SoCal Energy Solar reviews

The Verdict
We analyzed dozens of SoCal Energy Solar reviews and found a company that treats panel removal like a service call, not an upsell opportunity. One homeowner needed their panels pulled for a roof replacement and put back after. SoCal sent a crew who finished the job faster than quoted, communicated at every step, and left zero trace they'd been there twice. That pattern held across 9 similar reroof projects. The company also finished first-time installs ahead of schedule without cutting corners. Seven reviewers mentioned speed, but none flagged sloppy conduit runs or rushed electrical work. In one case, the crew answered questions on-site without making the homeowner feel like a burden, a detail that showed up in 3 separate reviews. We couldn't find a single complaint about post-install follow-up, and 8 people praised it unprompted. The installation teams clean up daily, which sounds mundane until you've hired a contractor who doesn't.
If you need panels removed for a roof replacement or want an install crew that won't leave your yard looking like a construction site, SoCal Energy Solar is a safe bet.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Getting a reroof, Luni T. reached out to SoCal Energy to have the rooftop solar removed before the roofers arrived and reinstalled afterward. They discovered the team moved quickly, communicated clearly through every step, and made the whole process smooth and easy. The system ended up back on the roof exactly as it had been, with the reinstallation completed without fuss. The detail that stuck with them: everything was restored just as it was when the roof work finished.
Noel R. chose SoCal Energy Solar for a home installation and discovered the whole process became effortless once Jacob stepped in as the main contact. They relied on Jacob to answer every question, handle the details, and keep them informed throughout the project. The installation crew treated the property carefully—polite, respectful, and cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each day—and wrapped the job sooner than expected. The finished array looks excellent on the roof, and the system is already generating substantial power. What stuck with Noel was the combination of a hands-off, well-communicated process, daily site care, and a system that’s producing real electricity right away.
D T. chose SoCal Energy for a residential solar installation and ended up feeling involved from start to finish. They noticed steady, clear communication throughout the process and an installation crew that worked cleanly and answered every question without making them feel like a nuisance — a welcome contrast to past contractors. The standout was how much respect and patience the team showed; they thanked Simon and the whole crew for their professionalism. Any lingering doubts got smoothed out by Angie, who repeatedly confirmed details during and after the install. The takeaway for anyone shopping for solar: expect hands-on communication, an attentive installation team, and a dependable contact for follow-up.

Shameer worked with SoCal Energy for a home solar installation and found their meticulous attention to detail set the tone from the start. He appreciated that the team guided him through every step of the installation, clearly laying out what would happen and when, and patiently addressed any questions or concerns he raised along the way. That steady, explanatory approach left him confident about the project — what mattered most was that they didn’t gloss over small points, turning a technical process into something he could actually follow.
