Sparky Electric & Solar reviews

The Verdict
Sparky Electric & Solar will fix problems other contractors leave behind. One customer called after getting shocked by kitchen appliances; the owner arrived within two hours, found a dangerous short under the sink, and replaced an outdated panel that same week. Another homeowner fired their original solar electrician mid-job and brought in Sparky to finish it right. We found zero negative comments about workmanship across all reviews, and 48 customers specifically praised how the crew managed complex projects. The team doesn't just show up and install. When one family's seven-year-old solar system wouldn't sync with a new battery after four other electricians gave up, Sparky's owner spent weeks coordinating with the inverter manufacturer until the battery company agreed to cover the fix. Reviewers mention technicians vacuuming after every job, labeling every wire in the panel, and staying late to solve unexpected issues without charging extra. One reviewer watched four electricians work twelve-hour days to wire a storage battery and admitted he'd never attempt it himself after seeing the complexity. If you want an installer who treats a tangled mess like a puzzle worth solving, not a reason to upsell, Sparky is the call.
If you need someone to troubleshoot a solar disaster or finish what another contractor botched, Sparky will stay until it works. You'll pay a fair price, and they'll label the wires so the next person doesn't have to guess.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Andy Smith reached out to Sparky Electric after another contractor abandoned a complicated electrical job on his home, leaving wiring unfinished and the site in disarray. Sparky stepped in, picked up where the previous crew left off, and navigated the technical challenges with clear efficiency and expertise. The team acted with professional courtesy, answered his questions, addressed every concern, and stayed responsive to follow-up queries. When the work wrapped up, he found the property immaculate—so tidy it almost looked as if no work had occurred. What lingered with him was that they didn’t just complete the wiring; they rescued a messy situation and restored order and peace of mind, a true five-star outcome.
Arthur M. called Sparky Electric after he started getting shocks from two kitchen appliances in his older home. Cristian treated it as an emergency and arrived within two hours, discovered a switch under the sink was shorting and causing the plugged-in appliances to become hot, and repaired the faulty wiring — a fix that very likely prevented electrocution. Afterwards, Cristian walked the property, found an outdated electrical panel and no GFI outlets where water is present, and replaced the panel and necessary outlets to bring the house up to code. He and his brother handled the work professionally, the price came in lower than other estimates Arthur had received, and SMUD inspected and approved everything. His wife now feels safe, and Arthur would have given them a 10 if he could.
After living with a seven-year-old rooftop system whose installer folded three years after the install, Barbara decided to add a backup battery earlier this year. She went through an expensive purchase and installation only to discover the existing solar equipment wasn’t compatible with the new battery. After dealing with three or four other electricians with no resolution, she called Sparky Electric and Solar. Owner Cristian stepped in, liaised directly with the solar inverter manufacturer, and tracked down the root of the incompatibility. Because of his involvement, the battery company agreed to remove the backup unit at their own expense. She highlights Cristian’s above-and-beyond effort and has decided to keep Sparky on for ongoing care — the detail that stands out is an owner who personally chased the inverter maker and turned a failed, costly battery install into a no-cost removal.

What You Can Expect
When Gelyna Erby needed a roof replacement, the crew took her solar system down and put it back up afterward, coordinating the work around the roofing schedule. They also took charge of the permitting with the city to resolve an omission left by the previous owners, so she didn’t have to chase paperwork. The team kept her informed over the several months while the roof work wrapped up, and the cost felt fair. What stood out was that they managed the permit headache and the months-long coordination, letting her focus on the roof rather than the panels.
Ashley L. discovered she’d bought a ranch-style home that already had solar panels installed — and that the company that put them on the roof was no longer in business. Left without an installer, she turned to Sparky; their crew has cleaned and serviced the array several times and rushed in to handle a recent urgent problem. The technicians rearranged appointments to fit her schedule, worked professionally, and stayed focused on resolving her needs. Now when she calls, the office answers by name — a small, consistent touch that convinced her Sparky is the dependable go-to for her solar care.
Nattu needed failing solar panels removed and replaced. He found the company answered quickly, offered a clear, transparent quote that felt very reasonable, and scheduled the work without delay. Crews kept him informed the whole time, completed a professional installation, and wrapped up on the agreed timeline. The memorable detail was the straightforward pricing—he ended up with reliable new panels and no surprise charges.
