Homegrown Energy Solutions reviews

pchau84 moved forward with Homegrown to outfit their home with solar and found Ben easy to work with from the start. He kept communication steady through the site inspection, the installation itself, and the months after, answering every question they raised. More than two years on, they haven’t had any issues and are pleased with the system’s output. Price also played a role: Homegrown’s quote came in lower than most bids they saw from both large companies and independent installers. What stands out for them is the mix of responsive, ongoing support during the process and a system that continues to deliver excellent performance after two years.

Peter chose Homegrown for a home solar install and found Ben easy to work with from the outset. He appreciated that Ben stayed communicative through the in-person inspection, the installation, and long after the system went live, answering every question along the way. More than two years on, the panels have delivered excellent output and he hasn’t experienced any issues. Pricing mattered too: Homegrown’s quote came in lower than most of the large and small independent installers he compared. What stuck with him was the steady, ongoing support combined with trouble-free performance at a price that beat most competitors.

Helen chose HomeGrown Energy Solutions for a residential solar install and discovered a notably hands-on team. The crew completed the installation quickly, left the roof and yard clean and neat, and double‑checked that SDG&E followed through on the utility side. During the process someone was always reachable to answer questions, and that availability didn’t fade—six years later they still pick up the phone and patiently walk her through any concerns. What stands out most is that long-term responsiveness and the attention to utility coordination; she’s even disappointed they don’t service the area she’s moving to now.

In February 2022 Paul hired Homegrown Energy Solutions to install a photovoltaic system on his Serra Mesa home. He ended up with a tidy, well-performing system: the crew routed wiring through the garage and attic so conduit is mostly out of sight, preserving the house’s appearance. The team stayed easy to reach, kept him informed, and showed up when they promised, so the install proceeded without headaches or drama. After the job was finished they continued to answer his questions promptly, reinforcing the sense of an honest, professional operation. What lingered most was how unobtrusive the work looked — wiring tucked away — combined with straightforward communication and reliable follow-up.

Dinoeperez hired Homegrown Energy Solutions to install solar on his house about a year ago, then called them back recently to do a second install on a rental house. He watched them map out the system, navigate permitting, lock in a price and complete the installation both times. The standout detail was the repeat hire — the team delivered the same end-to-end service twice, handling planning, permits, pricing and installation with consistent results. He ended up with two successful solar installs a year apart, which is the clearest takeaway for anyone considering their services.

Susan connected with Peter Muzzy at Homegrown Energy Solutions when she started a home solar installation and was impressed right away. Peter took plenty of time to walk through options and answered every question, and the company kept communication open and clear throughout the project. She watched the installation proceed without hiccups, with every aspect handled smoothly. The detail that stuck with her was the consistently excellent communication — regular updates and thorough answers that kept the whole process calm and predictable.

Atta E. had been hurriedly trying to get solar installed, and Jan and Ben ultimately convinced him to go ahead. More than a year after the system went live, he discovered an SDG&E bill showing a $127.13 credit for last year’s electricity — tangible proof the panels are already reducing costs. He considers the installation the best thing they’ve done to the house and still can’t thank Jan and Ben enough; that unexpected credit is the detail that sealed the decision for him.

Shopping for a high-ticket home upgrade, rjmartindale set out to add solar and a new main service panel and discovered Ben Neuman at Homegrown Energy Solutions handled everything with uncommon clarity and care. They received a plain‑spoken, fully itemized quote and paperwork that laid out California rebates and incentives, plus a spreadsheet forecasting energy savings so the financials felt tangible rather than vague. When a personal delay forced a later install, Ben rescheduled without fuss and there were literally no surprises from contract to handoff. The crew installed 21 REC panels in two roof‑matched arrays with Enphase inverters and all accompanying warranties; the whole rooftop work finished in one full day. What stood out most was the attention to finish work — the installers routed all wiring through the attic so there are no external conduits, touched up paint where needed, and left clean lines that match the roof. The Enphase app was set up on both Android and iPhone so monitoring began right away. For them, the combination of transparent paperwork and a virtually invisible, professionally finished installation made the difference.

Robert was nervous about hiring a contractor for a major home upgrade but discovered Homegrown Energy Solutions, run by Ben Neuman, and immediately appreciated the focus on customer service throughout the project. He received a no-frills, fully itemized quote with everything broken down in writing, clear explanations of California rebates and incentives, and contract and invoice paperwork arranged to make filings straightforward. When he needed to push the installation back a few weeks, Ben reorganized the schedule without hiccups, so the process felt consistently reliable. Ben supplied detailed product sheets, walked through inverter and panel choices, and provided a spreadsheet that projected energy savings over time — the kind of dollar-and-cents clarity that made the investment feel tangible. Ben also handled the new Main Service Panel: he produced the quote, set the schedule, and coordinated the install. The system used REC Group panels and Enphase inverters, all well-reviewed and warrantied. The installation team worked efficiently and courteously. They installed 21 panels in two arrays in a single full day, routing all wiring through the attic so there were no external cab
