Levion Solar reviews

The Verdict
We found a company that appears to have gone dark on its customers. One 88-year-old has been paying her loan for over a year on solar panels that were never turned on, and her family can't reach anyone at Levion to fix it. That pattern repeats across every review we analyzed. Installations drag on for 6 to 18 months because the company fails to submit city permits while blaming the municipality, then disappears when problems surface. In one case, broken roof tiles during installation led to leaks during the first winter rain. The homeowner reported it in early February and spent a month chasing the field supervisor, who stopped answering calls entirely. We couldn't find a single mention of prompt communication, completed follow-through, or accurate sales promises. Fifteen reviews describe post-sale support failures, nine call out deceptive sales tactics, and nine detail shoddy workmanship. Several customers report they're still waiting for consumption meters, battery hookups, or basic system activation months after the panels went up. (If your solar company won't return your calls before the city inspection, they definitely won't return them after.)
If you're weighing a Levion quote, walk away. We found multi-month delays on every project, sales reps who misrepresent rebates and bills, and support teams that vanish when installations go wrong. You'll spend more time chasing this company than enjoying clean energy.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Nancy discovered that her 88-year-old aunt had been making payments for more than a year on a solar system that was never turned on after installation. The family only uncovered the problem a month earlier, and by then the aunt had already been paying the finance company for equipment that wasn’t producing a single watt. When Nancy tried reaching the installer, she kept getting the same recording throughout the day and came away unsure the company was still operating at all. She was left sorting through the next steps with Edison to figure out how to get the system working, all while facing the bitter fact that an elderly woman may have been left paying for unusable solar panels on her home.
Carlos’s solar install dragged on from October 2023 into February 2024, and what stood out most was how hard it was to get anyone to handle the basics. Crews kept calling at the last minute with arrival windows, then got upset when he couldn’t make it work on such short notice. After the panels went up on his San Bernardino home, he found the first roof leak only when the season’s first rain exposed a broken tile that had never been replaced or even mentioned. That earlier issue was fixed while the project still waited on city approval, but a second round of heavy rain on February 6 brought two new leaks around the panel area. He reached out to the field supervisor, Dani, who promised to line up a roofer, then went quiet for weeks, leaving Carlos with texts, photos, and no repair appointment a month later.
Vage ended up in a drawn-out fight over a solar install that started with promise and quickly turned frustrating on a house that had panels mounted in February 2023 but still wasn’t producing power until August. The salesman had made the timeline sound fast, yet she found herself calling almost every day to get updates, only to be told the city was holding things up. When she checked with the city herself, she discovered the plan had never even been submitted by Levion. After months of chasing them, she finally got the system turned on in August, only to learn in November that the required consumption meter had never been installed. By January 2024, she was still making daily calls to push for that missing part, feeling as though every step had to be dragged out of them one by one, and she was preparing to take the dispute to the Better Business Bureau.

What You Can Expect
Loreal R. bought extra solar panels for her home in February 2023, expecting the setup to help her qualify for the tax rebate that had been a major reason for moving forward. Instead, the system sat unused until August because the inspection never got finished and Edison was given the wrong installation information. Even after it finally went live, problems kept coming: just last week she got a message saying the panels were offline and someone needed to come fix them right away, only to find there was no one available to handle it. What should have been a straightforward install turned into months of delay, misinformation about the rebate, and a system that still wasn’t reliably working.
Aurora ended up in a frustrating spot after her solar panels were installed on her home: she tried to connect to the monitoring app and discovered she couldn’t get access because Levion Solar’s Nick Tejeda had not transferred ownership of the system to her. Without that handoff, she was locked out of the app and found that the system wasn’t generating the way it should, all while still being stuck with payments for equipment that wasn’t working. The disappointment landed especially hard because this was her second solar setup at the house, and instead of the smooth upgrade she expected, she was left chasing down a company she couldn’t reach and preparing to sue over a system that never got fully turned over.
Nancy discovered that her 88-year-old aunt had been making payments for more than a year on a solar system that was never turned on after installation. The family only uncovered the problem a month earlier, and by then the aunt had already been paying the finance company for equipment that wasn’t producing a single watt. When Nancy tried reaching the installer, she kept getting the same recording throughout the day and came away unsure the company was still operating at all. She was left sorting through the next steps with Edison to figure out how to get the system working, all while facing the bitter fact that an elderly woman may have been left paying for unusable solar panels on her home.
Glenn spent more than a year waiting for a solar installation that never seemed to get finished properly, only to discover the system had been installed incorrectly and did not match the contract he had signed. Even after another year and a half, the panels finally got hooked up, but the trouble did not end there. He was left dealing with power problems and found himself unable to get anyone from the company to respond, turning what should have been a straightforward home upgrade into a long, unresolved mess.
Charles ended up waiting more than a year just to get the solar system connected on his home, and even after that final step was done, the backup batteries still weren’t working the way they should. Instead of storing close to the 10K they were supposed to hold, they were only charging to about 1.1K, leaving him with a system that never really delivered on the backup power he paid for. When he tried to get someone on the phone, the calls went unanswered, which left the whole project feeling unfinished and stuck at the point where the batteries should have been the easiest part to trust.
Cindy signed on for a solar setup that was supposed to leave her with little to no Edison bill, backed by a sales pitch from Robert Morales that later fell apart once he left the company. Instead of the credit she was promised, she ended up paying about $188 a month to Edison on top of her solar loan, and the frustration only deepened when she tried to get straight answers from management and kept getting passed along without a direct response. What should have been a savings project turned into two bills at once, with the added sting that the promises she relied on never matched the reality on her home.
Kimberly signed a solar contract with Levion Solar last September expecting the system to be up and running by December 2023, but 11 months later the panels still hadn’t been connected. In Vista, where the August heat was sitting around 85 to 90 degrees, she was stuck working from home and leaning on air conditioning while SDG&E bills kept landing in the $250 to $300 range each month. What made the experience sting most was the silence on the company’s side: calls went unanswered, and she came away feeling they didn’t know what they were doing. After waiting nearly a year with no working solar, she filed a BBB complaint, still without the system she had been promised.
Hilary D. ended up with solar panels mounted on the house on 10/6/2023, but months later the system still had not been turned on. Along the way, the installation left damage behind at the property, and there was no clarity on whether anyone would come back to repair it. What stood out most was the silence from the top: when she tried to reach the owner, the calls went unanswered, leaving her with a system in place but no sign of follow-through.
Katherine ended up with a solar system installed last August on her home, but the project never made it to the finish line. No inspection ever happened, the panels were never activated, and even after crews came out a couple of times to look at what should happen next, nothing moved forward. When she tried to reach the company again, the business phone had stopped working, leaving her stuck with an unfinished installation and no clear path to get it resolved.
