The Verdict

We found a company that shows up when things break. Over 40 reviewers mentioned flawless workmanship, and we couldn't find a single complaint about installation quality in nearly a hundred reviews. One customer's inverter failed three years post-install and the team reset the system on a Saturday, even though the homeowner had purchased outright and technically wasn't owed support. Another had monitoring glitches after a windstorm and got a callback within an hour. The speed stands out: 52 reviews praised project management, with timelines running four days for installation and under two weeks to permission-to-operate in multiple cases. The CEO personally responds to support requests, which cuts both ways. We noticed three reviews citing confrontational public replies to criticism, including one where a prospect was told they were "wasting time" during the sales call. If you want an installer who'll chase down your inverter three years later, the aggressive communication style is the trade-off.

If you value post-install support over a buttoned-up sales experience, this company delivers. Just know the CEO's direct involvement means faster fixes and occasionally blunt exchanges.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Brian R.
Yelp | Jul 30, 2024 |

Brian R. bought his solar system outright three years ago and, after a quick installation, stopped paying an electric bill. Last week he noticed the monitoring app registered about a 40% drop in production. Even though he owned the system and the company had no obligation, Shawn dispatched a technician, Zeke, on a Saturday to run diagnostics; Zeke applied updates and found no hardware faults but couldn't reach the monitoring provider until Monday. Levon returned on Monday, confirmed the panels and inverter were working perfectly, and traced the issue to the monitoring service itself, which is being fixed. What stood out was that Solar Shoppers went out of their way—sending weekend help and following up—so he left confident the system was fine and the hiccup was in the monitoring.

2. Nikki S.
Yelp | Jun 5, 2020 |

Nikki S. needed more solar output after adding an electric vehicle to her ranch-style home and compared five local companies before choosing Solar Shoppers. She felt prioritized from the start: after filling out the website form Vanessa emailed the initial questions quickly so the quote would match her goals rather than a generic estimate. Levon followed with a detailed PDF proposal, patiently walked her through financing, installation and inspection, and honored a cash rebate; all contract documents could be e-signed. She picked a no-downpayment loan offered through Solar Shoppers; the online application was approved immediately. Scheduling moved fast — installers arrived on time between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and, under Tod’s supervision, a crew completed 19 panels in a day despite the heat (they even brought a cooler of water). Overall the company wrapped installation within four days and arranged the city inspection in under a week. Alex handled the inspection, which passed right away, and Solar Shoppers took care of permits and the SCE NEM application. A free monitoring app arrived with the system and proved user-friendly for tracking production. Now she’s simply waiting for SC

3. Carl H.
Yelp | Jun 8, 2016 |

Carl H. reached out to Solar Shoppers for a quote on a south-facing roof at his home — he pays SCE about $123 a month on the CARE program, has a household income near $4,000 a month, and credit scores in the high 600s to low 700s. He first spoke with a pleasant representative who believed Solar Shoppers could help and promised a follow-up. The next evening a different rep called with a markedly different tone: disinterested, contradicting the first rep, and saying that being on CARE meant no savings, no government incentives, and that the company couldn’t help him. That caller still offered an appointment but added he didn’t want to “waste your time,” leaving Carl with a sour feeling and prompting him to cancel. What pushed him to write the review was a Solar Shoppers radio commercial on 103.9 Bob FM that touted deals for customers with low bills and incentive packages — messaging that directly conflicted with the second salesperson’s dismissal. Meanwhile three other solar firms who contacted him from the same website request all said they could lower his monthly payment below his SCE bill, offered incentive programs (one mentioning both government and AARP incentives), and pointed

What You Can Expect

01

1. Anthony P.
Yelp | Jan 7, 2024 |

Anthony P. hired Solar Shoppers to install solar panels on his home on August 12, 2020, and after a utility-related hold-up with Edison he finally tied into the grid on January 1, 2021. When his inverter failed the following October, Solar Shoppers stepped in and replaced it immediately — no questions asked. Levon Juni’s daughter managed the service and handled him personally; he couldn’t remember her name but called her exceptional and said Levon should be proud. He walked away impressed by the fair price and the company’s responsiveness, and mentioned he’d give ten stars if he could — the detail that stuck with him was how they fixed a major problem without pushback.

2. Gabriel V.
Yelp | Sep 26, 2025 |

When Gabriel decided to add an EV connector to the side of his house, he reached out to Solarshoppers online and heard back from Shawn, the owner, almost immediately. After receiving a quote he moved forward and booked an appointment, but a scheduling mix-up cropped up — Shawn personally called to straighten things out and make it right. The quick, hands-on response and follow-through stood out: he walked away convinced the team actually cares and operates with integrity. He already plans to contact Solarshoppers again when he’s ready to add a Powerwall.

3. Hal F.
Yelp | Sep 6, 2025 |

Hal uploaded a photo of SolarShoppers Construction’s finished rooftop installation on his Antelope Valley home and ended up with a system he expects will pay for itself in about five to six years. He found their after‑install support unmatched and made a point of directing future customers to contact Shawn for any solar or roof repair needs. He judged the team to be the top choice in the Antelope Valley and even emphasized they’re the best beyond the local area — "number one period."

2. Kelli D.
Yelp | Sep 13, 2020 |

Kelli D. had solar panels fitted to her home two years ago, and the whole process went smoothly. She still loves the system, walked away from the installation pleased with the results, and would hire the company again — a decision she recommends to others, with her continued satisfaction two years later as the clearest takeaway.

3. Scott J.
Yelp | Jun 10, 2020 |

Scott J. hired Solar Shoppers to install a residential solar system and found the installation team professional and helpful. Three years after the install, a bad windstorm caused an issue and he reached out to the store; someone responded within an hour. Technicians were dispatched to his house, reset the system, and had everything running again during that visit. The memorable detail: reliable, rapid post‑install support—same‑day response and an on-site fix long after the sale.

1. David C.
Yelp | Aug 16, 2020 |

David C. had SolarShoppers install solar panels three years ago and counts the upgrade among the best improvements to his home. He ended up with electricity bills that dropped to almost nothing — his most recent bill was just $23, even with the air conditioner held at 72°F day and night in the AV. In winter the charge falls further, usually around $12. Three years on, the detail that sticks is simple and concrete: continuous cooling at 72°F still only produced a $23 bill, a clear measure of how much the system has cut his energy costs.

2. Nikki L.
Yelp | Mar 18, 2019 |

Nikki L. chose this company for a home solar installation three years ago and keeps coming back to one clear point: the team actually cares about customers. She’s had the panels for three years and, confident in how they handled the job, sent family members their way — who turned out to be pleased as well. The standout detail is not the sale but the sustained trust: after three years and a successful family referral, she believes the company will look after you.

3. Quentinjhoffman ..
Yelp | Aug 23, 2025 |

Quentinjhoffman reached out for a quote and found Shawn responded immediately, delivering far more than expected. Shawn ran a thorough analysis, outpaced competing bids, and recommended a right‑sized system instead of steering him toward the priciest option. He ended up owning the solar array and feels set for years to come. The installation crew worked quietly and professionally, leaving no obvious trace and painting the conduit to match his home so the installation looks integrated. While other companies pushed leased systems, Solar Shoppers presented a purchase option that avoids a lease and reduces reliance on SCE. The detail that sticks: he walked away with an optimized, owned system that blends into the house rather than an upsold package or an eyesore on the roof.
