Rising Sun Electrify reviews

The Verdict
We found an electrician who shows up on holiday weekends to diagnose failed breakers and get your power back on before the food spoils. Rising Sun Electrify has been handling Orange County homes for years, and across dozens of reviews we couldn't find a single complaint about workmanship, project management, or follow-through. What sets them apart is owner Peter's willingness to troubleshoot orphaned solar projects that other installers won't touch. One homeowner called around to multiple top-rated solar companies after their original installer (Sunnova) went bankrupt and left panels sitting dark on the roof. Every shop either refused to service another company's work or was booked out for months. Rising Sun answered the same day, sent a proposal that afternoon, and had the system commissioned two days later. Beyond rescues, they handle standard electrical upgrades (panel swaps, outlet repairs, new circuits) with the same speed and care, often finishing permitted work in a single day and cleaning up so thoroughly you'd think the new panel had been there for years.
If you need solar commissioning, battery backup, or just a panel upgrade done right the first time, Rising Sun Electrify is the call. Peter answers his phone on weekends, quotes fairly, and doesn't walk away when the job gets complicated.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
When Jim Smith got a call from his renter on a holiday weekend—power out and a refrigerator full of food—he rang Rising Sun Electric. The owner, Pete, showed up that evening, diagnosed a failed 200-amp main breaker, and got the power back on so the food wouldn’t spoil. Pete then ordered the special replacement part needed to finish the job. What stuck with him was that the company owner came out personally on a holiday and handled both the immediate rescue and the follow-up repair.
Sophia S. discovered her home’s solar system—a Sunnova installation tied to her builder—had become an orphan when Sunnova began folding and stopped responding to service requests. She called several top-rated installers only to find them booked out months or unwilling to touch another company’s work. Rising Sun Electrify answered differently: they sounded confident that taking over orphaned systems was routine, and they acted immediately. Josephine picked up the thread, responding quickly, efficiently, and with a friendly manner; Peter and Tomas and another crew member came out to help on-site. Rising Sun showed up the next day to inspect how her panels and Enphase box were configured, emailed a proposal that afternoon outlining the steps to get the Enphase commissioned, and then scheduled the work just two days after Sophia approved the plan. The outcome was fast, competent troubleshooting and commissioning when other companies wouldn’t—or couldn’t—help. For someone stuck with a stranded Sunnova install and an uncommissioned Enphase box, Sophia walked away relieved that a local crew jumped in and resolved it within days.
About two years ago Hien Nguyen decided to add solar panels to his home and upgrade the main electrical service to a 200A panel, and he hired Rising Sun Electrify to do the work. He watched the crew arrive at 7:00 a.m. on the dot, and they delivered on a bold promise: panels, the panel upgrade, and the city inspection all wrapped up in a single day. With an engineering background, he grilled Peter, the owner, on technical details; Peter answered every question thoroughly, revealing a deep, hands‑on knowledge of the trade. He climbed onto the roof to observe and noticed the crew treating safety seriously and working with visible care and pride. At the end of the day he walked through the job with Peter and found the stucco patched and painted around the new panel so seamlessly it looked like it had always been there; the crew left the site clean. When he discovered Enphase hadn’t included the Wi‑Fi access point for the controller, Peter suggested skipping the extra purchase and simply running an Ethernet cable to the home router, even offering to do the wiring the next day. The clearest takeaways: a punctual, one‑day completion that passed inspection and a flawless cosmetic finish —

Thomas has relied on Rising Sun for several years and discovered the crew to be honest, professional and truly experienced. He continues to use them for his solar needs and recommends them based on years of reliable service.
For about three years Thomas B. kept Rising Sun Electric on call for electrical work at his Tustin office. He counted on them for dependable work, punctual scheduling and—most importantly—clear honesty. He found their prices fair and the workmanship high quality, and he liked the way they conduct business so much that he decided to hire them for a home renovation. He praised Peter and the crew, gave a five-star rating, and plans to post another review once the residential job is completed.
