Family First Solar Electric reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
We recommend Family First Solar Electric without reservation. In multiple cases, they stepped in to fix systems botched by other companies at half the cost with higher-quality equipment. One reviewer cycled through two failed installers before Anthony's crew completed the final-inspection work in record time for 50% less than competing bids. We found 25 mentions of workmanship quality with only one negative, and 21 reviews praised post-installation support with just a single complaint. Two patterns stand out: Anthony gives accurate phone estimates that don't inflate at contract time (one homeowner said his final bill matched the ballpark quote exactly, even after years of comparison shopping), and the crew will travel outside their region to repair systems they didn't install. In one case, they drove to Temecula to replace an inverter on a competitor's job, showed up on time, and walked the homeowner through every step. If you want an installer who answers technical questions instead of handing you off to three different departments, this is your pick.
If you're comparing purely on price, you may find a lower quote from a national chain. But if you want an installer whose owner gives you accurate estimates over the phone and actually answers when something breaks two years later, the value is unmatched.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Fer had already been through two installers and a lot of frustration before finding Family First Solar Electric, led by owner Anthony. They discovered Anthony moved the project to completion quickly—getting everything ready for the final inspection in record time—while charging about 50% less than the other quotes and using equipment that clearly outclassed the pricier bids. Anthony ran the job from first contact through handoff, and the service stayed impeccable the whole way. The standout detail that stuck with Fer: the owner delivered a faster, inspection-ready install at roughly half the cost without sacrificing equipment quality.
Steve L. had an inverter fail on his Temecula home and watched Family First Solar drive out to replace it — even though the system wasn’t one of theirs. He booked a slot, they committed to a date and time, and Juan and Miguel arrived punctually, friendly and professional. The pair walked him through the repair, completed the replacement thoroughly, and left the system working. Maria and Anthony handled the back-and-forth communication, keeping him informed from scheduling through completion. What stood out to him was that a company would travel to help with someone else’s system and back that service with clear, attentive customer support.
James realized he never left a review after his solar install when his father asked whether he was happy and wondered why the company had so few Google reviews. After years of shopping around — getting quotes that felt inflated by commissions and dealing with big national names like Mona Lee, Project Solar and Tesla — he finally picked Family First for a neighborhood rooftop system. He had grown frustrated with impersonal sales chains and with Tesla’s older centralized inverter approach that lacks panel-level optimizers, so he appreciated that Family First kept the process simple and consistent. Most of his conversations stayed with one contact, Anthony, who proved knowledgeable and kept everyone aligned whenever other staff members needed to weigh in. Installation went smoothly, the team listened to his preferences, and he ended up with the system he wanted at a price he considered fair. About two years after the install he’s had no problems, so he can’t speak to warranty claims or post-install service other than that everything has stayed trouble-free. What lingered for him was the continuity — one go-to person who kept the project coherent — and the fact that two years later the

Christian T. had Family First install solar panels on his three-story house with a challenging roofline a little over a year ago. He picked them because they quoted the best price for the system he wanted, and the final invoice matched that quote exactly. Anthony designed a layout that squeezed maximum production out of awkward roof space while keeping the panel count low. The crew worked professionally and left behind top-notch workmanship; their attention to detail showed in decisions like color-matching the electrical conduit to the walls and roof so it hardly stands out. He values the thoughtful design and the predictable final price—those discrete touches are what stuck with him.
