Voltaic reviews

The Verdict
Voltaic has serious follow-through problems. Reviews show a pattern: attentive sales reps disappear after you sign, leaving you chasing phantom owners and missed city inspections for months. One customer in Hesperia signed in January and waited until September with the system still not running, calling the city inspector himself twice because the office kept providing wrong timeframes. Another had their Tesla battery installed in August but still no utility approval in January, with little communication from Voltaic during the four-month limbo. We found 67 mentions of solid workmanship and 16 reviewers praised install crews for leaving sites cleaner than they found them, so the physical work gets done well when crews actually show up. But 21 reviews describe poor follow-up, unresponsive project managers, and sales reps who go MIA post-contract. Even the positive reviews hint at trouble: one glowing September review about a smooth battery install was updated in January to note zero contact from Voltaic during months of utility gridlock.
If you want panels on your roof and can handle chasing down permits yourself, Voltaic's install crews do clean work. But if you expect the company that sold you the system to manage the approval process or stay reachable after installation, you'll likely be disappointed.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Trg hired Voltaic in September 2024 to install a Tesla solar storage battery on their Huntington Beach home. They ended up with a fully functional system that quickly began storing excess solar energy for use during peak demand and outages, cutting electricity costs and providing real backup power that brought genuine peace of mind. Voltaic's crew came across as professional, knowledgeable and courteous, walked them through the installation process and its limitations, and completed the work quickly with minimal disruption to daily life. By January 25, 2025 — about four months after the install — they still hadn’t received approval from SCE. The city of Huntington Beach had taken months to sign off, and SCE continued to review the permit and installation for months more; during that stretch communication from Voltaic largely dried up. The memorable upside was a reliable battery that does what it promised; the clear caution is to expect potential multi-month permitting and utility-review delays and to be prepared to follow up for updates while those approvals are pending.
Miguel signed a contract for a home solar installation at the beginning of the year expecting the job to be finished quickly — the installer promised 45 days — but by September the system still wasn’t operating. He discovered communication collapsed between management, field crews, and the office: Clark Manwaring, who initially claimed to be a part owner, promised a fast turnaround and then, after a couple of months, stopped taking calls and replied only by text, often saying he was in meetings or interviews. Inspections with the city became a running disaster: appointments were missed, required corrections weren’t completed when inspectors showed up, and the company repeatedly failed to schedule or coordinate inspection windows properly. More than once he ended up calling the city himself in front of the technician and booking the inspector’s slot directly because the crew couldn’t get accurate information from the office. After persistent complaints Bryce Felkner called and also claimed to be part owner, then later told Miguel he no longer worked for the company; reaching Bryce after that proved pointless and appointments continued to be missed. The office would give broad, wrong
Omar P. trusted the company to install a solar system on his father’s home in Hesperia, CA and ended up frustrated. He expected the panels to lower monthly costs, but discovered that despite the company’s promise of about 20% more power output, the Southern California Edison bill still ran over $40 each month — on top of a new loan payment for the installation — so the household’s overall bill actually increased. After the crew left, the salesperson Carlos Cruz disappeared and stopped answering his father’s calls; a few months went by before they learned the actual service provider was a different company, Nexus, and that Nexus has an app the family was never shown even after repeatedly asking. Omar also found the sales process heavy-handed: the company pulled credit before giving any pricing figures and insisted they couldn’t provide a quote or example payments for different credit scores (600, 700, 800, etc.), down payments, terms, APR scenarios, panel counts, or available tax breaks — information Omar says any buyer needs to evaluate a deal. What stuck with him was the mismatch between the promises and the outcome: higher monthly costs, a salesperson who went MIA, and no clear,w

What You Can Expect
Jason Jimenez installed solar a little over a year ago and found it to be the best decision he could have made. He relied on Chris, who stayed involved from start to finish and provided steady, practical help throughout the process. What stuck with him most was having that single, hands-on point of contact who kept the project moving and made the transition to solar straightforward.
Josh Gonzales, owner of Master Construction and a general contractor in Ventura County for more than 15 years, depends on trades that are dependable, knowledgeable and efficient—especially when solar installations and Title 24 compliance are part of new builds. He partnered with Melia King and the team at Voltaic Construction and discovered their command of building energy codes turned what often becomes a permit bottleneck into a solved problem. Melia’s Title 24 expertise shaved time off multiple projects and kept approvals clean, and the Voltaic crew moved faster than any other solar contractor he’d worked with. Their communication, workmanship and attention to detail smoothed inspections and kept job sites running efficiently. What stood out for him was how Voltaic combined speed, professionalism and integrity without cutting corners. The concrete takeaway: bringing Voltaic on early kept projects on schedule by avoiding delays tied to compliance and permitting.
Bijan shopped multiple bids for a rooftop solar system paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3 and landed on Voltaic Construction after weighing price and design. He found that Tesla offered the lowest price, but Voltaic came in close and delivered a system design Tesla couldn’t produce. Remy at Voltaic guided the project from first contact through every step, and the team stayed ahead of the schedule—moving from permit to full operation in about 45 days. He appreciated not having to worry about permits, delays, or the small details because the crews ran a tight, professional process. The standout detail that stuck with him was the custom design combined with that fast, predictable 45-day turnaround led by Remy.
