Wise Solar reviews

After comparing several solar companies in north county San Diego, osideharborrat chose Wise Solar to install a home solar array and battery because they matched competitors on price and offered a technical edge that appealed to him and his wife. He found Andrew able to answer every question and to explain battery options in more detail than other salespeople. During installation the crew impressed him with tidy, professional workmanship — the thing that stuck out was how every conduit running from his red tile roof down to the electrical boxes was painted to match the roof and coral stucco, so the system blends into the house instead of looking bolted on. While designing the system they decided to upgrade the service from a 100‑amp to a 200‑amp main to handle the new equipment and future needs like an EV or pool; Wise Solar ripped out the old box, installed the new one and re‑stuccoed the area all in a single day. The team also handled all coordination with the city and SDG&E, which kept the project moving smoothly. Concerned about direct sun on the south‑facing wall, he bought an inexpensive shade attachment and the installer, Mike, immediately offered to cover the purchase with,

Anne W. hired Wise Solar to put panels on her home and discovered a level of patience and professionalism that stood out from the start. She appreciated that the team spent as much time as necessary to make sure she understood the system, felt comfortable with the number of panels, and knew what to expect throughout the process. The installation itself moved forward seamlessly, with no delays, installers who respected her schedule, and careful coordination with a roofer so there were no surprises. Unlike a neighbor who dealt with HOA, inspection, and hookup headaches, Anne’s project finished without a hitch. After the install, Andrew responded promptly to any questions, so she still has a reliable contact when something comes up. The detail that stuck with her: the crew’s coordination and the quick post-install support turned what can be a stressful project into a smooth, well-managed experience.

Triad47 decided to take the leap into solar in July 2019 after roughly two years of weighing the idea. They worked with Wise Solar and, in particular, Andrew and his crew, who stayed communicative and friendly from the outset and never applied pressure. Andrew tailored the plan around the family’s needs and shepherded the process smoothly, leaving them very pleased with both the outcome and the experience. What stuck with them most was the easy, no-pressure communication—enough to turn a long-held consideration into a confident purchase.

Kyler commissioned a complicated solar installation for his house that required trenching across the front yard to run new conduit and upgrade the electrical panel. The work stretched over several months as LADWP introduced repeated setbacks and delays, but the crew stayed the course and completed the job despite the permit and scheduling headaches. The project involved real yard disruption and a lot of coordination, yet he ended up with a functioning system. Two years later the panels are still performing reliably — they continue to work great.

Matt had a complicated project: a 23-panel system split between a garage and a two-story clay-tile house, and nearly three years later he hasn’t had a single problem. Andrew and his crew coordinated with inspectors, repaired every displaced tile, and even installed a subpanel when the inspector required it so the system would pass without delays. They secured both SCE and city sign-offs, left a tidy, professional installation across two roofs, and showed up on the schedule they promised. The paperwork and handover stood out — detailed documentation plus drone photos of the finished array that went beyond what he expected. The details that linger: every tile fixed, a fully signed-off install, and a photo record that makes the whole project feel finished and transparent.

RM F. hired the company to install solar on their home and quickly started seeing lower electricity bills. They highlighted Andrew and his crew as fantastic — the installers worked carefully and left a neat, professional result. More than the savings, RM was struck by how much pride the team took in their work; that attention to detail felt rare and memorable. The lasting impression: meticulous craftsmanship alongside real, ongoing savings on energy costs.

Paul L. hired the team to install a 20-panel rooftop system — REC panels paired with Enphase inverters — and ended up with a system that works exactly as promised. He faced a complicated install that other companies had passed on: the electrical panel needed upgrading and a new conduit and wire had to be run, which meant digging a trench across his front yard and navigating a stack of permits. The utility side of the job dragged out, as LADWP moved slowly and the hookup stretched into months. Through that runaround the crew stayed responsive, pushed to accelerate approvals where they could, and actively pulled together subcontractors to handle the trenching and the electrical hookup. They completed the work at a very competitive price, and to make up for the lengthy utility delays they even added extras at no charge. He singled out Andrew, Mike, Christina and their team for taking on the job others avoided and for compensating for the months-long LADWP holdup.

Ryan H. booked a residential rooftop solar install and discovered the crew completed the installation and hookup quickly and professionally, guiding him through every step. He found the installers efficient and confident, and the on-site work left no complaints. He ran into a separate problem with his utility—SCE switched systems in April and created a processing backlog—so even though his system was installed and connected, his account still hadn’t been processed after three months and he continued paying for electricity; he expects it could take another three months. Because of that timing issue, he weighs the benefit of locking in the 30% tax credit now against the risk of a months-long delay before seeing bill savings. The detail that sticks: flawless, fast installation paired with a potential up-to-six-month wait for your utility to reflect those savings if you’re with SCE.

Jasmin M. picked Wise Solar about six months ago after interviewing ten companies and ended up with a residential solar system that exceeded her expectations. She discovered their blend of technical knowledge, fast responses and professional staff set them apart — and their price was the most competitive she received. The installation arrived on schedule, was completed quickly and looked professional. When the pool pump stopped working afterward, she phoned Mike; he showed up right away and had the problem fixed in minutes. The detail that stuck with her was the responsiveness — a same-day visit and a minute-long repair turned what could have been a lingering issue into nothing more than a brief inconvenience.
