The Verdict

Vince Sigal Electric handles solar installs competently but won't wow you. We found no disasters in their work, just solid execution: one homeowner mentioned a full install wrapped in a week including city permits and PG&E coordination, another praised clean panel work completed in two days. The company earned consistent marks for workmanship (10 positive mentions, 1 negative) and follow-up support (8 positive, 1 negative). Where they stand out is emergency response. A winery manager called at 10 PM on a Saturday after his high-voltage grid failed mid-crush season. Vince arrived in 30 minutes, had the facility running on generator power by 11:30 PM, and replaced the transformer the next day. The flip side: they also employ a driver who cracked a customer's windshield doing 95 MPH on I-5, then flipped them off when confronted. (PG&E trusts them to fix grid failures. Apparently highway etiquette is optional.) For solar specifically, we saw clear communication during sales, right-sized system proposals based on actual usage history, and thorough permitting work. What's missing: any evidence they'll compete aggressively on price or bring innovative tech to the table.

If you need an electrician who'll show up at midnight to keep your business running, they're proven. For straightforward solar, you'll get clean work and good project management, but shop around on price first.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Burt L.
YelpAug 1, 2016

Burt L. shopped six quotes and picked a Solar World system installed by Vince Sigal Electric. Jason took the time to walk him through every question, teaching him the basics of solar and how PG&E net‑metering would work for his setup. Permits and PG&E net‑metering cleared within a week, and the crew completed the physical installation in two days—professional, tidy, and respectful of the property. He walked away most impressed by how smoothly the permitting and net‑metering were handled and by the clear, patient explanations from Jason, and recommends Vince Sigal Electric for buyers who want a fast, well‑organized install.

Tom T.
YelpOct 27, 2018

Tom manages a large industrial complex with multiple custom‑crush tenants, and during the height of crush season their private high‑voltage power grid started failing, threatening a significant loss of business. In a panic he called Vince Sigal Electric at 10:00 PM on a Saturday; Vince arrived by 10:30 and his crew followed shortly after. They diagnosed the fault and had the site running on generator power by 11:30 PM, then returned the next day to replace a malfunctioning transformer. Since that emergency intervention they’ve taken over annual maintenance of the private grid, and he hasn’t seen any further outages. The detail that stands out: a midnight emergency response that restored power within 90 minutes and then fixed the underlying hardware the next day, preventing what could have been major operational losses.

Joey O.
YelpNov 18, 2013

Joey O. moved into a new house with a handful of random electrical issues and hired the company to sort them out. Alan showed up, fixed everything efficiently, and a few days later a light he’d repaired went out — Alan came right back and they discovered a roof leak dripping into the fixture, a problem left by the previous owner. When the invoice arrived, confusing line items and stalled email exchanges with an accountant created frustration; the accountant stopped replying, so he called again and reached someone else who listened, understood the billing background, and worked with him. The company ultimately agreed to waive the return visit fee — an $85 saving — even though they didn’t have to, which felt like they were looking out for him given the unexpected roof issue. He wouldn’t hesitate to call them back for future problems.

What You Can Expect

Scott B.
YelpFeb 13, 2020

Scott B. spent over six months researching residential solar and gathering multiple bids before choosing Vince Sigal Electric for his home. He found the whole process—from the initial proposal through final inspection—handled smoothly and professionally, with no hard sell. The team reviewed his PGE bills and sized a system to match his actual usage history rather than pushing extra capacity, and that pragmatic, tailored approach is what left him extremely happy. His lasting takeaway: a straightforward, data-driven design and an easy installation process that set Vince Sigal Electric apart.

Roger Y.
YelpAug 1, 2016

Roger hired Vince Sigal Electric to install a solar system and worked directly with Jason. He found Jason laid out the process clearly and the crew arrived prepared with all city permits and PG&E authorizations in hand. Because the paperwork was already sorted, there were no long waits and the installation moved smoothly from start to finish. What stayed with him was how ready the team was—everything was up and running exactly when they promised.
