Ideal Solar reviews

Alex picked Jeff to install an American-made SolarWorld system on his home and waited two years before posting because he wanted to be sure the work held up. When a falling limb cracked one panel, he called Jeff, who arranged for an arborist he works with and ordered the replacement panel. Within a week the new panel was in and the array was back at 100% operation. What stuck with him was the quick, hands-on follow-up — a fast repair and a system that proved durable over time.

Dana E. ended up living in an RV for nearly five months after a sewage problem left her house uninhabitable, and the heat made that RV unbearable—temperatures were in the 100s and the inside climbed past 120 degrees. She needed power to run the RV but the older home simply didn’t have the capacity: the main panel, subpanel and receptacles couldn’t handle another plug. Jeff and the Ideal Solar and Electric crew stepped in, replacing the panel and subpanel, adding the required outlets, installing a new circuit to relieve an almost whole-house overload, and rewiring any unsafe wiring they discovered while they were there. The team kept Dana in the loop, stuck to the budget, handled change orders added on the fly without fuss, and finished in a reasonable time. The family walked away feeling much safer with their updated electrical system, and she already plans to have Ideal Solar install panels after the next roof replacement because she trusts Jeff to recommend what truly benefits her household rather than over- or undersell. What lingered with her most was the combination of technical fixes that made living conditions livable again and the crew’s straightforward integrity—Jeff, Josh

Bob M. hired Ideal Solar to put 44 panels and a new mounting system on his home, and Jeff and Josh showed up on time and kept him informed throughout the process. A permit delay from the City of Brentwood slowed the timetable, but otherwise the install moved smoothly and without surprises. He ended up with a neat, professional-looking array, and Jeff also took care of several additional electrical tasks while on site. What stood out most was the crew’s punctuality, steady communication, and Jeff’s pride in his workmanship — clean mounts, tidy wiring, and a finished system that transformed the roof’s appearance.

Jon B. contacted Ideal Solar about two years ago to install a 20-panel system on his home after getting competitive estimates from several companies. He chose Ideal largely because the equipment carried strong ratings, and the crew showed up on schedule and completed the install without hiccups. He intentionally waited two years before writing a review so he could judge real-world results — and discovered the array is performing better than he expected.

Dave A. wanted a reliable way to keep the house running during outages, so he had Jeff install an interlock on his electrical panel so a generator can power the home. He found the price fair and the service quality excellent. He ended up with a simple, affordable backup hookup that lets him run the house when the grid goes down.

Wendy V. struggled to find anyone willing to work in a room with very high ceilings, but Jeff stepped in and took the job. He and Josh installed a chandelier and a recessed light, handling the awkward height without delay. She found them friendly and professional throughout the visit, and the final price felt fair. The memorable part of the experience was that Jeff accepted a difficult install that others wouldn’t touch, leaving her with secure new lighting and a straightforward bill.

Ed D. hired the company for a residential solar installation and found the whole process refreshingly straightforward. He discovered Jeff was exceptionally responsive and punctual, and the installation work itself proved top‑notch. He walked away impressed by the combination of clear, timely communication and solid craftsmanship. The detail that sticks: Jeff’s responsiveness kept the project moving smoothly — Ed would hire them again without hesitation.

When Native decided to add two ceiling fans to their home, they called Jeff. He turned up, installed both fans quickly and at an affordable price, and left the fixtures working well. Native walked away pleased enough to pass Jeff’s name to a friend and to hire him again if needed, closing with a simple thanks.

Andrew called for a service visit when his rooftop solar system needed attention; Jeff kept him posted about arrival time, diagnosed the fault in roughly ten minutes, and finished the repairs in under an hour. He walked away impressed — the clear communication and unusually fast diagnosis-and-repair turnaround (ten minutes to find the problem, less than an hour to fix it) was the detail that stuck with him.
