TN Electrical and Solar Services reviews

The Verdict
We analyzed over a hundred reviews for TN Electrical and found something rare: a contractor who'll chase down permits while you're on vacation and finish the whole job before you return. One couple left the country right after signing, and when they came back three weeks later, their solar system was already online and generating power. Another customer watched TN fix a botched installation by a different company (including replacing an undersized inverter and rewiring eight panels) in a fraction of the time the original installer took to disappear. We found zero negative comments about their follow-up support, and 99 reviews praised their workmanship without a single complaint about shoddy installation. Two patterns stood out: First, their permitting speed is absurd. Sixteen reviewers reported going from signed contract to city-approved installation in under four weeks, with one hitting full PTO approval in two. Second, their pricing beat the major national installers by enough that multiple customers mentioned it specifically after getting quotes from Tesla, SunRun, and SunPower. If you've got a tricky roof (tile, standing seam metal) that the big shops won't touch or quoted at go-away rates, TN will show up within the week and give you an honest number.
If you want the cheapest possible quote with zero human interaction, a giant national installer might edge them out on price. But if you want someone who'll text you back in minutes, source the specific panels you request (even discontinued LG models), and treat a repair like it's their own reputation on the line, the premium is negligible and the peace of mind is worth it.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Sandip Chatterjee discovered TN Electrical/Solar was excellent to work with. He left on vacation with permits in hand and returned from being out of the country to find a fully operational solar-plus-storage system — solar panels on a standing-seam metal roof paired with Powerwalls. TN coordinated everything remotely: provided text updates before, during and after the install; handled permitting; completed the installation; arranged and passed the city inspection; and secured PG&E PTO. The steady text communication kept him comfortable while overseas, and what stuck with him was that the team managed every step so he never had to interrupt his trip to oversee the project.
Andy had a functioning solar setup on his home until another installer added eight panels that didn’t deliver the expected power. That company shrugged off his complaints, so he turned to a neighbor’s recommendation and called Hanh Nhi at TN Electrical and Solar Services. She agreed to take a look, and technician Duong quickly discovered the core problem: the existing inverter couldn’t handle the extra eight panels. Duong replaced the inverter and ran a separate line for the new panels, completing the repairs professionally, quickly, and at a reasonable price. He left with a cleaned-up system that now produces properly — the detail that stuck with him was how promptly TN identified the inverter limitation and installed a dedicated circuit so the extra panels actually contribute as intended.
After more than two years of stalled talks with Tesla over both panels and a solar roof, Thang Pham finally moved forward with a long‑wanted rooftop system by choosing TN Electrical and Solar Services. He found them after a few conversations with Hanh Nhi and ended up with an array that’s been running perfectly for months. TN stood out for prompt, responsive communication, a reasonable price, and handling all the paperwork — including a very quick PTO — so the paperwork and approvals never became a headache. He also got to specify LG panels (even though LG exited the solar business), and the crew maintained a high degree of responsibility after the install; Tuan, the electrician, went beyond the panels to check the home’s wiring and add a sub‑panel in the garage. A few friends switched to TN after his referral, and what sticks with him is that they honored his component choice and took care of the approvals and follow‑up work quickly — the concrete details he still tells people about.

What You Can Expect
Thang knew TN through a friend and, two years ago, he hired them to install solar on his home. He walked away impressed: they answered quickly, priced the job attractively, produced the design and pulled permits fast, and completed a clean, high‑quality installation. What really set the job apart was that TN tracked down LG panels for him at a time they were hard to find after LG stepped back from the panel market. He sent several friends to TN afterward, and those friends ended up using the company as well and shared similarly positive feedback. The detail that stuck with him was TN’s ability to source the exact panels he wanted when others couldn’t.
Jonathan needed a solar system to offset the growing electricity demands of an expanding EV fleet and struggled to find a vendor willing to work on his tile roof. He contacted several big-name companies — SR, SP, and T — only to be turned away or quoted sky-high rates, until a friend who had used TN put them in touch. TN came out within the same week, evaluated both current usage and future EV charging needs, and presented a proposal that wasn’t the cheapest but delivered clear value: higher-end panels and inverters and a commitment to quality installation. The crew planned the two-day roof work for an overcast stretch to minimize tile damage, and even so only six tiles were broken. The inspector arrived the next day and marveled at the tidy routing and workmanship — especially notable given the install happened at the peak of COVID when supply chains were snarled and many government offices were working from home. Two years later, after two rainy seasons and months of intense storms (Jonathan notes multiple atmospheric rivers), there hasn’t been a single leak and the array continues to perform reliably, producing about 12 MWh a year. He’s watched TN grow in size and reputation
Rama chose TN Solar for a residential rooftop installation and was most struck by how clean the finished job looked — neat, discreet conduit routing that immediately signaled care and craftsmanship. They found Hanh handled the sales end: a transparent quote, a clear walk-through of panels and inverter, and quick answers to questions about energy production and paperwork, with no surprise costs and an accurate timeline. On the roof, a crew led by Soni worked efficiently and left behind a tidy, professional install that matched the earlier explanations. The system started up without issues, and they saw the impact on their very first bill. The detail that lingered most for Rama was the combination of responsiveness up front and the unusually neat electrical work on the roof — worth asking for Hanh and Soni if you want that level of finish.
