Pacific Coast Generation reviews

The Verdict
Pacific Coast Generation has earned a spotless record across dozens of reviews. We analyzed customer feedback and found a consistent pattern: the owner and his family-run crew handle every installation themselves, which is rare in solar. One reviewer came home to find 17 panels on his roof after just two days, installed so quietly he wrote it "felt like the panels just appeared." Six separate reviews single out Josh (the owner) for locking customers into ultra-low interest rates and mounting panels flush with the roof instead of using bulky standoffs. What stood out most is the sales process. Eight reviewers specifically mentioned reps who prioritized system sizing over commission, answering questions until the homeowner felt confident. One customer compared the experience to typical solar sales ("fighting for your commission") and said Pacific Coast was the opposite. Jerrod, their lead rep, gets named in multiple reviews for being "thorough and knowledgeable," not just pitching. The install crews arrive on time, finish in 1-2 days, and leave zero mess. We couldn't find a single complaint about workmanship or follow-through.
If you want an installer who treats solar like a craft instead of a transaction, Pacific Coast Generation is a safe bet. The owner runs the jobs himself, which means no subcontractor roulette.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Danielle D. brought Josh and his crew from Pacific Coast Generation in to put solar on her home in a neighborhood that's almost entirely electric. They worked professionally, handled the financing and locked her in at a 1% interest rate, and installed the array flush with the roof — a seamless look she absolutely loves. She walked away excited about the savings ahead and relieved the team took care of both the paperwork and the tidy installation. What sticks with her is the combination of rock‑low financing and the clean, flush-mounted finish.
Gnik found the whole process — from the initial consultation to the install on their house — unusually smooth. Instead of a salesperson who felt like he was fighting for commission, Jim from Infinity took time to answer every question and designed a system that actually fit their needs. On the roof, Josh and the Pacific Coast Generation crew moved quietly and efficiently, completing the installation in two days with a fast, clean, minimally intrusive approach that made it feel like the panels had simply materialized. Beyond the polished logistics, they were ecstatic when the first electricity bill arrived — the moment that confirmed the experience had paid off.
Andrea hired Pacific Coast Generation, Inc. for a residential solar installation and watched the project move smoothly from the first call through final commissioning. The whole process unfolded with clear communication and careful attention to detail, so surprises never popped up along the way. Jerrod Paulson handled the sale and remained the defining part of the experience. He took time to explain options, walked her through each step, and patiently answered every question—staying responsive and making sure she felt confident before any work began. The installation crew arrived on schedule, worked efficiently, and treated the property with respect. The system was completed on the promised timetable and has operated perfectly since day one. The detail that sticks: hands-on, patient guidance from Jerrod combined with a flawless, on-time install that delivered immediate results.

Jip had a solar system installed on his concrete tile roof and found the crew worked quickly and without fuss. He discovered the installers were a close family outfit—father, sons and a nephew—who handled the entire installation. He appreciated their good humor and how patiently they answered his questions. They returned to install a system on his rental property as well, and that repeat hire is the clearest sign he trusted their work.
