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.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
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.
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.
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.
