The Verdict
Green Energy EPC delivers exactly what homeowners want from a solar installer: competent work, zero sales pressure, and an owner who answers the phone six years later. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found not a single complaint about workmanship or follow-through. One customer called Sam in 2021 needing specialty roof clips for an unrelated project. Sam remembered him from a 2015 install, had the parts on hand, and refused payment. (If you've ever tried to get a contractor to return a call about something they already billed you for, you know how rare that is.) The company's distinction is Sam's dual role as both electrical engineer and project manager. He calculates system size with you at the kitchen table, then shows up on the roof to ensure his crew hammers attachments in the right spots. 43 reviews praised installation quality with specific details. 56 mentioned sales conduct, nearly all noting the absence of artificial deadlines or upselling. If you want the cheapest quote in town, keep shopping. But if you want an installer who'll remove panels for free when your painter needs roof access, this is the crew.
If you value a solar company that will still pick up the phone years after installation, Green Energy EPC is worth the premium over faceless national chains.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Jim L. had Sam install a residential solar system on his house in 2015, and the array has run flawlessly ever since. Years later, while working on an unrelated job that required mounting hardware for a standing-seam metal roof, he hit a dead end trying to source the special roof clips he needed. He called Sam, who answered the phone immediately, remembered him six years on, and was eager to help. Sam told him he had the clips in stock and invited him to pick them up that day; when Jim arrived, Sam handed over the fairly expensive parts and refused to accept payment. The memorable part of the experience isn’t just that the system performed reliably, but that Sam and Green Energy EPC provided personal, no-cost support well after installation — answering the phone and solving a practical problem on the spot six years later.
Pappu R. dug into solar options with careful bill analysis and didn’t want an oversized array because SDGE pays little for overgeneration. He discovered that Sam arrived with near-identical calculations and extra factors Pappu hadn’t considered, and what set the experience apart was Sam’s engineer-first approach: he explained technical details in plain language, avoided hard sells and fake deadlines, and mapped out how to plan for future energy growth and efficiency improvements. Sam also drilled into installation workmanship—down to where the crew would drive nails—to avoid the small mistakes that can lead to roof leaks. That practical focus gave Pappu confidence that he wasn’t paying extra for a big-name sales pitch. Sam recommended a roofer who delivered solid work at a fair price. After the sale Sam didn’t return in person, but his crew arrived on time, executed the install cleanly, and even tightened a loose 220V outlet they didn’t have to touch, a small gesture that underscored how friendly and thorough the crew was. Stacy managed the approvals and paperwork, kept Pappu updated, and hit the original timeline. A year on, the roof is holding up and the Panasonic panels “p
In 2017, Yelper decided to put solar on their home and gathered five bids to compare options. They preferred working directly with the named contractor and chose Green Energy EPC after meeting Sam, the co-owner, because dealing with the owner cut out layers of communication that can create delays and confusion. Sam recommended a 6.7 kW DC system sized to match the household’s prior 12‑month usage of 10,700 kWh: 21 LG Neon2 320 W panels, 21 optimizers, and an SE 7600 inverter. He explained how the system would work, projected annual production of 10,752 kWh, and the homeowner approved the contract. The installation, electrical hookup, and city inspection all went smoothly, and Sam stayed on site or was readily reachable to answer questions and handle small issues. When the system hit its first year in service on 10-15-18, the SolarEdge monitoring showed 11,680 kWh produced — about 8.5% more than the estimate. The homeowner watched the usual “high usage” comparison warnings from the utility stop (despite running a pool pump and air conditioning), and the rooftop generated more than $3,240 worth of electricity in that year. After applying the 30% federal tax credit, the economics,

What You Can Expect
Lon M. chose Green EPC after getting multiple quotes and ended up most impressed by Sam’s approach. He discovered that Sam focused on educating him about system options and performance instead of pushing a sale, and EPC spent more time explaining things than any other company he contacted. The system has been running for almost two years, and during that time he referred several friends — all of whom are happy with their installations. He thanked Stacy and the Green EPC team for their work. The detail that stuck with him: a sales rep who taught him enough to make confident choices, backed by a system that has performed well over time.
