SolarLink Energy Construction reviews

The Verdict
SolarLink Energy Construction handles permits and city approvals so you don't have to. One homeowner who abandoned Tesla's DIY approach said SolarLink delivered the hands-free process they promised, even fixing a monitoring app setup error within a day. We found zero complaints about workmanship across nearly a hundred reviews, and 43 reviewers specifically praised how smoothly the project unfolded from contract to final inspection. The main gap is timeline visibility. Multiple customers noted they didn't get a detailed schedule upfront showing when inspections, payments, and Permission To Operate would happen, which led to awkward payment renegotiations while waiting on the utility. If you're willing to ask for that timeline yourself, you'll get a contractor who'll chase down permits while you sit back. (One crew even patched drywall around a panel box they could've left open.)
If you want the utility paperwork off your plate and a crew that won't cut corners on roof details, SolarLink is a smart pick. Just ask for a granular timeline before you sign, since they don't provide one by default.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Bhabaa hired the company for a home solar installation and found the crew professional and courteous. They watched the team work smoothly together and finish the job when promised. The installers listened to their concerns and followed the specific request for how the conduit should come down the side of the house. They walked away very pleased — the memorable detail was that the crew adjusted the conduit routing to the homeowner’s exact preference.
Randy updated his original five‑star review after needing warranty work on his system. He called SolarLink; Rick quickly arranged for a technician to come out, kept him well informed during the process, and the issue was resolved. The part that stood out was the follow-through — the company didn’t disappear after installation but stood by their work and completed the promised repairs. The quick coordination from Rick and the clear, prompt communication are the details that stuck with him.
Marcus reached out to SolarLink because he needed a completely hands-free solar install — he didn’t have time to handle city-council or HOA paperwork himself after a frustrating attempt with Tesla that left him doing most of the email chasing. He found that SolarLink delivered on that promise: Kyle and the team managed the project through to Permission to Operate from PG&E, staying unusually responsive (sometimes answering late at night) and stepping in quickly when a setup error routed the Enphase and Tesla monitoring to the wrong email. SolarLink identified and fixed that monitoring mix-up within a day, a turnaround Marcus felt was noticeably faster than other installers his friends had used. The only real snag for him was the lack of a finely detailed timeline up front — he would have liked clearer milestones for vendor lien notices, payments, inspections and PTO, and preferred split payment options since he paid cash and had to renegotiate while waiting on final approval. Overall, he walked away impressed by the hands-off experience and especially remembers Kyle answering off-hours messages and resolving the email/configuration problem overnight.

What You Can Expect
Douglas Ridgway approached Solar Link braced for hard-sell tactics and ended up completely satisfied. He discovered they never pushed extras and delivered the most competitive quote he received. The team stayed responsive and punctual from the first meeting through final installation, and they handled all county permitting and approvals so he didn’t have to chase paperwork. Operations and installers showed consistent professionalism and attention to detail. The detail that sticks: Michelle Mcuen and Paul Smith were the main contacts who kept things moving and accountable throughout the process.
Gurav chose Solar Link for a home solar and battery project and quickly found the team kept him informed about every next step. They handled the messy parts — coordinating HOA sign-off and county permits — so he didn’t have to chase approvals. On install day the crew arrived on time, talked him through panel and battery placement, and adjusted the layout until he was satisfied. He ended up with approved permits, equipment placed where he wanted it, and a clear line of communication throughout — the company’s permit work and hands-on installation checks were the most memorable parts of the experience.
Amit Kumta chose SolarLink through Axia to add solar to his townhome and found the company handled the whole project end-to-end. He discovered they took care of the HOA approval process, supplying every document needed so the permitting hurdle never became his problem. When Jerry and his crew arrived for the install, they worked carefully and methodically — the attention to detail stood out. He ended up with a completed system and all approvals in order; the memorable detail was SolarLink’s willingness to manage the tricky HOA paperwork combined with a meticulous installation crew led by Jerry, exactly the kind of support a townhome owner needs.
