The Verdict

SunSolar US will walk you through every decision without pressuring you to buy. We analyzed reviews spanning seven years and found the same pattern repeating: Kobi (the owner) sits down with homeowners, explains the technical details in plain English, and tailors the system to your actual usage rather than upselling a bigger array. One customer with an electrical engineering degree noted Kobi answered technical questions with precision and recommended a straightforward purchase instead of a lease, then arranged financing through a credit union at a lower rate than a home equity loan. Another hadn't paid an electric bill in a year after installing 19 panels. The installs themselves run fast. One homeowner added capacity to a seven-year-old system and said the expansion finished faster than the original job, with the older panels still working at near-original efficiency despite never being cleaned. We couldn't find a single complaint about workmanship or post-installation support across the entire review set, and 75 customers specifically praised how responsive the team remained years after the panels went live.

If you want the lowest quote with zero follow-up questions asked, you'll find cheaper options. But if you'd rather work with an installer who'll still pick up the phone when your inverter fails four years later, SunSolar US is the safer long-term bet.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Duy Pham
GoogleJul 24, 2025

Duy Pham had Kobi install his first solar array seven years ago, and the system is still producing reliably with only minimal loss in efficiency despite never having the panels cleaned. When rising energy costs and heavier household use made more capacity necessary, he opted to add panels to boost output. Kobi moved quickly: within days of discussing options he pulled a plan together and finished the expansion even faster than the original install. He stayed highly responsive and generous with his time, answering questions and addressing concerns so the upgrade felt easy and almost effortless. The detail that sticks: a seven-year-old array that’s held up without maintenance, and an installer who turned a retrofit into a matter of days rather than weeks.

Winston L.
YelpApr 19, 2022

Winston had a solar system installed about five years ago and still remembers the first meeting with Kobi as a highlight — Kobi walked him through the technical details carefully, a clear contrast with other companies that tried pressure tactics and glossed over explanations. The installation went smoothly and professionally, and the system has produced more energy than the initial estimates predicted. The most memorable part of the experience has been SunSolar’s ongoing support: when the inverter developed a manufacturer fault, SunSolar handled repairs and replacements quickly and efficiently instead of leaving him to navigate the warranty alone. He values that prompt, hands-on service and the company’s long track record; five years later, what sticks with him is how SunSolar took responsibility and resolved a hardware problem without hassle.

Equator185 found SunSolar US after a neighbor — who had SunSolar US panels for about eight months with no problems — made the introduction. Because they hold an electrical engineering degree, they dug into technical details and walked away impressed: Kobi answered precise engineering questions, produced a roof layout from satellite images during the on-site visit, and tailored a system design on the spot. Unlike big-name competitors that either quoted higher prices, dodged technical answers, or pushed leases, Kobi pushed a purchase path and arranged a manageable solar loan through a reputable credit union. That loan carried a lower interest rate than a home equity loan and, crucially, was a personal loan without a lien on the house — avoiding the sales complications that some home-equity or property-tax financing can create. Kobi also let them choose components; they selected Q-Cell panels and a SolarEdge inverter to maximize efficiency and reliability. The installed system consistently produced close to top efficiency even on cloudy days — about 80 kWh per day — compared with the roughly 25 kWh per day typical for a household under SCE’s figures. If that 80 kWh had come from SCE,

After about four years with solar panels on her home, Susana Murillo discovered they continue to deliver excellent efficiency and has been very happy with the outcome. She worked with Kobi and Ron, who walked her through options with clear, honest information and put together financing plans that fit her needs. The upfront transparency plus reliable long-term performance made the switch feel like the right move — she still calls it the best decision she made and thanks Kobi and Ron for their help.

Debbie Y.
YelpApr 13, 2024

Debbie Y. had a 19-panel roof system installed on her single-family home and, a year after the work was finished, she hasn't paid an electric bill. Kobi from SunSolar U.S. visited, spent quality time with her and her husband, and carefully walked them through the installation process. From that first meeting through the installation, the crew stayed professional and focused on the details needed to complete the job. Kobi and Ron answered questions quickly and remained reachable whenever she needed help. The standout detail: one year in, zero electric bills — paired with fast, hands-on communication whenever questions came up.
