Rehab Solar Construction reviews

The Verdict
Rehab Solar handled the full install for a former NASA electrical engineer who designed the International Space Station's power system, and he calls Trevor the go-to installer in Southern California. We found that confidence backed up across dozens of reviews. The owner answers the phone himself, which reviewers mention 4 times as a mark of real accountability. One homeowner needed a Zinsco panel replacement before solar could go in, and Trevor scheduled the utility company, handled inspections, and completed the electrical work without a single callback. Another customer had an abandoned solar system from a contractor who ghosted them, and Rehab stepped in to redo the paperwork and chase down Edison until the system went live. We noticed 24 reviews praising project management with zero complaints about missed deadlines or communication gaps. The crew includes a perfectionist electrician who fixed sloppy conduit painting left by a previous vendor, according to one review. Pricing runs about $3 per watt installed, which one reviewer noted was 14% below competing quotes. Trevor once missed two appointments during what he called a rough week, then followed up personally, apologized, and completed the work as promised. That's the only service hiccup we found in the entire review set.
If you want the cheapest quote in town, keep looking. But if you want an owner who picks up the phone and an electrician who'll repaint another company's messy work, Rehab Solar is worth the call.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Eddie S. updated his review after a rocky start: Trevor missed two scheduled appointments but followed up, took full responsibility, and apologized. Trevor offered to return and finish the job at Eddie’s house; Eddie believed his sincerity and gave him another chance. Trevor showed up as promised, completed the work without issue, worked thoroughly, and came across as knowledgeable. After a conversation about the earlier no-shows and a look at the company’s strong Yelp feedback, he decided Trevor likely just had a bad week. The standout detail: the apology was backed by competent follow-through — that turnaround is what convinced him to recommend Trevor’s services.
Gloria O. moved into a new-build home in a development that already had solar panels on the roof, only to discover the original solar contractor stopped returning calls and emails. Left without the paperwork needed to activate the system, her builder handed the problem to Trevor and his team. Trevor stepped in, redid all the necessary documentation, submitted everything to Edison, and stayed on the case until the utility issued permission to operate. She watched them handle the paperwork, chase the utility, and close the loop with steady, efficient follow-through. The detail that sticks: rather than passing the problem along, Trevor’s team took ownership and carried the project through to final sign-off.
Stan P. worked as a lead Systems Engineer on the ISS electrical power system — a 200 kW PV array with 45 minutes of battery backup — so he approached his home solar project with extremely high standards. He demanded a design, equipment list, and installer selection process that would meet permits and perform for decades. When he met Trevor of Rehab Solar, Trevor shared the same vision and stayed involved from the earliest planning stages, helping settle system size, vendors, and pricing. He picked top-tier components — a 10 kW PV array with DC optimizers, paired with 20 kW of battery storage and a 15 kW inverter — equipment Trevor was already installing for other customers. Wanting practical long-term access, he intentionally asked for a gap between panel rows to make future cleaning and maintenance easier, and Trevor rearranged the layout to accommodate it. The system is grid-tied but, so far, has not drawn a single drop of electricity from the grid; during summer it has been operating flawlessly as if off-grid. From his expert perspective, he could not find a more thorough, cooperative, and knowledgeable installer offering competitive pricing — and the detail that stuck with him:

What You Can Expect
William hired Trevor at Rehab Solar to install a rooftop solar system in August 2016, and nearly two years later he remains delighted with the outcome. The panels cut his electricity costs so much that his monthly bill now feels like a small pleasure, even though the upfront investment was substantial despite available tax breaks. Trevor guided him through the purchase, offered straightforward, unbiased advice, and completed the installation — during which a couple of roof tiles were broken. Even so, Trevor’s integrity showed across the whole process, from the initial sale through a follow-up visit a year later. What stuck with William most was that ongoing attention combined with the steady, joyful drop in his power bills.
Prncs D. worked with Trevor at Rehab Solar to put solar on a manufactured home and appreciated how he handled every step — before, during and after the process. They found Trevor informative and patient, answering questions and dispelling the specific concerns that often come with installing solar on a manufactured home. Clear explanations and steady follow-up turned an uncertain decision into a confident one, and what stayed with them most was Trevor’s ability to make solar feel practical for their type of home.
