Solar Electric Pros handles straightforward electrical work well but shows serious gaps on solar installations. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a stark split: their general electrical service (range hookups, emergency repairs, conduit work) earned consistent praise for quick response times and fair pricing, with one homeowner calling Dan out on a Saturday evening when a tenant lost power and getting same-day service. But the solar side tells a different story. One installation left conduit running outside walls on a solar-ready home despite the customer pointing out neighboring houses had clean internal runs, and when the homeowner refused to pay the next installment until the cosmetic damage was fixed, the owner threatened a lien. Another buyer inherited a system from 2017 that started leaking in 2021, and the company refused to pull panels even when the homeowner offered to pay for removal. We did find six glowing solar reviews praising one-day installs and meticulous inverter setup, but two detailed accounts of refused callbacks and missing promised features (panel-level monitoring, rebate paperwork) outweigh the positives when the stakes are a 25-year roof commitment.
If you need a responsive electrician for outlet work or panel upgrades, Solar Electric Pros delivers fast, affordable service. But if you're comparing solar installers, the pattern of unresolved roof leaks and refusal to remedy workmanship issues makes this a risky pick for a long-term investment.
S signed up with Solar Electric Pro (Dan) for about a 4.5 kW system on a new, single-family home in a recently built community after liking Dan’s pitch and quote. They had told him up front the house was built “solar-ready” with conduits in place, but one afternoon S came home to find wiring run on the outside of the walls and new holes cut into the roof. Dan claimed there were no conduits; after walking the neighborhood S discovered neighboring homes did not have exterior wiring, so the crew should have used the existing conduits. By then the crew had already made large openings and placed other hardware awkwardly, leaving exposed pipes and visible damage that forced some rework but could not hide the poor placement. When S refused to accept a panel delivery or pay the roughly $8,000 balance called for by the contract until the issues were fixed, Dan escalated by threatening to put a lien on the house. Dan had also promised the ability to monitor production by individual panels and to handle the PG&E rebate paperwork—neither feature materialized. S alerted a neighbor, who turned out to have a similarly messy installation and frustration. After repeated attempts to resolve the work
Scott Kramer bought a house that already had a 21-panel solar system installed in 2017. When a roof leak showed up in 2021, he asked Solar Electric Pros to inspect the damage and, if necessary, remove the panels — he even offered to pay them to take the array off — but the company refused to come out or remove the panels. He then discovered the business address listed on their website was out of date; the company had moved. Left without the installer's support, he learned to double-check a solar company's ability to provide post-install service and to confirm that online contact details are current.
Ryan found Solar Electric Pros on Craigslist and ended up with a 40-panel rooftop system — 40 SolarEdge microinverters and two inverters — plus live monitoring after Dan, the owner, walked him through setting up the SolarEdge online portal so he can watch production in real time. The crew showed up early each morning and completed the entire install in three days, taking care to get every connection and detail right. Having hired more than 20 contractors over the years, he recognized Dan and his team as unusually competent, unwilling to take shortcuts, and genuinely trustworthy. They also stayed on budget, which made him comfortable leaving his house in their hands during the work. The detail that stuck with him most: Dan personally set up the live monitoring portal — he still checks it to see how the system performs.

Carol R. found herself juggling a hospital bedside and a tenant’s blackout on a Saturday evening while her partner lay critically ill in the ICU — not COVID. She tracked down the only nearby 24-hour electrician available and entrusted the emergency to Dan. He proved exceptionally straightforward and honest, stayed flexible with timing so she could return to the hospital, and completed the repairs perfectly in record time, even while she was away. He also answered his own phone — no voicemail maze — so communication stayed direct and fast. She walked away relieved and willing to pay for the prompt, capable service that let her focus on family while the outage got handled.
Bobby L. needed electrical cables and conduit rerouted above newly cut doorways in his commercial space and discovered Dan could take the job right away. Dan offered a free, very reasonable quote—well under what Angi's list suggested—and booked the crew for the very next morning, while other companies wanted days to weeks or charged just to provide an estimate. On the job day Dan arrived early, jumped straight into the work, and finished everything for the exact quoted price. He also handled a few extra small tasks without adding to the bill, communicated promptly by email and phone, and patiently answered every question with a friendly demeanor. The combination of a quick start, honest pricing, and those unbilled extras is what stood out most; he plans to call Dan first for any future electrical needs.
Chris hired the company to install solar panels on his home and discovered a crew that combined punctuality with polished professionalism. Dan walked him through every step, breaking down the timeline and choices so the whole process felt straightforward. The team pushed hard to finish the job before the holidays, going above and beyond to meet that deadline. He recommended them to family and friends — what stood out was the clear communication from Dan and the successful pre-holiday rush to completion.
Pam Hatten discovered that Dan H.'s uncommon background in power and grounding let him dig into electrical issues on her solar system that other techs couldn't resolve. She watched him methodically chase the fault — persistent troubleshooting until he either fixed it or located the right specialist, and in her case he brought in a direct SunPower technician to finish the repair. He clearly enjoyed the work, taking pleasure in tracking down stubborn problems rather than patching over symptoms. Because of that depth and follow-through, she ended up with a properly repaired system and confidence that complex electrical problems would be handled. The detail that stuck with her: he will hunt down the root cause and even bring in the exact SunPower expert needed rather than walk away from a tough job.
April Hoppis chose a 5 kW SolarEdge system for her home from Solar Electric Pros and ended up with a neat, efficient installation. Dan and his crew arrived professional, kept the worksite clean, and completed all the equipment work in a single day; the panels and electrical components were left looking well-installed. After comparing several providers, she discovered Solar Electric Pros had the best price. The detail that stuck with her was the combination of a same-day, tidy install and the low cost—what she highlights when friends ask about going solar.

Dan installed a 34-panel rooftop system, set up the inverter, and upgraded the home's electrical panel so it could handle the extra power. He took care of all the drawings and permitting, guided the homeowner through each step, and earned an inspector’s sign-off on the very first visit. Chosen for fair pricing and flexible payment terms, he delivered the system without cutting corners, and the owner ended up saving thousands. The standout detail: the smooth permitting process and first-visit approval made it clear the job was properly planned and executed.
