Best Solar Installers

Capitol Corridor

Element Electric

Element Electric delivers some of the best long-term solar support we've seen. We found a homeowner whose 10-year-old system still runs perfectly, with Andrew answering questions a decade after installation, and that same customer convinced six relatives to hire Element after watching how well it pe

Mirador Energy

Mirador Energy built our confidence with one decisive pattern: honest pricing and no-pressure sales. We analyzed dozens of reviews and couldn't find a single complaint about upselling, hidden fees, or bait-and-switch tactics. One homeowner met with nine solar companies over 40 hours before finding M

Sunny Creek Solar

We found a rare solar installer who actually answers the phone after the sale. Sunny Creek Solar handles everything from new system installation to pigeon-proofing panels, and reviewers across both services repeatedly mention the same thing: Oscar shows up when he says he will, sends before-and-afte

A&G Electric

A&G Electric is a solid local installer that won't wow you with a slick sales pitch, but will quietly deliver a well-built system at a fair price. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship or follow-up support, which puts them ahead of many regional competitors. One h

Living Brite

Living Brite earns a strong recommendation for turning a complicated decision into a surprisingly smooth experience. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found an installer where the sales process actually makes you feel more confident, not more confused. One homeowner who'd been stalling on solar for

Ambrose Solar

Ambrose Solar earned our top recommendation after we analyzed hundreds of reviews and found the kind of consistency most installers can't deliver. One homeowner returned to Ambrose for a second project after their first install in 2021 moved like clockwork, even when it required swapping out an enti

North Valley Solar Power

North Valley Solar Power delivers what most installers just promise: a fast, drama-free installation with a team that actually answers your questions. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found one homeowner who shopped for an entire year before choosing North Valley, then watched the company finish

Citadel handles the full install competently and stays involved after. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found consistent evidence of professional work and reliable follow-through, though not the standout performance that earns our top recommendation. One homeowner's system has produced $16,800 wo

Right Now Air & Solar is a safe choice if you value fast emergency response and honest maintenance checkups. We analyzed thousands of reviews and found this company excels at showing up quickly when you're sweating through a heatwave. One customer called on a Friday afternoon during 106-degree weath

Roofmasters is a solid pick for a full roof replacement, especially if you want a contractor who still answers the phone years later. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a company that treats routine work and decades-old callbacks with equal seriousness. One customer sold their house five year

Cozy Home Services fixes things fast and sends technicians who can actually explain what they're doing. One homeowner called on Christmas Eve with a dead heater and his wife recovering from surgery, and a tech showed up within 20 minutes, diagnosed the problem, and charged $49 instead of the $500 th

Electrify My Home is a safe bet for heat pump installations, but they shine brightest on complicated jobs. We analyzed reviews from homeowners who'd been turned away by other contractors, and the pattern was clear: this team solves problems most installers won't touch. Three companies told someone t

We analyzed dozens of reviews and found RW Solar struggles with basic follow-through after the sale. One homeowner paid $28,000 and waited eight months for paperwork submission to PG&E, with the owner 'too busy in the field' to respond. Another was promised bird netting to prevent pigeons five times

We cannot recommend Orange Solar. Two customers report losing a combined $46,500 after the company failed to complete installations and did not refund their deposits. One homeowner paid $24,000 for a system that had to be entirely reinstalled by another contractor. Another discovered the company's b

This company should not be on your list. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a pattern of catastrophic project failures and vanishing support once the contract is signed. One homeowner watched workers shoot nails through rotted decking that blew out the bottom of the eaves, then spent nine mon

Revolve Solar went bankrupt in 2016, leaving customers stranded without support. We found reviewers who installed panels over roof vents, which forced one homeowner to pay hundreds out of pocket to remove panels, fix leaks, and reinstall ventilation. Another customer discovered their system was gene

We found a company with strong installation crews but crippling support failures that can leave you paying for a broken system. One couple spent two years calling for a battery replacement, paying $200 a month for equipment that produced nothing while their electricity bills climbed back to $200 eac

V3 Electronic Components is not worth the risk. We found a company with broken billing systems, uncertified roof contractors, and door-to-door sales teams who ignore no-solicitation signs even during pandemic lockdowns. One homeowner paid in full and still received harassment calls for months from d
