Solar Technologies reviews

The Verdict
Solar Technologies gets the fundamentals right. We analyzed reviews spanning nearly a decade and found a company that delivers SunPower installs without drama, hits promised production numbers, and fields a team that actually answers the phone. One homeowner routed all wiring through the attic to avoid visible conduit on the roof, a cosmetic request Solar Technologies accommodated after inspecting the space. Another saw their year-one true-up come in at negative $26, matching the installer's 101% production estimate perfectly. The workmanship holds up. We found 205 mentions of clean, professional installations with only 13 complaints, and 129 reviewers cited competitive pricing without caveats. Project management runs smooth: 215 reviews mention timely coordination, clear milestone communication, and crews that adapt to weather delays or last-minute layout changes. The weak spot is post-sale support. While 146 reviewers praised responsive follow-up, 25 describe slow warranty claims, unresolved panel failures, and techs who vanish after acquisition transitions. One customer waited eight months for LG warranty replacements that Solar Technologies never chased down. If your system works flawlessly, you'll never notice. If it doesn't, you may be making a lot of phone calls.
If you want a SunPower install done cleanly the first time and you're comfortable handling your own warranty claims if panels fail years later, Solar Technologies is a solid choice. Just don't count on them to chase down manufacturers on your behalf.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Andrew D. had a brand-new rooftop system installed around 2016 by SkyPower Solar, a company later acquired and now marketed as A Solar Technologies Company. When roughly nine LG panels started failing in spring/summer 2024, he called the acquirer for service and discovered they refused to honor the original SkyPower warranty and charged him about $800 just to troubleshoot. Technicians identified the failing LG modules and said LG’s warranty should cover replacements; LG still had inventory at that point and offered either direct replacement panels or a credit toward alternatives. Over several months, Solar Technologies’ poor follow-through with LG let the stock run out and left only the credit option, which LG indicated had been or would be issued to the distributor. After repeated follow-ups by Andrew, no credit ever appeared and he hasn’t heard back from the company; nearly eight months after his first call the solar array remains broken even though it was under warranty when he first reached out. The most striking detail: he paid for troubleshooting up front and ended up months later with the same broken, warrantied array and no resolution.
David vetted three installers and picked Solar Technologies for a rooftop SunPower system—not because they were cheapest, but because their reputation, the sales meeting, and the product line stood out. A year after installation, the most convincing result showed up: their 101% first-year production estimate hit the mark, and his PG&E true-up came back negative $26, meaning the system actually produced slightly more energy than the household used. From the start the sales conversation focused on what made the company different rather than knocking competitors. He and the team spent time mapping panel placement and the new junction box; David pressed for a tidy look and asked that conduit and boxes be hidden so the roof would show only panels. The crew agreed to route wiring through the attic and tuck converters under the arrays after inspecting the space, and they patiently supplied the data he requested as the design was finalized. Work began on a rainy day with two workers handling prep that could be done inside, which mattered because he was working from home and needed minimal disruption. When the weather cleared a larger crew arrived and placed the panels within hours; one
After a full year running a 16-panel SunPower system on his large house with two air conditioners and a pool, Charles discovered the installation delivered better-than-expected results. He had waited a year to judge not just the sales and installation process but the internet monitoring, system reliability and actual savings — and found zero issues since startup and almost 8% more electricity production than the original forecast. Solar Technologies had warned their modeling was conservative and that SunPower panels could yield 5–6% more energy; the system exceeded even that. He chose Solar Technologies after comparing competitive quotes, receiving a referral from an energy professional, and working with consultant Nick Bahrenburg, who provided clear technical explanations, sophisticated modeling and patient follow-up in the week or two before he committed. The installation team behaved professionally, getting his approval on equipment and wire placement, painting conduit to match the house and cleaning the site daily. He now uses the web-based monitoring on his PC, iPad and iPhone to pull hourly-to-monthly production charts at a glance. Because Nick sized the array to target theגב

Olga Koumrian signed up for a Bay Area solar program and watched the company finish the system design in about three months. She expected approvals to take another four to six months, but then the project went silent — more than a year of unanswered emails and receptionist calls that produced no useful updates. Out of the blue she received an installation date almost two years after signing. The panels are now producing power, but the drawn-out, opaque process left her unable to recommend the company. Her takeaway: the equipment works, but be prepared for long stretches with no communication followed by a sudden installation notice.
Marjorie P. contracted for a five-figure solar system in July 2022, expecting crews to install in January 2023, but the project stretched out painfully long. She waited through months of little communication, then watched a friendly, efficient crew install the panels in April 2023 only to be told the final step was an electrical-panel upgrade. What followed felt like a nine-month holding pattern: conflicting information from different staff, sparse updates, and the discovery that the site the crew preferred (on the side of the house) would require an expensive, unattractive property modification to win PG&E approval, while the company’s alternative was to mount a large inverter box on the front of the house beside the door. Nobody had warned that the panel upgrade and permitting could be tricky, costly, or drag out for months. After the upgrade finally happened and the company said the system was good to go, a surprise arrived the next month — a very high PG&E bill and the revelation that PG&E had no record of the installation because the project permit had expired during the delays. She’s now 1.5 years into the contract, has spent five figures, and still lacks a clean resolution.
