Sun Up Electric reviews

The Verdict
Sun Up Electric solved problems other contractors wouldn't touch. We found a homeowner whose install required coordinating with a roofer mid-job and an electrician upgrading the main panel 150 feet away in a detached garage. Konstantin visited in person to walk the site (rare among the six other installers this customer interviewed), then finished the entire job the day after the new roof went on. Reviews show 32 mentions of careful workmanship, often with specific praise for how the team routed wiring exactly where customers wanted it or discovered a house wasn't properly grounded and quietly fixed it. In one case, a breaker failed right before Thanksgiving. The crew drove out to San Jose that morning and replaced it at no charge. The owner is a trained electrician who works on-site during installations, which explains why 21 reviewers mentioned follow-up support without a single complaint. One customer summed it up: after comparing quotes from the biggest providers to the smallest, they were relieved to skip the corporate runaround and work with a family operation that just gives you the facts.
If you have a tricky roof layout or need someone who'll coordinate with other trades without fuss, Sun Up Electric is the installer to call. You'll pay a fair price for a system designed by someone who actually visits your property first.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Ray H. hired the company for a solar installation and found the crew professional and thorough. A few months later, a breaker died right before Thanksgiving; the team drove out to his San Jose home that morning and repaired it at no charge. He came away most impressed by their follow-through—showing up on the morning before the holiday and fixing the problem for free.
Robert K. shopped from the biggest national firms down to the smallest local installers before choosing Sun Up Electric for a residential solar system that also included extra electrical work. He liked their straightforward, no-nonsense approach: they laid out the facts, never pushed a sale, and answered questions quickly. They also helped with financing by supplying the information and applications to make that process easier. The installation became complicated because he requested additional electrical upgrades and the house had undocumented wiring from the original build, but Sun Up persisted, untangled the wiring problems, and finished the job so everything worked perfectly. The larger companies he consulted had given him the runaround on those issues; Sun Up stuck with the project until it was resolved. He plans to tell anyone considering solar about how they handled the messy wiring and the financing paperwork without passing the buck.
David M. shopped around, talking in depth with six or seven installers before settling on Sun Up and Konstantin to design a solar system with battery-backup capability for a challenging property: a sloped lot set back from the road, a slightly sloped northeast-facing roof with limited space but nearly full sun, and the main electrical panel tucked in a detached garage about 150 feet from the array site. He appreciated that Konstantin visited in person before any contract was signed — then iterated the plan with him as they worked through tradeoffs — and that Konstantin is a trained electrician, which made a practical difference on a tricky layout. Together they landed on a design that prioritizes year-round production, leaves room to add more panels later, and routes things so adding a battery in the detached garage will be straightforward. Pricing came in as the best of the bids and truly all-inclusive, with no surprise charges, and Konstantin walked him through panel manufacturers, mounting options, and battery choices in a clear, research-backed way that matched what he had found on his own. During the renovation, Konstantin coordinated smoothly with the roofer (who was reroofin

What You Can Expect
Debra G. watched a tidy, professional install unfold when Sun Up handled her Semper Solaris project at her home. A crew showed up on time, laid out two large tables to organize tools and equipment, and walked through their plans before getting to work — that level of organization set the tone for the day. They moved efficiently, managed an unexpected fence glitch without drama, and left the yard and roof spotless when they finished. Only the city inspection remains; the array looks great, and Dave’s clear knowledge and friendly manner made the process easy to follow. What stuck with her most was the crew’s preparation and cleanup — the small details that made the whole job feel under control while she waits for final sign-off.
Paula B. moved into a new-build home and soon discovered her PGE bills were higher than expected. When her husband called the installer, Eddie at Sun Up Electric jumped in—returning texts and calls quickly and always keeping the family posted on his schedule. Eddie discovered the solar array had never been activated, came out promptly to start the system, and then stayed to walk Paula through the equipment and the monitoring app. He patiently guided a senior who isn’t comfortable with technology, repeating steps until she could operate the app and understand how the system performs. The result: a working solar setup plus the confidence to check production and manage it on her phone. What lingered most was Eddie’s hands-on patience — not just flipping a switch, but taking the time to set up, explain, and ensure she could use the system herself.
Mike L. arrived at solar as a beginner, focused on learning how much capacity his home needed to cut monthly electricity bills. He hired Sun Up Electric and ran into a few bumps during the process, but steady, clear communication kept the project on track. By working through questions and making adjustments with the crew, he and the installers settled on a system layout that fit the home and got everything up and running. He singled out Konstantine for helpful, hands-on service, and walked away with a tailored system that should reduce his monthly billing.
