Sol R Us Electrical Engineering reviews

Bill W. shopped three bids and picked Sol R Us to add solar to his ranch-style home just over three years ago because they offered the best price and could install the system within weeks. He discovered Daniel’s energy calculations were spot-on: during summer he cools the house and ends up with a “zero” PG&E bill, leaving him to pay only for gas in winter. More than three years after the install a small leak showed up; with a concrete tile roof he assumed the panels had caused damage. Louis and his crew arrived the same day in the rain, climbed onto the roof, diagnosed clogged roof valleys from poor maintenance, and repaired the problem before they left. The quick, hands-on service in bad weather — fixing the issue on the spot even though it wasn’t their fault — is the detail he still remembers.

George had solar panels installed on his home about 18 months ago, and what stuck with him was how responsive Daniel, the salesperson, remained long after the sale. The installation itself went smoothly, and post-install customer service stayed excellent. Daniel kept answering questions and following up many months after he "closed the deal," so he continued to feel supported well after the system went live. The concrete takeaway: a tidy installation plus a named salesperson who stays reachable months after sign-off.

Alex waited more than a year after his SolRus installation — holding off until after his first PG&E annual true-up — before writing, wanting the full picture. Referred by a former co-worker whose rooftop he inspected and who had worked with Chris, Daniel and Arielle, he dug into six bids and picked SolRus because they specified high-quality components at the best price he could find: panels, inverters and even roof mounts that other companies either left unspecified or priced far higher for inferior gear. He worried about a brand-new roof being damaged, so he checked the attic through heavy winter rains and found no leaks. He asked Daniel to oversize the system by 20% in anticipation of buying an EV, and the array beat expectations — producing 609 kWh more than projected from June 2022 through May 2023 despite a rainy season. That performance left him a net exporter of 1,818 kWh for the year and earned a $154.72 credit on the first true-up, and because he’s grandfathered under NEM 2.0 and rates have increased, he now expects a roughly 3.5-year payback. He warns shoppers to be careful of aggressive lease and PPA pitches — deals he views as heavily weighted toward the seller — and he

Alex D. sent 23 friends and family to SolRus after his own system outperformed expectations — that referral tally is the clearest sign of how strongly he felt about the whole experience. He followed a coworker’s lead to meet SolRus, dug into six bids because he wanted to get into the weeds before committing, and ended up picking them for a residential install on a house with a brand-new roof. He worked with Chris, Daniel and Arielle through the process. Wary of contractors who won’t specify equipment, he appreciated that SolRus laid out the panel, inverter and roof-mount models — he judged all of it as premium and noted the price was competitive. Concerned about roof damage after putting on a new roof, he climbed into the attic a few times during heavy winter rains and found no leaks. Daniel recommended oversizing the array by about 20% to prepare for an eventual electric vehicle and rising household usage; the system ended up producing 609 kWh more than Daniel projected from June 2022 through May 2023 despite a rainy, cloudy winter. Over that year he was a net exporter by 1,818 kWh, and PG&E owed him $154.72 on the first annual true-up. Because he’s still on NEM 2.0 and with 1

Michael had already given Sol R Us a five-star review more than three years ago after they installed solar on his home, and a recent scare in April tested whether that praise still fit. On a bright, sunny day he opened the SolarEdge app and discovered his system was producing zero electricity — the generation history showed it had stopped creating power on March 16. When he climbed up to check the equipment, the inverter’s green LED was blinking, and online forums suggested the unit was communicating but not actually making power. Calling SolarEdge led nowhere; they were impossible to reach, and local repair searches turned up nothing useful. He phoned Sol R Us, and they immediately stepped into the problem. Technicians remembered his install, dug into the issue, and took over communications with SolarEdge. Over the next few days they worked the case with the manufacturer; then on a Friday they called to say SolarEdge had shipped a replacement inverter and Sol R Us could install it the following Monday. Michael didn’t view the failure as the installer’s fault, but he appreciated that Sol R Us treated him like a valued customer and drove the entire solution — coordinating with the

Brian H. installed a solar-plus-battery system with Sol R Us in August 2021, and the moment that defined the relationship came when the system went offline earlier this summer. A manufacturer software fault knocked the system down, and Sol R Us showed up within a couple of days to diagnose and restore service. Leading up to that, the installation had been smooth and low‑stress: they used top-of-the-line equipment, met their commitments, and kept the process simple to work with. The system has performed well since, and what he remembers most is the fast, no-fuss return visit — the reason he’d call them again.

Dana had Sol R Us install a rooftop solar system a little over a year ago and wrote after living with it through a full annual cycle. Having already put solar on another house, she shopped around and chose Sol R Us for a competitively priced package and the panel selection they offered. Jose patiently walked her through the materials and workmanship, and once they agreed on price and panels, Chris followed up with clear, detailed explanations of what the crew would do and how the installation would proceed. The team managed to fit the job in earlier than planned and handled all the back-and-forth with PG&E, so approvals and interconnection moved smoothly. At the year-end true-up the system hit the mark—sized to match the household’s needs and even generating a small rebate for the year. The detail that stuck with her was that careful communication and precise system sizing produced a measurable payoff at true-up, not just smooth installation logistics.

Bill O. hired Sol R Us for a solar installation that included upgrading his home's electrical service to a 200‑amp panel. He found the whole process unusually smooth: Chris stayed on top of every step, answering quickly by phone, text, or email, and the crew treated the property with care. They handled the 200‑amp upgrade and even finished with attention to detail—painting pipes and other attachments so the work blended with the house's original paint. Pricing landed among the most competitive he shopped, but what stood out was Chris’s approach: no hard sales pitch, clear savings printouts, and the practical suggestion to upgrade the panel if they planned to add loads like an electric car. The team’s pride in their work showed throughout, and he’s already passed their name along to several friends in town.

Charles L. found the whole Sol R Us process impressive — from the initial estimate through final hookup on his residential solar system. He worked with Daniel, Chris, Jessica and the company’s in-house electricians and roofers, and they consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything met his expectations. The installation moved along smoothly and professionally, with the team handling each step and any details that came up. He walked away extremely happy with the quality of the equipment and the workmanship. What stood out most was Daniel’s hands-on customer service and attention to detail; that personal follow-through is what made the difference for him.
