The Verdict

The Solar Cowboys handle the actual installation well but struggle with project timelines and follow-through. We found dozens of reviews praising the crew's professionalism during installation: panels went up fast, job sites stayed clean, and the installers answered questions patiently. One homeowner hired them to remove and reinstall panels for a roof replacement, then had inverter issues afterward. The crew came back, rechecked every connection, fixed the problem, and monitored the system for an hour to confirm it worked. That kind of thoroughness showed up in 37 reviews. The trouble starts when complications arise or projects drag on. Two customers reported eight-month waits for incomplete systems, missed appointments without calls, and months of radio silence when they needed answers. Another paid for a battery that never showed up, even as loan payments kept getting debited. The company excels at the physical work but falters when a job needs coordination beyond the install day.

If you have a straightforward installation and don't foresee needing much post-sale support, The Solar Cowboys will likely do solid work at a competitive price. But if your project involves any complexity or you value responsive communication when issues emerge, you may want an installer with tighter project management.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Aury White
Google | Aug 16, 2024 |

When Aury White needed her solar panels removed and reinstalled for a new roof, Junior and his crew showed up and handled the whole job. The team moved quickly but carefully, taking down and putting back the array with tidy, high-quality workmanship. After the reinstallation a small inverter issue appeared; The Solar Cowboys returned, rechecked every last detail, fixed the problem, and then stayed and monitored the entire system for an hour to make sure nothing else flared up. The most memorable part was that follow-through—diagnosing, repairing, and sitting with the system until it proved stable. They walked away confident in the crew’s skill and intend to call them again for any future solar, EV, or battery work.

2. Kelly
Google | Sep 27, 2024 |

Kelly hired The Solar Cowboys to install solar panels on her house eight months ago and now regrets the choice. Eight months in, the installation remains unfinished and communication evaporated — she’s gone stretches without any updates (sometimes a month, other times as long as two months), and scheduled visits frequently ended in no-call/no-shows. During the install she discovered the crew had abandoned the agreed-upon design and put up a new, unattractive panel layout she had explicitly rejected. The company alternated between promising to correct the placement and insisting they had followed the approved plans, but no corrective work ever arrived. Work on the home also created damage: they broke items inside the house and only made repairs after she pushed; afterward they denied or downplayed responsibility. They proposed non–city-approved electrical changes, relocated her breaker box, and then had to install different breakers to satisfy the city inspector. After that breaker work her A/C and dryer stopped working. The company said they would pass inspection first and then reinstall the non-approved breakers, and promised to send someone to fix the A/C and dryer lines — a

Trevor arranged for the company to come out and install a solar setup at his home; they put the panels on the roof but never installed the promised battery. Over the weeks that followed he tried to reach them and couldn’t get anyone to call him back, and his confidence faded day by day that the battery would ever arrive. Meanwhile automatic payments kept leaving his bank account — the company continued charging him even though he ended up with only "half a system." He left a one-star review, and what lingers is the mismatch between an incomplete installation and ongoing withdrawals without any communication.

What You Can Expect

01

1. Becky McCartie
Google | Oct 4, 2024 |

Becky chose Solar Cowboys for a rooftop solar installation on her home and found the process surprisingly smooth. Casey answered her questions promptly throughout the project, which kept things moving and removed a lot of the usual uncertainty. The installation crew arrived prepared, stayed professional, and took time to explain their work and address every question as they went. The detail that stood out most was the communication — quick, clear responses from Casey and the crew made the job feel organized and low-stress.

2. Kevin Fantastic
Google | Aug 10, 2024 |

Kevin brought in the Solar Cowboys for a solar install that came with an awkward constraint: limited storage space for the panels. Dakota led a crew that stayed on schedule, treated the property respectfully, and adapted plans as issues arose. They listened to his concerns, proposed workable adjustments, and kept communication open so he never felt sidelined. The memorable part of the job wasn’t just the professionalism — it was how calmly the team solved the storage challenge while remaining timely and accommodating.

3. Andrew Pace
Google | Apr 3, 2024 |

Andrew Pace hired Solar Cowboys to install panels at his home and found Justin and the crew went well beyond expectations. He watched a professional, courteous, and knowledgeable team guide him through each step so he always knew what to expect. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, finished a clean installation, and left the process feeling almost painless. He’s already telling friends and neighbors about the clear explanations and the fast, tidy work they delivered.

1. Laird Steve Anderson
Google | Nov 1, 2024 |

Laird needed a new roof but ran into a wall: other contractors refused to help because they hadn’t installed his solar panels. He reached out to Solar Cowboys, and they stepped in where everyone else walked away. They coordinated the roof work around the existing array, stayed professional and friendly throughout, and handled cleanup so thoroughly the property looked untouched when they finished. The memorable detail here isn’t just the polite crew—it's that the company took responsibility for a job others denied, enabling the roof replacement to happen without hassle.

2. tk11135
Google | Sep 16, 2024 |

tk11135 needed their solar panels taken down, and Junior and his crew arrived, moved methodically, and kept the site tidy. They watched the team disassemble the array quickly without leaving a mess, impressed by how professional and efficient the crew was. The detail that stood out was the combination of speed and neatness—fast work but everything left orderly.

3. Serendipity
Google | Sep 4, 2024 |

Serendipity needed a solar panel taken down and reinstalled and hired Mr. Jr. and his crew. The team removed and reinstalled the panel and kept clear, steady communication throughout — that consistent contact is what made the job stand out. Because Mr. Jr.'s crew kept them informed at every step, the process felt straightforward, and they recommend the crew.

1. Jackie Baca
Google | Oct 16, 2024 |

When Jackie scheduled a roof replacement, the company handled her solar array too — they uninstalled the panels before the reroof and reinstalled them afterward. She found the crew — she even called them the "solar cowboys" — friendly, capable, and easy to work with. The standout detail was that they managed the whole teardown-and-put-back process, removing the headache of coordinating the solar work around the roof project.

2. Fidel Castillo
Google | Aug 28, 2024 |

Fidel called in Jr and his crew when his solar system needed attention; they arrived with a clear mission to get his panels and energy up and running. The team located the problems, replaced every damaged connector and cable, and left the system producing power again. He appreciated the crew’s focused, no-nonsense work—what stood out was that they replaced all the damaged connectors and cables and got the system back online.

Trevor arranged for the company to come out and install a solar setup at his home; they put the panels on the roof but never installed the promised battery. Over the weeks that followed he tried to reach them and couldn’t get anyone to call him back, and his confidence faded day by day that the battery would ever arrive. Meanwhile automatic payments kept leaving his bank account — the company continued charging him even though he ended up with only "half a system." He left a one-star review, and what lingers is the mismatch between an incomplete installation and ongoing withdrawals without any communication.
