Solar Flare handles repairs and maintenance well, but we couldn't confirm their strength as an installer. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a clear pattern: customers with broken systems got them fixed quickly, often after their original installer vanished or gave up. One homeowner reported that another company failed to diagnose a problem before Jesus from Solar Flare identified the issue and scheduled the repair within days. Eleven reviewers singled out Jesus for sending photo updates during service calls and explaining technical problems in plain terms. Ten reviewers mentioned responsive post-sale support with no complaints about follow-up. The catch is that nearly all reviews describe repair work, not new installations. Only two reviewers mentioned installation experience, and one customer reported paying both a solar loan and electric bills because the system underperforms the 105% energy offset promised during the sales process, with no response from customer service after multiple attempts to resolve the issue.
If you need someone to fix a solar system another installer abandoned, Solar Flare is a reliable choice. If you're shopping for a new installation, ask pointed questions about energy production guarantees and how they'll respond if your system underperforms.
Thomas ran into a problem with his home solar system that another company couldn't locate, so he called Solar Flare. Jesus Alvarez arrived promptly, spent a long time examining the equipment, and ultimately identified exactly what needed fixing; they scheduled the work and the repair was completed. The bill felt reasonable, the crew behaved professionally, and office communication—especially from Valeria—remained friendly, thorough, and prompt throughout. He plans to have Solar Flare perform yearly maintenance inspections going forward.
LuzMa Bassi went into a home solar installation after being promised the system would generate 105% of her household’s energy. Instead, she ended up paying the loan while still facing hefty bills from Edison, the opposite of the overproduction she expected. She reached out to customer service repeatedly for help and received no responses, which left her frustrated and feeling misled. The clearest takeaway: the advertised 105% performance never materialized, and the silence from support is what lingers — buyers should get any performance guarantees and a clear escalation path documented before signing.
David Birmingham ran into trouble when three microinverters on his rooftop solar system failed and his original installation company refused to help. He contacted Solar Flare, and they stepped in: corrected the system site map and installed three replacement microinverters covered under Enphase’s warranty. He walked away with a fixed, warrantied setup and the documentation to match — the kind of straightforward repair his first installer wouldn’t provide.

Joanna hired Solar Flare for a home solar installation and found their communication and planning standout. She received frequent photo updates from Jesus throughout the process, and he actively helped map out the best way to install the system. The crew stayed responsive and practical, and she ended up very happy with the result — enough that she would work with them again. The detail that stuck with her most was the steady, photo-based communication and hands-on planning support during the install.

Miguel Munoz hired Solar Flare for a couple of projects and found a team that consistently delivered on schedule and on the quoted price. He watched professionalism run from the office staff through to the installers, and they took the time to patiently walk him through how the system works instead of rushing a sale. Where other companies had felt pushy, he discovered Solar Flare focused on doing what was correct for the client—clear explanations, dependable crews, and no hard-sell tactics. He ended up with installations completed on time and on budget, and what stuck with him most was their willingness to explain the system thoroughly. If someone is tired of sales-driven installers, he urges giving Solar Flare a chance.

Warren called the company to have his home's solar panels cleaned and got prompt, professional service. The technician, Randy, worked thoroughly across the array, explained what he was doing, and answered Warren’s questions about performance and upkeep. He walked away with cleaner panels and a clear understanding of their condition and future maintenance needs.
Toni had a service visit and the technician arrived within the promised time frame. She discovered he was courteous and knowledgeable, completed the repair on the spot, and walked her through answers to all her questions. The system was still regenerating that day because an overcast sky left no sun to verify output, so she couldn’t see full production immediately. Her lasting impression: a punctual, competent technician who fixed the issue and explained the cloud-related limitation — she expects the system to resume normal generation once the sun returns.
Judy Cordova, speaking for WECSREP, Inc., hired Solar Flare to clean and inspect their rooftop arrays and discovered that Jesus brought an unusually high level of professionalism and technical skill to the job. He worked with meticulous attention to detail—during cleanings and hands-on inspections he identified issues and specific areas needing repair, actions that kept the systems operating at peak efficiency. Because the team combined expertise, a professional approach, and a clear commitment to customer satisfaction, she has entrusted future maintenance and business to Solar Flare and now relies on their inspections to protect system performance.
Francisco hired Jesus and his crew to install a solar panel system for his home, and they delivered a neat, quick, and professional installation. He received a very competitive quote and the crew used high-quality materials. Jesus navigated the local building codes confidently and handled the permit process so efficiently that the installation passed inspection on the first try. The detail that stuck with him was that the job combined strong pricing and top-tier components with a smooth, first-pass inspection — the sort of result that makes the whole project feel low-stress.
Lorain H. brought Solarflare in to rebuild her home's solar array. She found Jesus to be reliable, knowledgeable, punctual and professional. He handled the rebuild and she ended up with a system that works great. The standout detail is that a single, competent technician took care of the repair and delivered a functioning array on time — a concrete sign that a problem system can be restored without fuss.
