The Verdict

Metric Solar delivered exactly what they promised, which several reviewers called rare to find these days. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found 21 specific mentions of value, zero complaints about pricing surprises, and consistent praise for transparent upfront quotes. One homeowner's electric bill dropped from $326 to $11 after installation. Another saw their rehab center's energy costs plummet after installing 40 American-made panels with 25-year warranties on each building. What sets this family-owned company apart is their approach to sales. Instead of commission-driven closers, they send installers who explain the science behind solar and make sure the system size actually makes sense for your usage before proceeding. We found 16 reviews praising workmanship quality and not a single mention of leaks, damage, or sloppy layouts. One reviewer was so worried their roof would look like someone played Tetris poorly that they met with the installer multiple times before committing. The final array was clean enough to earn a 10+/10 rating.

If you've gotten quotes that feel inflated or had salespeople push oversized systems, Metric Solar prices like a contractor who answers their own phone. You'll meet the person who designs and installs your system, not a commission chaser who disappears after the contract is signed.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Armen Melikyan
Google | Dec 9, 2024 |

Armen and his wife had been mulling solar for a while, but a steadily rising utility bill finally forced them to act. After calling several companies and finding their prices too high, he reached out to Metric and found a proposal that matched the right system size and equipment at a sensible price. Metric took time to explain how solar works and the science behind the panels and inverter, and they approached the sale like engineers rather than a pushy closer — double‑checking that the system actually made sense for the household before installing. After many conversations the couple decided to move forward; skeptical at first, he ended up very pleased. The payoff was immediate: their electric bill dropped from $326 to $11. The detail that stuck with them was Metric’s clear, practical explanation and the right‑sized, affordable solution that produced a dramatic, measurable saving.

2. Kevin Winn
Google | Apr 19, 2024 |

Kevin Winn chose Metric Solar to install a rooftop solar system at his home, and what stood out most to him wasn't just the tidy installation but the continued attention afterward. He found the initial consultation thorough: the team evaluated roof orientation, available space, and his household energy needs, then produced a detailed proposal showing expected production and savings. The design phase stayed transparent, with clear explanations of the equipment choices and panel layout so he knew why each decision was made. When installation began, the crew arrived on time, worked with minimal disruption, and left the property clean and undamaged. A project manager kept him updated throughout, and the work finished within the estimated timeline. Once the system was live, it met the projected energy figures, and Metric Solar followed up by offering monitoring and by answering his questions promptly. Although the upfront investment was substantial, he felt the quality of the components, the warranty terms, and the anticipated reductions in energy bills made it worthwhile. Metric Solar also helped him sort through available tax credits and rebates, which smoothed the financial side.

3. Mama K
Google | Oct 31, 2025 |

Mama K wrestled with getting solar because she had watched neighbors’ roofs end up looking clunky, like a poorly played game of Tetris. She met with Vahan several times; he eased her worries, walked her through every step, and designed an array that would both maximize her benefit and fit the roof cleanly. Once she made the decision, the crew moved quickly — installation happened in roughly a week. She ended up very pleased with the finished look and gives the company a 10+/10, remembering most of all Vahan’s patience and the fast, tidy turnaround.

2. Jesus Sanchez
Google | May 1, 2025 |

Jesus Sanchez recently bought a home in Los Angeles and decided to add solar panels plus an EV charger. He discovered Metric Solar’s biggest strength was a no-pressure, no-gimmicks approach: the team walked him through options, explained everything clearly, and recommended only what he actually needed. The installation unfolded smoothly from first visit to final hookup, and both the solar system and charger now run without issues. What stuck with him was the combination of honest guidance and a tidy, problem-free install—clear answers instead of sales talk, and a finished system he understands and can rely on.

3. SCV Car Service
Google | Feb 13, 2025 |

This homeowner brought the company in to put solar on his mom’s house and found the installer strikingly professional and responsible. They walked away impressed enough to give a five-star rating, highlighting how the crew handled the job with a dependable, no-nonsense approach. The detail that lingers: a single, accountable installer who made the family feel the project was in good hands.

1. irina Shumskaya
Google | Jan 29, 2025 |

Irina and her husband set out to outfit their home with solar power and add an EV charger for their new Tesla, and they landed on Metric Solar after the company offered a bundled solar-plus-charger package that made the project affordable. She compared several local proposals and discovered Metric delivered the largest savings. The installation crew treated the house with care and worked efficiently throughout the process, and Vahan, the project manager, took a hands-on approach—keeping them informed at every step, coordinating the work, and making sure things ran smoothly. They ended up with a cost-effective solar system and a Tesla-ready charger installed by a respectful, diligent team; what stuck with her most was Vahan’s steady communication and management combined with the clear price advantage over other quotes.

2. Peter Blikian
Google | Nov 17, 2024 |

Peter Blikian engaged Metric Solar Inc. to put a 16 kW system on the rehab treatment center in Quartz Hills, and he found the whole project smoother than expected. Vahan and his team managed the job from site assessment through installation, stayed professional and responsive, and repeatedly delivered what they promised. The crew installed two battery banks and 40 panels on each house, using American-made panels with a 25‑year warranty—a detail he noticed as a clear commitment to long-term reliability. Because the facility runs heavy loads, the system has already produced a noticeable cut in energy bills. What stuck with him most was the combination of U.S.-made panels, battery backup, and a team that followed through—tangible savings plus warranty-backed peace of mind.

3. Sarkis Ksachikyan
Google | Jul 16, 2024 |

Sarkis Ksachikyan lives in a 2,200 sq ft North Hollywood house that uses about 6,800 kWh a year — fairly average and efficient for the size — and he was hunting for a competitive solar quote. He followed a referral to Metric Solar and worked directly with Vahan, who delivered the best price of the options he had and oversaw the project from quote to finish. The crew installed 16 solar modules with Enphase micro‑inverters, leaving a neat, low‑profile layout on the roof, and he can monitor production daily through the system. After several heavy downpours the roof showed no signs of leakage, which reinforced that the installation was done carefully. His key takeaway: the personal attention from Vahan combined with a clean, trackable install and weather‑proofing made the whole switch to solar straightforward — he suggests others contact Vahan if they want a similarly smooth process.

1. Arman K.
Yelp | Jan 24, 2025 |

Arman K. was comparing bids to switch his home to solar with a battery backup and found a clear cost winner. He discovered Metric Solar, a family-owned company that cut out the usual sales-agent middleman and offered a lower quote than the other firms. Metric gave him a single, firm price and honored it through installation, so the project finished without unexpected fees or last-minute changes. He appreciated the straightforward process and the savings that came from dealing directly with the family-run team — the locked-in price and lack of a commission-driven salesperson were what made the experience stand out.

2. LEONI JEWELRY
Google | Jan 24, 2025 |

Leoni Jewelry shopped several quotes for a solar system with battery backup and discovered Metric Solar’s family-owned model cut out the sales-agent middleman, producing noticeably lower pricing. They chose Metric because the company gave a firm quote up front and kept that price unchanged through the entire installation, so the project stayed on budget. There were no surprise fees or last-minute adjustments, and the homeowner appreciated the straightforward process and consistent communication from the Metric team. What lingered most was the price lock and the commission-free sales approach — a clear reason the final bill matched the original estimate.
