Vibe Solar reviews

The Verdict
Vibe Solar delivers solid installations backed by unusually attentive reps. We found reps checking in on customers years after installation, one sending a production recap 12 months post-sale just to see how the system was performing. Another noticed a customer had lost monitoring connectivity three years in and personally delivered a WiFi extender to fix it. That level of follow-through showed up in 224 mentions of post-sale support, with just 22 complaints. The workmanship holds up too. One customer ran a system through sustained 45 mph desert winds for three years before a single panel rattled loose, and the installer came back at no charge to add more clamps. But we noticed gaps where top-tier installers set the bar higher. Vibe doesn't publish equipment specs upfront, so you'll need to ask which panels and inverters you're actually getting. The company operates regionally rather than nationally, which limits your options if you're outside their service area.
If you want an installer who'll still pick up the phone years after your system goes live, Vibe Solar is a safe bet. You'll sacrifice some transparency on equipment choices, but you gain a rep who remembers your name.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
POPCat wanted a straightforward residential solar install and asked for Rick V — who turned out to be refreshingly honest and delivered a very good price. They watched him keep the schedule and communication tight throughout the process, and he came back for a hands-on walk-through immediately after the panels went up. A year later Rick sent a surprise production recap, which prompted this review and left them feeling genuinely looked after long after the sale. There have been no issues since installation, and they run the air conditioning without worrying about power. The detail that sticks: the installer’s follow-up a year on — not just the install itself, but the ongoing care shown by that production summary.
Simon Griffith waited almost three years before writing about life with his Vibe Solar system. He discovered the panels themselves never gave him trouble, but when he changed his home Wi‑Fi the system had lost its connection to the Enlighten monitoring app. Joey reached out, passed along the support number, and when an internet extender proved necessary he went out of his way to deliver one so Simon could get the app back online and track production and usage again. The hands‑on follow-up made him feel like more than a sale — Vibe and Joey treated him like part of their “vibe” family. Having shopped around first, he found Vibe beat competitors on price, quality, and quick post‑installation responses. The practical payoff for his desert home: he can keep the AC at 65 degrees day and night for a fraction of the cost without losing visibility into the system. What stuck with him was that small, decisive bit of service — Joey bringing the extender and restoring monitoring — which kept the system useful and economic long after installation (he also liked that the company is veteran‑owned—Go Navy!).
Ronnie A. chose Vibe Solar in 2022 for a 10-kW REC AlphaPure array — 25 panels at 400 W each — mounted to a standing-seam metal roof on a property that also has a wind turbine in a very high-wind area. He ended up with a system that has run almost flawlessly: on sunny days it produces roughly 40–60 kWh depending on the season, and the array has generated more than 65 MWh to date, cutting the household electric bill by about $5,000 a year and on track to pay for itself within a few years. From the start the installation felt solid. Richard Vermulien and Mike the installer took care of the design and roof work, and Ronnie credits their craftsmanship with the array’s durability in extreme weather. The most memorable moment came in fall 2025, when sustained winds and gusts — Ronnie captured video of the turbine furling in 45 mph sustained winds with gusts to 60 mph — loosened one panel. Mike returned a few weeks later, added extra clamps and specialty "UFO" screws, and secured the rogue panel before it could blow free. Vibe handled that service at no charge. What sticks is the combination of strong production numbers and hands-on follow-up: a high-output REC system installed on a t

What You Can Expect
Joe R. made what he considers the best decision for his desert home when he had Vibe Solar install a system in 2019. Before that, summer SCE bills were a nightmare; six years later he’s still running his swamp cooler nonstop and landing at roughly $0 most months. The array has needed zero maintenance since switch-on and has already generated more than 35.5 MWh of energy. The standout of the whole experience was Alan, the salesperson: he took time to understand how the family uses power, designed a perfectly sized system (no oversell, no undersell), guided Joe through every step from contract to PTO, and continues to pick up the phone years later to answer questions. The install crew moved quickly, left the site clean, and met every promised deadline, and Joe admits he’s hooked on watching production climb in the Enphase app. Six years on, the concrete takeaway is simple — reliable, maintenance-free production (35,500+ kWh) and a salesperson who still helps you after the sale.
After buying her house, Sarah M. spent many hours researching solar and ultimately chose Vibe Solar for the installation. She found the team professional and informative from the first consultation through installation, and their pricing felt fair — so much so that her monthly loan/installment payments ended up lower than her old electric bills. Vibe walked her through the tax rebate process and helped secure the appropriate credits, which removed a lot of hassle and lowered the net cost. She also appreciated their referral program and encouraged friends to mention her name when they reach out. Going on five years with the system, she considers it the best investment she’s made in the home: ongoing savings on energy costs, help capturing rebates, and solid performance over time.
Juan hired Vibe Solar to add new panels and Tesla batteries to a home that already had a working Sunrun system. The project began in 2024 with an initial proposal, then the company went quiet for months. They reappeared in December, but Juan canceled because his daughter was about to be born — a delay that stemmed from Vibe’s lack of communication. When they restarted the job in 2025, it still crawled: from May until July he waited for a final proposal. Vibe scheduled the install and repeatedly promised the system would be producing immediately after their work — a critical point because they disconnected his existing Sunrun system to route power to the new batteries. Installation happened on July 17, yet the panels didn’t produce again until mid‑November. That left him with roughly three months of zero solar output during peak production season. His monthly electric bill jumped from about $300 to nearly $1,000, on top of a $320/month loan payment for the new equipment. Juan dug into the cause and uncovered the core failure: Vibe never filed the required application for the meter collar, the one component SDG&E must install. The company spent months blaming SDG&E, but he learned SD
