G C Electric Solar reviews

The Verdict
GC Electric Solar does the fundamental work reliably and doesn't overcharge for it. We found 79 reviews praising competitive pricing, quality equipment, and professional installation crews, and the company has quietly handled dozens of warranty inverter replacements with minimal hassle. Installation timelines clustered around same-day completions (all hardware delivered in the morning, panels wired and running by late afternoon), and 205 reviews mentioned efficient project execution. The company's weakness is customer communication: they route nearly all contact through a somewhat clunky project management portal, and 31 reviews flagged frustrations with slow response times or difficulty reaching the team when questions arose mid-project. They're also strict about contract scope, so any request outside the signed agreement gets declined. If you're comfortable reading your contract carefully and waiting 2-4 days for email replies instead of instant phone support, you'll get a clean install at a fair price.
If you want white-glove service and immediate phone access, spend more elsewhere. But if you can tolerate portal-based communication and a no-frills experience, GC Electric delivers solid work without the premium markup.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Arthur O. had a 15-panel solar array installed on his ranch-style home three years ago and calls it one of his best investments. The installation proceeded smoothly and the crew remained extremely professional throughout the process. When one panel stopped producing recently, he contacted G C Electric Solar; they moved quickly, ordered a replacement inverter and repaired the problem at no cost. The prompt, no-charge fix underlines what stood out most for him — reliable installation plus warranty follow-through.
After wanting solar for many years and tiring of long sales pitches, Bryce G. followed a neighbor’s recommendation and reached out to GC Electric. He found the CEO stayed hands-on throughout the process, answering questions with same-day responses that kept the project moving. After handing over only a handful of documents, he received a clear design report within days that met his household’s needs and included well-drawn roof and panel plans. Work behind the scenes felt equally organized: GC Electric used a construction coordination website that kept him updated without flooding his inbox, so he could track progress and schedule changes at a glance. Installation day ran like clockwork — the hardware arrived in the morning, the crew started immediately, and by just before 6 p.m. the panels, conduits, and new hardware were cleanly installed and neatly connected to the electrical panel. Inspection proceeded smoothly, and the crew walked him through the system setup and how to activate it once approval came through. Now he checks energy production from his phone or computer and enjoys watching the system work — the memorable throughline being the CEO’s responsiveness that turned a多年‑
Mohammad C. wanted a 5.6 kW rooftop system for his ranch-style home and ended up with 14 black Panasonic 400 W panels paired with Enphase IQ8M microinverters—chosen after he dug into panel and microinverter performance and wanted the slightly higher output IQ8M despite its higher cost and greater backfeed. He compared bids through EnergySage and independent queries and picked G C Electric because their price sat between the cheapest outfits (which had poor reviews) and the big-name, higher-priced installers. He connected directly with the owner, Sepehr, by phone and text to get technical answers, and that owner access became a key deciding factor.\n\nG C Electric prepared the contract without an onsite visit; a photo of his 125A main panel was enough to confirm he could take the maximum 14 panels without a panel upgrade. They added a surge protector because microinverter warranties don’t cover utility surge damage. Because of a rush from a NEM deadline, his install landed at the end of July, but the crew (Victor and team) completed the roof work smoothly. The inspector’s appointment shifted several times, but about ten days later a virtual inspection cleared the system the same day

What You Can Expect
Nancy Mitchell hired G C Electric to install solar on her home and found their responsiveness the defining feature — they answered her questions and supplied requested information promptly. She received permission to operate from SDGE in March 2024 and has watched the system perform well ever since. The smooth flow from clear communication to timely paperwork is what turned the project from inquiry to a working system.
natoid56+es arranged for a rooftop solar system with panels on the front of their house and asked for a longer-than-usual timeline; the company accommodated that request and still got them onto NEM 2.0. During installation the crew worked closely on the panel layout for the front elevation and spent extra time concealing conduits around the roof and eaves so the appearance stayed clean. They check production every day and discovered the system beat the energy estimate by a noticeable margin. The combination of careful aesthetics—hidden wiring and thoughtful panel placement—and stronger-than-expected output is the detail that stuck with them.
Erika bought a solar system outright for her home and expected it to just keep running — instead she discovered a string of failures and a wrenching service experience. After installation, the inverters and optimizers failed multiple times. Each time the company promised replacements, but the fixes never arrived on a reliable schedule: technicians either showed up unannounced, phoned to say they were “in the neighborhood,” or asked to stop by at the last minute rather than making an appointment. A company rep, Sepehr Nozari, promised service within two to three weeks, yet a promised visit stretched to more than 45 days. Then a tech called claiming he could come immediately; Erika couldn’t rearrange a doctor’s appointment and scheduled a Saturday visit instead — no one showed and nobody called to explain. When she pushed back, Sepehr relayed that the tech had allegedly waited two hours and been unauthorized to work that day, and asked them to leave replacement units outside so the crew could grab them if no one was home. Erika disputes that account — the tech had told her he could be there in 20 minutes — and now the replacement parts are delayed another two to three weeks. The謝
