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.

A few years ago, I contacted Imperial Solar for an evaluation. 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.

We recently had an unexpected issue with one of our solar panels and reached out to Imperial Solar…read morefor help. 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.

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.

If you go with this company, 100% ask for Mason to be your sales rep. Avoid Eddie at all costs as he won't respond to you after you sign your agreement...Because of this, Management actually switched my contact person to Mason, and I am forever grateful for that. Mason is attentive and he was the best with responding to questions and concerns. And when I had concerns about delays in my project, I would email him and it would be fixed right away. The solar industry is one where many people have a lot of questions, uncertainty in effectiveness, and aren't sure if it's right for them. And people in general don't trust solar companies and sales people. It takes time to complete a solar project from contract to actually generating electricity for the home. For me, I decided to go with solar because the 30% tax credit was ending (and now that I actually see results, it's worth it even without the tax credit). However, since I was in a tight window to get everything completed before December 31st, I was very nervous as to if the project would be done on time. if it wasn't for my persistence, and for Mason's help, I don't think it would have been done Before December 31st and I would have been very upset and lost out on the tax credit. So again, GO WITH MASON at Solar Optimum, you won't regret it. If I get another home, I will 100% use this company again, and would 100% ONLY work with Mason. I also added a picture to show how much solar has been generating for me in just over a week in the middle of December (the worst for sunlight). It's right at optimal generation for this time of year and look forward to no more electric bills.

signed a contract with Solar Optimum on Aug 12th, 2026. Per phone call with Eddie Rodriguez, it was…read moremade clear that I wanted to have it installed by end of year in order to qualify for the tax credit before it expired. A lot of time passed by without hearing back. Then I was told the solar panels that I had agreed to are no longer available. They replaced them with cheaper options. Later on, they said the replacements were no longer available and switched them again to a cheaper option. I received an email on 10/28/25 saying the solar panels are ready for installation. Then I didn't receive an update until 12/10/25 asking for information that I had already confirmed via phone call, the clearance from solar panels as well as the panels being permitted. Then I received an email on 12/23/25 asking for this confirmation again. I sent a follow up, and did not hear back from Eddie until 12/27/25. He gave me a call and told me that Solar Optimum is unable to complete the installation by the end of the year, making me ineligible for the tax credit. He suggested claiming the system was installed/invoiced in my taxes, which is tax fraud as the tax credit makes it explicitly clear that it needs to be installed and powered by 12/31/25. On Dec 30th, he said he would update me within 2 weeks. 2 weeks elapsed and no update was given. At the end of my experience with Solar Optimum, I was took a loan that was no longer needed which ran my credit which has negative implications for my credit score. I also missed out on thousands in tax credit as well as future long term savings. There was misrepresentation regarding what the company had to offer and so far the company has not offered any option to rectify the situation. Will never do business with this company and strongly advise against using their services. The only option remaining is if they are able to discount the panels by the amount of tax credit I have missed out on, which will be my desired resolution requested.

LA Solar Group took care of the HOA application and SCE permits. Overall, the installation of panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries went very smoothly.

This company is the worst. They do not know how to install a roof or fix the roof they installed…read more We had our entire roof (pitched and flat) replaced by them in 2018. We have had the flat part of the ceiling leak EVERY YEAR since they fixed it. We call, they schedule us, someone comes weeks later and they say they "fixed" it but then next time it rains it leaks again. They blamed our vents so we were stupid enough to pay these people to remove the vents because we didn't want to void the warranty by having someone else do it and guess what? Now the roof leaks in DIFFERENT parts. Worse part is that now we're starting to see STAINS on the ceiling from WATER DAMAGE. The last guy said it doesn't affect the integrity of the roof but he found wet spots THROUGHOUT the ceiling 2 weeks AFTER the rain. I have a toddler in here and they want to claim that a ceiling that is still wet after 2 weeks of no rain is safe??? I just HOPE that there is no mold, mildew, it wood rot in between these layers of wet wood! My husband has been calling and they are giving him the run around about scheduling someone to come. I tried calling and when they did call back they called to say they had no updates on when someone could assess the roof further. I have written a review in the past about our issues with the install and the first leaks, it's lost in all the other complaints they have about leaking roofs. If you still are on the fence about using this company you can read all of those and save yourself the trouble we didn't. Avoid them!

I cannot say enough good things about Marco. I truly procrastinated on installing solar for a long…read moretime because I had heard so many horror stories about roof damage, leaks, and systems failing. I was extremely hesitant to move forward. From the very first conversation, Marco completely changed that. He has excellent communication skills and stayed in constant touch with me throughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered clearly and honestly, and he walked me through each step so I always knew what to expect. What is usually a stressful and painful process ended up being smooth and surprisingly easy. We started by doing our roof first, and shortly after, Los Angeles was hit with a major storm. Everything held up perfectly, which already gave me peace of mind. After that, we moved forward with the solar installation, and once again another storm came through. The system performed exactly as it should, with no issues at all and no damage to the roof. Marco made the entire experience feel organized, transparent, and stress free. I am so glad I waited until I found the right person to work with. If you are on the fence about solar or nervous like I was, Marco is someone you can truly trust. I would highly recommend him.

I first contacted Marco in early November…read more2025--right in the middle of the year-end rush when everyone (myself included) was trying to get their tax credit in before the deadline. Despite how hectic that time was, he had my system fully installed and running just over a month later, in early December. Beyond the end result, the overall experience was outstanding. If I texted Marco, his average response time was probably around 15 minutes. He answered all of my questions and genuinely made me feel like I was working with a real person, not a faceless big solar company or door-to-door charlatan. His pricing was about average for the market, but the service was easily 10/10. A couple of days after turning the system on, Marco proactively reached out to let me know my battery was showing an error code. He sent someone out and had it resolved within a few hours. That level of attentiveness and follow-through really sets him apart.
