RC Energy Solutions reviews

Kim went looking for a roof and solar solution for her two-story, 2,400 ft² home in the summer of 2015 and ended up choosing RC Energy Solutions after walking away from another contractor under the 72-hour cancellation clause. She and Justin renegotiated the RC bid so plywood replacement would be included, and RC proposed reusing the existing tile rather than tearing the whole roof off — swapping in new tiles only where needed — which made the project substantially cheaper. The package ended up being about $33,000 for 18 solar panels, the re-roof using her tiles, new attic insulation, and a solar tube; the crew later asked for $1,200 more to replace some wood, which she paid. She waited about six weeks for RC to begin because they had a backlog, but the actual reroofing, insulation work, and solar install took roughly ten days. The installers showed up in the height of summer — regularly 98°F — worked nonstop, cleaned up thoroughly, and stayed friendly; Dan and Shaun handled the account setup and walked her through monitoring the system. Four years on, the panels and roof are still performing well. She also learned some hard lessons about PACE lending: Ygrene’s interest can be near

Kim C. sold her house and bought a larger one 11 miles away, and because she loved the energy efficiency of her old place she called Justin and his team again. As a two-time solar buyer with RC, she walked into a bigger project: the new home needed two air conditioners, a replacement furnace, and a solar system sized to drive the SDGE bill to zero — with the added goal that her net monthly payment for all of it match what she’d been paying SDGE. Justin came out, designed the package, and delivered a quote that hit that target; the installation ran just as smoothly the second time around. Dan, the project manager, handled timelines and communication so well that she never felt inconvenienced. A year after the job was complete and paid, a neighborhood outage fried the water heater RC had installed alongside the solar; she texted Justin, and minutes later his crew was mobilized to help, with Dan returning to the property to verify the system was back online and working perfectly. The detail that stands out: they didn’t disappear after the sale — they still answer a text and will come out to fix problems long after the invoice is closed.

Lilly hired the team for a complicated, full-condo overhaul — every single window and door replaced — and they handled the job smoothly without disrupting family life. She watched the installation crew work for days in the home with her and the baby present, and they stayed tidy, punctual and unusually considerate throughout the process. Over years of working with Justin and his crew, she found their advice practical and their proposals solid, yet they never pushed a hard sell. She ended up giving them as much work as she could and already plans more projects. What stood out most was their ability to execute a large, messy renovation cleanly and respectfully in a lived-in condo with a baby around — that combination is why she keeps coming back.

Pete C. hired RC Energy Solution to replace his roof, a job that also required taking down and putting back his solar panels and installing new rain gutters around the house. He watched the crew move quickly: the roof itself was finished in three days, and the entire project wrapped up in less than a week. He appreciated Justin’s professionalism on site and found the workmanship to be excellent. The final bill felt reasonable to him, and what stuck most was how fast the team completed a multi-part job—roof, solar panel removal/reinstall, and gutters—without any lingering issues.

Mary S. spent more than a year doing due diligence before picking RC Energy Solutions to install a system that had three non-negotiables: cover most of her SDG&E bill, stay invisible from the front because she’s a designer, and cost less than competing quotes. She ended up with panels that you can’t see from the front elevation and that blend with the roof on the rear—no bright silver grids sticking out—and a price that beat three other highly rated companies she compared. Justin from RC Energy pushed for their business in a way the competitors didn’t, and that made the difference. The financial outcome surprised her: after a rainy winter she paid a first true-up of only $183, down from the $300–$400 monthly electric bills she used to have. RC Energy folded rain gutters and solar attic fans into the same invoice in a way that increased the rebate; with that rebate she paid off $10,500 of the solar loan and now carries a $203/month payment. What stood out most was the follow-through. Living in a remote area with spotty Wi‑Fi, she discovered the company actively monitored the system and contacted her before she even realized the monitoring had lost connection; RC Energy came out

Alison turned to RC Energy Solutions for her solar installation and worked directly with Justin. She found Justin to be honest, reliable, and deeply knowledgeable, and his clarity removed the usual guesswork around going solar. The installation moved along smoothly, and the finished system met her expectations. The detail that stuck with her was Justin’s combination of technical competence and straightforward communication, which made an often-complex project feel refreshingly simple.

Pat G. hired the company to install an EV charger at their home and walked away thoroughly satisfied. Gabriel handled the whole job start to finish: he pulled the permits, arranged the post-install inspection, provided the complete set of rebate paperwork, organized the stucco patching, and delivered a clean installation — all at a very reasonable price. They liked that one person took care of both the technical work and the administrative follow-through, so nothing fell through the cracks. The house looked put back together and the rebate paperwork was ready to go, and they’re already lining up more electrical work with Gabriel.

In San Diego’s crowded solar market, Paola Z. had already heard — and even lived through — some poor experiences with other installers before she chose RC Solar & Roofing for her home system. She found the company refreshingly different: every stage of the installation proceeded smoothly, timelines were clear, and expectations were managed from start to finish. Justin stood out for his communication, laying out how long things would take and proactively reminding her to follow up on rebate paperwork. She felt fortunate to have been referred to RC Solar & Roofing, and ended up sending a few of her own customers their way — those customers returned with very positive feedback. The detail that stuck with her most was the proactive guidance on timelines and rebates, which turned what had been a stressful process elsewhere into a straightforward one.

Steven bought his first home while he and his spouse were both still on active duty in the Marine Corps and the Navy, and hired Justin and Ivan to handle a reroof plus a 30-panel solar system with a partial battery backup. Early in the reroof the team uncovered a patch of dry rot over the master bedroom left by a poor original roofing job; Justin coordinated with the roofing crew and BVI Solar’s installers, explained the issue, and arranged the repairs. He and his spouse had never hired a roofing or solar contractor before, but Justin and Ivan kept communication steady throughout the project and smoothed out every step. The project finished with a new roof and the full solar-plus-backup installation, and what stuck with them most was how the team found and fixed the hidden dry rot while keeping them informed—something that made the whole process feel unexpectedly painless.
