The Verdict

We've never seen a contractor handle utility red tape with less drama. Mega Power Electric delivered installations at 25 percent above projected output in one case, and when the city utility changed requirements mid-project and demanded new electrical boxes that weren't in the original contract, the crew handled it for a nominal fee without complaint. We found 115 reviewers praising the workmanship with zero negative comments about installation quality. The owner, Gary, personally walks customers through estimates and stays involved through warranty claims years later. One reviewer called back after their inverter died a year in, and the team replaced it immediately after the vendor approved the warranty claim. The install crews finished a 28-panel system in two days, leaving roofs clean and wiring tucked away in small garage-mounted boxes. (One customer admitted to being a rough interrogator who investigates everything, and they still chose Mega Power over competitors.) Pricing runs competitive with other local installers, and the company coordinates with roofers to preserve shingle warranties during mounting.

If you want zero hassle when the utility changes the rules or a component fails under warranty, Mega Power Electric will chase down approvals and handle replacements without drama. You'll pay market rates, but the owner-led service and multi-year follow-through justify it.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. K O.
Yelp | Sep 28, 2024 |

K O. began the project skeptical after seeing dozens of solar ads, but the process changed once Gary from Mega Power spent time on the roofline and the paperwork. They discovered a salesperson who walked them through every expectation and offered competitive pricing, and when installation day arrived the crew coordinated directly with their roofer — important because the house had just been reroofed and the mounting posts needed to be resealed so the roofer’s warranty stayed intact. The installers kept the site tidy and finished quickly. When the utility (DWP) kept shifting requirements and ultimately demanded new electrical boxes, Mega Power absorbed the headache: they updated the system to meet the new rules and even handled an electrical panel replacement that wasn’t in the original contract for a nominal fee. Three years after the panels went live, DWP replaced the service drop cable and that work knocked out the homeowner’s battery; Mega Power came back, fixed the problem under warranty, and remained reliably responsive on follow‑ups. What stands out is how they coordinated with other contractors and with the utility, stepping in to manage extra work (and even pay for or a

2. ClarisMorelock1997
EnergySage | Jan 16, 2023 |

Claris had engaged Mega Power Electric for solar projects across her new and existing residential apartment communities and first met them in person when they handled a small install on the detached garage of her own house. Concerned about curb appeal, she asked for visual previews and the crew delivered photo-realistic simulations that closely matched the final look. The finished system not only blended in well but outperformed expectations—generating roughly 25% more energy than they had promised. For someone juggling community-scale installs and a personal home project, the standout detail was how accurately the visuals predicted the outcome and how much the system exceeded its performance projection.

3. Franz Francisco
Google | Sep 16, 2024 |

Franz found working with Gary’s team straightforward; about a year after his installation he discovered the inverter had failed. He contacted the crew, and they took charge of the warranty logistics — coordinating with the vendor, securing the RMA, and arranging a replacement. The inverter was swapped out quickly once the vendor approved the return, leaving him with minimal downtime. He walked away impressed that Mega Power Electric handled the paperwork and the repair without fuss, which turned a hassle into a simple fix.

What You Can Expect

1. Scott Beaver
Google | Aug 18, 2025 |

Scott Beaver hired Mega Power for a residential solar installation in early 2023 and returned to them in mid‑2025 to add Enphase batteries. He shopped several other Enphase partners first and discovered Mega Power offered competitive pricing while delivering noticeably higher-quality work. The crew handled permitting without drama and took care of the little things—Gary even went to the store to match the siding paint so the panels and equipment blended with the house. Between the value, the tidy installation, and that paint-match attention to appearance, the project felt unusually thorough; the extra effort to preserve the home’s look is what stuck with him.

1. Anton Savchenko
Google | Feb 14, 2024 |

Anton chose Empower for a sizable installation: he put in 43 solar panels in January 2023 and, after watching the output, added 12 more a few months later—ending up with a 55-panel setup that has generated substantial energy and ongoing savings. From the start he found the staff patient and expert; they took time with his detailed questions, ran the financial and production calculations, and laid out the whole process in plain language so he never felt rushed or pressured. Install crews arrived professional and knowledgeable, and Empower honored his request to get the system installed as quickly as possible. The experience matched the equipment’s reputation: reliable panels paired with a sales and installation process that felt equally high-caliber. The detail that stuck with him was how clearly the team could quantify results and how easily they expanded the system when he wanted more capacity.

2. FredaFelix
EnergySage | Apr 19, 2023 |

FredaFelix hired Mega Power Electric to install a 12-panel system on her home about a year ago. She discovered the installation was tidy and attractive, and the array has been working very well since. Ernesto and his team stood out for their professionalism: they shifted their schedule to fit hers and made her feel like a top-priority customer, turning routine scheduling into a true service moment. The workmanship looked clean on the roof, performance has held up over the past year, and what she remembers most is the personal attention — the crew’s willingness to work around her life felt as important as the panels themselves.

3. AlixHeald08
EnergySage | Feb 21, 2023 |

Alix hired Mega Power Electric to install solar panels on a large house a little over a year ago. They found the process straightforward and ended up with an installation that looks intentionally designed for the roof—clean, attractive, and not an afterthought. Over the past year their electric bill has dropped noticeably, and because the home is so big they now wish they had added more panels to capture even more savings. The detail that stands out is the visual integration of the array: it improves the roofline while also delivering real, measurable bill reductions.

1. JennetteTribble11
EnergySage | Apr 12, 2023 |

JennetteTribble11 has lived with a Mega Power Electric solar system on her home for over a year and remains very satisfied with both the equipment and the company's service. She passed that confidence along to family, referring several relatives to the company. Two of those relatives also went with Mega Power Electric and ended up equally impressed with their installations. The detail that stands out for a prospective buyer is the ripple effect: Jennette’s satisfaction led to multiple family installs that reproduced the same positive outcome.

2. GlynisNorvell09
EnergySage | Feb 20, 2023 |

Glynis had been a long-time Mega Power Electric customer and finally decided to add solar panels. She watched the crew complete the whole installation in five days and had the system switched on by noon of the final day. The panels produced the savings the company estimated, and her electric bills dropped noticeably. What stood out was how painless — even a little fun — the process felt despite the quick timeline; the moment the array went live by midday on day five is the detail she still mentions.

3. EdwardGober08
EnergySage | Feb 17, 2023 |

Edward decided to go solar a year ago and has seen dramatic savings on his electric bills since. He hesitated at first, so the team ran the numbers for him several times until he felt comfortable signing on; Ernesto, Gary and the crew kept the discussions easy and informative throughout. They managed everything from the initial estimates to the final hookup, taking pride in the work and showing genuine care for customers along the way. The installation itself was completed in just a few days and went off without a hitch — a patient sales process followed by a fast, flawless install is what stuck with him.
