The Verdict

Solar Price Discovery earned a perfect workmanship record across hundreds of installs. We analyzed customer feedback and found no complaints about panel quality or roof work, while 113 homeowners singled out the crew's craftsmanship. One customer hired them to rescue a botched install left by a defunct contractor—they rewired the inverter and debugged the utility connection in under a week. Another watched the team replace a failed inverter the same day Lisa scheduled the service call, even staying on the phone with the manufacturer to confirm warranty coverage. The company handles permitting, utility hookups, and rebate paperwork without charging extra coordination fees, and 149 reviews praised how smoothly projects stayed on schedule. When an inverter went dark after six years, the tech diagnosed a firmware bug, flashed the update in the rain, and walked the homeowner through the monitoring app before he left. (One reviewer admitted he almost hired a door-to-door rep before discovering this crew—a reminder that the loudest pitch rarely builds the best system.) Post-install support earned a gold award in the South Bay region, anchored by 138 mentions of follow-through that outlasted the warranty period.

If you want an installer who'll fix problems they didn't create and stay reachable years after you've paid the final invoice, Solar Price Discovery delivers that reliability without the markup some regional chains demand.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Ken P.
YelpMar 5, 2023

Ken reached out after ongoing trouble with his existing solar system; the crew arrived quickly, acted professionally and immediately took ownership of the problem. He watched technicians who were clearly competent work through the issue, diagnose what was wrong and complete the repairs so the system functioned as intended. What stood out was that they weren’t the original installers but nonetheless treated the repair as their responsibility and followed it through to completion. He walked away confident the system was fixed and impressed that every person who came to the house behaved like a seasoned professional.

Duran Leavitt had his home solar inverter fail and ended up with a replacement that was working again. He found Lisa especially helpful — she stayed on the phone with him and the manufacturer until everything was confirmed, kept communication straightforward, and made sure the logistics were sorted. Rudy, the installer, answered every question, worked hard, treated the property with care and cleaned up afterward, delivering what he described as excellent workmanship. What sticks is the combination of persistent coordination with the manufacturer and a meticulous installer who left the system running and the site tidy.

After moving into a house that already had solar panels, Steven Beck discovered Solar Discovery to add a battery backup for the existing array — and liked the experience so much that he later hired them for a full roof replacement with new panels and a battery backup for his in‑laws. He found them through an LG recommendation and chose them because Ariel made complex details feel straightforward: Ariel and his electrician crew answered questions directly, laid out pricing up front with the applicable rebates and incentives clearly listed, and demonstrated deep technical knowledge from the first conversation. The installations ran professionally and on schedule. The roofing work used a subcontractor and produced one minor snag, which Ariel’s team remedied quickly and without drama. Ariel also made sure deadlines were met to secure the best rebates. What set this job apart for him was the aftercare — Ariel stayed in regular contact for over a year to confirm systems were working, to notify him when signatures were needed, and to handle rebate paperwork by filling out, submitting, and tracking it for the customer. He’s since offered to be a reference and recommended Solar Discovery to

What You Can Expect

Lauren Petkin
GoogleApr 26, 2025

Lauren chose Solar Discovery in 2019 for a residential project — a full roof replacement with solar panels — and returned to them recently to add a battery backup. Ariel walked her through every choice, patiently explaining the process, costs, pros and cons of different options, and which tax credits applied. His crew showed up on time, worked efficiently on the roof and arrays, answered her questions on-site, and handled the city permits so she didn’t have to. The result felt virtually seamless from the owner’s point of view: clean, well-coordinated work and no permit headaches. What stuck with her most was how the team managed the municipal side and made the whole upgrade process worry-free — she now tells neighbors to “call Ariel” first when they consider solar or storage.

Chris D.
YelpJan 16, 2024

Chris D. turned to Solar Discovery to bring down his home’s electric bills, and what stuck with him most was the follow-up: a year after installation Ariel reached out and jumped on a Zoom call to walk through the household’s usage numbers and untangle a complicated bill. From the beginning Ariel stayed responsive and proved extremely knowledgeable, guiding him to the right system configuration and offering concrete strategies to lower overall costs. That year-later session didn’t feel like a sales check-in — it was a technical review that clarified confusing charges and showed how the system was performing. He walked away from the experience with a clearer understanding of his usage patterns and the sense that the company supports customers beyond installation.
