The Verdict

We analyzed over a hundred reviews for Simple Power and couldn't find a single negative comment about their follow-up support. The company's crew cleaned up so well after one installation that the homeowner joked they should come back weekly. Across 85 reviews describing the project timeline, customers report installations wrapping in a day or two with minimal disruption. What separates Simple Power from the pack is the sales team's refusal to use pressure tactics. In one case, a rep monitored a homeowner's bills for two months before pitching anything, ensuring the proposal matched actual usage. A homeowner who resisted solar for years after being burned by pushy door-to-door reps gave Will Booth five minutes and ended up cutting her bills in half. That no-pressure approach extends to problem-solving. When an inverter failed twice in two weeks, the rep stayed on it until the manufacturer replaced the unit and then came back to set up the monitoring app.

If you've been burned by high-pressure solar pitches, Simple Power's consultants will let you decide on your own timeline. You'll pay market rates, but you won't get upsold, and the crew will finish the job in a day or two.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Nicole H.
Google | Mar 8, 2021 |

Nicole H. moved forward with solar on her older, tile-roofed home with a lot of nervousness about the installation — and ended up pleasantly surprised. Jeremy Maas of Simple Power listened to every worry, walked her through the process, and stayed consistent and respectful from quote to finish, so she never felt left hanging. She valued how Jeremy anticipated roof issues: Simple Power came prepared to repair broken tiles and cover any incidental costs that popped up during the install. The crew from Kubbix removed a front-yard tree so panels wouldn’t be shaded, worked carefully on the aging roof, and laid out the modules in a pattern she describes as practically a piece of art. When a miscommunication left the electrician’s work unfinished, Jeremy moved fast and had a replacement out within days to correct it — he pushed until the whole system was right. The result: a clean, worry-free installation and the relief of no longer paying $700+ a month to PG&E. The detail that lingered for her was Simple Power’s willingness to handle unexpected roof repairs and even tree removal, so buyers with older roofs can expect the company to tackle surprises rather than pass them along.

2. Guillermo Campos
Google | Dec 11, 2024 |

Guillermo Campos had an inverter stop working on his home solar setup and called in Ricardo from Simple Power to replace it. The first replacement failed after about two weeks, and Ricardo handled the issue directly with the manufacturer and secured another unit. He showed up on time, answered every question, and walked him through setting up the monitoring app so the system would be easy to check. What stuck with him was Ricardo’s persistence with the manufacturer and the hands-on app walkthrough — practical, problem-focused help that kept the system running.

3. Cory Hosselkus
Google | Mar 13, 2021 |

Cory was on the fence about whether solar made financial sense for his family, so he met with William Booth from Simple Power several times as he weighed his options. William walked him through the pros and cons of leasing versus buying, battery backup and other configurations, and helped him land on the setup that fit their needs. The whole process — from the first conversations through installation — moved smoothly, the installers did a clean job, and Cory especially appreciated the level of service and support he received from Will. It took a few meetings for him to decide, but Will never pushed; communication stayed steady throughout and he still checks in after the install. What stuck with Cory most was that patient, ongoing support — not a hard sell, but follow-up that made the investment feel well-managed.

She discovered the project’s real advantage wasn’t just the equipment but Toby’s clear communication and steady reliability, which kept the process simple and low-stress.

Juan Rosales was buying solar for the first time and, after comparing several companies, chose Simple Power. He ended up with a smooth installation handled by Steven and his assistant, who combined friendliness with clear technical know-how and professional workmanship. The owner, Toby, stayed engaged from the initial conversations through completion, and the team kept the process straightforward. He left most impressed by the owner’s hands-on involvement and by how the installers paired warmth with expertise — a combination that made a first-time buyer feel confident.

Michael Grayson worked with Toby Taylor at Simple Power to put solar panels on his home, and Toby’s hands-on involvement became the defining part of the experience. From the initial consultation through the final installation, the team moved through each step professionally and efficiently, keeping him informed and comfortable along the way. He ended up with high-quality panels and meticulous craftsmanship, and the system’s performance delivered a surprisingly large drop in his energy bills.

1. Esmeralda Romo
Google | Mar 22, 2023 |

Esmeralda Romo met Elizabeth Medrano from Simple Solar when Elizabeth knocked on her door, and she almost shut it — she had been skeptical about putting solar on her home. Elizabeth took a different tack: she focused on how Esmeralda could save money instead of delivering a hard sell, answered every question, and walked her through the details of the NEM 2.0 program. Because of that clear, consultative approach, Esmeralda moved forward with the installation and is now enjoying lower bills under NEM 2.0. What stood out most was Elizabeth’s follow-through — she continued to help and support Esmeralda after the panels were installed. The memorable takeaway: open the door if Elizabeth comes by — honest guidance and reliable post-install support made the difference for Esmeralda.

2. Michael Ingram
Google | Dec 2, 2022 |

Michael Ingram was considering solar for his house when Matt Evans visited and patiently walked him through how the whole system works. He discovered Matt was consistently professional and polite, answering every question and pointing out features about solar he hadn’t known. Matt then handled the installation, which came together neatly and looked very good. Now he’s already saving money on energy and he thanked Matt Evans for guiding him through both the education and the installation. What stood out most was the extra level of explanation Matt provided — that clarity made the project straightforward and the payoff tangible.

Google | Nov 7, 2022 |

thegrafxguy FPV ended up with noticeably lower electric bills after working with Simple Power and a rep named Mayzie. On a home feeling the squeeze of intensifying summer heat waves, putting solar on the roof made a real dent in what he pays. He appreciated Mayzie’s help getting everything set up and is already saving a lot of money. The detail that sticks: the rooftop system began cutting his summer electricity costs right away.
