The Verdict
Solar Santa Rosa delivers what most installers only promise: a fast, transparent process and a system that actually cuts your bill. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a consistent pattern. One homeowner went from $600 monthly to $100 after installing 30 panels and two Powerwall 3 batteries. Another saw their electric bill drop to under $15 for the month. Across the board, customers praised Rami and his team for explaining options clearly without pressure, then finishing installs in under two months. (One reviewer noted friends waiting a year and a half with Tesla, which makes Rami's timeline look like a sprint.) What sets this company apart is follow-through. Rami monitors systems after activation, calls Tesla directly when batteries glitch, and reviews your bill post-install to ensure you're maximizing savings. He even helped a van-conversion DIYer source cables and adapters for free, treating a tiny job with the same care as a 30-panel install.
If you want an installer who'll personally troubleshoot your Powerwall issue and teach you how to read your new electric bill, Solar Santa Rosa is worth the call. You won't get the lowest quote in town, but you will get someone who answers texts faster than your contractor ever did.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
KC 73 hired Santa Rosa Solar to outfit their home with rooftop panels and found the whole process surprisingly fast: permits pulled and the installation completed in under two months. They discovered a friendly, accommodating crew that avoided pushy sales tactics, took time to answer questions, and helped them feel confident about the switch to solar. The work itself looked professional, and they started seeing lower utility bills soon after the system went live. What made the experience stand out was the speed — a permit-to-finish timeline well under two months, which KC 73 contrasts sharply with friends who waited up to a year and a half for Tesla installations.
Stephen hired Rami and his crew to outfit his winery and home with a sizable solar system a year ago and deliberately waited twelve months to see the real savings. Over that time his monthly electric bill dropped from about $600 to roughly $100. The installation includes 30 panels and two Powerwall 3 batteries; the batteries routinely finish charging by 1pm and then keep the entire winery and house running off-grid through the night. The install itself was quick and the team behaved professionally. The detail that sticks with him is the system’s reliability — early-afternoon full batteries that carry the whole property overnight, drastically cutting his grid dependence.
Janine Olsen began her project in Terra Linda by checking online reviews and the Better Business Bureau, then met with Rami Sahar to talk through solar technology, configuration options, and the paperwork and insurance help his team would provide. Together they laid out a plan tailored to exactly what she wanted. Worried about putting panels on a thirty-year-old roof, she followed Rami’s roofer recommendation rather than forcing a premature installation. He moved faster on questions and updates than anyone she had worked with before, keeping communication immediate from design through permitting and installation. After the system went live he monitored its performance, and when the Tesla Powerwalls ran into a problem he called Tesla himself and came to her home to work alongside their technicians until the issue was fully resolved. He also shepherded the filings with PG&E and handled the insurance paperwork so nothing stalled. What stood out was Rami’s hands-on, rapid follow-through — he stayed on the job until the Powerwalls were working and every piece of paperwork was sorted.

What You Can Expect
Raymond was converting a van and, after finding the company on Google, needed two 10-foot cables and a couple of special adapters to finish the vehicle’s solar setup. They stepped in, walked him through the parts he needed, and treated him like a big client even though his purchase was small. Because of their help and the correct adapter, his van’s solar system was up and running within an hour and nearly fully charged. He relies on solar power in the van, so without that adapter the project would have stalled — getting that one part turned a stalled conversion into a functioning system. He appreciated their hands-on attention; the memorable detail is that they prioritized the job itself over the size of the sale, which is exactly the kind of support someone doing a van conversion needs.

Tan Pham, who lives in Walnut Creek, hired an installer to service his parents’ solar array in Santa Rosa. The installer walked him through what needed to be done over a video conference, then returned with a crew that washed all 70 panels and installed a new inverter promptly and for a reasonable price. He appreciated how diligent the team was with follow-up and that they helped set up the monitoring app so his parents can track system performance. The detail that sticks: coordinated remote communication plus the app left him able to oversee a fully serviced 70-panel system from across the Bay.
