Best Solar Installers

Inland Empire

Gold Coast Solar executes clean installs but drops the ball after sign-off. One customer called them twice in four years: once to fix a Tesla charger housing, again when a SolarEdge inverter died. They showed up within 24 hours both times and processed the warranty replacement without hesitation. An

Calzona Solar is a reliable installer for hands-on homeowners who value price and quality work over polish. We found an owner who shows up early, completes installs in a day when other contractors dragged on for months, and coordinates directly with roofers to flash every roof penetration properly.

Pell Solar is a safe bet if you're willing to trade some polish for lower prices. We analyzed their track record and found a clear divide: long-term customers describe years of steady performance and fast warranty service, while a handful of 2024 installs detail months-long troubleshooting battles o

KCD Electric is one of the fastest-responding electrical contractors we've seen. In the reviews we analyzed, 29 customers mentioned same-day or next-day service, including one who called five competitors stuck on 4–6 week waits and had KCD troubleshoot a dead solar inverter in two days.

TR Construction is a safe bet for roofs and remodels, but you'll pay a little more than the cheapest bid. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a company that shows up on time, finishes what it starts, and stands behind the work years later. One homeowner called TR three years after a bathroom r

Pacific Pro Solar Group won't chase you down with high-pressure sales tactics, and they won't ghost you after the install either—at least not most of the time. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a team that treats solar like straightforward electrical work, not a commission-driven upsell. One h

Champion Electric earned consistent praise for professional residential work, but two customer complaints about staff behavior stand out. One reviewer watched a company truck tailgate others on the freeway and nearly cause accidents. Another photographed employees parking in three handicap spots to

Hale Electric fixed problems for free that other contractors would have billed hundreds for. We found two separate cases where technicians arrived, diagnosed an issue the homeowner had overestimated, and walked away without charging a cent. That kind of integrity shows up in the work quality metrics

Solar Vast earns high marks for installation speed and initial service, but a pattern of abandoned customers raises serious concerns.

We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a consistent pattern: homeowners report electric bills dropping from $350+ per month to zero, with some customers receiving hundreds of doll

We analyzed dozens of reviews and found strong workmanship (13 reviewers praised installation quality with zero complaints), yet recurring issues with sales conduct and post-installation support e

Elbac Solar's installs often go smoothly, but serious problems can spiral without resolution. One homeowner paid over $30,000 for a system that failed to generate power for nearly two years, then got hit with a $2,833 utility bill when a faulty antenna went unnoticed. Another customer's installation

Current Home has a communication problem. We analyzed thousands of reviews and found a company where your experience depends entirely on which rep you get.

EPX Group's install crews earn consistent praise, but the office creates problems that undermine the field work. In one case, a homeowner called for warranty help on a two-year-old project and a full repair crew arrived at no charge with zero pushback. That's the upside. The downside surfaces when y

We found a troubling split: older reviews celebrate fast installs and friendly service, while recent customers report vanishing acts when systems break. One homeowner called daily for weeks during the rainy season just to fix a roof leak from

Devil Dog Energy has serious credibility problems. One reviewer alleges the company placed an invalid lien on their property after they canceled, blocking a refinance.
