We have had a great experience with Ohm Solar Solutions in Chico. We found out about this Company at the recommendation of our roofing contractor. We had a solar installation that needed to be removed in order to complete the re-roofing. We contacted the original installer of the solar panels to handle the removal, but needed to send a letter to them because it is impossible to reach anyone with that business by phone or email. They never gave out a phone number for texts and were extremely frustrating to work with initially. They came out, said the 3 roofing contractors who told us the solar installation was done incorrectly were wrong, promised to send an estimate to remove and reinstall, took down my email address, and we never heard from them again. Our roofing contractor worked with Ohm Solar Solutions to remove and reinstall the existing solar installation. Brandon was our Ohm sales representative. He called back to make an appointment the same day that I called to inquire about installing additional panels. At the last minute, we decided to also get a battery. The prices were fair, based on the current market and the impact of tariffs. Ethan, their case manager, was assigned to us. He responded within minutes to my text messages or phone calls. When they schedule a time to come out, they arrived or let me know there would be a delay. I can still text Ethan if I have questions and continue to receive excellent service from Ohm Solar Solutions. Everything is up and running. They assisted with apps that keep us informed about the power being generated and how it would be distributed. We are still connected to the grid with PG&E, which is needed if we have a series of cloudy days, but PG&E is also purchasing excess power generated by our system. We could not be happier! What a contrast to our experience with the other solar business!! read more

They disregard no soliciting signs. In the city I live in, if a sign is posted, it's illegal to bother the residents. They did anyway. read more

Would give zero stars if I could. We have a 3 day old baby, sign on front door saying sleeping baby do not disturb, do not knock or ring. Salesperson ignored sign, rang doorbell and knocked. When I went to the door he said he didn't see the sign, but my ring doorbell shows him clearly looking at the sign as he walked up to the door. Completely disrespectful, I would never use a company that ignores potential customers wishes and shows utter disregard for families with young infants at home. read more

Beware of getting scammed and screwed over in every way possible. They do terrible work and will not take responsibility on their side to fix their mistakes. A lot more expensive than other companies and they will make you regret ever getting solar in a couple years!!!! Look somewhere else! read more

A representative from OHM recently reached out to me, even after I had already made it clear to other members of their team that I did not want to do business with them. Clearly, communication within this company is very poor. I understand they wanted to make a better impression because the previous person I dealt with is no longer employed there. However, the new representative texted me and addressed me as "Princessa" (princess). This is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate for any business. He claimed that was the name listed under my father's phone number, but instead of assuming, he should have confirmed my actual name. Being addressed that way made me feel very uncomfortable. If OHM truly respected its customers, they would respect boundaries, communicate better internally, and treat people with professionalism. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. read more

Had appointment, 9-12 window. No technician, no phone call or text. Tech arrives 12:40. Called office after 12 to find out what's up. No one answers any of the Ohm Solar #'s I called. Left messages. Did receive a call finally saying nothing on schedule for me today!? But tech had finally arrived, 40 minutes past scheduled appointment window. Bad customer service. With all the solar company's available I would suggest looking at other options. read more

Ohm Solar Solutions is a sneaky high-pressure sales company. I already had a solar system, but they continually came by and badgered me about upgrading and I finally gave in and made a huge costly mistake. They convinced me they would only do what was in my best interest. Wrong! I didn't pay close enough attention to the fine print due to a lengthy 80+ page contract and trusted them on it. A system that might cost around $25,000 ended up over $130,000 with interest. I was quoted one payment for the life of the system and then find out it's going up every year. The finance company they use is also in cahoots and a suspicious financial institution. I am 74, not healthy, on a fixed income and they took advantage of me. All of what I was verbally promised I did not get and it was just a high sales pitch lie. The system is under built and does not produce what they said it would. PG&E will not allow me to export power from it so I have to rely on my old unreliable broke down system to receive any export credits . The battery back-up for night usage and in the event of an electric power grid outage only lasts four hours. Having backup power was my biggest selling point which is a joke. I was completely lied to and should've had a professional look at the contract. I appealed to Brandon the sales manager and the owner about it and they kicked me to the curb. They do not care about customer satisfaction, only the money. After all is said and done I will now have a large payment for the new installation and a PG&E bill that I cannot afford both. I've always heard about Solar scams, but never thought I would get caught up in one. If you are considering Ohm, make sure you read all of the negative reviews and pay close attention to their sales talk and do your research because they are very deceitful. They respond kindly to their negative reviews but it's just for show. Also, they use EverBright Solar financing which is a deceptive fraudulent company. Google the bad reputation they have, lawsuits, reviews, BBB, etc. read more

Do not trust salesmam Jack Fischer. I'm paying $299 for the system (batteries and panels) and PGE $600 on top of it and Jack Fischer will not answer calls and will not help me out with this problem and it's been over a year. When techs come out when there's a problem, which is 2-4 times a year, they don't understand why I'm pay so much and to reach out to OHM solar and they do nothing to help me with the problem. All this company wants to do is get you in a contract and once you sign that's it and ghost you.. read more

I am not the homeowner but the home where we are staying has ohm solar. I have had multiple problems with the inverter but because we don't have WiFi and refuse to buy a $700 back up solar battery they won't service the property. But maybe it's because I am a concerned mama of 3 just trying to find out why my energy bill is high. I guess they worked out a contract with the homeowner where their warranty isn't valid anymore because I can't afford WiFi or a cell modem to monitor the solar. I have heard great things about neighbors solar systems where they can see their energy use from the inverter box and their boxes are installed in the garage where others can't access it. So if going with ohm and you don't want to monitor it with WiFi or a cell modem, I would look into other companies. I heard sun run is a good company. read more

Ohm Solar Solutions - Side house - Solar Installation Near Me - Chico, California

Ohm sold me a solar roof system last summer. They did not inspect nor advise me to get a roof inspection prior to solar panel installation. I had a recent annual air conditioner maintenance and the tech noted my roof was in poor condition. I called a roofer to inspect the roof and they said it needed to be replaced. The cost of replacing the roof along with dealing with the solar panels doubled the costs of roof replacement. I wish they'd been forthcoming and said you should have a roof inspection before we install solar panels. They didn't want to loose a sale and installed solar on a roof that potentially would need replacing sooner than later. read more

Very responsive, Thank you all for your service and follow through. I appreciate the time an thorough approach to troubleshooting and repairing our system. read more

We went shopping for solar companies with a short list of businesses recommended by friends who were all very happy with the companies they'd worked with. Ohm was the first one I called. Ryan Wright answered the phone from a beach in Cancun. While talking to me, he pulled up a Google view of my roof and we set up an appointment right then. From that point on, everything about working with this company was exemplary, right down to the installation of the panels. Everything that was within Ryan's control happened in a timely fashion. We highly recommend Ohm Solar Solutions if you want things done Wright!! read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. From the very start I felt as though my business and satisfaction were of the utmost importance. The very moment they made their introduction I was at ease. They were responsive to questions and made it clear they would be helping me with every step of the process. Even after signing paperwork they continued to make sure my solar needs were met. I still receive texts and calls to make sure that everything is running smoothly. In addition, they are masters of their craft, seamlessly placing the panels onto our roof so as not to detract from the curb appeal. I would recommend that anyone who is interested in solar give them a call. They truly have your best interest at heart. read more

Ohm did our solar for us earlier this year, and it has been amazing. We financed, which Cody helped us with every step. With our low payments, and no pge bill, we are saving over $200 a month. If you're thinking about solar, Ohm Solar Solutions is an amazing company to work with! Thanks Cody Pitts for all your help! read more

Ohm Solar Solutions employs a multitude of sketchy characters to act as their door-to-door sales people, and for weeks now they have been flooding my neighborhood. I have attempted to be cordial and friendly to these sales people, and have explained that I am not interested in purchasing their products or their services, but with each interaction their sales people have become more aggressive and confrontational to the point that I will no longer answer the door when I see one of their sales people. Today they crossed the line. After one of their sales people repeatedly rang my doorbell and did not receive a response, he elected to trespass into my backyard where he began creeping around and peering into windows like a Peeping Tom! Lucky for this prowling salesman I was not home at the time, but I have attempted to contact Ohm Solar Solutions to discuss the behavior of their employees after observing their sales person on my security cameras. I have left a voicemail and left them a "chat" message through their website, but so far have received zero communication from this company. It is becoming clear that Ohm Solar Solutions is perfectly okay with their employees behaving in this deplorable manner. My advice is to avoid this company and their employees like the plague, and to contact your local law enforcement agency the second you see their "sales people" in your neighborhood. read more

Best place to get solar! I would 110% recommend them to anyone in a hundred mile radius of Chico, CA. By far the best solar company in the area not only are they saving people money but they are allowing people to not get taken advantage of PG&E and provide power themselves instead of relying on a company only running to appease shareholders and bring them more money. OHM Solar is the way to go if you don't want to get continuously ripped off by a real life monopoly (PG&E) and leagues ahead of any of the other solar companies in the area. They are saving me a lot of money each month I love those guys! read more

Typical scare tactics. They use math to straight up lie, but speak quickly so you won't pick up on it. I could go on and on but I finally threw Scotty out after about six red flags. Do your own research and never talk to any solar company until you do. read more

They went way out of their way to answer all our concerns about getting solar. so I give them a 5 plus plus star bbb rating. Office staff kept me updated on each step and what was next. Great work and effort done by all those involved. Start to finish. Keep up the good work. read more

Completely scammed. After a series of knocks on the door this guy Feridan knocks and says he can give us the best price I said off the top of your head approximately how much? He says 29k OK let's talk, winds up with a figure of 40k and after a bunch of used car salesman talk we got conned into it, 1st lie, then proceed to tell us we will receive tax money back that we can put to the loan, 2nd lie, it's a tax credit, proceeds to tell us there will be no true ups 3rd lie, just recieved a $2000 true up bill. Don't get suckered by these solar companies their nothing more than snake oil salesman. read more

We used Ohm for our recent solar installation. The experience was completely smooth and they took care of everything. Our sales advisor, Chuck Bradley, was incredibly responsive, very knowledgeable and helpful, and went out of his way to make the entire process as low stress as possible. The installation was quick and seamless. I'm so glad we went with Chuck and this company! read more

We used OHM Solar Solutions for our solar install and could not be happier. Ryan and Ben were the sales reps we worked with and they were very professional, polite and patient explaining the advantages of a solar install. The install went very well and was very fast. The install crew was also very professional and install only took one day. The office crew is also amazing, especially the office manager Erin. We had the system install on Dec 30th and we were authorized and on line with PGE on Jan 13th (2 weeks) which we thought was amazing. This would not have been possible without Erin's diligence and hard work dealing with PGE mumbo jumbo. I give Ohm Solar Solutions my highest recommendation without reservation!! Victor read more

We had the pleasure of working with Fahredin to get solar installed at our house. He was professional and knowledgeable. Installation was quick and easy. The contractors were all friendly and professional. Once PG&E connected to our system we saw immediate savings. I love that the solar came with an App so we can see the real time production of our solar. I also love that is easy extremely affordable (cheaper than our electric bills were), and that the purchase didn't require a lien against our home. We highly recommend Ohm Solar Solutions. After doing our market research they were by far the best company we could find. And if you have the pleasure of working with Fahredin you will not be disappointed. He was excellent. Very professional, dedicated, helpful, and even had a great sense of humor! (My husbands thinks he is a comedian and likes to tease.) We recommend both Ohm Solar Solutions and Fahredin. read more

Fahredin, Cody, Erin and really the whole crew of Ohm Solar are a true class act. Our entire experience from start to finish was excellent and my wife & I never had to lift a finger during the planning & installation phases - Fahredin of Ohm Solar really took care of everything!! We were also in need of a new roof at the same time of the solar install and the crew of Ohm worked hand-in-hand with the roofers, even though the two companies had no connection to one another. Like I said, a true class act. Anytime we had a random question pop into our heads, Fahredin was quick to answer his phone and/or give us a call right back with an answer to put our minds at ease. Exceptional value and top-notch service. Oh, and the panels themselves look stellar!!! Black panels with black trim - so much better than the outdated & unsightly panels/installs on the houses just down the street from us, lol (sorry neighbors, but you know it's true). The crew was also able to run all electrical conduit through our attic, so no pipes are visible at all. Just perfect. Due yourself a favor and book your install now before PG&E rates soar even higher! Without a doubt, Ohm is the solar company to call! read more
