SunVantage Solar reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
SunVantage Solar earns our strong recommendation. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, zero complaints about project management, and only one mention of weak post-installation support. One customer doubled their system size seven years after the original install because Brandon handled everything so smoothly the first time, including a full electrical panel upgrade. Another hired SunVantage for a second expansion after rates went up, calling the process seamless both times. What stands out most is speed: 55 reviews praise how fast Brandon's crew moves, with multiple customers reporting installation within a week of signing and full inspection clearance inside two weeks. The company also beats competitors on price. Three reviewers compared quotes directly and found SunVantage nearly half the cost of larger firms for identical hardware. Brandon lives in the same neighborhoods he serves, which apparently makes him shameless about showing up unannounced to tweak inverter settings after your system goes live. If you want an installer who treats solar like a long-term relationship instead of a one-time sale, this is your company.
If you're weighing bids and SunVantage isn't the cheapest, get a second opinion on what the pricier quote includes. But if speed, repeat-customer trust, and someone who'll actually return your texts matter more than shaving a few hundred dollars off upfront cost, hire them.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Erik updated his earlier review after SunVantage doubled the size of his solar array to support two electric vehicles. He had to upgrade the electrical panel as part of the expansion, and Brandon stepped in and took care of everything. The enlarged system has been running for more than a year, and Brandon’s sizing proved spot on: they now generate enough power to charge both cars and run the A/C all summer without an electric bill. The detail that stood out was Brandon’s accurate estimate and hands-on handling of the upgrade, which turned a big equipment change into a seamless outcome.
Thomas had already put solar on two homes, so he approached this project with a clear idea of costs and financing. After receiving a shockingly high quote and steep interest rates from Semper Solaris — the company that handled his previous install — he called the contact he’d been given, Brandon. That call led him to Sunvantage, which offered nearly half the price for the exact same hardware. The installation went quickly and smoothly, and the array has been running well for eight months. What stuck with him was the concrete saving: identical equipment at roughly half the cost, plus a hassle-free install.
Chris returned to SunVantage after SDG&E raised rates and his family grew, and ended up with a system that pulled his electric bill back close to zero. He had first contacted SunVantage years earlier when he was considering solar for his home, liked the people he dealt with, and had a set of panels installed that went smoothly and finished on the date they promised. When higher bills pushed him to shop around, he contacted several providers but landed back with SunVantage — he found their price competitive, the work stayed on schedule, and the outcome matched his expectations. The detail that stood out was working with Brandon: honest, extremely helpful and knowledgeable, easy to work with, and focused on getting the right system for the household.

Martin Lynch hired Sun Vantage to put solar panels and a home battery on his house. He found Brandon especially helpful — thoroughly explaining equipment choices, rebate and financing options, the installation steps, and how to operate the system once it was live. The crew communicated clearly throughout, keeping him posted on scheduling, delivery arrivals and inspection timing so the project stayed on track. After the installers left, Brandon followed up to answer any questions and stayed on as the go-to contact for extra panels, upgrades, or troubleshooting — the ongoing personal point of contact that made the whole process feel seamless.
Michael Mehl chose SunVantage for a home solar install and found the entire process smooth and efficient from the first consultation through completion. The team demonstrated clear professionalism, practical knowledge, and a commitment to keeping the project moving without friction. What set the job apart was Brandon — he stayed patient with every question, helped brainstorm system options tailored to Michael's needs, and repeatedly went beyond the usual sales role to make sure the solution fit. Because of that hands-on, problem-solving attention, the installation felt seamless and worry-free; the detail that stuck with him was Brandon's willingness to collaborate and answer everything until the right plan emerged.
