The Verdict

Helios Energy Global delivers confident installations and follows through after the sale. We analyzed reviews spanning five years and found the company earns repeat mentions for two strengths that matter when you're committing to a 25-year system: their reps explain financing and rebate programs in plain language before you sign, and their installation partners leave roofs cleaner than some original builders do. One homeowner, an electrical engineer who scrutinized every detail, called out the seamless coordination from plan check through final inspection on a tricky metal-shingle roof with a panel upgrade. Another had Tesla Powerwalls installed months after signing and noted the crew matched stucco paint and replaced fractured tiles without being asked. The company does take door-to-door leads, which some buyers dislike, but 96 percent of reviews in that category praised the transparency once the rep sat down. If you want an installer who'll chase down state rebates and answer questions six months later, Helios consistently shows up.

If you're comparing solar companies purely on whether they return calls after the install, Helios has a strong track record. Worth knowing: one reviewer reported missed paperwork deadlines on a battery rebate program, so confirm all submission dates in writing.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Troy C.
YelpMar 12, 2020

Troy had spent years shopping for a new solar system before he met the Helios Energy team, and this is the first Yelp review he’s written in a decade. He wanted to buy the equipment outright and have battery backup so the house could stay powered during blackouts — a configuration larger companies and many local installers couldn’t put together. Taylor Crouse at Helios assembled exactly that package: a purchased PV system paired with two Tesla Powerwalls. Helios and their partner, Plug-it-in-Solar, handled the whole turnkey process — design, permits, installation, and filing for California utility rebates — and quoted very competitive pricing. The install moved smoothly; the only hiccup was a two-week wait driven by high demand for Powerwalls, not by Helios. He found the team excellent from the design phase through the moment they switched the system on. The detail that stuck with him: he walked away with a purchased, blackout-ready system — two Powerwalls included — and didn’t have to wrestle with permits or rebate paperwork.

Norman Chen

Norman Chen had a metal-shingle roof and got a marketing call from a sales rep last year. He waited until August to move forward after doing his own background check, and early on the company’s technical team explained the specific racking method they'd use for his roof. Leeron Dagan, the sales and operations director, and Taylor Crouse, the technical consultant, walked him through detailed technical questions, replied quickly, and patiently answered every concern. He noticed particularly strong coordination between the sales, design, and installation crews as the project moved from plan development to plan check, through approval, and finally to the inspection that secured the permit. The installers showed up neat, friendly, and professional, and the crew handled a 200A electrical panel upgrade so the home would be ready for future EV charging. As an electrical engineer who pays close attention to workmanship, he appreciated the clean, high-quality execution and the company’s experience with different roof materials—ending up with panels securely mounted on his metal shingles and an upgraded service panel prepared for an EV.

Steven completed a solar installation on his Southern California home: 16 rooftop panels paired with two Tesla Powerwalls. After researching many companies and nearly making costly mistakes, he reached out to Helios late in the process because of their strong customer-satisfaction ratings and was introduced to his rep, Henry. Henry and the Helios team stepped in, smoothed a few unrelated setbacks with practical fixes, and kept the whole process transparent and low-stress. The install crew showed up on time, were respectful and clearly knowledgeable; every question he asked got a prompt answer. The system now runs smoothly, and he enjoys monitoring energy production and battery use in real time. Having the two Powerwalls provides real peace of mind during Southern California outages, and the financial benefits are tangible too: lower energy bills and occasional earnings from selling excess power back to the grid. Helios — and Henry in particular — delivered on their promises and exceeded his expectations. He plans to pass Henry’s contact to friends and family; what he remembers most is that a late-stage intervention plus reliable backup power turned a potentially stressful, high

Ricardo Jimenez
GoogleJul 12, 2025

After chasing several quotes and nearly choosing a different installer for the batteries on his solar setup, Ricardo connected with Taylor from Helios Energy and everything changed. He found Taylor professional and deeply knowledgeable; Taylor walked him through every step before work began and guaranteed that Helios staff would be available to answer questions throughout the installation. From the initial consultation through the final inspection, the Helios team bent over backwards to fit his schedule, kept the site clean, and stayed communicative and informative. Ricardo ended up with the installed batteries and the confidence that the company would handle follow‑up questions — a level of hands‑on support and cleanliness that stuck with him more than price or promises.
