Treepublic delivers what most solar installers only promise: installers who actually stick around. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found the owner, Omar, personally answers questions years after installation, a crew that climbed into one homeowner's attic after winter storms to verify zero roof leaks, and a team that replaced dozens of broken roof tiles without charging extra or making excuses. The company employs its own installers instead of farming out work to subcontractors, which explains why 122 reviewers singled out their workmanship and 107 mentioned post-sale support that didn't vanish at contract signing. Reviews show meticulous electrical work: one customer with a complex 20kW battery system called out beautifully bent conduit runs and code-compliant wiring that looked tidy on the wall, not like an afterthought. The detailed attention extends to permitting and inspections, which moved faster than customers expected, though utility approvals still drag. One recurring detail stood out: when an outlet stopped working after installation, the crew returned to replace breakers without hesitation. (Refreshing, given how many contractors ghost you over a tripped breaker.)
If you want an installer who'll meet you in your attic with a flashlight or replace broken tiles without a change order, Treepublic is worth the call. You may wait a bit for battery projects to get scheduled, but the trade-off is a team that answers the phone years later.
James A. felt overwhelmed sorting through bids to put solar on his house, so he called friends and met with five companies before choosing Treepublic. He landed on them after meeting Ramsey, the owner, who patiently walked him through options, recommended what to avoid, and never pushed upgrades — the straightforward honesty gave him confidence. Treepublic handled all the city permits, and the process moved faster than he expected. Installation proved more intensive than he imagined: the crew spent three full days on the roof installing, double-checking their work, and cleaning up afterward. Chad and Rico stood out for their knowledge and willingness to answer questions both during the install and afterwards. More than a year later the system still performs like day one, and after a stretch of heavy rain James climbed into the attic with a flashlight and found every inch completely dry — a concrete sign that the job was done carefully and correctly.
Glen found TreePublic on Yelp while shopping for a rooftop solar system in the Los Angeles/Ventura area and kept digging into online reviews before asking them to bid alongside several other contractors. He chose them because their response time blew the competition away and their price felt fair, but what sold him was how personally invested the owner, Omar, became — spending time with him through the sale, the install and the follow-up. During installation the crew, whom he describes as top-notch craftsmen, ended up breaking more concrete roof tiles than expected; they immediately told him what happened, asked permission to replace every damaged tile, and went ahead without tacking on surprise fees. That willingness to own the problem and absorb the cost convinced him he was dealing with an honest team. He kept in close contact with Omar after the job and even offered his house as a place others can visit to see the finished work. He stressed he wasn’t paid or related to the company and pointed out that TreePublic handled panels and backup batteries equally well — the lasting takeaway being a company whose owner and crew will fix mistakes up front and stand behind the job.
Furry B. chose a 20 kW system for a flat‑roof home and wound up with a setup defined by its batteries: two Enphase E10 units (20 kW of storage) tied to an Enphase System Controller 2 transfer switch that forms a true microgrid. They discovered the system can island from the utility during an outage, letting solar both power the house and charge the batteries at the same time, and the controller’s real‑time control of every microinverter under each panel makes the whole array unusually efficient — a capability they hadn’t seen with other brands. The installation was custom: REC400AA panels hidden on the flat section of the roof so they’re out of street view, the first row reverse‑tilted to face south, and a backup‑loads subpanel matched to the existing Cutler Hammer CH series main panel. What settled their nerves was the electrical craftsmanship — tidy conduit bends, carefully chosen connectors, code‑correct interconnections, and wall‑mounted equipment that looked deliberately neat. That attention to detail removed the biggest worry they had going in: the long‑term headaches a sloppy electrical job can cause. They liked the E10 batteries not just for capacity but for LFP cell‑to

James Alario spent weeks vetting five companies before picking Treepublic to install a residential solar array on his house, after two friends recommended them. He discovered the decision was easy once he met Ramsey, the owner, who walked him through system options, warned him off unnecessary extras, and never pushed upgrades. Treepublic handled all the city permits up front, and the paperwork moved faster than he expected. The crew then spent three full days on the roof — installing, double-checking connections, and cleaning up — and he appreciated how hardworking and courteous they were. He singled out Chad and Rico for knowing the system inside and out and for always making time to answer questions both during and after the installation. More than a year later, the system still performs like the day it was turned on, and after heavy rains he crawled into the attic with a flashlight and found the roof completely dry — a concrete sign the job was done right.
This homeowner had a handful of panels that had been on the roof for about seven years and decided to upgrade just before an April program-change cutoff. They contracted with Treepublic and worked closely with Sean, who walked them through the options and the timeline in detail. Treepublic added two more panels and installed an Enphase battery, completing the project in a hectic window to beat the program deadline. Months after the install a power outage prompted questions about how the battery would behave; Shad stayed available, walked them through the battery functions, and clarified what to expect. The difference that stuck with them was the ongoing personal access to the same knowledgeable people during the tight install and long afterward when they needed help.
Barbara R. had Tree Public install solar panels on her home nearly five years ago and has run them trouble-free ever since. She ended up with a reliable system and an installation crew that stayed unusually attentive — answering questions and returning calls quickly. When a recent question about her DWP usage popped up, the team phoned her back immediately; that prompt follow-up on a utility concern is the detail that made the experience stand out for her.
After interviewing several companies, Kev E. chose Treepublic for a residential solar install and found the entire process—from the initial bid through permitting, installation and the finished system—ran very smoothly. He experienced a responsive, supportive staff and reliable equipment, and whenever questions or concerns came up the company stood by both the installation and the materials. Years after the original install he continued to receive prompt support, which reinforced that the relationship didn’t end at sign-off. What stuck with him was that Treepublic paired a tidy, low-friction installation process with dependable aftercare—so problems got addressed rather than deferred.
Kelly M. spent more than a year researching solar before choosing Treepublic to install panels on her house — what clinched it was that Treepublic uses only on‑staff crews, so every phase of the job was handled by their own employees rather than subcontractors. She found the market cluttered with confusing options (renting, leasing, financing, reselling) and companies operating under multiple names, but Treepublic kept the process straightforward and accountable. They discovered Treepublic also recommended a top local roofer, James Robertson, a 40‑year pro who had fixed a leak on her roof that three others couldn’t touch. That referral reinforced her confidence: Treepublic not only keeps installs in‑house but connects customers to reliable specialists when needed. On cost, Treepublic stayed clear and competitive. Kelly watched other bids include wild claims — one quote ran $30,000 higher than the rest and came with hard‑to‑believe stories — while Treepublic’s proposal was transparent. Simon, the sales rep, patiently answered questions for over a year as she compared options, and Omar, who runs the company, came across as straightforward and trustworthy. Even after install, they
Craig interviewed several solar companies before picking one to install a system on his ranch-style house about a year ago, and he ended up with more than just panels. Omar and his crew not only put the solar array on smoothly and professionally, they also tackled a difficult EV outlet install—the garage sat far from the electrical box, but they completed the run and wired the charger as a bonus. He bought an EV after the work and now uses it heavily, while the solar system has run flawlessly for a year. His electric bills dropped by roughly $150–$200 a month, he’s seen several zero bills over the last four months, and right now he even has a credit on his DWP account. Omar stayed available long after Craig paid in full, answering questions and offering trusted advice and referrals for other home projects. What stuck with him most was the combination of skilled problem-solving—like that long EV outlet run—and ongoing personal support, plus the tangible payoff of months with zero bills and a DWP credit.
Bill had a solar system installed on his home years ago, and when the original installer disappeared he came across Omar. Omar stepped in with clear, knowledgeable guidance and hands-on help, which mattered because the older system had no reliable point of contact. He appreciated that Omar showed up and took responsibility — exactly the kind of installer who will be there if something goes wrong — and wishes he'd known about him sooner. From now on, he plans to call Omar for any future service or repairs.
Three years ago rceldib bought solar equipment from Treepublic to install on a patio cover and discovered the company did far more than just ship parts. They guided him through every technical question and walked him through the city planning paperwork, offering hands-on support that went well beyond a typical equipment sale. When he returned months later to add a battery backup and 12 panels on top of his shed, he wasn’t comfortable doing the roof work himself, so Treepublic stepped in, completed the install quickly, and charged a very reasonable price. The real proof came after the December installation: the area endured tremendous winds and heavy rains, and the panels held steady with no issues and no leaks into the shed. The standout detail that stuck with him was the combination of DIY-friendly guidance on permits and the company’s dependable, weatherproof installation.
