Sunrise Energy Group reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
Sunrise Energy Group delivers straightforward solar installations without pushy sales tactics. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a recurring pattern: homeowners praised Matthew (Moti) for explaining systems clearly, then stepping back to let them decide without pressure. One couple who had turned away multiple door-knockers said Moti answered every question they had, then simply told them "it's really up to you guys" after finishing his presentation. They went solar and now recommend him to everyone who asks. Reviews show competitive pricing. Multiple customers reported Sunrise quoted 25-33% less than competing bids, with one homeowner noting quotes for the same project ranged from $27,600 to over $42,000. The owner holds 8 U.S. patents in roof penetrations for solar, which translates to installations where conduit runs are minimal and crews take time to paint exterior wiring to match your house. Sixteen reviewers mentioned smooth permitting and utility coordination, and we found no complaints about post-installation support over systems running 4+ years.
If you want the lowest possible quote, get multiple bids. But if you'd rather work directly with a patent-holding owner who'll explain your system once and let you decide without follow-up calls, Sunrise Energy Group is worth the call.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Kathy H. chose Sunrise Energy Group from a field of six bidders for a residential solar install after seeing quotes that ranged from $27,600 to over $42,000. She was most struck by Moti’s and Greg’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the solar industry, and found them responsive throughout the decision process. The installation crew arrived on schedule and worked professionally; when DWP required a change to the scope, the company absorbed the modification without charging extra. A couple of small tweaks were needed after the panels went up, but those were handled promptly. After a month of operation, the system met or exceeded the projected power output, while annual performance remains to be confirmed. She also appreciated that the company uses only American-made products. Her practical takeaway: get multiple bids—Kathy’s range of quotes made that decision clear.
Nik V. hired Sunrise Energy Group to design and install a rooftop solar system for his home and discovered upfront savings: because Sunrise doesn’t spend on marketing, their quote landed about 33% below others he saw. When financing became a hurdle, Sunrise connected him immediately with a loan officer and secured the funding so the project could move forward. Moti guided him through every step — design, permitting, installation, and submitting the paperwork to the utility for permission to operate — and continued to answer technical questions and support the solar generation tracking software after the install. The crew left a tidy, low‑profile result: nearly no conduit along the house, all electrical equipment consolidated into a single box beside the panel and meter, and the visible conduit painted to blend in. He’s very satisfied with how it looks and confident the system will last at least 30 years; the lasting impression for him is how clean and discreet the final install appears next to the meter.
Fattima and her husband had been weighing solar for years, fielding door knocks and calls that left them feeling rushed and underinformed. After seeing Matthew install a system for close friends several months earlier, they decided to give it one last try before NEM 3.0 changed the rules. From the first meeting she found a very different experience: Matthew came across as deeply knowledgeable about every aspect of solar and, crucially, held eight U.S. patents for roof penetrations — a detail that eased their biggest worry that panels would cause roof leaks. He walked them through their system in plain language, answered a long list of questions, and never pushed for a quick signature. When the presentation ended, he simply left the decision to them. They moved forward, the installation happened quickly and smoothly, and they ended up very happy with the result. She appreciates dealing directly with the owner instead of a commissioned salesperson, and keeps telling friends about the experience. What stuck with her most was the combination of his patented roof-penetration expertise and the no-pressure approach at the end of the presentation — that certainty is what made them sign

What You Can Expect
Anderssnorteland picked Sunrise Energy for a residential solar installation and found the price fair and the install itself trouble-free. He highlights Moti as the standout — a technical expert who handled the tricky parts, navigating local permitting and the utility interconnection so the system got approved and was set up to earn credit for any excess energy. The thing that stayed with him was how Sunrise handled the paperwork and utility coordination, so he didn’t have to chase approvals and could start collecting credits from surplus generation right away.
Jay W. worked with Moti to put solar on his home and ended up with a system that’s still performing reliably four years later. He found Moti’s team knowledgeable and, after shopping around, secured a good deal. He’s had no problems with the equipment; energy output has held steady and the monthly savings remain noticeable. What sticks about his experience is the long-term consistency — steady production after four years paired with real reductions on the power bill.
Moziko hired the company for an installation and quickly discovered the owner, Moti, didn’t complete the work as they had agreed. Because the job remained unfinished, a couple of inspections were botched and the situation escalated to involve the city, leaving them to handle official complaints. Moziko called Moti a pathologic liar and urged others to stay away. The takeaway: expect unfinished work and potential inspection or municipal headaches if you hire this owner.
