The Verdict
Keegan Electric Solar is the rare contractor where the owner answers the phone, shows up to your house, and installs your system himself. We analyzed reviews spanning seven years and found that kind of consistency matters. One homeowner called six solar companies before signing with anyone, spoke to Jesse first, and never bothered getting the other five quotes because he passed what she called
If you want a solar installer who won't farm your job out to a subcontractor you've never met, Keegan Electric Solar is worth calling. You'll pay a fair price for work the owner guarantees for ten years, and if something breaks, you'll reach the person who wired your roof on the first try.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
This homeowner ended up with a solar installation that looks intentionally finished — Jessie ran the wiring behind the walls and even swapped out an undersized conduit so there are no exposed cables, all for a reasonable price. After vetting four contractors, they found Jessie the most accurate at sizing their energy needs, the most punctual with appointments and callbacks, and the most affordable option. Jessie came across as affable and patient, willing to walk through questions about cost and system complexity until everything made sense. Keegan Electric handled the physical work with care: the installation quality felt high, the crew stayed polite and tidy, cleaning up each day and never disrupting household routines, and the company scheduled every step to fit the homeowner’s timetable. The detail that lingered most was the hidden wiring and the proactive conduit replacement — the sort of workmanship that separates a basic install from a carefully considered one.
Bob A. decided to go solar about four or five months ago after realizing the hot tub was costing his household a small fortune. He started skeptical — not an environmental zealot — but resolved to call a bunch of companies himself and compare options. He had heard Jesse Keegan on the radio and called Keegan first; Jesse answered the phone, came to the house for the appointment, and kept handling the job in person afterward. Bob discovered that Jesse knew the technology, kept the sales pitch low-pressure, and was bluntly honest, so Bob abandoned his plan to shop around and signed with Keegan. A few weeks later, when the process was supposed to begin, it did: the service upgrade was handled on-site by Jesse and one helper, and then most of the delay came from waiting on the utility’s inspections. Once the utility approved, the roof-mounted array went up in about a day and a half, and activation followed after the final utility sign-off. Keegan provided a ten-year warranty and the manufacturer added another fifteen years, so Bob expects the panels to be operating near 95% efficiency 25 years out. He also ended up with a phone app that shows production around the clock, and last month—
Mark K. chose Jesse Keegan to install a 6 kW solar system on his home, outfitted with LG panels and Enphase micro‑inverters, and came away impressed with both the speed and craftsmanship. He had significant contracting experience and an electrical engineering degree, so he grilled several bidders and discovered most were sales reps with shaky technical answers, optimistic ROI claims, and little practical sense about roof readiness or how to integrate a panel upgrade. Jesse, by contrast, showed up as a hands‑on installer and electrician who answered every technical question correctly and explained exactly how the job would proceed. He elected to add a state‑of‑the‑art electrical panel upgrade instead of an RMA device, a choice that improves resale value and also qualifies for the 30% federal solar tax credit. Jesse’s familiarity with micro‑inverter systems — and the advantages they offer over a single‑inverter setup — stood out as a deciding factor, and his labor rates struck him as reasonable. Jesse’s support crew for roofing, stucco, and drywall repairs performed smoothly and left the house clean after each workday. Jesse also accommodated a tight timing goal to beat upcoming,

What You Can Expect
Martin S. in Escondido, CA turned to Jesse Keegan of Keegan Electric for years of electrical work—recessed lighting and outdoor lighting wiring among them—and in October 2015 Jesse installed a 21-microinverter solar system using LG panels and Enphase microinverters. He walked Martin through the entire process and timeline and kept him informed at every step, so the install never felt like a mystery. When Jesse needed to run wiring inside the walls and correct mistakes left by previous contractors, he made neat drywall cuts and left the interior looking tidy. Throughout, Jesse stayed organized and professional before, during, and after the jobs. Martin plans to use him again for more outdoor lighting and to add garage wiring for an electric‑car charger; the thing that stuck with him most was the careful drywall work and the fact that Jesse fixed others’ errors while keeping communication clear.
Cole C. has relied on Jesse and Keegan Electric for more than three years while renovating his ranch-style home. They handled a full interior electrical makeover — swapping in new power boxes, installing decorative can lights on dimmers, and updating bathroom lighting and vent fans — and most recently ran the electrical for a new spa and outdoor lighting. After years of juggling multiple contractors, he found relief in having one dependable company to call. Jesse and the team delivered top-quality work at a competitive price, took time to address his concerns and lay out options, and consistently worked cleanly and quickly. The crew came across as fun, friendly, and deeply knowledgeable, which made the projects far less stressful. Now he keeps Jesse’s number handy whenever an electrical job comes up.
