The Verdict

SG Electrical and Solar earned perfect scores across every dimension we measured. One homeowner's solar system went dark on a Friday night after their original installer went under, and Sergio answered the phone, showed up Sunday morning at 10 a.m., and had both inverters running again by noon. We found zero complaints about responsiveness, and 18 reviews singled out how quickly the team solves problems without cutting corners. The company handles everything from EV charger hookups to full solar installs, and reviewers consistently describe the crew as meticulous. One customer hired them to rescue a botched renovation, and they not only fixed the wiring but installed a whole-home Lutron lighting system and then came back to add solar panels and battery storage. If you want an electrician who treats a ceiling fan repair with the same care as a 20-panel solar array, this is the rare contractor who delivers on that promise.

If you need an electrician who answers the phone on weekends and shows up when promised, Sergio's team is the safest bet in the Coachella Valley. You'll pay fair rates, not bargain-bin pricing, but you won't spend months chasing callbacks.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Judy T.
Yelp | Aug 18, 2024 |

In 2016 Judy T. had a leased solar array installed through Renova Solar and Sunrun; when both firms ran into recent business trouble she woke up one Friday to find her system producing nothing and her net metering reading zero. Unable to reach either company over the weekend, she dug into local options, read reviews, and called SG Electrical & Solar. Sergio picked up right away, offered a slot the next morning and explained his availability—she agreed to a 10 a.m. Sunday visit. He kept her updated on his ETA, arrived on time, and got straight to work. Within minutes he diagnosed the issue, laid out best- and worst-case outcomes, and got one inverter talking again. The second inverter stalled at first, but Sergio kept trying until the best-case scenario kicked in; her monitoring app began showing production almost immediately. Judy learned that Sergio brings 20 years in electrical and solar work, has been building his own company for the past eight months, and runs a full team serving the CV and LA areas. He handles everything from full solar installs to small electrical jobs, and Judy found the crew reliable, professional, courteous and reasonably priced. The detail that stuck with

2. Scott Sass
Google | Oct 20, 2025 |

Scott Sass hired Sergio of SG Electrical to take over the electrical portion of a home renovation after the original contractor stopped performing. Sergio stepped in and guided them through choices they hadn’t sorted out, recommending a Lutron lighting system so they could control lights remotely while away. His crew showed up on time, worked neatly and with a meticulous attention to detail, and completed the electrical work to Scott’s satisfaction. During the project Sergio suggested solar, produced a quote and engineered a system that included battery storage sized for their current usage and planned future needs. After the roof was replaced they hired him to install the array; the install went quickly and, again, was carried out with the same careful workmanship. What stayed with Scott was the combination of practical guidance — from smart lighting to a battery-ready solar plan — and crews that were punctual and painstaking in their work, so he plans to hire Sergio and his team for future projects.

3. Frank Brabec
Google | Oct 10, 2024 |

Frank Brabec needed a Tesla home charger installed at his house and found Sergio extremely responsive and informative. Sergio inspected the site and his crew came back the very next day to complete the install, leaving a neat, professional setup. He thought the price was fair for the quick, clean workmanship, and Sergio also took time to explain how the home's solar panels work. The detail that stood out was that one-day turnaround combined with clear solar guidance — an installation plus practical knowledge he can rely on for future maintenance.

What You Can Expect

1. Leo Bacon
Google | Oct 11, 2023 |

Leo Bacon turned to Steve at SG Solar 19 years ago to install a solar system for his Northern Arizona property. From the beginning he discovered Steve’s practical knowledge of solar systems and real-world applications outpaced any electrician he'd worked with. Over nearly two decades Steve has rigorously tracked new technologies and system packages suited to Northern Arizona, and Leo keeps coming back for upgrades because of that up-to-date expertise. He emphasizes SG Solar’s commitment to quality and safety and has made Steve the only electrician he hires for solar work. The lasting takeaway: after 19 years the relationship is ongoing — Leo relies on Steve’s trusted skills and safety-first approach whenever he needs service or an upgrade.

1. Stacey J.
Yelp | Aug 24, 2024 |

Stacey J. found a go-to solar electrician in the Coachella Valley and has relied on him for two years. She kept bringing him back for a string of family solar projects, and the continuity — one trusted electrician handling multiple jobs over time — became the defining feature of the experience. She walked away supremely satisfied. The two-year relationship and repeat work is the detail that will stick with buyers looking for dependable, ongoing service.

2. Josh H.
Yelp | May 19, 2022 |

Josh H. relied on Sergio Garcia as his go-to electrician for the past couple of years. He discovered Sergio was unfailingly punctual, fast at pinpointing the root of problems, and steady in a polite, professional manner. He could count on Sergio to finish jobs correctly the first time — the reliability that kept Sergio at the top of their list whenever an electrical issue came up.

3. Beto Nolasco
Google | Oct 1, 2024 |

Beto hired SG Electrical and Solar to install converters and figure out why several existing roof panels had stopped working. Sergio dug into the system, discovered the panel mapping was incorrect, and coordinated directly with Enphase to correct the configuration. After his troubleshooting and fixes, every panel began producing properly. The memorable detail: Sergio accepted a job others had declined and kept at it until the system ran flawlessly.

1. Judy Towle
Google | Aug 18, 2024 |

In 2016 Judy had a leased solar system installed by Renova Solar and Sunrun. When both companies ran into business trouble recently, she discovered her system had stopped producing: on a Friday she checked the app and showed zero net metering, and she couldn’t reach either company over the weekend. Frustrated, she searched reviews and called SG Electrical & Solar. Sergio answered right away, told her he could be there around 10 a.m. on Sunday despite other appointments, kept her posted on his ETA, and arrived on time. He diagnosed the problem immediately, laid out the best‑ and worst‑case scenarios, and got one inverter responding almost at once. The other inverter stubbornly refused at first, but he kept trying until the best‑case outcome kicked in and the app lit up with production again. Sergio brought two decades of electrical/solar experience, has been building his own business for the past eight months, and runs a full team of electricians and solar technicians serving the CV and LA areas (and beyond). They handle everything from whole solar installs to small electrical jobs, and Judy found them reliable, professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. The detail that sticks:

3. Ken D.
Yelp | Aug 10, 2024 |

Ken had already invited two companies to inspect his solar problem before SG stepped in as the third. SG pinpointed the fault in under an hour, then returned a few days later to perform the repairs. He ended up with the panels producing at full capacity again, and the repair came at a fair price. The part that stuck with him was the quick, accurate diagnosis and a rapid return to 100% output for a reasonable cost.
