Pacific Blue Solar reviews

The Verdict
Pacific Blue Solar does installations right. We analyzed dozens of reviews spanning 2014 to 2023 and found zero complaints about workmanship, not one mention of a botched roof attachment or sloppy wiring. One retired construction professional with 50 years in the trades visited 15 solar companies' job sites before choosing Pacific Blue, and he wrote that he hadn't seen better installations anywhere. That tracks with what we found: 16 reviewers specifically praised the quality of work, and multiple customers mentioned that the crew took extra steps like relocating roof vents to keep conduit runs hidden in the attic, replacing broken tiles, and color-matching stucco after electrical panel upgrades. The company is also unusually fast. Seven reviewers reported start-to-finish timelines under a week once installation began, and one homeowner went from signed contract to live system in one month. (One customer admitted to periodically walking outside just to watch the crew work, describing them as "like bees in a beehive." We can't promise you'll be that entertained, but the speed is real.)
If you want a solar installer who'll move your roof vents so the wiring stays hidden and match your stucco after panel work, Pacific Blue is worth calling. They're not the biggest name, but the workmanship is meticulous and the timeline is quick.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Mike G. hosted roughly 12 to 15 solar companies at his home for quotes before he met John from Pacific Blue Solar. After inspecting installations from multiple firms, he discovered PBS’s workmanship stood head and shoulders above the rest — and coming from a 50-year career in construction he was very selective about who would work on his house. He chose Pacific Blue Solar, and the system has been in place for almost three years; it erased his electric bill and usually leaves him with about a $500 credit each year. For him, the decisive detail wasn’t sales talk but the quality of the installs: pro-level craftsmanship paired with consistent savings convinced him this was a first-class system.
Stacey T. narrowed her search among several installers — Verengo, Solar City, Petersen Dean, Green Convergence and LA Solar — and chose a local Santa Clarita outfit, Pacific Blue Solar, for a homeowner-grade system because price and workmanship lined up. She watched owner John climb onto her roof to map out the job, and his insistence on doing things “the right way” came through in the details: vents were moved or replaced, electrical runs were routed down through the attic, and previously broken roof tiles were swapped out. Knowing the company also handles roofing left her without the usual worry about roof damage. From signing the contract to flipping the system on took about a month and flowed smoothly; Shannon, the office manager, kept her updated on permits, inspections and the schedule, and took care of rebates and paperwork. The crew spent only two to three days on site, worked cleanly and were easy to have around. The detail that stuck with her was the tidy, finished look from the street — hidden wiring, reset vents and replaced tiles made the installation appear intentional and well-crafted.
This homeowner finally saw a long-dreamed-about solar installation come to life and left genuinely impressed. The process began with a Saturday consultation at the house with Larry, who calmly answered every question, admitted when he needed to check a detail and then followed up with clear answers; the written proposal later mirrored their conversation with cost breakdowns and breakeven scenarios. Scheduling and paperwork moved smoothly through Shannon and the front office, who kept timelines realistic and stayed responsive before and after the install. The most memorable part was how hands-on John, the owner, remained: he and his tight-knit crew worked quickly but carefully, all smiles and good humor, and treated the roof like a craftsman’s project — the homeowner checked the finished work herself and called it beautiful. John had installed panels for several neighbors years earlier, and he personally handled the tweaks they’d discussed, walked through the hardware and how to use it, and made clear he’s available for future questions. The combination of a detail-minded salesperson, an organized office, and an owner who still gets personally involved is what set this experience —–

What You Can Expect
Kate wanted a straightforward home solar install without a hard sell. She asked Larry to skip the big sales pitch and simply give a price for what she wanted, and he delivered a clear, no-nonsense quote. John and his crew then came out to install the panels; John came across as friendly and knowledgeable, and the team wrapped up the job in about three days from start to finish. Three years on, she couldn’t be happier with Pacific Blue Solar — the whole process felt easy and worry-free. The detail that stuck with her was getting that upfront, pressure-free price and watching John’s crew finish the installation in just three days.
Martin hired the company to install solar on his home and experienced a smooth process from the first consultation through final hookup. He walked away with an expertly completed installation and, most strikingly, a most recent SCE bill of just $4.05. He singled out Larry Krone and John Rogers for making the project easy to deal with. The concrete takeaway: attentive service and an installation that drove the customer’s utility charge down to $4.05.
Lori P. hired Pacific Blue Solar to install solar on her home and found the entire process smooth and straightforward. She worked with Larry, the salesperson, and John, the company owner, plus the installation crew, and encountered consistently professional, friendly service. She ended up with high-quality equipment and tidy workmanship, and the crew’s strong work ethic showed through each step. Communications stayed clear — she was kept in the loop, questions were answered promptly, and the price felt reasonable for the outcome. What stuck with her most was John’s hands-on follow-up: after the install he walked her through how the system would operate and what to expect going forward.
