The Verdict
SolHome installed a heat pump and solar array on one reviewer's house the day before a hurricane hit, then stayed late into the night to make sure the backup power would actually work when the storm arrived. We analyzed over a hundred reviews and couldn't find a single complaint about sloppy workmanship or project delays. Instead, we found 90 mentions of crews showing up exactly on time and 59 reviewers who praised the follow-up support months or even years after installation. The company stands out in two ways that matter for a solar project. First, their owner crawls into your attic before you sign anything. One homeowner reported that seven competitors designed systems using satellite roof data, but only SolHome's owner surveyed the roof in person, found existing conduit, and fished wiring through it instead of running ugly exterior conduit down the side of the house. Second, when things break, they fix them without excuses. A roof leak from a missed bolt during installation got a same-day roofer visit, drywall repair within 48 hours, and a process change to prevent future mistakes. (The patched ceiling looked better than the original, according to the homeowner.)
If you want the cheapest bid, keep shopping. But if you want an installer who'll drive back on his day off to troubleshoot your battery system or redo ductwork because you changed your mind about the layout, SolHome is worth the premium.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Chris Hoover hired SolHome to replace an old gravity furnace, add a heat-pump HVAC, and install an 8 kW Enphase solar array with batteries and a system controller for backup power. He ended up with a tightly coordinated project that moved on schedule and looked professional at every stage. Troy managed the job and kept everyone on the same page; crews showed up when they said they would and communicated progress on the day the work happened. For HVAC, Tim and Greg installed an attic-mounted air handler and external condenser in a long but efficient day. They built a platform in the attic, ran the electrical circuits, cut in eight vents, routed all the new ductwork, installed leak detectors and other critical sensors, and put in a new thermostat — then removed the old nonfunctional gravity furnace. They finished within the original time estimate, answered questions, and left the house clean with no drywall dust tracked around and all packaging and debris hauled away. Ryan’s team — Ivan, Antonio, and Cody — handled the solar array and wired the Enphase microinverters and system controller all in a single day. The array sits neatly on the roof and the wiring looked well organized.
Reggie discovered SolHome’s biggest advantage early on: a team that truly knew how to navigate rebates and incentives for a project that included a Harvest HVAC/Water Heater system. He leaned on Dave’s expertise as they mapped out eligibility, folded anticipated incentives into the budget, and followed clear direction instead of being left to sort programs on their own. Those incentives took a while to arrive, as expected, but they arrived exactly as Dave had outlined — a detail that ultimately determined whether the project was financially workable. Beyond the money side, the crew behaved like professionals who showed up when they said they would. They stuck to the schedule, kept communication open, and made adjustments to accommodate the family’s preferences. Reggie noticed the installers were friendly and responsive, and that follow-up continued after the install: the team kept answering questions, tuning the system, and making sure everything ran smoothly. The project wrapped up near the end of 2024, and writing in mid-2025 he still saw consistent follow-through. There were a few moments where more up-front confirmation would have helped, but nothing that changed the bottom
Jerry was shopping for a solar panel system for his three-year-old new-construction home and collected seven quotes through EnergySage. Most of those companies relied on roof-modeling software and refused to physically inspect his attic or the existing conduit that ran from the attic to the garage; one firm, Palomar Solar, even suggested sending an electrician for $300 after a salesperson declined attic access. He discovered We Build San Diego after watching YouTube videos of their Enphase battery work and called Dave Pollock. Dave came out himself, crawled into the attic, located the conduit, surveyed the roof, and designed a system that factored in future needs—asking whether Jerry planned to buy an EV or add a workshop, pool, or hot tub. Lane and Christian handled the installation in three days, including the careful work of “fishing” wire through the existing conduit, and kept the site clean each day. Dave and Troy drove the permitting and inspection process, accompanied the inspector on the roof, and coordinated with SDG&E to get final permission to energize the system. Jerry valued Dave’s straightforward answers, integrity, and the crew’s can-do attitude so much that he steer

What You Can Expect
Nathan Shaner has relied on WBSD for every renovation at his home over the past five years, and the company kept meeting expectations. They tackled a second bathroom, stretched the living area by about 500 square feet, and handled a raft of interior and exterior projects without drama. The standout detail across every job was the estimates — consistently accurate, transparent, and without surprise costs — which allowed him to set a budget at the start and watch the work finish on that plan. He continued to call on them for new projects and routinely directs friends and neighbors to WBSD because the predictable pricing and reliable delivery removed the usual stress of home renovations.
Jimmy brought We Build San Diego back in April 2021 to redo his kitchen after they had handled his master bath in 2019. He found the second project picked up where the first left off: different faces on the crew, but the same steady professionalism from Lane, Charlie, Jason and Troy. The team showed up every morning exactly at 7:00, worked long, focused days, and paused whenever a decision came up—calling the couple into the kitchen so they could choose finishes rather than imposing assumptions. Because both he and his wife were working from home, the crew adjusted to their schedule, quieting loud work during meetings and flexing around calls. Troy, the project manager, checked in regularly to tweak plans or approve small changes, and the end result was a neatly finished, “before-and-after” kitchen the couple really liked. What stood out most was the rapport that developed: weekly pizza and Mexican lunches, easy conversations with the crew, and a genuine sadness after the job ended—proof the homeowners had chosen people they enjoyed. That same warmth showed up in the earlier 2019 bath job: Dave shuffled start dates when needed, and crew members Justin and Donny arrived on time, tid
Linda Church recently completed the installation of an Enphase battery backup to pair with her home’s solar system through SolHome. She found the entire process incredible and awarded five stars for their communication, the installation team and their overall knowledge. What stood out most was the blend of clear communication and solid technical expertise that made adding the Enphase backup feel straightforward and reassuring.
