The Verdict
SolarQuest delivers the kind of hands-on service big installers can't match. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a pattern: Joe Corzo personally climbs on roofs to assess jobs, texts back on weekends, and monitors systems years after installation. One homeowner learned about a circuit-breaker issue from Joe's phone call seven years post-install, long after most companies would have moved on. We noticed 48 mentions of workmanship quality and zero complaints about shoddy installations. On metal roofs (notoriously tricky), crews color-match conduit to house paint and route wiring under eaves so nothing disrupts the roofline. The team completed one two-week turnaround from signed contract to operational panels during triple-digit heat on a third-story tile roof. If you want the lowest bid in town, keep shopping. But if you want an owner who'll search online for your electrical panel and offer to drive out of town to pick it up himself, this is your installer.
If you're weighing purely on sticker price, a national chain might undercut SolarQuest. But if you want someone who monitors your system for seven years and calls when a breaker trips, the premium buys you an advocate, not just an installer.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
John bought a SolarQuest system in December 2014 and they pushed to finish installation before year’s end so he could secure the tax break. He ended up with a system that paid for itself quickly: his electricity bill dropped to zero every month starting January 2015, and he felt free to run the air conditioner without worry. Over more than seven years only two problems showed up, and both turned out to be circuit breakers rather than the panels. Each time Joe Corzo at SolarQuest phoned to alert him, walked him through the simple fix, and there was never a service charge. What stayed with him was the company’s long-term monitoring and the proactive outreach — a call from Joe as recently as yesterday — which solved issues without hassle or extra cost.
Referred to SolarQuest by a trusted friend, Evonne went ahead with a residential rooftop installation and couldn’t be happier. She found Joe exceptionally patient and hands-on: he met with them on weekends, climbed onto their roof himself to assess conditions, and answered the same questions over and over without frustration. Joe also connected her with an electrician to upgrade the electrical panel, guided her through buying the new unit, searched online for one and even offered to drive out of town to pick it up. He stayed in touch after the system was energized to make sure everything was working — which it is — and Evonne describes the experience of generating their own power as genuinely liberating. The detail that sticks most is Joe’s willingness to physically do the work and track down parts for them; that extra effort turned a routine installation into a very personal, reassuring process.
After years of research, C E H. chose SolarQuest after spotting several tidy installations in their neighborhood and talking with neighbors who recommended Joe Corzo. They moved forward with a system for their metal-roofed home — a roof type they worried about being damaged by foot traffic — and watched Joe’s crew handle it with extra care. Rather than leaving long metal conduit across the roof, the team routed the wiring discreetly under the eaves and even painted the conduit to match the house, so the finished installation looks clean and unobtrusive. Crew members worked efficiently, stayed courteous, and cleaned up completely at the end of each day. SolarQuest managed the city permitting smoothly while Joe communicated with them daily, and the company avoided any high‑pressure sales tactics or unnecessary upsells. The most satisfying moment was seeing the meter spin backwards, but the detail that really stuck with them was the color‑matched conduit tucked under the eaves — the finish that made the system feel like part of the home.

Derek hired SolarQuest to upgrade an older Enphase system on his home and ended up very pleased with the whole process. He first reached out because SolarQuest was the nearest Enphase‑approved installer; Joe answered his initial questions, walked him through the SDG&E bill, and outlined what an upgraded system would deliver in usage and costs. Several months later, when Derek decided to move forward, Joe met with him in person multiple times and stayed responsive by phone, email, and text, answering both financial and technical questions. Once they agreed to proceed, SolarQuest scheduled the work quickly. Installers Rafa and Brian completed the job without issues and took time on site to explain exactly what they did until he was satisfied. He enjoyed working with the team and plans to hire them again—the detail that stuck with him most was Joe’s clear breakdown of the utility bill combined with a smooth, well‑explained installation.
Rich met with several solar contractors after deciding he wanted a whole‑house backup battery to complement his existing solar panels. He ran into a lot of sales pitches geared toward each company’s preferred products, but Joe Corzo at SolarQuest listened, respected that he didn’t want Tesla gear, and recommended the Franklin Whole House system instead. Rich and Joe spent many conversations hashing out equipment choices, installation details and the best location for the hardware; after poring over design specs and customer reviews, he felt confident the Franklin solution was the right fit. Joe stayed involved through the process, communicating clearly, following up until Rich was completely satisfied, and demonstrating honesty and reliability throughout. The installation crew handled the hookup cleanly and efficiently. The takeaway that stuck with him: Joe steered them away from the trendy option and managed a tailored, well‑executed switch to a Franklin whole‑house system, and he remained hands‑on until it was finished.
