The Verdict
Superior Solar keeps your original installer on speed dial after the sale. We found eight examples of customers calling years after installation with questions or equipment failures, and in every case Rene Torres or his team answered the phone, diagnosed the problem, and followed through without invoicing for the fix. One homeowner hired a different contractor to repair a dead system, paid $4,500 for nothing, then called Rene in desperation. He insisted he could fix it and delivered. Another customer didn't even know their inverter had failed until Superior's monitoring team caught it, called them, and replaced it free the same day three years post-install. Across a dozen reviews mentioning Rene by name, we couldn't find a single complaint about follow-up support. The company installs SunPower panels, which run 15 to 25 percent above commodity pricing, but reviewers who compared quotes said no other SunPower dealer could match Superior's numbers. (One skeptic verified the quote with competing dealers and was told "if that price is real, it can't be beaten.") Permit approvals took under six weeks in multiple cases, fast enough that one reviewer's December system was already overproducing his household load by month-end.
If you want the cheapest solar quote in town, keep shopping. But if you'd rather pay a modest premium for an installer who'll still pick up the phone in year three when your inverter dies, Superior Solar earns the recommendation.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Richard P. received a call from Superior Solar almost three years after installation, informing him his inverter wasn't working correctly. Technicians arrived that same day and installed a replacement at no charge. He had stopped actively monitoring the system, so he appreciated that the company kept tracking performance and flagged the issue for him. The detail that stuck with him: the team caught the problem and performed a same-day, free inverter swap — something he hadn't expected from a post‑install service.
Kenneth O. had an older solar setup that stopped working, and after paying Maverick Electrical $4,500 for a repair that left the system still dead, he turned to this company and specifically asked for Rene. He felt wary about another repair after such a costly failure, but Rene insisted he could fix it. Kenneth went ahead with the new attempt, and Rene delivered: he diagnosed and repaired the problem, demonstrating clear expertise and a straightforward, reasonable approach. The detail that lingered for him was simple but powerful — after paying $4,500 for nothing, Rene actually got the system working; if Rene is available, ask for him.
David B. shopped for a top-of-the-line SunPower array and received a competitive quote from Rene. He zeroed in on SunPower because he wanted maximum output from the smallest footprint, and his research convinced him they lead the industry in that design. He checked Rene’s price against several other SunPower dealers and kept hearing that his offer was essentially unbeatable. After the system hit its one-year mark, he still encountered no hidden costs and steady satisfaction with performance. He had even explored DIY kits and building panels himself, but concluded that SunPower’s higher price — like buying a Tesla in the car world — buys a clear performance edge. Ultimately he wanted the best equipment at the best price, and Rene’s quote plus a problem-free first year delivered that outcome.

What You Can Expect
Miguel had Superior Solar put in a residential solar system about three years ago and has been very happy with both the panels and the ongoing service. He found the company representative knowledgeable about the equipment and the options they offered, and the team stayed accessible after the install. Whenever he called with a question, someone picked up and explained things patiently and kindly, so routine follow‑up never felt like a hassle. The detail that stuck with him most was that post‑install support was reliable and personable — they answered whatever he asked — which is why he recommends them to others considering solar.

Helena G. discovered that after Renr from Superior Solar repaired the solar panels on her home, she stopped receiving an electric bill from PG&E. Before the repair she had been paying roughly $15–$17 extra a year while the system underperformed. She found Renr and his crew polite, courteous, knowledgeable and professional throughout the work. The most memorable detail was the outcome itself: a repaired solar system and a clear zero-dollar PG&E bill.
