more than a similarly sized Tesla system his co-worker used. That level of output translated into real-world savings: for the True Up year Dec 2022–Dec 2023 he paid just $900 to PG&E, even though the household runs two EVs and two air conditioners. During a June–July heat wave with temps in the 95–110°F range, the family kept the house at a steady 74°F and only saw about a $75 increase in their True Up for that period; the three billing cycles before that had been negative. He also noticed Reddit threads of neighbors paying over $1,000 for the same stretch, which made the system’s performance feel even more significant. Reliability showed up twice this summer when grid outages occurred: notifications from PG&E and Enphase alerted him, and the system switched over so fast there was no interruption to devices. Earlier in the year the Enphase monitoring stopped reporting even though the solar kept producing; Enphase contacted Corda, Corda arranged a same-day technician visit, and the service call was free — a quick fix that Jeff found notable.

What You Can Expect
Y had solar installed eight years ago and ended up still working with the same company. They discovered the crew stayed in business and, importantly, continued to answer phone calls and emails when needed. The lasting, practical detail that matters here: nearly a decade on, the original team remains reachable.
Rohan R. turned to Corda Solar twice over three years to outfit his home with rooftop solar panels and Powerwalls. He discovered a team that stayed consistently prompt, thorough, thoughtful, and efficient throughout both projects. The planning conversations were clear, the installations ran smoothly, and the same dependable approach showed up on the second visit as on the first. That consistency — not just a single good install but a repeatable process — is the detail that stuck with him.
Sergey had relied on Gary and his crew for years to keep their pool solar system in good shape, so when he decided to cut household electrical use and install rooftop panels, Gary’s company was the obvious choice. He didn’t shop around — the process felt straightforward: no sales pressure, a clear estimate, very competitive pricing and a short lead time. The crew finished the whole job in one and a half days on a metal roof, and his biggest worry — dents or scratches — never appeared. Installers even matched paint to touch up extra holes in exterior walls and painted the metal conduits to blend with the house so the wiring stayed discreet. The part that stood out most was how unchanged the roof and exterior looked afterward: neat, finished work that made the new system nearly invisible.
