Solar Revolution reviews

After installation Susan C. discovered a nail poking through her patio cover where a joist had been missed; Solar Revolution was onsite within 48 hours to remove the nail, repair the cover and make sure she was satisfied. That quick, no-fuss follow-up became the defining moment of a process she had chosen carefully — she had researched every company she could find and picked Solar Revolution because they paired highly rated equipment with strong warranties and dependable customer service. She connected well with their rep Peter and appreciated the professionalism of the installation crews. As a Realtor she gets asked about solar all the time and has steered more than ten clients, plus a coworker and friends, to Solar Revolution; each of those people has gone with them and then sent others their way. More than three years later she still creates her own power on a system she owns, and the prompt repair and long-term reliability are the details that stick with her.

Svetlana chose Solar Revolution to install and maintain a residential solar system after facing roughly $300 monthly PG&E bills. She found the process refreshingly straightforward: no long sales pitch, a quote that undercut a competitor by several thousand dollars, and the crew finished installation in about half a day. Two years in, the system cut her monthly bill to roughly $10–$40 depending on how much they conserve. Solar Revolution also set up monitoring and still calls occasionally to check performance, so the installation felt like both a quick upgrade and an ongoing service relationship — the combination of fast installation, clear savings, and regular check-ins is what stuck with her.

Justin invested in a rooftop solar system to stop paying PG&E and discovered his inverter failed twice, each outage driving up his utility bills by thousands. He ended up being charged for labor because the company insisted those repair costs weren’t covered, even though their sales materials had presented a warranty that appeared to promise otherwise. When he called for warranty service, the company avoided his calls and refused to make it right, leaving the system offline and the bills mounting. The most striking detail: labor for warranty repairs was billed to the customer despite prior warranty assurances. For anyone considering this installer, the lingering takeaway is to get explicit, written confirmation about whether a warranty covers both parts and labor and how quickly they will respond—Justin’s outages turned a supposed savings plan into repeated PG&E charges.

Olivier had Solar Revolution install a solar array on his house in EDH. He now produces more electricity than the household consumes — even with an electric vehicle charging — so the system regularly creates a surplus. Scott and his team handled the installation and did a great job. The detail that sticks: the panels produce enough to cover both the home and the EV.

Shah Atebar is in the middle of installing a solar system on his new home and chose Solar Revolution again after the array they put on his previous house ran flawlessly. He met the owner, Scott, and found him upfront and transparent from the outset. After checking quotes from four other companies, he found Scott’s bid to be the best-priced option. He values having a local crew do the work and still urges others to do their research, but his bottom line was concrete: a trouble-free prior installation, clear communication from the owner, and competitive pricing sealed the decision for his new home.

Greg had a working residential solar system installed, but the smooth sale quickly unraveled into a 1.5‑year headache over installation details. He discovered Solar Revolution ignored the plans that had been submitted and approved by his HOA, leaving conduit and equipment exposed in clear violation of the rules. Rather than fixing their work, the company proved largely unresponsive and unwilling to accept responsibility, so he ended up spending additional time and money to correct the mistakes and bring the property back into compliance. What began as a straightforward installation turned into a drawn‑out ordeal, and the image that stuck with him was the exposed conduit and the company’s silence when asked to make it right.

Tod C chose Solar Revolution to install a 24-panel rooftop system using G10+ panels paired with iQ8 microinverters. Scott Woods, the owner, arrived promptly to give a quote and answer questions; Tod signed the contract and put down a deposit about a month later. Roughly a month after that the parts showed up at his house and the crew began work the same day. By the middle of the second day all 24 panels were mounted, the microinverters hooked up, and the system was powered on. The array is producing in line with the estimate and Tod no longer receives an electricity bill — the standout here was the owner’s hands-on responsiveness and the very fast, two-day turnaround from parts delivery to a live system.

Al T. shopped three bids in September 2021 and chose Solar Revolution for a full-home install. He worked directly with owner Scott Woods, who handled the process smoothly and whose crew did high-quality work. When a roof tile got broken during the install, Scott stepped in and replaced it without being asked, which underscored how he stands behind his product and craft. Scott originally sized the system at 18 panels, but Al opted for 22—deciding to err on the side of extra capacity—and hasn’t regretted that choice. Since the array went live Al hasn’t paid an electricity bill, and six weeks after buying a RAV4 plug‑in hybrid he has driven on sunlight alone, using no gas. The clearest takeaway: the oversized 22-panel system has been enough to run the house and cover a 40+ mile daily commute entirely from solar.

C L. moved in with her grandmother in February 2024 to help care for her and immediately noticed water stains and sagging on the ceiling beneath a solar array that had been installed in 2019. She brought multiple roofers in; each determined the leak stemmed from an improper solar installation. When she contacted the solar company, it refused responsibility and demanded proof. She paid out of pocket to pull down the damaged drywall and found a drill hole in the roof decking and caulking where the installer had attempted to “fix their mistake.” After sending those photos, the company finally showed up toward the end of summer and a crew patched the ceiling with an obviously amateurish repair. The worker promised to return or send someone more qualified, but by November no one had come back. Now the same spot is leaking again and the new water damage covers roughly twice the original area. She has received no response and has not been reimbursed for any expenses — months after reporting the problem she still faces worsening ceiling damage and the cost of repairs.
