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.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Ivan Bagaybagayan
GoogleOct 1, 2020

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.

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.

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.

Wesley Ren

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.
