Empowered Energy Solutions reviews

Susi T. brought Empowered Energy Solutions in to design roof-mounted solar for her newly built home, and the project moved quickly and smoothly. She appreciated that the team sized the array to match her expected usage, and the result is a very low annual electric bill; over the years the system has operated without trouble. She plans to add more capacity when she buys an electric car, and she has pointed several friends their way — all of whom ended up pleased with the work.

WOODLAND VILLAGE APARTMENTS ran a robust multi-bid process to hire a contractor for a sizable PV installation across their property and ultimately chose EES. During installation and in the three years since, they encountered the sorts of issues that come with a large system, and EES consistently responded quickly and with sensitivity to each concern. That steady, long-term responsiveness — from competitive bidding through post‑install follow-up — is the detail that stood out most. Because EES handled both the project’s scale and the ongoing issues reliably, they now point to that responsiveness as the reason they would steer others toward the company.

The Miller Family needed a ground-mounted solar array on a 35-year-old property and wanted to keep panels clear of shade from mature trees while avoiding their septic field, buried water lines and landscape-lighting wiring. Construction quickly hit snags because there were no records and memories had faded, but Empowered dug into problem-solving rather than padding the bill with expensive change orders. The crew kept testing layout options until they landed on a plan that preserved yard functionality, limited the restricted area, and kept cost and installation time down. Five years on, the system has been almost trouble-free and has produced about 3% more energy than estimated, and when minor glitches occurred the company responded quickly and fixed them effectively. Confident enough in that outcome, the Millers turned right around and hired Empowered again to install solar for a retail center they own — a detail that underlines why they trusted the company for a second, larger project.

In July 2015 Greg W. brought Empowered onto his ranch-style home project, and the process started with a thorough, personalized analysis of his power usage that produced a tailored proposal. He watched the installation unfold with onsite work he found second to none, and whenever questions or minor issues popped up the team answered quickly and in plain language so he could follow along. The relationship didn’t end at handoff — Empowered continued to support his system and help with ongoing monitoring. He singled out Ted and the Empowered Energy Team for their responsiveness, and what stuck with him most was that a job completed years earlier still receives active, hands-on care.

Pat P. had Empowered Energy Solutions put a solar array on his home a little over a year ago with a single, practical goal: install just enough panels to avoid paying SDG&E. They discovered that the installation hit that target precisely — after one year the utility actually owed them $31, a tidy confirmation that the panel-count estimate was spot-on. From the first call through project completion, EES staff stayed knowledgeable, efficient, personable, and endlessly patient as they fielded a “million” questions. Pat walked away convinced the system will deliver substantial long-term savings, and the detail that sticks is the accuracy of the sizing — a year later the homeowner’s utility balance was in the black by $31.

When Verena K. and her husband bought their house two years ago, they shopped among four solar companies before choosing Empowered Energy Solutions. What set Empowered apart was that the team promised more than just panels — they pledged to make the entire home more energy efficient. They walked the couple through different panel types and sizes tailored to the household’s actual energy use, and Verena was struck by how much knowledge and practical insight they shared. The installation itself moved smoothly: the project manager stayed on top of details, responded quickly whenever a minor issue popped up, and the crew arrived on time and worked professionally. Two years after the installation, the couple is still pleased with the system and keeps calling Empowered with questions; the company continues to pick up the phone and help them fine-tune efficiency. The detail that sticks most is the ongoing support — not just a one-off install, but a company that taught them how to use less energy and stayed available afterward.

Pamela G. called Empowered Energy Solutions for an energy analysis several years ago after asking about energy-saving devices and solar. She found owner Ted so knowledgeable that she picked his company immediately. Instead of upselling a larger, pricier array, he recommended lower-cost efficiency measures first — one of which was a computerized pool pump — then installed a smaller solar system to match the reduced demand. On a few occasions since, she needed help with the pump and Ted answered within the hour and fixed the issue each time. Years after the installation, the fast, hands-on follow-up kept standing out: practical recommendations up front, professional installation, and unusually responsive service long after the sale.

Ramcobob did his homework and, after interviewing several installers, picked Empowered to put solar on a home with a unique tile roof. He trusted the panels to perform but worried about the mechanical side because replacement tiles weren’t available anywhere. By the end of the first day the crew had broken about 30 tiles and he was left with only roughly ten spares—others tried to reassure him, but he stayed uneasy knowing replacements were scarce. When the job finished he discovered every tile had been replaced; the installer had spent days scouring roof-tile suppliers across three counties and returned with so many matching tiles that he ended up with more spares than he started with. The extra tiles and the lengths they went to source them are the detail he still tells people about—the first and only major job he can honestly call perfect.

Lulu chose the same solar outfit her father had trusted for his buildings, businesses and the family home, and when he told her to stop signing with another company she did — a decision that kept her from getting tangled with what turned out to be a scam. She found the whole process seamless: the team came to her house, spoke plainly and knowledgeably, and every question the installers in person or the women on the phone encountered got resolved. Living under one of San Diego’s most demanding HOAs could have been a nightmare, but the crew never complained; they patiently handled approvals and the paperwork themselves. The outcome was simple and clear — reliable panels, no red tape to fight, and a story she tells everyone who asks.
