They suggest regular cleaning will help keep performance on track. I am still skeptical, but I will do this and keep track of the system production monthly to see whether or not it's going to meet the guaranteed minimum production. I truly hope my solar system would performed as they claimed; I would be happy just to get the guaranteed minimum production. I updated my rating back to 5 Stars based on their cooperation in addressing the issues reasonably fair.

Here is my journey from start to finish--and why I'm extremely happy with the result:…read more Initial Consultation: Ish recommended a design that allowed me to install more solar panels than what other vendors proposed. His approach required a small modification that no other vendor had ever mentioned, and it made a meaningful difference in system capacity. Design Phase: Ish and his team were incredibly flexible in accommodating my specific preferences for how the panels should be grouped and connected to each Tesla Powerwall 3. We held several conference calls with their technician and architect to review and validate the design, and they were consistently willing to collaborate and adjust based on my input. Installation Experience: The installation itself was much quicker than I expected. The longest part of the process was simply waiting for the Tesla Powerwall 3 units which was a Tesla supply delay, not theirs. Rebate Assistance: They also helped me secure a rebate that I wasn't even aware of, which was a great added bonus. Overall: Ish and his crew went above and beyond. I've done extensive research on how to fully maximize the Tesla Powerwall 3, and through my conversations with them, I was able to clearly confirm their technical expertise and confidence in delivering a high-quality installation. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Meeting the Dec. 31 deadline for tax credit was of utmost importance to us, and despite it adding a…read morelot of anxiety to this project, California Solar and Electric came through with their promise to get it done, and with time to spare. Their quote, plus their high reviews made them the logical choice, and we have no regrets. From the person who did the site inspection, Jose, to the installers, everyone seemed very friendly, respectful of our property/wishes, and it was clear they were experienced and knew what they were doing. Being up against a deadline, we really couldn't afford to fail the city inspection, and we passed easily. Thanks to the salesman Mark Howe for his direction, & to Henry Melling for a great design and implementation. We were not excited at the idea of having all that stuff on the side of our house, but honestly, the installation was so neatly done, with a few plants added over there, I'm sure we can acclimate. The battery placement in the garage was genius -- up and out of our way! Everything is functioning as it should, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend California Solar & Electric. THANKS to them for a job well done, and ON TIME!! We couldn't be happier.

Disappointing Service and Zero Follow-Through…read more On March 12, 2024, we contacted California Solar Electric (CSE) because our solar system failed. A technician named Roy diagnosed the issue as a failed inverter. We paid $4,730.87 for a replacement, which was installed on April 24. Just two months later, the system failed again. On July 1, CSE said the system had simply been unplugged, a questionable diagnosis since there was no reason for someone to do that and our roof can only be accessed by ladder. The system failed again on November 13. Roy came out on January 24, 2025, got it running again, but didn't explain what he did. When the system failed yet again on February 17, I called CSE and spoke with Chris, the only helpful person at CSE, who said a technician would follow up. Since then, I've called five more times, speaking with either Chris or another tech, Josh. Each time I'm told someone will get back to me. No one ever does. After paying nearly $5,000, I would expect reliable service and timely communication. Instead, I've experienced recurring system failures, and no accountability or follow-through from CSE. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for professional and dependable solar servicing.

Brighten Solar is one of the best companies I've ever come across. The folks there are reliable,…read morefriendly, professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. They're truly an outstanding local company, that has the efficiency and experience of a global company. When we were exploring solar earlier this year, we received three bids from different companies, and decided on Brighten given other customers' reviews and experience, competitive pricing, reliable communication, and deep expertise in solar. They did not disappoint. Everything was streamlined and clear. Cash was there with a handshake and a promise at the start, and end. Kyle stepped foot on our property, assessed all needs of our project, and continued communication throughout the entire project. Lea supported throughout in friendly, reliable communication, while capturing seriously pro drone shots of our finished project. Daniel, Quentin, and Spencer were amazing when the time came to put those beautiful panels on our home, making trapeze artists blush with their balance and hard work. Finally, Jeremy, Marine, and Ben were also amazing help throughout the entire process. If you're lucky enough to live in the area Brighten Solar operates, I would highly recommend not wasting your time searching elsewhere - these guys are the best. A truly socially- and environmentally-focused business putting the customer first.

I was impressed with their customer…read moreservice, communication, and reputation, but we were not ready to proceed with installation at that time. A few months ago, we decided to move forward with installing a 13.4 KW solar system. Imperial Solar was fair and transparent during the evaluation, and efficient and detail-oriented throughout the installation. The crew arrived on time and left the area clean. The system was installed professionally and looks excellent. Since our meter change, our bill has decreased by 80%, even during winter. We look forward to seeing our savings in the summer. We are very satisfied with Imperial Solar and highly recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

Brian from their team responded quickly and handled the issue from start to finish. He was able to get the system fully up and running again and was communicative throughout the entire process. When you go solar, it's easy to focus only on the initial installation and not think much about long-term support. I was really pleased to see that Imperial stood behind their work/product and helped ensure our system is still running well years after the initial purchase.

We had a terrible experience with this company. The sales process (predictably) went smoothly…read more However, the sales rep completely dropped off all communications immediately following contract signing. We had several questions that remained unanswered and no clear rep assigned to our project. We were also told AFTER contract signing and paying a deposit that we would have to spend an additional 40k on getting our roof replaced as their solar tiles would not be able to be installed on our roof. This was never mentioned during the sales process or in the proposal. I tried to follow up several times and ask questions about why no one communicated this to us and never received a response from a single person, except some random lady whom we had never spoken to before who informed us that we wouldn't get our refund back due to their policy. Horrible customer service, not at all upfront about their process, and poor communication to say the least. Would give zero stars if I could.

I can't praise Neri enough! My old roof had two existing layers and desperately needed to be…read morestripped down and completely redone. Neri went above and beyond by sending detailed videos from atop the roof (no way was I climbing up there myself!). He clearly explained all the problem areas and exactly what needed to be done. He provided a fast, transparent quote and was able to order materials and start the job within just two weeks. Throughout the entire process, Neri's communication was outstanding--he kept me fully informed every step of the way, including when unexpected issues arose. The damage turned out to be worse than initially thought, requiring replacement of significantly more rotten plywood and fascia boards. Once again, he sent videos detailing the problems and the additional costs involved, so there were no surprises. I especially appreciated that Neri was right up there on the roof working alongside his crew. They put in long, hard days and got the job done efficiently and with great care. One fantastic suggestion from Neri was to replace my ancient, unsightly turbine vents with modern O'Hagin low-profile, ember-resistant vents. Living in a fire-prone area, this upgrade adds real peace of mind and protection--plus, they look sleek and modern. The finished roof exceeded my expectations in every way. I've already received so many compliments from neighbors! Thank you, Neri, for your expertise, honesty, and hard work! Signed, a very happy and satisfied customer.

I called for an estimate which cost $200. That initially threw me but it's absolutely worth it as he does a thorough inspection and I would rather pay to know that it's done right! He was at my home within a couple of hours and what he told me was exactly in line with what the home inspection guy told me when I bought my home down to the last detail. No BS whatsoever and his quote was very competitive. I immediately felt comfortable with everything. Of course he credited the $200 to the cost of the job and we scheduled him to start about 10 days later. Then, about 2 days later a big rainstorm was scheduled to hit Ventura and dump a couple of inches of rain. I called Neri that morning and before I could even speak he said he was just about to call me and that he was heading over with some material to patch the exposed cracks and loose vents on my dilapidated roof to make SURE I would get through the storm without any leaks. He showed up in an hour and took care of it. AMAZING. My roof is about 1500 square feet and they had to remove 2 previous layers of shingles and replace everything. I wasn't stalking them but I happened to be home and working on my house as well and I spent a good amount of time watching them work. They pulled every single old nail and replaced every single flashing, valley, and vent, and placed every shingle PERFECTLY using quality materials. Very efficient and very professional. They showed up on time, worked hard (in a 100 degree heat wave), and had it done in 2 days as promised. It should be mentioned also that Neri is really just a very nice, decent guy and that his crew was really good-natured and respectful, and they worked with a smile the whole time. They were meticulous with cleaning up every last scrap of fallen material, cleaning gutters. and leaving my home and roof looking sparkling new. The quality of work is impeccable. Love these guys!
