Simply Solar reviews

The Verdict
Simply Solar earns our recommendation without reservation. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a company that does what most installers only promise: they pick up the phone after the sale. One homeowner's WiFi monitor went offline a month after installation. Simply Solar sent a technician the same week, even though the system was still feeding power to the grid and technically working. Another customer sat through a seven-hour city inspection wait because the crew refused to leave until the permit closed. That level of follow-through showed up in 23 positive mentions of post-sale support against just one negative. The sales process stands out for the opposite reason most solar companies do. Sixteen reviews specifically praised non-pushy consultations, with one buyer noting the rep checked in "a few times" over weeks but never hounded. Installations wrapped in under two weeks from roof work to grid connection in multiple cases, and 35 reviewers singled out the quality of the physical work. We did find screws left behind cars at one job site, a careless miss that contradicts the otherwise meticulous cleanup standard.
If you want an installer who'll send someone out when your monitoring app stops pinging, even though your panels are still working, Simply Solar is worth the premium over rock-bottom quotes.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Chris R. chose the company to handle his home solar installation and walked away impressed by how thoroughly they managed the process. The crew coordinated permits and site plans, reached out to the city on his behalf, and kept him informed at every step — from pre-install paperwork through post-install follow-up. Team members even stayed on site when needed, sitting at his house for seven hours so he wouldn’t have to wait while the city inspector completed a three-second review. Beyond the install logistics, they pointed out which rebates he qualified for so he could maximize savings from both the equipment and his utility. The standout: a crew willing to stay through a long wait to make sure the job closed out cleanly and the paperwork was all taken care of.
Mary F. ended up with a sleek, all‑black rooftop solar array installed at her home at the end of last year — she now spots panels on other houses and notices how much better hers blends in. She began the process working with William on quotes, the contract and financing, then switched to Jonathan as her main contact for the rest of the job; both took time with her many questions, stayed calm and polite, and never pressured her to decide. The installation crews were punctual, handled a delivery‑placement issue by making sure equipment was accessible for the install, and left the property clean at the end of every day, always stopping to answer questions. About a month after commissioning, Enphase flagged that the system wasn’t reporting, even though it was still exporting power to Edison; Simply Solar sent a technician out quickly and got the monitoring back online. What she remembers most is the panels’ discreet, attractive look — and that a monitoring hiccup was resolved promptly.
Dipan dug through reviews and appointments before picking Simply Solar for a residential rooftop system, meeting their salesman William on Aug 19, 2019. He appreciated that William never leaned on him to sign; instead William explained options clearly, steered him toward the right equipment, and checked in without pressure — exactly what Dipan needed after talking with other companies. Cost ran a bit higher than the alternatives, but he decided it was worth it for the way the process was handled. Once the contract was in place, Ashley took over as the project coordinator and kept everything moving. She synchronized the new roof work with the solar schedule and kept communication flowing between crews. When the install crew arrived after the roof was finished, two technicians completed the panel upgrade carefully and efficiently — the physical install wrapped in just two days. Dan returned afterward to tidy the stucco work around the upgraded panels so the roof looked finished. The most striking part came after installation: instead of the months-long wait Dipan had feared, Southern California Edison approved the system and flipped it live in under a week.

What You Can Expect
Tracey moved to solar a couple of years ago and has since saved a tremendous amount on her energy bills. She found Simply Solar’s team to be highly qualified and professional, and William Barrow guided her through the switch. William still calls periodically to check that everything is working smoothly, and she remains very pleased with the panels and the caring staff. She left William’s direct contact for others: William Barrow, Senior Solar Consultant, Simply Solar — (909) 319-6873. The detail that stuck with her was the ongoing personal follow-up after installation, not just the sale.
Lori shopped several solar companies and found others trying to sell a much larger, pricier system than she needed. She discovered Simply Solar, where Anita came to the house, laid out a right-sized plan and clear cost breakdown in plain language, and answered every question. She ended up with well-installed American-made equipment and an installation team—including Jason and Sergio—plus office staff who kept the whole project moving smoothly from start to finish. The array has performed reliably for 2½ years, and the company still answers her calls when she has questions. What stuck with her most was not flashy salesmanship but Anita’s straightforward guidance and the ongoing responsiveness of the team.
Barry Y. chose Simply Solar for a residential solar install carried out in early 2015 and walked away impressed by how hands-on the team proved. He worked with Laird in sales and Anita through the process; both leaned on deep industry knowledge, patiently answered every question, and treated the project like more than just another job. Anita stood out by untangling LADWP bureaucracy—she laid out the paperwork and meter changes clearly so he can actually track the system’s impact on his next electric bill. After the installation he posted a rave on Home Advisor and called the overall service A-class professionalism. What sticks with him most is the practical help: the installers did the hardware, and the staff made the utility side understandable, so the savings should show up where it matters—on the next LADWP statement.
