REP Solar reviews

The Verdict
REP Solar delivers clean installations by crews who show up on time and finish fast. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found 34 customers praising the quality of the work itself, with installers Rudy and Eduardo mentioned by name in multiple accounts for neat conduit runs and panels installed in a single day. One reviewer watched their team finish early so the homeowner could make an evening event on schedule. That kind of hustle stands out. The weak spot is reaching someone after the sale. One customer spent an hour navigating blocked emails and full voicemail boxes before pretending to be a new buyer just to reach a live person (the actual repair, once scheduled, went fine). If you value hands-on work over polished customer portals, REP is a solid pick. Their installers consistently show up prepared, answer questions on-site, and leave roofs looking tidy. Just keep the direct number for your project contact, because the main line can feel like a maze when something breaks three years later.
If you want an installer who'll finish your roof in a day and explain every wire along the way, REP delivers. Just don't expect the same responsiveness when you call about a tripped breaker two years down the road.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
For a two-day residential solar install, Ray F. chose Renewable Energy Partners and ended up very pleased with how it went. The installation crew — Rudy Giron and Eduardo Garcia — arrived on time, carried themselves professionally, and kept a friendly, communicative approach; Rudy took extra care to walk him through the system and what to expect. The moment that stood out most came when Ray mentioned an evening event on the second day: Rudy went out of his way to pick up the flashing and panels after finishing work that day rather than waiting until the next morning. That extra effort let Rudy and Eduardo be at the house before 8:30 AM and finish the job with plenty of time, so the family could leave for their event without rushing or worrying about the schedule. Ray walked away impressed by the crew’s attention to detail and their willingness to work around his plans — a practical example of a company making the installation fit the homeowner’s life.
Kai-Ning Jan discovered the solar panels from a roughly $10,000 installation stopped working three years after they went up. They hit a wall trying to get help: emails to the original contact and the invoice contact bounced or were blocked, and the phone number on the paperwork routed them through an automated system that either hung up or sent them to a full voicemail. After about an hour of dead ends, they googled the company and called in as if they were a new customer — that move finally connected them to a live person in engineering who handed over the right department number. From that point the experience turned around. Chang in engineering walked them step-by-step through reset procedures, then arranged a service visit when remote fixes failed. The technician missed the first scheduled window but showed up the next morning, diagnosed a tripped wire, repaired it, and patiently demonstrated how to reset the system themselves if it happens again. They walked away impressed with Chang and the crew’s hands-on support, but frustrated that an existing customer had to pretend to be new just to reach a live representative. The standout detail: effective, practical field service once
Chrispehl shopped several installers before signing with REP on 2/7/23, drawn to a company that offered competitive pricing (cheaper than the big national names) and high-quality equipment. He met Tom early on and discovered a salesperson who focused on numbers and projected production, and that confidence helped settle the decision. The paperwork moved quickly at first — a site survey and SCE approval came through fast — then the project slowed. About 15 days before the installer’s promised completion date he nudged the administrative team to push things along. When crews finally arrived, Rudy and Koua stood out: they explained the hardware and process, ran conduit tight to the panels and painted it to match, and even pushed a loose roof tile back into place during the work. Their attention to detail became the most memorable part of the install. On the other hand, arrival windows for trades were sometimes uncertain and one electrician showed up an hour early and shut off power with only ten minutes’ notice. On deliverables, most of Chrispehl’s key requests came through. REP met the NEM 2.0 application deadline, positioned the panels so they’re virtually invisible from the road,

What You Can Expect
Michael H watched his monthly electric bill tumble from more than $1,000 to roughly $40 after a year with Rep Solar — the kind of result that framed the whole experience. He moved forward with a system for his single-story building after the company patiently answered his seemingly endless questions and designed a layout that fit the roof. Their in-house crew handled the install smoothly, leaving an attractive array that looks right on the house. The system has been operating for over a year with no problems, and he appreciated the combination of solid customer service and competitive pricing that accompanied the technical know-how. What sticks with him most is the dramatic drop in monthly costs paired with a clean, professional installation by the company’s own team.
H C. marked the one-year anniversary of a solar install on their Corona home and discovered they'd saved more than $2,000 compared with the prior year's energy bills. The detail that made the experience feel different was how involved the company's rep, "Tom the Solar Guy", stayed — he answered a stream of questions, guided them through every step, and checked in several times over the year so the project never felt like a finished transaction. The installation itself moved quickly; the crew arrived friendly and professional, and the panels have produced reliably with no issues. After getting quotes from at least ten contractors, they chose REP because it was local and offered the best price. They've already pointed several neighbors toward REP, and the takeaway that sticks is tangible: dependable production plus a clear $2,000-plus saving after one year, with a salesperson who kept following up.
At the one-year mark after installing rooftop solar with REP on her home, Helena discovered the system trimmed her energy costs by over $2,000 compared with the previous year. The process centered around REP’s rep, "Tom the Solar Guy," who came across as consistently friendly and knowledgeable and walked her through permitting, installation and activation. What mattered most wasn't just the savings but the follow-through: Tom checked in several times throughout the year, which reassured her that she remained a client rather than a finished job the company disappeared from. Because of that ongoing support, she has already passed REP’s name to several neighbors and feels confident the local company will be available if anything comes up.
