The Verdict

This company will take your money and leave you with higher bills than before. We found multiple customers who paid tens of thousands for systems that either stopped working within years or never produced the promised savings. One homeowner reported a $545 increase over the previous year despite traveling most of it, another saw bills climb so high they demanded their money back and got silence. When panels fail, you'll wait months for repairs. We tracked repair timelines stretching four to five months even under warranty, with customer service that one reviewer called

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Greta G.
YelpOct 24, 2021

Greta G. signed on for a residential solar system about a year ago after being promised her electric bill would be as low as roughly $10 a year. She paid nearly $30,000 for the installation expecting big savings, but instead discovered her utility charges climbed higher than before and the panels produced no reduction in costs. She sought a refund and support, only to face unresponsive, unhelpful customer service and no remediation. Convinced the company behaved dishonestly from the outset, she ended up with $0 saved and no recourse after the expensive installation.

Nar V.
YelpOct 12, 2021

Nar V. had Levi Builders install a home solar system and watched the project turn into a long, frustrating ordeal. After the crew finished, activation dragged on for an extended period, and when the first electric bills arrived they were higher than before the panels went up. An independent technician discovered that roughly half the panels weren’t producing, but Levi Builders insisted the system was fine. When Nar asked for the installer’s technician report, Levi Builders declined to provide it and instead emailed what looked like a message from the technician saying the system was working. The end result: a system that didn’t deliver expected savings, delayed activation, and a withheld inspection report — the clearest red flag being the outside tech’s finding that about half the panels were not functioning while the installer maintained everything was okay.

Jesus R.

Jesus R. wanted solar on his home but watched the project turn into a long, frustrating ordeal. He liked the sales reps’ personalities, yet the company failed to follow through: he had stressed tight timing because he works full time and asked for a half‑hour heads‑up before installers arrived — Levi Builders promised those calls, but none ever came. The installation itself became a headache, and the promised savings never showed up. After paying Levi Builders and the utility, he ended up $545 worse off than the previous year even though he and his household traveled most of the year and used less power. The system hasn’t produced as he was led to expect, his bills didn’t fall, and his attempts to get help met only with the company’s answer that nothing could be done. What lingers is a clear number and a dead end: $545 extra out of pocket and repeated, unresolved responses from Levi Builders.

Anton Kucher
GoogleJun 24, 2020

Anton Kucher was shopping for a home solar setup with his partner and found Levi Builders early in his search. He discovered that the company lets you scale the system up or down with no spending minimum—so you can start small or go big depending on budget and energy needs. They walked him through the practical differences between system sizes (the inexpensive 5 kW that most people choose versus larger 10 kW options) and showed projected savings, which helped him decide. He and his partner chose the basic, affordable 5 kW package and ended up with enough panels to comfortably cover the roof without crowding it. The team at Levi Builders explained the installation process, were friendly on the phone and in person, and took their time getting the array up; once installed it has been there to stay. Best of all, Anton didn’t have to manage the post‑install work himself and started seeing real savings within the year—what stuck with him most was the flexibility to start small and the hands‑off service that made the whole investment easy.
