The Verdict

This installer leaves too many customers stranded with inoperable systems. We found 11 reviews describing projects that dragged on for a year or more, with panels sitting idle on roofs while homeowners paid monthly loan payments and full electric bills simultaneously. One customer reported paying $200 a month for 12 months on a system that never turned on because Greenpire never finished the utility paperwork. Another is still waiting two years later for basic inspection documents they need for their records. The workmanship scores look solid (68 reviewers praised the install crews for speed and tidiness), but post-sale support collapses once the panels go up. Multiple customers say the office stopped answering calls entirely after installation. When things go right, Greenpire moves fast and leaves clean work. When permitting or utility activation hits a snag, you may find yourself in a months-long limbo with no one picking up the phone.

If you want panels installed quickly and your project has zero permitting complications, Greenpire's crews will likely do tidy work. But if anything goes sideways with inspections or utility approvals, you risk joining the customers still chasing paperwork a year later while paying for electricity and a loan at the same time.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Octavio L.
YelpAug 29, 2024

Octavio L. hired Greenpire to install solar panels, but more than a year after the project started the installation still hasn't been completed. He found the company's office stopped answering the phone and doesn't know how to reach anyone at Greenpire now. Meanwhile he's been paying about $200 a month on the system, yet the panels never began operating. He left a one‑star review — the striking takeaway is that after over a year of delay he's still making monthly payments for equipment that never produced power.

Lupe had solar panels installed on her home, and nearly two years later she still hasn't received the Building and Safety final inspection paperwork. She kept calling the company repeatedly; they promised callbacks that never came, and the documents she asked for never arrived. The system isn't performing correctly, and her electric bill climbed to the highest level she's ever seen. Frustrated, she planned to reach out again, but the takeaway is blunt: after almost two years she remains without the final inspection copies and with a system that isn't lowering — and may be raising — her bills.

Shahin had been hesitant about switching to rooftop solar, but Mia guided him through a process that turned out to be surprisingly smooth and even enjoyable. The crew moved quickly—before he knew it the panels were installed and the DWP inspection followed right after. They went the extra mile by trimming one of his oldest trees so the array could reach maximum production, a hands-on detail that really stood out. He referred family members afterward and is already looking forward to the savings the system should deliver. The memorable part for him wasn’t just the speed or friendliness, but that the team optimized the site instead of treating the job as just another install.

Gia DaSilva found Greenpire made the move to solar on her home surprisingly easy. She experienced steady, clear communication from the start — the team walked her through each step, answered questions, and explained the technical details in plain language. Installers arrived on schedule, worked efficiently, and had the system up and running without hassle. Within weeks the panels were producing as expected and she was already seeing the benefits. What stuck with her most was that constant, proactive communication: it turned what could have been a stressful upgrade into a straightforward, well-managed process.

Erick M.
YelpNov 20, 2024

Erick M. doesn't usually write reviews, but he made an exception after Greenpire stepped in to help his family. He found Greenpire to be very helpful and honest after an earlier solar contractor took advantage of his mom; that first company overcharged her and then wasn't any help when the installation failed to pass. He warns others to avoid that original firm — he identified them as Jewish, while stressing that he loves Jewish people and that every group has both good and bad individuals. The detail that stuck with him was Greenpire’s straightforward, helpful response when the first company left them stranded.
