Orange Solar reviews

C M. needed a cleaning for a large, 44-panel system and managed to book Orange Solar for the very next day. They encountered a friendly, hardworking crew that showed up on time, stayed polite, and dove straight into the job. Orange Solar cleaned the entire array for $175 with a discount and even arranged to return the following day to inspect the work. They recommend cleaning panels about three times a year and noted that the company also offers Generac backup generators. The detail that sticks: next-day availability and a post-service check paired with a $175 price for 44 panels.

This homeowner booked Orange Solar to wash their rooftop panels and got an appointment for the very next day. The crew arrived on time, stayed polite, and immediately set to work, leaving the reviewer impressed by how friendly and hardworking the team was. While the job finished promptly, the company also arranged to be in the area the following day to do a follow-up check of their work. The homeowner emphasizes that panels should be cleaned at least three times a year and notes that Orange Solar also carries Generac backup generators. What lingered most was the quick scheduling paired with a planned return visit — a practical sign of responsiveness rather than a one-off service.

Jack Wright worked with The Orange Solar on a solar installation and came away impressed by the team's steady mix of technical expertise and respectful communication. He valued how informed the crew stayed and how courteous they were at every step, which kept the process calm and straightforward. He left a five-star review, pointing to that combination of know-how and respect as the memorable part of the experience.

Gerald Arthur watched Robert climb onto his roof to clean solar panels that had become visibly dusty. He observed Robert work deliberately, taking extra time to remove grime and restore the panels’ appearance. The standout detail for Gerald was the thoroughness — the array ended up looking almost new again. He recommended Robert and the company based on that careful, hands-on approach.

Rochelle B. received a PG&E true-up bill for more than $1,000 after moving into a Woodland home that already had solar panels. Having spent most of her life in the San Francisco Bay Area, where panels aren’t common, she had little idea how maintenance affected production — and learned quickly that neglect can be costly. A PG&E rep suggested cleaning the array, so she searched NextDoor and found The Orange Solar. They showed up the next day, cleaned the panels, and estimated about a 30% boost in absorption. From the street the panels looked fine, but the crew uncovered heavy dirt, bird droppings and nestings tucked underneath that would have damaged the roof over time. At that same visit they discovered a faulty inverter, contacted the manufacturer, secured warranty coverage, and replaced the unit the following day after the part arrived — with only a reasonable out‑of‑pocket charge. Rochelle found them thorough, locally focused, affordable, and the only certified outfit in Woodland doing that work. What stuck with her most was how quickly they responded and how a simple cleaning plus a warranty swap translated into roughly a 30% performance gain and real protection for her roof.

Ceci paid $24,000 for a residential solar installation and discovered the workmanship was so poor she had to hire a second company to take everything down and reinstall the system. She ended up out the original installation cost, accused the installer of running a scam, and believes the company's five‑star reviews were purchased. The detail that sticks: she paid $24,000 and still needed another contractor to correct the job — a costly outcome that warns buyers to look beyond glowing ratings.

Tonia West has worked with Rob at The Orange Solar for years and built a steady, dependable relationship for her solar installations and upkeep. She credits Rob’s consistent attention with making follow-up and repairs straightforward, and she feels consistently taken care of. After repeated jobs, she now relies on him as a single point of contact for questions and fixes. The memorable takeaway: a named, long-term contact who handles both installs and ongoing service.

Aaron S. spotted their signs around town and ran into the team at a local Farmer’s Market weeks before booking. He paid $149 to have the solar panels on his garage roof cleaned; the crew arrived on time, worked professionally, and followed clear safety procedures while they cleaned. He ended up with noticeably cleaner panels and a straightforward, affordable service that was easy to schedule after that market meeting.

After handing over $22,500 for a solar job, Rebecca H discovered on 8/31/24 that Orange Solar's business license had expired. She still hadn't gotten any of the money back and learned the owner was leaving town. She remains out $22,500 and points to the expired license and the owner’s departure as the stark, memorable problems from her experience.
