The Verdict

Sun Solar Electric is one of the most reliable installers we've analyzed. In over a hundred reviews we found zero complaints about their follow-up support, and 61 reviewers went out of their way to praise their workmanship. When a homeowner's Enphase battery turned out to be defective a year after install, the crew troubleshot the problem for weeks, handled the warranty claim start to finish, and didn't bill a penny for the extra visits. Another customer had circuit breakers trip on Christmas and got walked through a fix over the phone the next morning at no charge. The pattern we see is a crew that treats problems like puzzles to solve, not billable hours to rack up. We did find one reviewer frustrated by sparse communication during a complicated electrical retrofit that dragged eighteen months, so if your project involves major panel upgrades expect to chase updates yourself. But 59 reviews mention strong project management, and systems installed three years ago are still running without a glitch. If you want an installer who'll show up to fix an inverter issue without pressuring you into a premature replacement, this is your crew.

If you're willing to stay on top of timeline questions during complex retrofits, Sun Solar Electric will deliver clean work and stand behind it long after the final inspection.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Koros
SolarReviewsDec 15, 2023

Koros woke to a cold, dark bedroom after Christmas lights and space heaters overloaded the home's electrical system and knocked out the bedroom circuits. They looked up local electricians on the BBB and left their contact details on Sun Solar Electric’s website. The next morning a man who introduced himself as Nick called. He asked for a photo of the circuit breaker to be texted to him, examined the image, and calmly walked them through resetting the tripped breaker over the phone. Power returned to every bedroom, and Sun Solar Electric didn't charge for the consultation. What stands out is that a quick photo and a patient technician fixed the problem without an on‑site visit or fee—Koros intends to call them first for any future electrical trouble.

Brad hired Sun Solar to design and install a solar panel array and an Enphase battery on his 50+-year-old house after other installers backed away from the job. Jayson, Mike, Page and the crew laid out a system that fit the tricky roof and completed the installation cleanly. When the Enphase equipment started acting up, the team dug into troubleshooting, identified a hardware defect, and managed the entire warranty replacement process on his behalf—while the solar panels themselves never caused an issue. Since that warranty work wrapped up more than a year ago, he hasn’t experienced a single glitch, and the system now produces almost exactly the amount of electricity his household uses each year—a clear payoff from the original design and the company’s follow-through.

Ryan S. hired Sun Solar for a full electrical retrofit as part of his home's solar project and ended up spending a year and a half dealing with repeated delays and poor communication. Work would begin — a few parts installed — then stop, and he only heard back if he relentlessly chased them by phone and email; the crew never proactively warned about known hold-ups or discussed alternatives. He also discovered a sharper problem: during the first walkthrough the project manager, Nick, gave him incorrect information about where the new subpanel could be sited. After pushing back, he learned that both the owner and an independent electrician agreed the interior subpanel couldn’t be placed in a closet, contradicting Nick’s claim. The installation quality disappointed him as well: when the house was rewired the attic ended up full of wires with sharp bends and switchbacks, nothing labeled, which makes tracing circuits difficult. The crew’s pattern of showing up one to two days every couple of weeks on short notice rounded out the experience — for what he spent, the unpredictable schedule and the messy, unlabeled attic wiring were the details that lingered.

Dan K.
YelpJul 28, 2022

Dan K. regretted hiring this company to install a home solar system that was supposed to provide backup power to part of his house. He found the crew personable up to the point of payment, then communication all but stopped. Although they had agreed the battery backup would cover six circuits, the installers left only four tied into the system. After the job finished the system had multiple problems — most alarmingly, the backup battery failed to supply emergency power when the grid went down. Attempts to get warranty service produced excuses or no response, so repairs never materialized. The detail that lingers is concrete: six circuits were promised but only four were delivered, and that shortfall left him without the emergency power he expected and with no effective after-sales support.
