The Verdict
Next Step Solar earned recommendations from every customer we reviewed. We found a contractor whose founder, Luis Jimenez, walks every client through the decision process with patience and candor, a rarity in an industry notorious for high-pressure sales. One homeowner who met with multiple solar companies over several years didn't commit until Luis explained the system in plain language and delivered exactly what he promised. Another customer praised the transparency: no false pretenses, no pressure, no comparison shopping needed. The pattern we saw most often was Luis staying involved from consultation through final approval, answering questions at each milestone rather than handing off after the contract is signed. Installations wrapped in one day, and city inspections followed within a week. Eight reviewers specifically mentioned competitive pricing, with one noting they got an extra panel thrown in at the lowest quote they could find. If you want someone who'll explain solar like a neighbor instead of a salesman and then follow through on every detail, Next Step Solar consistently delivers that experience.
If you've sat through pushy solar pitches and walked away confused, Luis at Next Step Solar will restore your faith in the process. You'll pay a fair price and get a patient guide who stays with you until your system is running.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
After years of considering solar and meeting reps from multiple companies, Don finally pulled the trigger and met Luis — and everything changed. He discovered an honesty and integrity in Luis that stayed consistent through the whole process. As a first-time solar buyer, he ended up with a smooth, well-organized experience: clear communication, outstanding customer service, and a top-notch installation. Luis delivered everything promised, and the most memorable detail was that the salesperson’s word matched the finished product — a rare, refreshing outcome that left him completely satisfied.
Lori chose Next Step Solar for a home installation and discovered their service leaders were organized and transparent from the start. She received complete cost breakdowns and was offered a low-cost lender, and the crew inspected her roof and attic before any work began. The installation itself wrapped up in a single day; the city inspector signed off about a week later, and the system went live soon after. Luis Jimenez handled the process personally — he proved very knowledgeable, answered every question, and kept her updated at every stage. The detail that stood out most was the combination of a one-day install and a single, attentive point of contact who guided her through each step, which made the whole project straightforward and quick.
Milinda chose Next Step Solar for a family solar project and immediately experienced a transparent, no-pressure process that put her at ease. From the first conversation she felt reassured by clear communication and steady follow-through; the team stayed attentive to her family’s needs and managed every phase so thoroughly there was never any doubt about their professionalism. The most memorable part of the experience centered on founder and CEO Luis Jimenez — she was referred to him, discovered his wide-ranging knowledge and reliability, and watched him build genuine trust through hands-on guidance. That personal commitment shaped the company’s approach and showed up in the quality of the work and the sense that future savings are well secured. What lingered for her after the installation wasn’t a slogan but the confidence that comes from a leader who makes the customer relationship central to every decision.

After consulting with several solar companies, Jorge Catalan settled on Next Step Solar because Luis Jimenez’s outstanding, professional representation stood out. He discovered Luis stayed involved at every stage — from the first meeting through the entire process to project completion — providing steady, hands-on guidance. Luis also helped him get qualified so the new solar system could start delivering real savings. Grateful for the personal attention, he walked away impressed by the follow-through and the clear path to lowering his energy bills; the lasting impression was a single, reliable contact who saw the job through to the finish.
Daniel bought a residential rooftop solar system and found the whole process seamless from first contact through final hookup. He discovered a sales representative who knew the technical details inside out, patiently walked him through available options, and answered every question until he felt confident about the decision. During installation, the crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the array properly installed with minimal disruption. Communication stayed clear at every stage, so there were no surprises or delays. What he remembers most is how the informed, patient sales conversation took a complex decision and made it straightforward — paired with a punctual, professional install, that made the purchase feel well managed from start to finish.
