They put in our solar 3 years ago (just found this draft review, whoops!). Fantastic job. On-time, cleaned up any mess, polite, the solar works fantastic. read more

We began interviewing solar companies early this year. After four presentations, Cosmic Solar and their representative, Ken Davami were the clear favorite. Cosmic does all their own work and this is important. They were able to schedule and install our system without kinks. Their installers and technicians were timely and competent. We are now generating clean energy and saving money. Thanks Ken and Cosmic! read more

I have nothing but good things to share about Cosmic solar. Mary was initial contact, who was very pleasant to work with. Ken, our solar consultant explained me various aspects of the projects. Him being an electrical engineer, he explained a about processes and the product in much more detail, which made me appreciate the engineering of SunPower and their efficiency (which for me translated to smaller panel size and more panels fitting on my roof in aesthetically pleasing way). Considering the superiority of the product his prices were very competitive. We also got some preventive work done on the roof. Ron and his man were wonderful and left site very clean. Arlene worked on scheduling of all aspects of projects and HOA. The installers were very courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. Entire experience was very very seamless. Would happily recommend Cosmic solar to anyone. read more

I live in an all electric house in an area where there are no gas lines, so I have been planning on getting solar for a few years now. But this year SDGE pushed me over the edge with their continuous rate raises, getting monthly bills, (winter and summer) exceeding $600.00, not to mention the complete overhaul of the metering rules in their favor. In January of 2023 I made the decision to find a reputable solar company. I went through the process of getting quotes, 5 in all. I went through many reviews, and got as many quotes. I decided to go with a smaller local company rather than the bigger national or regional companies because I had concerns about customer service and warranties. I had the pleasure of meeting with Ken Davami at my house, as opposed to being on Zoom, and he brought a binder with my personal solar system design printed, not sending me a bunch of pdfs in an e mail. Not only was their price quote competitive, but also that simple detail showed me that Cosmic Solar is a company with an emphasis on customer service, so I went with them. Ken put me right at the top of their installation schedule as soon as all the clearances and paper work were completed. In March they came to install in a short break in the weather, within 3 days the installation was finished with no complications. During the installation process I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of their installers. I not only got a 25 panel installation but also a back up battery, (Franklin), a system which works flawlessly. I get tons of free solar power in the day, and my house runs off the battery at night, I even charge my EV then with enough power to spare to get me through the next day. I think I owed SDGE $ 32.00 last bill. If you want a reputable local company with great warranties, who does everything in house: roofing, electrical design, no subcontracting, to install your solar system, Cosmic Solar is the way to go. read more

I researched solar solutions for a couple of months and met with 8 different solar companies. You could tell right away Cosmic set itself apart from the others. They didn't have pushy sales techniques and were focused on providing the right solution. They fully understood and explained the technology options well and their solution was the best value we found. The installation and application process was blazing fast. All hiccups were resolved immediately and they kept in contact with me for any questions rather than making assumptions. I highly recommend them. read more

There was a miscommunications on my previous comments and the owner and staffs resolved quickly. They do take issues seriously and tried to resolve quickly. Overall! They did a great job. They are very professional. They get things done quickly and price are good compare to most other solar companies. read more

We recently purchased our home in Vista, CA and after our first couple electric bills, we knew we wanted to do Solar so when Summer rolls back around, we aren''t sweating in our home but enjoying it. I work from home and my wife is a stay at home mother so comfort in our home is very important. I was referred to Cosmic Solar by my father who had solar installed on their home about 3 years ago and loved the experience. My experience was the same. From the Proposal to the finished product, the team at Cosmic was communicative and even pushed our installation up by 2 months. The installation took 3 days and the installers were even considerate with noise with my daughters nap time. They would plan their lunch and the not so noisy portions of the installation around her nap and couldn''t have been more easy to work with. The inspection finished today and Cosmic was completely awesome from day one to finished product. I am not getting paid for this review but simply think a company that provides quality service with personal care, deserves recognition. Great work Cosmic, you will be our customer again if we ever decide to move again. read more

Just got my system turned on. Cosmic Solar is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. Pure professionals from day one! No surprises! They show up on time, do their work quickly and efficiently, use quality materials and are well priced. The best! Highly recommended! read more

What a great experience with Comic Solar. Not only is the staff friendly, but they are knowledgeable and fast. Definitely would recommend them if u are looking for a solar company. Jose and Javier even wished me a happy birthday while here on the inspection day. read more

My hubby has been pestering me to "Go Solar" for quite some time now but I resisted because I'm a cheapskate and didn't want to spend the money so we all just suffered through the heat spells and cold snaps, rarely turning on heater or AC, you get the picture. Then I discovered that the cost had gone down considerably on solar sytems and that financing is available for no out of pocket cost. The monthly payment would be less than we are paying now for electric, no brainer, right? So we began the process of obtaining bids, we sought out 4 seperate companies and Cosmic Solar's quote was right in the middle. We decided to go with Cosmic due to the amazing warranty on the products they offered and the great reviews and boy am I glad I went with them. They installed our system last Tuesday and by Friday it was inspected and producing power, Yay! I couldn't be more pleased, the install team was incredible, so professional and polite, very clean installation, it looks great and functions flawlessly. If you are looking for solar give Ken Davami a call, 760-749-1111, he is a great guy and will answer any questions you can throw at him. Highly recommend this company. read more

Definitely agree with all the 5 star reviews here on Yelp. I obtained quotes from 3 companies and our requirement was that they could install both solar panels and pool solar thermal. Plus they had to use SunPower panels. Jose came out and met with us after hours for our initial quote, he was very knowledgeable, very well prepared and not pushy. Really awesome job. When it came time to install (after getting HOA approval), the team had to work around some rainy weather but they worked hard, stayed on schedule, kept the place clean and tidy and honestly we barely knew they were there. Just a few days later we were approved to turn the system on and start watching our energy bills go way down. Very happy with Cosmic Solar. read more

Cosmic Solar is The Best Company to install your solar energy. The techs who worked on the job were extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and explained things in a way I could understand. The whole installation only took a few days. They were very neat and cleaned up after they were finished. Jose, the initial contact, made things easy for us and together we designed a system that would work for us. Mary in the office was kept us informed every step of the way. Pey, the owner's son, stopped by many times to make sure everything was moving in the right direction. I appreciated the extra time he spent with us on the computer to be able to see the energy production of the panels. The whole company is very responsible and the quality of work exceptional. I highly recommend Cosmic Solar to everyone thinking about getting solar installation. The prices are reasonable. We are very satisfied. read more

Cosmic did a fantastic job for me. Had some installation questions and they came up with a perfect solution and design. Could not be more pleased with the work they did - on time and below budget. Now, here comes to the good part, I no longer have an electric bill. Instead of dreading the hot days and running the a/c and pool pump, I crank the AC down and enjoy with a smile! Only compaint, why didn't I do it sooner. read more

I live in Escondido and got price quotes from three different solar companies. The quotes were all in same ball park, but the Cosmic bid appeared to be the best, especially for the equipment that was specified. Also important to me was the Cosmic representative, Ken, who came to my house and presented me with two detailed options. I was very impressed with Ken's no pressure presentation, and he answered every question. On March 19, 2019 (Tuesday) Cosmic Solar installed a 4.4 kWp PV solar system on my residence roof. The panels consist of 12 each SunPower "X Series" panels. This makes up a nice 6 x 2 collector rectangle, all on the same roof slope. In one day the complete system was installed and verified operational. The craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. For example, the conduit coming down the side of my house is painted white where my house is white and brown where conduit crosses the brown house trim. The construction crew was courteous, explained the process, and did not mind spending time answering my questions. Everything happened like Javier said it would. He and the Escondido city inspector came Friday and completed the inspection. That day Javier connected my computer to the SunPower monitoring application which gives me real time data on power output and summaries. As Javier said would happen, on the following Monday I got an email from SDGE stating that they issued me a PTO (permission to operate). Cosmic Solar did all of the communications with the city and SDGE. In one week the system was installed, inspected, and permitted. So, the system is now putting out power as specified, and everything happened exactly as they said, in one week. I am very happy with my solar installation. I highly recommend Cosmic Solar.

Yea, these guys are legit. When researching solar companies, I was struggling with ether choosing one of the major companies, or one of the smaller ones that haven't been around for decades. Before choosing Cosmic, I sat down with three solar companies: two major ones, and Cosmic. In the end I chose Cosmic and I have no regrets whatsoever. They are fast, efficient, quick to e mail/answer my calls (shout out to Mary at the front desk over there), and their service technicians are extremely smart and knowledgable (shout out to Jose over there). I know there are a lot of choices when looking into solar. Do your research, weigh your options and know that Cosmic is an excellent, reliable, top notch choice. Not to mention they give a great deal for the amazing products they offer! Rock on Cosmic Solar and thanks -Happy Customer read more

With very professional and expert staff, Cosmic Solar offered exactly what we needed. Very happy with the service which we received through the installation of solar panels at our house. Unbeatable price. read more

From start to finish Cosmic Solar was awesome. They gave us all the costs with options, no hidden fees. The workers arrived on time as scheduled, were polite, cleaned up after themselves and finished the job on schedule. We did have some type of error code on one of our inverters. I called, they were at my house within a couple hours and at 8:00 the next morning they were here installing the new inverter. I would highly recommend Cosmic Solar for you Solar needs. Great prices, very competitive. read more

We talked to a few solar companies before deciding on going with Cosmic Solar. Although they weren't the cheapest, we talked to our friends that went with Cosmic Solar and they had nothing but great things to say about them plus we wanted to support our local companies.The whole process from start to finish was smooth. Ken, Mary, Joel and Pey were always there to answer all the questions we had. They are very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this company to anyone who is thinking of getting solar. read more

I knew that I wanted a high quality solar system and my research lead me to believe that SunPower was right at the top. Ken at Cosmic had worked with my aunt and uncle, and my mother to design and install systems that they are very happy with, so I knew I wanted to get a quote from Cosmic. I also got two other quotes from two other very highly rated companies. Cosmic's bid came in at the middle of the three, but all three were very competitive. The reason I decided to go with Cosmic was because I knew from the work that they had done for my relatives that I could trust and rely on them. The process was very well organized and Cosmic was always in communication with me and was always very responsive and available. Cosmic took care of everything from submitting the plans to the county to jumping through the hoops to get the permit. The work they did was impeccable. The team that came to actually install the system was very professional, courteous, and friendly. The work was completed on time and they left the house and surrounding area clean and organized when they left each day. All in all, there isn't a single thing I could have wished to be different. I am 100% satisfied with Cosmic and would recommend them to anyone. read more

I researched five companies and interviewed three companies. Wading through the differences for solar can be mind-boggling. Super impressed with the easy to understand manner that the owner displayed while meeting with me. Not only was his price better than the other systems but they installed everything in just a few days. We purchased home solar and pool solar. We had one discrepancy with the pool solar portion but they corrected it to our satisfaction immediately. This is an honorable company and I'm so pleased to recommend them. From the office staff to the construction crew to management everyone was polite and professional. They came highly recommended and I'm happy to add my name to that list. read more

It has been over a year since our solar panels have been installed. Everything has been working great! Our true-up electric bill for the year was less than $100! We are thrilled with the results and were delighted with our experience working with everyone at Cosmic Solar. It has been a great investment in our home for the future. Thank you for such outstanding customer service!! read more

We had our solar system installed last December, and the company did an excellent job. From our consultant Ken, to project manager Pey, and the admin ladies, the whole process was very pleasant and timely. In fact, they accommodated our request to finish earlier based on family reasons. We had compared many different companies, did our our search and decided that Cosmic Solar provided the best value and unmatched customer service! read more

I have had my Cosmic Solar system installed for over 2 years now and the system works great. The Cosmic Solar staff are customer focused and very competitively priced. The installation was done in a timely and professional manner. I had a panel fail recently and they had the problem diagnosed and fixed within 2 weeks. read more

I have owned panels from cosmic solar for going on 3 years now.... not only were they professionally installed and great care taken with our existing roof and pool solar system but every time I had a question or request they took care of my concerns quickly and effectively... they provided me with an accurate proposal and their service was amazing. I would absolutely recommend this company to anybody interested in a solar system.... most definitely the best company out there read more

What a great company. They came in and did exactly what they said they would do. On schedule and very professional. If you are looking for roof and solar this is the right company for the job. Nice job Jose. read more

Fantastic solar company. From the beginning they were quick to come out and give me an estimate. And the presentation included a folder tailor made to our project that we got to keep. They provided top of the line panels with a great warranty on all parts, including the roof where the panels are located. And the whole project was completed in an incredibly quick time frame. They were on top of everything; from the loan, to the roof contractor, permits, and finally getting us connected with our utility company to begin using our solar. We are so happy we went with Cosmic Solar! read more

Cosmic Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Vista, California

Cosmic was recommended to me by a friend, but I did my due diligence and also talked to another reputable solar installer that my neighbor used. I liked the Sunpower system proposed by Cosmic best, as I wanted to maximize production on a certain area of my roof over my garage, so needed efficient panels. They did a great job of breaking down the cost of lease versus purchase, explaining the rebates available, and comparing the computed savings over my current usage. I decided to purchase my system. The permitting and installation went smoothly, and now that it is up and running, the system uploads the production data to Sunpower, and I can view it online or through an app whenever I feel like it, which is often, as it's kind of fun. Now I bought a plug-in hybrid to go with the solar. I am impressed by Cosmic, their customer service was excellent, the installation looks clean compared to other solar installations I checked out. They also connected me with a state rebate that the competitors did not mention. read more

We got bids from a few solar companies (the ones with all the mailers you get every week). After the bids, we started getting the high pressure sales tactics, calls etc. With the bait and switch financing you'd think we were buying a used car... With the amount of money these things cost, I wanted to make sure I got the most for my dollar but all those other guys were interested in was slapping somethign together and getting paid. We had about given up on solar but met Cosmic at a local Valley Center event and scheduled a bid. Not only did the owner personally come out to give us the bid but they beat out the competition by THOUSANDS for a better system and they were great to deal with. No pressure, just a simple here is what you get for your money approach. Needless to say we chose Cosmic for our job. Once the work started (on time I might add), Pey (their operations mngr ) was with us the whole way, inspecting the work himself and making sure my long list of requirements were met. Nice clean workmanship, and they handled all the inspections and permits like true professionals. No sales people to hassle with either. We now have a system that looks great and spins the meter backwards all day long. I highly recommend them and would use them again should we buy another home. read more

We did our due diligence when we decided to get a solar system, requesting quotes from large companies, small companies, and in-between companies too. There were pros and cons to each, but we ultimately chose Cosmic for their reputation (turns out that quite a few of our neighbors had gone with them and had glowing things to say), competitiveness of their price, extremely quick turnaround, and the exceptional service they provide. We were in quite a rush to get a system put up ASAP, and not only were we able to get up and running in less than 1/3 of the time any other company could promise, but it was with no corners cut. With Cosmic's roofer, we were able to have our roof in tip-top shape and good to go for the next 40 years. Within just a few days after the roof work was completed, Cosmic's team came out and had the whole system up in just 2 days. They handled all the permits and the electrical adapter that we needed, and even spent half a day here to make sure they were present to meet the inspector from the city for the final inspection. A few days after that, we got the green light from SDG&E to turn everything on and we've been enjoying the benefits of solar ever since! The best-in-class warranties that Cosmic provides give us peace of mind that they'll be there if we ever need help, and they were very responsive to any questions we had along the way. There are a few things that they do differently to really stand out from the rest. First and foremost, they take a small deposit at the start but then require no payment at all until the entire system is up and running. Secondly, they work closely with their roofer so if you need any roof work done (you'll want to make sure it's in good condition before you put a solar system on it), you're not having to deal with finding a roofer on your own -- though if you want to, you certainly can. And lastly, the expertise and service is unparalleled: they hold all relevant licenses, do the work with in-house staff instead of subcontracting out, give you a clear picture of the entire process and what to expect... you get the idea. I can't say enough good things about Cosmic. They are the kind of family-run, high-quality small business that is getting harder and harder to find nowadays. I would recommend them without hesitation. read more

I saw them at the fair in Valley Center and I told them that I had just gotten a bid for my pool solar. They of course said they would beat the bid. They came to my house and agreed to do the solar for the same price and since we are virtually neighbors I gave him the job. After they were finished the owner came to me and said they did not make any money and he would like me to give him some extra money. He was very persistent on me giving him more money but I said we agreed on a price and it was the same price as another company had quoted. I thought this is crazy...who does that? We agreed on a price and now you are asking for more money? So a year later when I got solar for my home I didn't use them. Now I have a leak in my pool solar so I call him and ask him to come fix it since it is still under warranty. He starts to yell at me and tell me that I didn't use him for my home solar and I had promised him I would.....What? This is crazy..After the first bait and swithch I absolutely NEVER said that. "Now back to my leak can you come fix it"? He says he is busy with a big job and will get to it in a couple weeks..to call him. So I give him a few weeks and call him. He is still busy and can't get to it and he wants me to call him in a couple more weeks. So I call him a few weeks later and he said no one is in the office and he is out of town to call him in two weeks. It's now been several more weeks and nothing..So I have called now 3 times in just about as many months and he will not honor his warranty. This is terrible business. First to match a quote and then pressure you for more money once the job is completed Then to yell at me for using a different company for a completely different job And to not honor his warranty is the worst. And they used nails instead of screws in the wood solar stand and they are all popping out and the wood is warping because of it. read more

Cosmic solar was the third and final solar company I called for a proposal. They built exactly what I needed and the system does exactly what they promissed. They were quick to install the system and answered all my questions making me feel comfortable with the decision to go solar. Would highly recommend and their customer service is outstanding. Two thumbs up and thank you for saving me thousands per year in electricity. read more

We used Cosmic Solar for our installation. We couldn't be happier. Excellant communication and all work completed in a profesdional and timely manner. We are loving our solar! read more

Follow up report. The folks at Cosmic Solar installed a 10kW ground mount system behind my garage about a year ago. It continues to perform as specified, considering that we have had above average cloud cover this past year. From the initial consultation through to project completion, these guys were honest, knowledgable, efficient, enjoyable to work with, and just for fun, had the best price. Thanks Pey! read more

I'm totally happy with Cosmic Solar's entire process in setting up my home for 100% solar and have already received my first credit from SDGE. Larry Schmidt in Valley Center was their representative, providing courteous, informed assistance throughout. The installation crew was prompt, clean, friendly, and efficient. I'm so glad I did this. My daughter is the one who got me talking to Larry. I'm very thankful she did. The clincher for me was asking a friend who did his solar system. He told me that he had Cosmic re-do another installer's mediocre system and since that time, everything has worked perfectly. I see what he means. read more

I am so amazed with our experience with Cosmic solar! This company values customer service and now a days it is hard to find a company that honors their word and values their customers like Cosmic does! On day one we met with Bahram to go over a proposal, he was a pleasure to work with and I knew there was no need to get another bid because he stood behind his product! The install crew was a pleasure to work with. The guys were quick and clean with the install and I couldn't even tell they installed a solar system. Pey arrived for the inspection and was a pleasure to work with! He gave us great information and was so friendly! Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Cosmic Solar! I love watching my meter go backwards! Thanks again Bahram, Pey and the amazing install crew! read more

When we moved to valley center we had no idea how expensive the electricity was with SDG&E!!! When We asked for referrals Larry Schmidt from COSMIC was referred several times after time. The guy has a great personality, smiled and was very professional. I had several other businesses out to give me a quote for solar and Larry beat them by a long shot! It has been the best experience and decision we have ever made purchasing a home and getting Solar.... Larry is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns. We are saving anywhere from $200-$500 every month just by using COSMIC. I would not use anybody else or any other company. They will set you up and be in and out without any problems. LARRY sat down with us and mapped out proper placing of panels on our roof with the latest and greatest computer technology so you can see a virtual outlay of your house and percentages what is best for your operation. No questions asked, Larry Schmidt with COSMIC Solar. 10/10 read more

Where should I start. First, Jose was excellent. He went above and beyond what was required from someone in his position. He was extremely knowledgable with Cosmic Solar's offerings. Jose went door-to-door for neighbor signatures and dropped off paperwork needed for my HOA; that was amazing! The install was straight forward. The installers walked me through the entire process. I'm only in the first few weeks of solar, so I'm eager to see the financial benefits on my SDG&E bill. read more

We had ten solar panels on our roof through another company, but it just wasn't helping the electric bill very much. We have several friends that used Cosmic Solar and were very happy with it. Went to Cosmic Solar and our first full cycle electric bill was $9. We were scheduled to start installing towards the end of August. I asked to be considered if any appointments prior to that were cancelled to install on our roof. Early July we got a call and then panels were installed. The workers were very polite and worked in the hot hot sun. They were very considerate of our neighbors requests during installation. I didn't even acquire a loan to pay for the installation until way after it was installed. We had to go through the loan process twice because one bank lied to us. After 3 months we paid for the entire installation with a home equity loan. Cosmic Solar never hounded us or even called to ask us when we were going to pay. It's comforting that there are still companies out there that care about their customers. Would I use Cosmic Solar again? ABSOLUTELY!!! read more

Cosmic Solar was fantastic all around! I was nervous about a roof mount as we have had roof issues but they repaired the entire area where my solar was being installed. The process was much easier than I expected and I would recommend them to anyone looking for solar! read more

Excellent company! From our first call to the final sign off with SDG&E, everything went so smooth. Ken was our "go-to" person and he was very approachable with any questions or concerns we had. The crew that did the installation...super friendly and efficient. They showed us how to monitor the panels on line and now we enjoy watching the sun work for us! Would definitely recommend this company for any home or business. read more
