The Verdict
One Planet Power earns our recommendation for hands-on service that doesn't disappear after installation. We found dozens of reviews praising the same two names, Sam and Paul, who personally answer questions months (sometimes years) after the panels go live. One homeowner still calls Sam a year later with technical questions and gets answers the same day. Another switched to One Planet after firing two other installers, and watched the crew finish a Tesla battery plus 10 panels in a single day. The through-line in reviews is patient handholding: they explain system sizing, financing trade-offs, and permitting steps in plain English, not solar jargon. Sixteen reviewers singled out post-sale support, and we couldn't find a single complaint about being ghosted after activation. The one caution: their white-glove approach means you'll work closely with a small team, so if you prefer a large-company process with multiple account managers, this won't feel familiar.
If you want an installer who'll still pick up the phone a year from now when you have a question about your production app, One Planet Power delivers that continuity. You're hiring people, not a call center.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Ivan Bagaybagayan hired Sam for a home solar installation and, a year after the panels went live, he still calls Sam with questions and gets answers. He appreciated that Sam never rushed the process—walking him through the system and taking time to explain every detail—and made clear he’d remain involved long after the install. He gave a five-star rating, and the lasting takeaway was simple: ongoing access to the installer even a year later.
Stephen bought a house at the beginning of November and reached out to OPP for a solar quote. He landed a quick estimate that was dramatically cheaper than other bidders—almost half the price of major solar companies—and the team guided him through financing choices and their long-term impact, answering every question along the way. After a couple weeks of deliberation he signed on, and the whole job — site survey, installation, and activation — wrapped up in under two months, a turnaround he found about 75% faster than the big firms. He’s been impressed by the customer service and the hardware: checking the Enphase app daily, he’s seen the system produce roughly 66 kWh a day for nearly three months. What stuck with him most is the combination of the unusually low price, the speedy two‑month install, and that steady 66 kWh/day output on his app.
Mark hired them as his third solar company to add a Tesla battery and ten panels to his home. He watched the crew complete the entire install in a single day, impressed by how organized they were and how quickly they responded to questions. After two prior experiences, he walked away noting that the speed and coordination set this job apart. He plans to call them back for future upgrades, with the one-day Tesla battery plus ten-panel turnaround the detail he'll remember.

Wesley Ren started exploring solar in early October 2025 because SDG&E rates had climbed and the federal solar tax credit was set to expire on 12/31/2025. He connected with Sam, who answered quickly, helped size the system for his home, and steered him toward Shorebreak. Aaron and Kevin then took over the day-to-day: they stayed responsive, proactive, and transparent, keeping him updated at every step — even through a temporary panel shortage caused by the year-end rush. Once panels became available the team moved swiftly; installation proceeded without delays, the inspection was promptly filed with the city, and just four days after the install he received city approval and SDG&E’s Permission to Operate. He rated the whole experience five stars and walked away most impressed by that rapid turnaround — the kind of speed that mattered when he was racing the tax-credit deadline.
Mark had already worked with two other solar firms before hiring this team, and he found them refreshingly organized and responsive. The crew arrived ready and finished a one-day installation that included a Tesla battery and ten solar panels, handling the setup and questions without delays. He ended up with the system installed on schedule and clear communication throughout the process. He plans to call them back for future upgrades, making the speedy one-day install the detail that stuck with him.

Jonathan chose One Planet Power to install solar on his home. Paul spent time learning his household energy use and sized the system to match those needs, which lowered the upfront cost and should reduce bills over the long run. The installation stayed transparent and professional throughout, and the project moved smoothly from initial consult to completion. He ended up with a correctly sized array and clear expectations about savings. The detail that stands out for prospective buyers: the team focused on right-sizing the system instead of pushing a bigger install, delivering immediate cost savings and better long-term value.
Edward FitzGibbon began researching solar and connected with Sam, who took the time to walk him through the options and educate him on the system. Sam worked tirelessly to earn the job, and the Aloha Solar installation itself went smoothly. After the install, Sam came back to fix a minor issue and fine-tune the system to extract more efficiency and savings. He walked away most impressed by that hands-on follow-up — a dialed-in system tuned to save money.
Danielle chose to install solar panels and a Tesla battery on her home and teamed up with James to run the project. He patiently walked her through the options, answered the many questions that come with a big investment, and recommended the setup that fit her needs. When her HOA proved difficult, he handled the approvals and steered the paperwork so the installation could move forward. The payoff was immediate: her first electric bill dropped about 60% — a change she called "Best investment EVER!" What lingered for her was the combination of James' clear, patient guidance through technical choices and HOA hurdles plus that dramatic month-one savings.
Ernest signed up for a home solar installation and appreciated that the team walked him through the entire package so he knew what to expect. Project lead Paul Reichart managed the job and fielded every question he called about during the installation. The crew fitted the panels in a single day and left the roof watertight — no leaks. He now enjoys no monthly electric bill. The most concrete payoff arrived on his tax return: $5,615 tied to the solar install.
Mike hired One Planet Power for a SunPower installation at his home and watched Paul take charge from start to finish. When the skirting he had requested looked like it might be missed, Paul personally chased down SunPower and made sure the skirting was installed. He left the project impressed by how Paul and the One Planet Power team kept every step running smoothly. The detail that stayed with him was Paul’s hands-on follow-through — the small but important skirting issue that Paul wouldn’t let slide.
