Pacific Electric Solar reviews

Stephanie Shriver has leaned on Pacific Electric Solar for work on multiple high-end residential properties over the past five years. She watched the crew take on a wide range of complex electrical and solar tasks — installing a new electrical panel with updated EM panel mapping, fitting a Generac generator, putting in an extensive Tesla power wall system and upgrading a Tesla charging station. They also handled security cameras and lighting, rerouted electrical in tandem with fiber‑optic internet installation, updated transformers, installed landscape-lighting photocells, and performed solar cell maintenance. What separated the experience was the combination of technical breadth and consistent follow-through: James Davison provided hands-on oversight, and he and his team followed through from start to finish on every project so each job finished flawlessly. The lasting detail Stephanie highlights is not just the quality of the workmanship but the reliable, end-to-end accountability that accompanied even the most complicated installs.

Peter hired Pacific Electric Solar to install a sizable solar-plus-storage system on his home — panels, inverters and a battery — and ended up with a clean, trouble-free setup. From the start Jim, the company’s customer-service rep, walked him through the technical points, the regulatory hoops and how to maximize tax incentives and rebates, so the financial side felt straightforward. Pacific Electric Solar handled the dealings with SCE and took care of filing all the paperwork for incentives, and they proved honest and thorough throughout the process. Two years on, the system has been running perfectly, and the thing that stuck with him most was the hands-on help with the utility and incentive paperwork that made the whole project simple.

Laura C. had Pacific Electric Solar put panels on her Ventura home two years ago, and this week the same team came back to install a home battery. She found the workmanship and follow-up service consistently excellent: clean installs, patient answers to a long list of questions, and regular visits from James, the company owner, that felt personal and reassuring. The most memorable detail was James’s hands-on involvement—his visits turned technical choices into clear, teachable moments so each appointment left her learning something new. What stayed with her was the continuity: reliable installations paired with an owner who remains engaged through follow-up work and questions.

Stephanie S. trusted Pacific Electric Solar with multiple high-end residential properties over the last five-plus years and walked away impressed by the consistency and range of their work. She watched the crew handle everything from a full electrical panel upgrade with EM panel mapping to installation of a General generator and an extensive Tesla Powerwall system, while also updating a Tesla charging station and keeping the solar cells maintained. The team rerouted electrical runs alongside new fiber-optic lines, swapped out transformers, added security cameras and lighting, installed landscape lighting photocells, and even built dedicated electrical circuits for emergency refrigeration and generators during the pandemic. James Davison stood out for being hands-on throughout each job—following projects from start to finish and making sure loose ends were closed. The detail that lingered for her was the firm's ability to coordinate complex, multi-discipline work on luxury homes while maintaining personal follow-through at every stage.

Over more than four years, sshriver turned to Pacific Electric Solar for work across several residential properties, calling them in for everything from panel upgrades to battery backups. They entrusted the company with a long list of tasks: installing a new electrical panel with updated EM panel mapping, wiring a Generac generator, fitting an extensive Tesla Powerwall system and upgrading a Tesla charger, adding security cameras and lighting, rerouting electrical to accommodate fiber‑optic internet, updating transformers, putting in landscape lighting photocells, and performing solar cell maintenance. What set the experience apart was the consistent quality of workmanship and James Davison’s hands‑on management—he followed each project from start to finish to make sure things were completed to their satisfaction. The detail that stuck with them was the thoroughness: panel mapping was updated, the Powerwall integration worked seamlessly, and a single point of contact stayed with every job until everything was running correctly.

rangemaster1 had Pacific Electric Solar install a solar system on their home two years ago. They experienced a professional crew that kept the roof and yard remarkably tidy throughout the job, which made the process feel low‑stress. Two years later, they remain very pleased with the outcome and encourage others considering solar to give the company a look. The detail that stuck with them most was how clean and well‑organized the installation was from start to finish.

Denise K. decided to go green on her Los Angeles home and watched her LADWP bill tumble from $210 a month to just $11. She picked Mitsubishi solar panels paired with SolarEdge power optimizers and took a zero-down PACE loan — her first payment is deferred until 15 months after installation. She discovered PacSolar’s team delivered strong expertise and attentive service, and their quote came in noticeably lower than Costco’s. She ended up with a package that beat competitors on price while delivering the value and quality she wanted, and her lasting takeaway is a simple regret: she wishes she had gone solar years earlier.

Donald P. started out nervous about the sticker price and whether a solar setup would actually fit his needs, especially with plans to get an electric car someday. He met with Dean, Tom, James and the team and found Dean to be unusually patient and low-pressure—walking through different system types, weighing pros and cons, and tailoring options to Donald’s situation rather than pushing extras. Dean steered him away from buying add-on components that would have been useless right away, but designed the initial install so the system could be upgraded later. Since that first installation he has upgraded the array three times; each expansion was planned to squeeze the most value from the equipment and get the best bang for his buck. The clearest takeaway from his experience: a salesperson who refused to oversell and a system built to grow with his needs, culminating in three carefully timed upgrades.

Matthew found Pacific Electric Solar a pleasure to work with from first contact through "permission to operate." Jim guided the planning and design of his solar-only system with an educational, evidence-based approach that made the choices straightforward and helped him land on the right setup. James led the project with kindness, and the installers were courteous and clearly took pride in the quality of their work. He and his family now have a functioning system and expect years of production and responsive support — the clear design process and the crew’s attention to craftsmanship are what left him most confident.
