Plug It In Solar reviews

The Verdict
Plug It In Solar nails the two things most installers mess up: electrical work and follow-through. We analyzed over a hundred reviews and couldn't find a single complaint about workmanship quality. One homeowner in Agua Dulce had Tesla Powerwalls installed three years ago and recently called the team back when a unit failed—they swapped it out with the same meticulous attention to detail he remembered from the original job. That kind of consistency is rare. The crew earned perfect marks for technical skill, with 76 reviewers praising their craftsmanship and another 96 highlighting smooth project execution. What separates this company is their dual expertise: they're licensed electricians first, solar installers second, so they understand how energy flows through your entire home, not just the roof. We did notice one pattern worth mentioning: several customers had to chase the team for updates between milestones, particularly during permitting and utility interconnection. One reviewer sat without power during the LA wildfires even though panels and batteries were already mounted, waiting weeks for the final switch-flip because no one proactively scheduled it. If you need hand-holding at every step, set that expectation up front.
If you want panels installed by people who can troubleshoot your main electrical panel in their sleep and will still be answering your calls three years later when something breaks, the occasional radio silence during permitting is a fair trade.
3 Stories That Stood Out
Miles Olin followed a long-standing recommendation from Keith Graves when he hired Plug It In Solar to add energy storage to his Agua Dulce home. He worked directly with Seth and Sasun, who became his go-to contacts; they stayed responsive, answered questions quickly, and coordinated between him and the installation crew. The team installed two Tesla Powerwalls and handled a necessary electrical panel upgrade, carefully transferring all wiring—work he was relieved to leave to professionals because he doesn’t like dealing with electricity. Installers stayed professional, involved him during the process, and walked him through why certain choices were made, which he appreciated for their attention to detail. After inspection, the system faced its first real test during a power outage: the Powerwalls kicked in immediately and kept the house powered, confirming the installation worked as promised. Three years on, he remains satisfied, and the instant the Powerwalls kept the lights on during that first outage is the single moment that proved the system delivered.
This homeowner hired the company to install a substantial rooftop system — 33.5 kW total module power (33 × 415 W panels) paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh), expected to produce about 20,911 kWh a year. They watched crews arrive early each morning and stay late, working with a level of care that made the whole project feel effortless: every detail handled cleanly, timelines met, and the finished work exceeding expectations. What stood out most was the attention to aesthetics — the crews concealed and color-matched all the steel piping to the house so it blends in, a sharp contrast to neighbors’ homes where shiny exposed conduits remain visible. They thanked crew members Aaron, Mike, Joseph, Mario, Javier, Edger, Richard and Alejandro, and credited project managers Issac and Sierra for constant communication and for shielding them from city hassles. The experience left them so pleased — and impressed by the team’s professionalism and craftsmanship — that they’re even considering adding more panels.
Phillip Phan began a solar-plus-battery install for his home on 09/27/2024 and expected the company to steer the project through to activation. He discovered the crew was attentive when they were on-site or on the phone, but follow-up evaporated between major steps — he ended up repeatedly calling and emailing to find out why things stalled or to schedule the next action. Progress only kicked back into gear after he pushed; when he stopped chasing, nothing moved. Amanda was the one person who stayed on top of details, but she no longer worked for the company, so he wound up contacting DWP himself because the interconnection specialist wasn’t handling utility communications. After he signed off to release his loan funds on 01/04/2025, the job seemed to drop to the back burner. The team wasn’t even aware of when DWP would come to issue his PTO (permission to operate), creating another delay before the system could be turned on. The project started 09/27/2024 and remained ongoing as of 02/27/2025; most painfully, even with panels and a battery installed he had no power during the recent wildfires. The clearest takeaway: if you need dependable backup power, confirm who will manage theD

What You Can Expect
Hemant had his Powerwalls installed a few years ago when PlugitinSolar worked as a subcontractor for another company, and he found the team professional and courteous from permit paperwork through final installation. The installation crew proved very detail-oriented, and when one Powerwall recently needed replacement they came through again with the same professional, considerate approach. Mr Seth, the project manager/coordinator, stood out as especially friendly and service-focused while managing the job. He ended up with fully functioning Powerwalls and a clear takeaway: consistent attention to detail and hands-on coordination from the team made both the original install and the later replacement straightforward.

Prabhu picked Plug It In Solar for a home solar installation that included a battery and found the company’s steady hands—especially after the install—to be the standout feature. The team kept him informed at every step and navigated the maze of regulations and paperwork that come with solar and storage systems. They answered his questions quickly and didn’t disappear once the panels were on the roof. Instead, they worked with him for more than a year after installation, handling forms and follow-ups to help secure the battery rebate. He ended up relieved that the bureaucracy was managed for him and glad he chose a company that stayed involved until the rebate was in place.
Guillermo had Plug It In put solar panels on his home a few years ago and brought them back this year to add a Level 2 EV charging station. The team worked around his work schedule to set an appointment, and Bryan showed up on time and completed the charger installation. The whole process went smoothly. What stuck with him was the scheduling flexibility and Bryan’s punctual, efficient finish — arriving within his narrow availability made the upgrade feel effortless.
Dany has worked with Plug It In Systems for more than 20 years and ultimately trusted them to install a solar system on his home. He walked away with a neatly executed installation and continued, reliable support — the same electrical service he’d relied on for years now extended to his solar setup. The most memorable detail is that two decades of experience with the company culminated in a flawless solar installation and consistently excellent customer service for both electrical and solar needs.
Ann K. has relied on the company since they installed her Tesla Powerwall in 2019, and she still calls on them when things get complicated. The team — from Lee Dagan on down — delivered steady professionalism, but the standout moment came with Sasun G., who recently tackled a baffling hardware-communication issue between her solar panels’ Enphase monitoring system (installed by a different company that no longer exists) and the Powerwall. He dug into the problem with persistence, technical know-how, and clear communication, going the extra mile until the systems finally synced. What stuck with her most is that the crew stayed with a messy, leftover integration problem that other installers hadn’t fixed, demonstrating the kind of integrity and follow-through that keeps her coming back.
Harvey turned to Plug it in Solar to keep his home’s solar system running and ended up relying on Seth, their technical support expert, for day-to-day care. He’s worked with the company for several years and compared them to other providers he tried; none matched the combination of professionalism and steady service he found with this team. What stands out is the hands-on, reliable technical support—Seth and the Plug it in Solar crew kept the system maintained over time in a way his previous vendors did not.
Scott picked Lee and his crew to install solar on both homes he lived in — a Reseda house in 2015 and an Alhambra home in 2019. After comparing many installers, he discovered Lee’s deeper grasp of tax credits and rebates translated into a noticeably lower overall price and smoother financial side of the project. He came back to the same team the second time, trusted them enough to refer a coworker, and ultimately ended up with two successful installations handled by the same crew. The memorable part for him wasn’t just the workmanship but how Lee navigated incentives to save money on both installs.
Silvia P. waited a year and a half and several months of live testing before writing about her experience with Plug it In Solar, so her praise comes from long-term results rather than first impressions. She discovered the company by answering a door-to-door visit on a day she normally wouldn’t—timing that worked out perfectly because she was already planning a roof redo and had been gathering quotes. From the start she found Lee, the manager/director, exceptionally calm, patient and knowledgeable; when questions or panic popped up, he slowed down, walked her through each step, and kept explaining until she understood. She felt his technical curiosity and up-to-date energy-efficiency know-how at every stage, and admired how he paused to problem-solve and offer multiple valid options whenever unexpected issues arose. Plug it In’s solar operation is relatively new, but it sits inside a family-run electrical company with many years of experience, which gave her comfort that the team understood “the whole system,” down to interior outlets. That foundation mattered: she contrasted her situation with friends who hired solar installers that later folded, and appreciated that Plug it In
