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.

This company installed our solar panels two years ago. We have a steep roof so it was a unique…read morechallenge. When we initially met with Joy she represented that they have experience designing solar for steep roofs and she showed up examples of prior work. During the design, contracting, and installation phases, the company was responsive and easy to work with. However, one year later it became clear that the design was not sufficient to meet our solar needs as Joy and Han represented; not even close, and we are still paying a large electricity bill each month. As such, the economic analysis offered by the company to entice us to move forward with them doesn't pencil out and we might never recover our investment costs. If they had provided the actual solar production, we would not have moved forward with the project. When we contacted the company about this issue in summer 2024, they were very slow to respond and even though they offered to redesign the system, they delayed and delayed and often we had to contact them multiple times before we received a response. Further, they tried to shift some blame to the "trees and unexpected weather conditions." The trees being referenced were there at the time of their bid and appeared in their modeling. The trees are trimmed regularly. The weather has not had any significant deviations. More than a year after we contacted them, they have not yet redesigned the system, nor can they guarantee that the new redesign will cover our solar needs. It is very disappointing that they have not made this right. Hopefully, we can still resolve this issue, but I felt compelled to write this review so others are aware that the anticipated solar production and the economic analysis to convince you to sign may be grossly misleading.

They helped us sort through lots of options and configurations. Prices were competitive with bigger 'name' companies. We really prefer using local companies, especially with something like solar, where having them nearby is a benefit.

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.

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.

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.

The first time I called in, someone answered, and they responded with "we'll check some diagnostics and call you back in 10 minutes." They never called, and that was about 3 months ago. I've called them and left messages, and emailed, a total of about 20-30 times. They have not answered or respond since the first "we'll get back to you." I will be filing this review in as many forums I can, and with the Better Business Bureau, as a warning to other potential customers. Update: after posting the review above several places, Clean Initiative immediately reached out, sent out a service tech, and fixed the problem. I'm going with 4/5 stars because there still appears to be no way to reach customer service without going to such drastic lengths, but now I'm happy with the solar installation.

Before I found the right company, I did about a month and a half of research. I visited a lot of friends' and family homes before I found the solar panels that I like the most. At my nephews and his wife's house I came across the solar panels that looked most appealing to me, and they recommended Pasadena Solar Panels to me. I called them, and from the first consultation, a consultant named Alissa, sorted out the whole process of solar panel installation to me, step by step. From the first conversation I could already tell that I will not be disappointed by this company. Furthermore, after installation, I was only more satisfied! The crew installed my solar panels within a short period of time with quality and efficiency! Now I am a proud owner of new solar panels and a proud bank saver, and I'm not only saving money but the planet too!

We'd read so many reviews, called to various companies. This company impressed me with the first call. Manager very patiently and friendly answered each of my questions and made everything easy for understanding. He explained all the process of installation, all pros and cons. Then we met at our place and they helped to find better place for panels. We signed the agreement, and in a week our panels were installed. Guys-installers made all professionally and fast. Since then our panels are working perfectly. Our family dreamed about solar panels and now it came true! So exciting! Thank you guys for that!!!
