Stada Energy reviews

Abby Miller turned to family-run Stada Energy — a team with more than 15 years installing energy equipment — when she needed a Tesla charger at her house. She ended up with a one-day installation and prompt follow-up calls to confirm everything was working, and she noticed the workmanship was top quality. She already knew the owner, Leif, and watched him bring the same expertise to her job that he’s shown leading massive desert projects: solar carports, hundreds of residential installs, and complex commercial jobs with lots of moving parts. He came across as down-to-earth, highly professional, and very skilled; because he holds his crew to high standards, she trusted anyone on the team. The detail that stuck with her was the blend of a fast, clean install and the reassurance that the company is led by someone who’s delivered on large, complicated projects.

John Langpap discovered his ABB solar inverter had failed while still under warranty, and ABB sent a replacement unit. He reached out to Leif, who showed up the day after the call to assess the situation and came back the following day to install the new inverter. Leif walked through the work clearly, handled the swap efficiently, and stayed helpful and friendly throughout. The standout detail was the fast two‑visit turnaround—assessment one day, installation the next—which turned an inconvenient outage into a quick, hassle‑free repair.

Ran C. bought a new desert property and needed someone to survey it for solar; Leif and Michelle showed up on their day off to do the site visit and stayed long enough to walk him through the lay of the land and what a system would look like. He discovered a small, local company that pairs straightforward, fair pricing with a hands-on, friendly crew. The part that stood out was their willingness to take extra time on a weekend visit to explain the property and options — he walked away feeling informed about the site and confident about moving forward with Stada Energy for a desert install.

Bob C. began with a thorough analysis that laid out several investment levels so he could compare cost and expected output. He worked with Leif, who guided the options and answered questions quickly and clearly. The installation crew arrived organized and very neat, fitted 48 panels and the inverters, and tied in a Tesla Powerwall; the whole job went smoothly and passed inspection on the first try. The standout for him was the combination of a clear, consultative planning process and a tidy, inspection-ready installation — he wouldn’t entrust that 48-panel plus Powerwall setup to any other provider.

Kendyl spent a year-and-a-half battling a previous solar installer that left their family without any access to their solar system for over a year. After that long ordeal, they turned to Stada Energy and connected with Leif, who moved with professionalism and real urgency. What had felt like a hopeless tangle of dead ends got untangled in about two days — Leif restored access and handled the technical and paperwork problems that had been stalled. The family walked away relieved and grateful; the detail that sticks is clear: Leif resolved in two days what had been locked up for more than a year.

Catherine Harmon chose Stada Energy for her home’s solar and, after a year living with Southern California Edison (SCE) and the new system, discovered the installation and follow-through made the difference. Her crew, led by Leif, showed up on time, stayed professional throughout the process, and kept her informed with regular updates. When paperwork and utility hurdles with SCE cropped up, Leif and Michelle stepped in and handled the issues until they were resolved. A year in, she’s happy with having solar and points to the team’s punctuality, clear communication, and hands-on help with the utility as what made the experience stand out.

Melissa K. began with a call from Mike, then had Leif come for a site visit, and wound up with a finished installation — a process she found refreshingly straightforward. She discovered the team kept communication prompt and concentrated on engineering the best system they could afford rather than pushing extra equipment. Their price matched or beat the larger companies she shopped, but the service arrived faster and felt more personal. They avoided hard sells and tailored the layout to her budget and needs, delivering a system that fit the house without unnecessary add‑ons. She walked away thrilled with the new system — the memorable detail being how quickly and cleanly they designed a right‑sized solution instead of trying to upsell.

After choosing Stada Energy for a home solar installation, J F. thanked Leif and his crew for a first-rate, highly professional job. They discovered the team's workmanship was meticulous: after setting the mounting brackets the crew resealed the roof, patched and painted the garage areas where they worked, and even painted the exterior conduit to match the stucco. The team also took on the headache of contacting the city, the HOA and the utility company so J F. didn't have to chase permits or approvals. They ended up thrilled to have solar and pleased they'd gone with Stada Energy — what stuck with them most was that the job included those finishing touches, not just functioning panels.

Greg, a retired industrial contractor who ran three construction companies over more than 40 years, called Strata Energy to troubleshoot and repair his existing DC solar system on his property. Within a little over a day, Mike got back to him and set up a service visit with Leif Soderlind, the owner, who came out personally. Leif worked methodically, demonstrating deep technical knowledge and high-quality workmanship while staying approachable and professional throughout the job. The team charged a reasonable fee, fixed the issue cleanly, and left the system performing as it should. He appreciated the fast response, the owner’s hands-on approach, and the straightforward integrity that felt very much like a family-owned business. As a result, he plans to rely on Strata Energy as his go-to solar expert in the Desert — the quick turnaround and Leif’s direct involvement are what stuck with him most.
