Krannich Solar USA is a wholesale supplier, not an installer, so most reviews come from contractors ordering panels and equipment. We found a clear split. Contractors with longstanding accounts report smooth ordering and responsive reps who remember their preferences. One installer has used Krannich for six years without a single order error, and another specifically named four staff members who 'rock.' But the handful of negative reviews reveal serious delivery problems. We spotted three instances where panels arrived damaged or incomplete, and in one case a customer waited months for replacement panels that the warehouse claimed to have lost even though the invoice showed they were paid for. Communication breaks down when something goes wrong. One buyer reported an 8 a.m. delivery that never showed, and when he called for an update at 9 a.m., no one answered. The rep eventually admitted the order was still sitting in the shop. If you're a contractor comparing distributors, you'll want a backup supplier in case Krannich's logistics fail you at the worst possible time.
If you're an established contractor with a dedicated rep, Krannich offers competitive pricing and a wide inventory. But recent delivery failures suggest their fulfillment process has weak points that can leave you waiting on panels or stuck with damaged goods.
Justin G. ended up dealing with a solar shipment that arrived with no warning at all, only to find the panels and equipment were damaged in transit. Instead of stepping in to replace the ruined gear, the company pushed back, and the shipping bill was steep on top of it. What stuck with him most was that the hardware showed up broken and the company didn’t seem willing to make it right.
Jesi had bought and paid for 260 TR285 panels from Krannich’s California branch for a solar project that had already moved into logistics mode, only to have half the shipment show up. At first, the missing five pallets were blamed on the courier, with a warning that a claim could take up to two months before anything got resolved. Once the bill of lading was checked and it became clear Krannich had only handed over 130 panels in the first place, the explanation shifted again: the rest had supposedly disappeared inside their warehouse, and there was no replacement inventory left. She was still waiting on the panels, caught in a back-and-forth that left the impression of a company far more reluctant to fix the problem than to collect the payment.
Mark expected an 8 a.m. delivery for his order, the kind of early drop-off that can set a whole installation day in motion, but by 9 a.m. nothing had arrived and his calls to the salesman went unanswered. When he finally reached the office, he discovered the order was still sitting in the shop instead of on its way. What should have been a simple scheduled delivery turned into a morning of chasing down answers and losing trust before the work had even begun.

For six years, Vince kept coming back to the same solar supply shop and found the kind of consistency that turns a vendor into a go-to partner. His material orders stayed accurate, and whenever something did go sideways, the team worked to make it right and treated his business like a priority. What stood out most was the relationship he built with Patrick, Brett, Erika, and Nick — the reps he came to rely on because they kept the operation running smoothly year after year.
Fred found steady support during the early stages of his company’s solar work, with Ean helping throughout the startup phase and Patrick pitching in as well.

Jonathan found a straightforward solar shopping experience here, with the kind of team that made the process feel easy and the pricing and product lineup landing in the same sweet spot. It was the mix of solid gear and fair numbers that stood out, more than any sales pitch or fuss.
Over roughly a decade of doing business with them, Drew kept coming back to the same conclusion: the mix of price, value, and selection was hard to beat. The experience felt less like a one-off transaction and more like a long-running relationship, with the company looking out for customers and consistently delivering the kind of industry value that made others seem far behind.
Keith kept finding the same dependable setup each time he showed up: someone was already there to look over the order and make sure things were on track. That steady attention made the visit feel organized and easy, with a team that was ready to help instead of leaving him waiting around.
