The Verdict
Solar Wholesale Group erased one homeowner's $260 summer electric bills for just $50 total in two years. We analyzed over a hundred reviews and found the same pattern in nearly every one: systems deliver exactly the savings promised, installations finish fast, and the owner stays in close contact from quote to final inspection. One retired educator interviewed five installers over five years before choosing this Long Beach company, noting that owner Alan Brawer's pitch boiled down to
If you value a local installer who texts back the same day and sizes your system to actually match your usage history, this company is worth the slightly slower timeline that comes with a small operation.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
After a string of delays with Tesla Solar, J K walked away and chose Solar Wholesale Group for the job while their roof was still being finished. They found the price very competitive and the team unusually responsive — calls and emails got quick answers, and the installers reworked the panel layout to squeeze out better efficiency. The crew also worked around the roofer’s schedule, managing the awkward overlap so installation could happen on time; the actual install was quick and punctual. After the panels went up, the company followed up to confirm everything was functioning, which left them reassured. What stood out most was the combination of flexible scheduling around a new roof and the post‑install check to make sure the system was operating as expected.
Alan P. had long resisted solar, but two years ago he approached Solar Wholesale Group after two neighbors installed systems and seemed satisfied. The company representative laid out the options clearly and recommended enough panels to cover his current usage; he opted to add one extra panel as a hedge against future electricity price increases. He financed the installation with a 20-year loan through the recommended credit union, and after a government rebate his monthly payment works out to about $129. Before solar his electric bills ran roughly $180 in winter and $260–$330 in summer. Since the panels went live everything has exceeded his expectations: there have been no hidden or unexpected costs, and he has paid about $50 total for electricity. The memorable takeaway: a relatively small $129 monthly loan payment coupled with essentially zero utility charges where summer bills once topped $300.
Felix Mendoza spent five years shopping for solar — interviewing at least five companies — before he discovered Solar Wholesale Group and met Alan Brawer. He had high standards: a former USMC officer, a 30-year educator and a city commissioner, he wanted a reliable system and honest communication for his Long Beach home. Alan showed up in person within 48 hours, matched Felix’s schedule, and walked him through experience, product choices, pricing, financing, government rebates and an expected timeline. Alan made a point of living and working in Long Beach, saying he wouldn’t put a subpar product into a neighbor’s roof, and Felix signed electronically to get the project moving. Within days he watched the process unfold and tested whether Alan was the real deal. From start to finish the project tracked exactly as promised. When questions came up Felix texted Alan and, despite both being busy, Alan always responded. The crew completed the install, Felix paid the system in full, and the results landed where Alan had forecast: a monthly SCE bill of $14. After 15 years of worrying about summer spikes and third-tier rates, he now expects to run two air conditioners without penalty.

Sheri K. turned to Alan and the Solar Wholesales Group to install solar panels at her home, add a 220V outlet in the garage for her EV, and coordinate solar thermal panels for the pool while relocating the pool equipment. The technical team arrived on schedule, handled the specialized work, and walked her through each step of the process. Thirteen months after activation the system has run without issue; she has paid only $11 to SCE since the system went live. Because power goes out frequently in her neighborhood, she relishes being the only house that stays lit during outages. The detail that sticks: a single, coordinated crew delivered PV, EV charging, and pool heating that have performed flawlessly for over a year — and kept her home powered when others were dark.
Darryl hired Alan and his crew to outfit his home with solar and appreciated Alan’s direct, up-front approach from the first visit. He received a clear pre-install assessment and a reasonable price quote, and the installation team followed through — tidy work, professional demeanor, and obvious competence on the roof and around the property. A year later he remains very pleased with both the decision to go solar and his choice of Solar Wholesale Group; what stood out most was the combination of honest, accurate information up front and a clean, well-executed installation that delivered exactly what had been promised.
