Moonlight Electric Services reviews

The Verdict
Moonlight Electric Services runs circles around the national chains. We analyzed dozens of reviews and couldn't find a single complaint about the work itself. Sammy and Ziva do the sales calls, design the system, and install it on your roof themselves, which means you never get handed off to a subcontractor who wasn't part of the original conversation. One homeowner switched from Sunrun after discovering Moonlight quoted better equipment (American-made panels with individual optimizers) for 10% less, then watched his DWP bill drop from $500 bimonthly to the minimum connection fee. When the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power told another customer he'd need a new utility pole before his system could go live (a process that typically drags on for five to six months), Sammy got it installed in three weeks. The owners talked multiple clients out of adding batteries they didn't need, turning down easy upsells to keep the project honest. They'll even chase down roof leaks mid-install and connect you with a roofer who bids at half the market rate, then coordinate the repair so the solar work doesn't stall. If your sixteen-year-old inverter dies, they'll track down a compatible replacement part and install it themselves instead of pushing you toward a costly full system overhaul.
If you want the lowest advertised quote, a national chain might edge them out by a few percentage points. But if you want owners who'll personally troubleshoot a DWP permitting nightmare at 9 p.m. and install higher-grade equipment for less than the competition, Moonlight is the call.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Todd had already called the same small team back twice before, and each visit he watched the owners, Sammy and Ziva, climb onto his roof and do the hands-on work themselves. When a part in his 10-year-old inverter failed this time, they went to extraordinary lengths to track down the part and make the repair rather than ducking responsibility. He ended up with a fixed system and the reassurance that the people who installed his panels will still show up and support the equipment a decade later — honest, hands-on service that stuck with him.
R K. chose Moonlight Electric Services to install a home solar system after collecting bids from several heavily marketed companies. They discovered Moonlight’s price was notably lower while offering higher-quality panels and hardware. At the very first appointment Sammy and Ziva showed up with a preliminary system design and a firm quote, and because they act as the sales team, system designers, and installers, they answered every technical question on the spot instead of deferring to remote engineers. Moonlight’s crew did all the work in-house rather than sending unknown subcontractors, and the team maintained steady communication throughout the project—often running ahead of schedule. The install finished early, stayed within the quoted cost, and left the whole process completely stress-free; what stuck with R K. most was that the company provided a full design and transparent price up front and then delivered it with their own professional crew.
What stuck with Dave B. most was how Moonlight Electric turned what should have been a 5–6 month DWP delay into a three-week fix for his home solar hookup. A longtime real estate broker who’s been the “go-to” for vendor recommendations since 2008, he had already sent a friend to Ziva and Sammy years earlier and heard raves. So when two other companies—one a door-to-door offer with no upfront cost and another a friend-of-a-friend referral—gave him estimates, he called Moonlight for a third look. After their on-site evaluation he felt foolish for not calling them first. Ziva walked him through the supremely complicated path from ownership and financing to rebates and the difference between consumption and collection. Their estimate arrived clear and easy to read, and after that detailed tutorial he and his wife chose Moonlight. A DWP requirement to place a pole closer to the house threatened to stall the job, and Dave expected the months-long wait. Instead, through persistent correspondence and Moonlight’s knowledge of the process—led by Sammy—the new pole went in three weeks. Even the linemen were surprised. Once the pole was set, Sammy and the installation crew moved quickly: a

What You Can Expect
Bert V. installed solar panels on his home about three years ago and quickly discovered one big change: he no longer faces the shock of a huge DWP bill every month. The system proved to be good for both the planet and his wallet, cutting costs while shrinking his environmental footprint. Ziva and her team handled the conversion from start to finish so smoothly he urges others to use their services — the paperwork, scheduling and installation felt effortless. He walked away impressed by how simple the transition was and by the clear financial relief. His only regret is not having made the switch years earlier.
David hired Sammy and Ziva about 18 months ago to install rooftop solar and upgrade his home's electrical panel. He watched the project move smoothly from estimate to completion and ended up with a clean, well-executed installation. After getting multiple quotes, he picked them for their genuine, family-run approach — personable, reliable and clearly focused on the client. They even welcomed his then two-year-old into the process, letting the curious child be part of the experience without any fuss. He appreciated how they worked hard to exceed expectations and handled both the panels and the panel upgrade with care. He’s recommended them often on NextDoor and by word of mouth, and now shares this note here: the solar system has been the best investment he’s made in his house.
As a small business owner who prizes honesty, integrity and hands-on service, Allan discovered Sammy and Ziva Lev of Moonlight Electrical Services and has relied on them for electrical work over the last few years. He found their approach both professional and personal — straightforward, trustworthy, and the kind of service he prefers to hire and recommend. When he finally moves forward with a solar installation, he plans to hire Sammy and Ziva to handle it because he trusts their integrity and the consistent, attentive work they’ve already delivered.
