The Verdict

Del Sol Energy will chase down a faulty inverter manufacturer for months and then replace the entire system at their own expense. We found an industry engineer who researched dozens of installers for his own home, chose Del Sol for their technical honesty, and watched them swap out a problematic inverter when the manufacturer dragged its feet. They also stepped in to honor another company's abandoned warranty, fixing a system they didn't originally install. Fourteen reviewers praised their workmanship without a single complaint, and thirteen called out their straightforward sales process. The install crew runs conduit to match your house paint, leaves spare roof tiles for future repairs, and preps systems for batteries you haven't bought yet. One customer changed her panel count three times during quoting and the advisor responded to every revision without complaint. Communication around scheduling can lag (one installer arrived to replace a panel without warning, another rescheduled without notice), but the equipment choices hold up and the crew cleans up after itself.

If you want the cheapest bid, keep shopping. But if you want an installer who'll replace a failing component out of pocket rather than point you to a warranty hotline, Del Sol is worth the premium.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Edward first met Del Sol when a previous solar installer walked away from his warranty and left his system in need of repair. Del Sol stepped in, repaired the system, and delivered solid results. Later, when he wanted a new solar setup for a second home, they produced a professional project design, offered a very competitive price, and handled installation with attentive service. The memorable thread through both experiences was that Del Sol rescued a neglected system and then backed that up with a well-documented, affordably priced installation for the second property — the warranty rescue and the clear project proposal are what stayed with him.

svd104 worked in engineering and finance within the solar industry for years, so when it came time to choose an installer for their own home they researched extensively and interviewed five companies. They chose Del Sol for an honest, straightforward approach, the ability to answer detailed technical questions, and competitive pricing. The crew installed the system professionally, ran the conduit neatly and even painted it to match the house. Soon after commissioning, they discovered unexpected problems with the inverter. When resolving those issues through the inverter manufacturer threatened to take a very long time, Del Sol stepped up — replaced the inverter with a unit from a different manufacturer and covered the cost themselves. What stood out to them was Del Sol’s willingness to take responsibility and swap the inverter rather than leave the customer stuck in a months-long manufacturer limbo.

After months of comparing local quotes — including Tesla — Mrsc narrowed her choice to Del Sol. She pressed the team with questions about how much energy to produce (their oldest son was moving back in), bounced between 24, 29 and finally 27 panels, and watched as PJ patiently handled every tweak and recalculation. She learned early on that the company treated roof attachment as a technical priority, walking her through their mounting and racking systems so she could avoid future leaks where they had to drill into her roof. The crew used what she called superior products and even left extra concrete tiles in case replacements were needed later. The install took three days. Installers arrived professional, answered questions on-site, and kept the work neat — they ran conduit from the roof to the utility box and painted it to match the house, a finishing touch she didn’t expect and really appreciated. PJ stopped by during the process to update the timeline and resolve any last-minute questions. Beyond looks, the payoff mattered: she ended up with a well-mounted 27-panel system and a tangible financial result — they now pay less owning their solar system than they did to PGE, so

What You Can Expect

tlbryning walked into Del Sol Energy’s showroom seeking a full-home solar setup and ended up with a flawless, on-schedule installation and a new favorite habit: checking live system numbers. They watched the project move from first meeting through final hookup exactly on the timeline given, with Brian patiently explaining every detail and the office staff and installers behaving professionally at every step. The crew completed the job cleanly and to spec, and the ENPHASE app lets them see generation, home consumption and what’s being sent back to the grid in real time — a feature that has become the standout payoff of the whole experience.

Jeanneb1020 arranged a Del Sol solar install for her home and found the whole process smooth and uncomplicated. She appreciated being kept in the loop at every step, watched the crew arrive and complete the work on the promised date, and experienced helpful follow-up after the installation finished. The system delivered the savings she hoped for, and what stuck with her most was the combination of reliable scheduling and clear communication.

robertbakerian was racing the year‑end tax‑incentive cutoff when he started collecting quotes for a solar system. He found multiple bids that were pricier and couldn’t guarantee a December install, and only Del Sol Energy offered the LG panels he wanted. Pete at Del Sol guaranteed the job would be finished before year‑end and priced the LG 315W panels well below the competition, then backed the entire install with a 30‑year warranty. He watched Pete push the schedule hard and coordinate the crew; when installers arrived they had all 21 panels up in under eight hours. Del Sol also handed over the HOA paperwork and even painted the conduit to match the house, a finishing touch he appreciated. He stands by this local company because they met the deadline, delivered the specific panels he wanted at a strong price, and left him with full documentation and a long warranty.
