Review Update: After…read moremy initial review, Eric (the sales rep) and Matt (the owner) of Sunline personally reached out to me and was apologetic about the situation. They sent Travis out promptly, who is their electrician where he found that the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty 40-amp breaker that was intermittently providing the necessary voltage, even though measurements initially appear correct. While the breaker issue caused real inconvenience and unexpected costs on my end, the owner was responsive and showed willingness to smooth things over to work toward a resolution. I also want to highlight that the panel upgrade and solar/battery installation itself was clean and well done. The workmanship that Eddie, Manny, Christian and Jamie performed had overall met my expectations, and once the issue was identified, Sunline did step in to correct it. No project is perfect, but how a company responds when problems arise matters a lot. In this case, Sunline's owner and Eric was engaged, responsive, and made a sincere effort to make things right. As an engineer, and after witnessing the symptoms and corrective actions firsthand, I believe the breaker issue was likely a manufacturing defect, and it was unfortunate that it occurred during the holidays. That said, based on how Sunline handled the situation, the overall quality of their work, and the value they offer, I would recommend them and plan to continue using them for future needs.

Adrian was incredibly responsive and was able to come out by 4 PM that same day. Thankfully, it turned out to be a very simple fix -- the thermostat had accidentally been taken off the "Auto" setting. Adrian quickly figured out the issue, explained what happened, and was extremely kind and professional throughout the visit. What impressed me most was that he didn't even charge us for the service call. He explained that since it was such a simple issue, he was happy to help and wanted to establish a good working relationship with us for our rental properties. That kind of honesty and customer service is hard to find. We really appreciate Adrian going out of his way to accommodate us on a Friday afternoon with only a couple hours' notice. We will definitely be calling Sunline Energy again for our future HVAC needs. Highly recommend!

The installation crew came out and they were EVEN better than the customer service and sales rep. Eduardo Naranjo needs a promotion and a raise. The man was so humble, genuine and all around a great guy. He dealt with my kids and many dogs with no fear lol. He was professional and kept me apprised of everything the crew was doing. At then end of the installation I was sad to see the man and his team go because they were so personable and efficient. The install of my panels and batteries looks way way better than I could have imagined. I already had existing solar that I liked. But this new system blows it out the water. Anyway.

The crew arrived on time every day, kept the worksite clean (they did a full cleanup at the end of each day), and treated my property with respect throughout the project. The quality of the installation itself was top-notch--exactly what you want when you're investing in something as critical as your roof. A special callout to Dylon, the project manager. His communication was exceptional--clear, proactive, and consistent. He stayed directly involved throughout the job, which made a big difference in ensuring everything went smoothly. It's rare to see that level of hands-on management. They also handled the solar panel dismount and reinstall flawlessly, which is not a trivial task. Even though I'm now upgrading my system due to the NEM 3.0 transition, their work made that process seamless. Post-installation support has been just as impressive. They've continued to be responsive and helpful, especially coordinating around my new solar project--something many companies tend to disappear on after the job is done. Pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality and service provided. And as a bonus--no nonsense on the job site. Unlike some other crews I've seen in the neighborhood, these guys were professional the entire time. Bottom line: excellent workmanship, strong communication, fair pricing, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommended.

So I developed a roof leak at our home and the existing roof was at least 25 years old so it was now time for roof replacement! I did my research and contacted the owner Troy whom was very thorough and informative during our conversation and he answered all of my concerns. The next step was to have my roof inspected, address any concerns and formulate an estimated cost for recommended repair. The estimator Dylon spent nearly 45 minutes performing a complete and thorough inspection. I have solar panels and gas lines mounted on our roof which complicated the roof replacement process. Good news is San Diego County Roofing (SDCR) partners with a great solar company and therefore de-activating the solar system, solar panel(s) removal, replacement and re-activation of the solar system is all taken care of through SDCR. Also SDCR warranties all work provided by their partnering solar company. I chose SDCR to replace my roof and what a great decision it was. I was updated and kept informed through each and every step of of the roof replacement process. I had some wood issues (rotting, worn out etc...) and the cost for the wood replacement was very reasonable. Tarps were laid out to cover our pool and artificial turf and after each day the residence was thoroughly cleaned of debris. Edgar the supervisor was always available whenever I had any questions or concerns. Also Dylon was always "Keeping tabs" with the progress and kept me informed of any issues and offered options when applicable. I felt very comfortable knowing that Dylon was always "on top" of things! Upon completion of the job, Juan invited me to view the new roof replacement and informed me of all that had been done and answered all of my questions and concerns. He even explained that my flat roof section of the garage had 2 sheets of "roofing" (know as "torch down") installed as compared to 1 sheet of roofing which most roofing companies provide, something I wouldn't have known. Everything was great and I was extremely satisfied EXCEPT one big problem! Apparently during the process of replacing my roof, a section of my newly installed artificial turf in the front of my house became damaged. I contacted Troy to discuss this big concern not knowing what to expect. After our discussion he instructed me to have the turf replaced and that I would be reimbursed for any and all cost. I had the artificial turf replaced at a cost of $2,200 and true to his word troy had a company check in the amount of $2,200 sent to my house within (1) week. So rest assured SDCR will give you phenomenal service. The company is professional, honest and transparent every step of the way from start to completion. This company has proved should something go wrong, they will make it "right". I highly recommend SDCR and I'm so glad I made the right choice! You should make the right choice too!

Is Aloha a smaller company, yes, but will Gabe answer your call when needed, yes! Fast forward install happened within a couple weeks of signing the deal. Minas was the head installer it seemed (all people are internal employees with Aloha and work is NOT contracted out, that was a big seller for us), and two other guys Rigo and Matt. All were super nice and very professional. Minas walked me through everything at the end, and major bonus points once he installed the piping going from battery to roof, he asked if I had paint that matched the exterior of my house. I did, and he then painted all of the piping! I know he did not have to do that, so that was a fantastic touch.

The power that does get pulled from the grid I believe is from large loads momentarily allowing electrons to flow in from the grid while the batteries match the load. My last bill imported a grand total of 4 kWh from the grid. Now that the weather has started getting hot, the system still performing exceptionally and not pulling any energy from SDG&E. I keep the AC at 69 degrees during the day and down to 67 overnight. System is still able to satisfy the load and keep me comfortable. I've taken to describing my system as "Selfish Solar".

Could not recommend a system like this any higher. Currently looking at less than an 8 year payback period. Will probably be even faster than that because I'm not considering future price increases from the utility.

We've been thinking about getting Solar for a while now but we never really understood to much about it. We assumed the process of getting Solar would be a stressful project not to mention strangers coming and going to give estimates and/or sales pitches and the possibility of needing a roof replacement (and all that's involved with that process) and taking a leap financially was was something that we needed to investigate also. (How much will this cost, what kind of financing is out there for this and at what interest rate?) We had no idea about any of it. Enter Heliogold! Heliogold's website is a wonderful source of information for the things we wanted to know about. From there we decided to do a zoom call with Jason. Good idea! He listened as we explained every concern & asked questions curiously. He gave us friendly answers and a wealth of information without being long winded or pushy. He walked us through details like types of panels or inverters and more, such as the why & why nots of this or that. He also explained why right now is the time to get Solar. He explained how purchasing Solar now, will lock in our electric price at the current price rate for 20 years! Once we decided to say yes to Solar and to Heliogold, our work was done! Heliogold took it from there. They contacted who needed to be contacted and put the right people in place and they kept us informed and were responsive if we had questions or concerns. Excellent Customer Care!! I'm writing this review because of our wonderful experience with this Company. I want those of you who are considering Solar to know that it's not a stressful process like we thought it would be. We were able to be excited about getting Solar because Heliogold made the process easy and hassle free, exactly how we like business & projects to go. Heliogold is an Excellent choice, no matter where you live and Heliogold is a Company that you can trust & rely on and that goes for Jason too! (We didn't need to re roof and he told us that in the very beginning when he had it inspected) Heliogold didn't any of our time at any point. In fact it was a pleasure to work with such Professionals!! Thank you Heliogold, thank you so much and Thank you too Jason!! May you always be blessed. read more

Late last year, I had recently purchased a new home and was under the gun to get a solar system installed to capitalize on the tax credits. As a buyer, I felt like I had done my homework and knew what I wanted, but still had a few key questions I needed to get answered. I had already sat down with the "big" players in the industry and was not feeling impressed or inspired, even though I was shopping for a pretty big system. A few even declined entirely just based on the fact I had a tile roof (hello... this is San Diego!). I shared my frustrations with my long term insurance agent and she was quick to introduce me to Rebecca Ely. I'm so thankful for the introduction, because Rebecca is s a true pro in every sense of the word and things only continued to get better when she and Jake showed up at my house. They quickly answered all of my questions, made the process of securing financing a no brainer and even navigated my tricky HOA without me ever having to lift a finger. Best of all, they hit an insane timeline that allowed me to capitalize on a much needed tax write-off with time to spare. Solar in San Diego is truly a no-brainer, but the installer you choose to work with is a critical decision you need to get right... I just don't see how you can go wrong with Rebecca, Jake and the rest of the Heliogold team. read more

I was lucky enough have Ryan Lafleur as my solar broker from Heliogold and it was a pleasant, informative, trustworthy process. After dealing with five other companies including Solar City and Semper Solaris. All the companies told us that we don't use enough energy and/ or they cannot install on our roof (they assumed our roof tiles were clay without checking- they aren't). Ryan's first statement about the roof was "yes, I can install on those tiles." That simple. He simply got it done because he knows what he is doing. Thanks to Ryan and Heliogold my solar system is up faster than expected, at a lower cost than I was expecting, and I got a great friend and piece of mind out of it to boot. If you are interested in solar Ryan can and will help you get it without the hassle or pressure of most other companies. I just realized that this review is starting to look like a paid ad; so I'll end with his contact info: ryanlafleur@heliogold.com If nothing else, you will come out with more information about solar (he loves to share information about solar too)! read more

I appreciated the time, education, and attention I received from my first conversation with Jason. We installed in tandem with HVAC, and it was very beneficial to do both at the same time. Unfortunately, after signing our contract, there were a few bumps along the way in regards to their organization and bandwidth. However, most every time I had one-on-one communication with someone, they were very pleasant and eager to help. While some of the process was quite disorganized, we were fortunately introduced to Matt after the system was completely installed. He came to our house, sat with us to explain everything about the new format of our gas and electricity bill, and has been prompt to follow up with every question since then. The effort and help from a few are the reason for my 5 start rating, and I am optimistic about their customer support moving forward. read more

I wanted to take a moment to write a professional Google review for Heliogold Solar because i don't write reviews often, if not ever! Let me tell you, their expertise in solar installations is truly impressive. The entire process was smooth sailing, and the rep I worked with was incredibly knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and guided me in the right direction. It's amazing that I'm now offsetting 83% of my energy that would have come from IID, and at a much better rate too! IID simply can't compete with that. Overall, I'm absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Heliogold Solar. They exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to refer them to all my friends!

I did a lot of research before investing in a solar system and contractor. I wanted the most bang for my buck, and determined that the SunPower system was the best out there. My wife likes it because it looks a lot nicer than other solar panels. I like it because it is the most efficient system out there. My experience with Helio Gold was excellent. Other companies I reached out to took days to get back to me, if they even responded at all. Helio Gold was very prompt and answered all of my questions and helped me determine the optimal number of solar panels for our situation. I really appreciate their customer service.

And then, once we set up a second appointment and had decided on purchasing our solar, he played "devils advocate" about the other programs and why they were good in order to make sure we were 100% confident in our decision to purchase. It was a smooth and easy experience and now we have a way to keep our house cool and our electric bill extremely low if not non-existent! Loving it. Thanks a ton Abraham!! read more

Lora Davis was a great and friendly representative, always willing to figure out the answer to a question. Setting up meetings with informative personnel o ln her team were east and they were knowledgeable and were willing to answer all of our questions, give us more information and never asked us to sign something until we were 100% comfortable and clear on what we were signing. They were in constant communication about every step and everyone in their company was aligned with our project. Our system looks and runs great. They handled everything. We are so thankful we went with this company. They know what they are doing. Thank you heliogold team! read more

Never having had solar panels installed before, this project felt overwhelming to me. Josh was an excellent listener and was thoroughly patient, all throughout the decision making process. I never felt pressured, only supported. The best part of this complex project was that Josh was always available, even proactively checking in, until the very end. This project could have been a disasterous nightmare. Josh made it bearable. A pleasant person, and a true professional. As difficult as the Solar World is to navigate through, I'd recommend hitching your wagon to Josh. He gets it done. read more

Sam from Heliogold was a huge help in getting our Solar setup through SunPower. Sam answered all of my questions and was very precise with the amount of panels we would need for our home. He was honest about what solar panels are better or worse than others and made me feel extremely confident in my decision to go with SunPower. The best part of this whole experience is the dramatic decrease in our SDG&E bill. Also, I didn't have to do a single thing during the whole process, it was all handled without me lifting a finger. Definitely recommend Heliogold and speaking with Sam about Solar. read more

Our sales rep Abraham Malfavon went way above from the other companies reps that we had dealt with. He told us the positives and negatives of the panels they offered compared to others that just pushed the positives. He spent many hours answering our many questions and made sure we understood before he departed. But the great service did not end there, he followed up on all the steps needed to get our solar panels up and running after we signed on. I highly recommend Abraham if you are looking into saving big on your electric bill. Very honest and polite person! read more

Matt Reynolds has been a very integral part of my decision to choose Heliogold Solar. From his first meeting with me to subsequent follow up meetings, he was always punctual, well prepared, and highly professional. I have never had an issue with any part of the installation, electricians or the installers that came to my house that Matt didn't help with in keeping me posted every step of the way. Matt is a stellar example of what a good and knowledgeable employee should be and I recommend him highly to anyone that is choosing to go solar. Thank you Matt! read more

I just got my solar panels install. Both Rebecca and Davis where a dream to work with. Davis, per my request came back on numerous occasions to knock on my door and set up an appointment. The were both very through as to the why, when, and where of solar panels.Once everything was approved to be installed, which I did not lift a finger for, could not have been more professionally done. When Rebecca told me it was going to be like sitting and drinking lemonade, she could not have been more right. Thank you Heliogold and more specifically Rebecca and Davis. read more

Jake Hess of Heliogold was very patient with us and guided us through our many questions and scenarios. This install was the first mobile home in our senior park and our neighbors have already signed up and many others are excited to know that finally they can get solar too! When it came time for the installation, Joshua and his crew made short work of getting the panels mounted and the electrical done. The people at Heliogold are very trustworthy and they are people-friendly! Great experience all around. Ron and Jo Ann Hill read more

Our solar panel installation was completed on time, in one day. The city inspection occurred that weekend, PTO (Permission to Operate) came the next week, and the day after that, the system was activated. The "mySunPower" app on my iPhone gives me real time data, and is so accurate that it shows consumption immediately whenever I turn on or off any appliance, including any lamp. The company representatives have given all the information necessary for a newbie to understand how everything works. read more

Just a quick shout out to Joe Dale who deserves a "Worthy Competitor" award :) I've been in the solar business for a number of years and met many Sales Reps from various companies. Joe is a solid guy who is knowledgeable about the pros and cons of going solar in California and has a great work ethic. I've seen numerous occasions where Joe goes way beyond what is needed to make sure the Customer is happy. Joe has great patience and will make sure all your questions get answered! read more

What set Heliogold apart from its competitor was that the reps were extremely helpful, informative and transparent. They explained the whole process and answered all my questions in a detailed and professional manner. I'm in the Imperial Valley where the sun shines +300 days out of the year so im putting the sun to work in my favor for once! I am very happy with my solar panel system and would recommend Heliogold to anyone that is interested in saving money and going green! read more

The system is incredibly smart -- it even monitors weather patterns and will pre-charge the battery overnight (when power is cheapest) if cloudy weather is coming so you're never caught without backup. The crew was professional, the install was clean, and the communication every step of the way was excellent. It's rare to find a company that plans ahead for you and genuinely cares about getting it right -- we highly recommend SHS Power.
