Off Grid Solar Solutions reviews

The Verdict
Off Grid Solar Solutions is the rare installer that actually solves problems instead of creating them. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, follow-up support, or project management. One customer accidentally unplugged part of their system two years after installation, and Jose still made a house call to troubleshoot. Another hired him after 15 other quotes failed to address permit challenges with Riverside County, and Jose walked the project through approval and final inspection without a hitch. What stood out most: 19 reviews describe complete off-grid builds, a specialty niche that demands precision wiring, battery programming, and custom electrical panels. Jose's crew uses double-flashing roof mounts to prevent leaks, finishes panel installs in a single day, then returns to adjust wiring if needed. We found 10 reviews from customers who hired him to repair botched systems installed by other contractors, and in every case he diagnosed the issue quickly and offered honest, affordable fixes. If you want an installer who'll still pick up the phone years later when you have a question, this is your team.
If you're planning a straightforward grid-tied install, any competent contractor can handle it. But if you need off-grid expertise, tricky permits navigated, or someone who'll fix another installer's mess, Off Grid Solar Solutions is worth the call.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Fernanda shopped about 15 estimates before picking Jose Duran of Off Grid Solar Solutions for a significant solar installation in Riverside County. She landed on him because his presentation made the county’s permitting hurdles and the project’s cost easy to grasp. He stayed flexible as plans changed, and his crew turned out to be both friendly and tireless; the installation progressed smoothly. They secured the permit and passed the final inspection without any problems. What stuck with Fernanda was Jose’s command of Riverside County regulations — that expertise turned a complicated project into a straightforward outcome.
Christine found the most memorable part of her $0-down solar install wasn't the equipment but the ongoing service: two years after the system went up, Jose still answered her call when she accidentally unplugged a component and came out to troubleshoot and repair it. She discovered his professionalism from the very first contact—prompt, informative responses as soon as she requested a quote—and that same responsiveness carried through installation and beyond. When a small, human mistake disrupted the system, he scheduled a technical visit and put everything back in order. An update from her confirms he has remained available and consistently helpful. What stuck with her was that the installer didn’t disappear after the sale; he stayed on hand for even minor issues, keeping the system running.
Yesenia Ramirez hired Jose and his helper Frankie to overhaul her ranch-style property’s electrical and power setup, and ended up with a complete off-grid system and a neatly reworked service layout. She watched them design and install a full off-grid solar array with backup batteries, then replace the main service panel for the whole property and add two subpanels to feed a workshop and a motorhome. They also fully wired the workshop using MC cable, installed metal junction boxes and outlets, and put in the shop lighting — all while keeping the site consistently clean and organized. Jose communicated at every step, confirming her requests and following through in ways that made his integrity obvious; Frankie’s steady support created a teamwork rhythm that kept the job efficient and on time. What stands out is how comprehensive the job was: clean installs, careful wiring, backup power, and clear communication from a small two-person crew. She’s planning another project with them and has already started directing neighbors to their number.

What You Can Expect
Manuel Canales had an off-grid solar system installed and, after more than a year of use, discovered it has run flawlessly. José Duran and his crew managed the project from start to finish, and he ended up with a system that not only performs reliably but also looks great on the property. He appreciated the team's workmanship and is glad a neighbor pointed them out — he still thanks that referral for connecting him with a trouble-free, attractive setup.

Jacob faced a tough problem: a rather unusual solar build that most installers wouldn’t touch. He found Jose and Frankie to be hands-on and meticulous, stepping in, reshaping the plan to fit his budget, and keeping the project moving. They handled the details carefully and completed the work promptly. The memorable takeaway is that two installers were willing to tackle an atypical job and still deliver on schedule without blowing the budget.
