Sunlight Solar reviews

The Verdict
Sunlight Solar delivers, but you'll need to stay on top of them after the install. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a company whose crews show up on time, work fast, and nail the technical details. One homeowner watched installers finish a roof in two days and solar in another two, beating every deadline the company set. Reviews consistently mentioned teams who handle permits without drama, answer technical questions during the sale, and leave job sites spotless. But we also found 35 complaints about poor follow-up: missed inspection visits, ignored emails, and one customer who spent a year trying to get a $300 monitoring device installed. Sunlight's strength is the install itself. A homeowner called them for a second opinion on a broken system another company wanted to replace for $24,000. Sunlight's tech started at the breaker box, swapped a $13 part, and had the system running again. If you're willing to follow up yourself when something goes sideways, the quality of the physical work justifies the choice.
If you want a crew who'll finish your roof and panels ahead of schedule and you're comfortable chasing down your own service requests, Sunlight Solar is a solid pick. If you expect the company to proactively manage everything after the install, keep shopping.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Sandy had a 9-year-old rooftop solar system suddenly stop producing power. After one company told her the fix would require a $24,000 overhaul, she sought a second opinion and reached out to Sunlight Solar. Jon Shuruk arranged for Manny to come out, and Manny started the inspection in the right place — he quickly pinpointed a failed breaker switch, swapped a $13 part, and the system sprang back to life. The striking takeaway: what another installer framed as a $24,000 rebuild turned out to be a $13 replacement.
Sha-Rick A. picked Sunlight Solar to replace his roof and install a solar system at a moment when a tax-incentive deadline made timing just as important as price. When he broke the project into parts, their roof and solar line-item pricing came in the most competitive. Having been burned by contractors who missed deadlines, he worried about being pushed to the back of the queue — a friend recommended Sunlight for punctuality, and he found that recommendation true. The crew finished the roof in two days and returned a week later to install the solar in two days, beating the timelines they had set. They also handled the Permission to Operate (PTO) paperwork alongside the work, so he received PTO shortly after installation. The roof and array looked tidy and attractive, the system has been working well, and the team answered questions quickly by text or phone. What stuck with him was their reliability: the job stayed on schedule, the utility paperwork was managed for him, and he walked away with a finished roof and a functioning system in far less time than he feared.
Sandra G. bought a residential solar system from Sunlight Solar in 2016. At installation the crew left her with a small internet‑connected monitoring unit but offered almost no explanation of how important it was; finding it an eyesore, she either tossed it or shoved it into the garage. Years later, when her electric bills didn’t drop as expected, she reached back out and learned the company needed readings from the “envoy” — a term she hadn’t heard before and couldn’t act on because the device was missing. Sunlight Solar offered to install a replacement for $700; she declined and tried other installers, but none would install just the envoy. She then bought her own envoy for about $300 and called Sunlight Solar to do the hookup for a quoted $300–$400. Scheduling repeatedly collapsed: appointments were made and technicians didn’t show (one did arrive but wasn’t briefed on the job), and multiple emails went unanswered. A year passed with no installation, and when she pressed again the company raised the price to $1,500. Sandra ended up out the $300 for the device and without the monitoring hookup; the detail that lingered for her was simple and sharp — she paid for a part herself, a

This homeowner paid for a roof and solar installation in October 2023 — an expensive project financed with a loan they are still repaying. By May 2024 they discovered roof problems and requested the company send a different roofer; that subcontractor admitted there were issues, fixed what he could, and left a positive impression. They wanted reassurance the repairs wouldn’t compromise the solar, and the roofer was supposed to return for a follow-up but never came back. Since then, attempts to reach the company have failed — no responses to messages and calls go “straight to voicemail” with no live operator. The most lasting impression: competent work on the roof from the subcontractor, but a company that disappears when follow-up matters, leaving them stuck paying a loan for a job that still needs proper resolution.
Ritchie kept returning to Rick and Ramon over several years for both solar and window work, and each job reinforced his trust in their know‑how. He relied on their steady expertise across different projects and appreciated that the same two technicians handled the work reliably. What stuck with him most was the consistent competence from Rick and Ramon that made him grateful enough to use them multiple times.
