The Verdict
Solar Earth Choice runs the kind of installation where the project manager shows up every single day, not because there's a problem, but because that's how they operate. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship and only one about post-installation support. That track record held across permit coordination, HOA approvals, utility paperwork, and roof work. One reviewer watched their system decline in output before noticing it themselves. Sophia from Solar Earth Choice called first, scheduled a tech, and restored normal production at no charge. Another homeowner got Permission to Operate from Edison in two days after final inspection, a process that typically drags on for weeks. The company's distinguishing strength is end-to-end ownership. They don't just install panels. They chase down rebates, file permit paperwork, coordinate electricians and roofers, and monitor your system's output long after the crew leaves. Sixteen reviewers singled out the installation team by name for being tidy, fast, and willing to let curious homeowners climb onto the roof to see the work. The only quirk worth noting is that this is a small family operation, so if you need a faceless corporate service desk, look elsewhere.
If you want an installer who'll notice a dip in your system's output before you do and fix it without charging you, Solar Earth Choice is worth the premium over rock-bottom quotes.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Tom Ly chose them for a residential solar installation and encountered a professional crew that worked hard to finish the job quickly. He watched the team move through the final inspection and then, most notably, secure permission to operate from Edison just two days later. Having heard that other companies can take three to four weeks to get the same approval, he found that rapid PTO turnaround to be the standout feature of the experience — the detail that made the whole process feel noticeably smoother.
Carlos hired a family-run solar outfit to add panels to a recently renovated fixer-upper, and he wanted the array confined to the back of the house. The crew initially worried the roof vents might make that layout impossible, but they managed to avoid the street-facing roof and delivered an installation that looked exceptionally neat. He found everyone professional and attentive: Sophia stayed patient while they figured out what to buy, kept him updated as the install date approached, and coordinated deliveries to arrive within a specified time window. Ivan and the installation crew earned particular praise for workmanship. The system wasn’t the cheapest option, but the quality of the work convinced him it was worth it. What lingered most was that the team honored his rear-only request despite the roof challenges and turned out a tidy, well-coordinated job.
Jeffery had been paying more than $300 a month to run a suburban home with a pool, an all‑electric spa, and two three‑ton air conditioners, so he began researching solar companies and quickly grew frustrated by a lack of transparency. He learned from a church friend who worked as a solar broker that Solar Earth Choice was worth a look, and although he worried that the company’s reasonable per‑watt price might mean corners were being cut, he agreed to move forward. What followed exceeded expectations. He found the team straightforward and transparent at every stage, and their communication stood out: from sales through the July 2017 completion and continuing afterward he almost always received near‑immediate replies to questions sent by text. The installation itself looked neat and professional — craftsmen who were prompt and courteous, top‑tier panels and connection equipment, and a quality‑control manager on site coordinating the workflow so the job stayed orderly. The most memorable detail came after the install: Solar Earth Choice continually monitors his array. Even though he tracks production with an app, the company’s monitoring team spotted a dip in kilowatt output first

Agnes met Sophia and Ben from Solar Earth Choice at a presentation and liked them enough to hire them without interviewing other companies. She chose them for their deep knowledge — not just about panels but about permits, HOA approvals and the LADWP rebate — and Sophia handled the paperwork quickly so approvals moved fast. The system has been monitored continuously for almost two years; Sophia still calls right away when a Wi‑Fi hiccup interrupts the connection. The payoff has been dramatic: about 90% savings on electricity and most months she pays nothing. What stands out most is the ongoing attention after installation — prompt, hands‑on monitoring that keeps the system running and the bills near zero.
