We chose Option One for our solar project in July, 2018. The entire process was a pleasure from the initial consultation to final install. Our solar works very well. Here is the most impressive part of our experience. Fifteen months after our panels were installed on a ground mount at the back of our property, I found a sewer leak under the array. During installation, the sewer line was broken. I made one call and was put through to the owner of the company. He did not question my explanation, he just assured me it would be fixed. He took complete responsibility for the breakage and repair. He sent a crew over to inspect and days later it was fixed. This speaks volumes about the integrity of this company and is a true example of guaranteed work. Look no further, you have found your solar company. Call them! read more

We were stuck in a tough situation where your solar system had not been working for a while and we didn't realize it. To make matters worse, the company that installed it went out of business. I called around many solar panel companies, and to my luck found nobody to help me. I found a company that came out and all they were trying to do was just take my money. Thankfully, I came across Option One Solar and I couldn't be more grateful for all the support that this company offered in particular Tiffany. She was amazing from the first time she answered my phone call. She was so helpful, responsive, I was communicating every step that she was taking, and truly went above and beyond to getting our issue fixed in such a prompt manner. In less than a week, my system was up and running again. Thank you Tiffany and our installer Ivan for really going above and beyond and exceeding my expectations!!! read more

Elijah was very friendly, helpful, and informative. He answered all my questions concerning solar panels. I highly recommend contacting Option One Solar for anyone who is considering having solar installation. read more

I chose Option One based on the recommendation of my neighbor. Everything they promised, they delivered. My HOA was very insistent that the panels not be visible from the street. The installers installed them according to the plan they submitted, but they were still visible from the street. I called, and the very next day, the installers came back and moved the panels so that they were not visible. So far, the system has been running for 3 or 4 weeks and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended! read more

I could not have been happier with my experience working with Ryan Morrison and his team over at Option One. They were so incredibly helpful every step of the process, and were flexible enough to accommodate me when I needed to make changes to the location of our ground-mount array, the configuration, and switching between financing options in the middle of the project. Really great, professional people and company. I will certainly be working with them again in the future when the opportunity presents itself. read more

We have recently decided to go the solar way, after so many other companies trying to sell us on things we did not need we found Option One. Our sales Rep Ashton was able to answer all of our questions provide us with great feedback on all their programs without hiding any information. This was the main reason we chose this company. While going through the process our project manager Natasha was always responsive, kept us updated every step of the way. The day of installation they showed up and got to work, very courteous and friendly workers, they left no mess cleaned everything up. Even after installation, when you aren't a priority anymore to most companies, we had some questions they were able to speak to us and answer all the questions we've had. I would recommend this company to anyone who is on the fence between companies. read more

I've had my installation for almost two years now. My system still works great. I have the Silevo panels, the ones from the company that was later acquired by Solar City.I haven't seen any noticeable reduction in efficiency so if these were to last 30 years without any appreciable efficiency loss I wouldn't be surprised. I also have the solar monitoring so you can see how much you are saving the world with the click of a button. I slightly oversized my system because I will some day get air conditioning, although I haven't found a need yet. Fans on the second floor have been doing the trick of keeping my house cool during the summer. So instead, I've been making surplus electricity and getting a check these past two years from SCE. Definitely recommend this company. Good people, very professional. They do a good job of providing you a very detailed estimate and good communication during the installation with myself as well as with the city permit office. read more

This company is amazing! Ashton, our salesman was honest, helpful and knowledgeable! We have looked into getting solar with a lot of different companies over the years but only Option One could give us the whole package. Price was right, customer service is great, quick and professional installation. We are super happy with our solar! read more

This company does excellent work. I've had my share of bad experiences with contractors, and I am fairly demanding and expect people to want to do superior work. But I like to push the envelope and I want it how I want it. I'm picky. Regarding Option One, my experience was better than I could have ever expected. Everything from the very beginning when they emailed me different options, to discussing it with them in person and looking at my house together, to the super clean install, and then on the back end to have them button up all of the stuff with the city and Edison, this is a world-class operation. I am super impressed and grateful. Their work looks like an original, new build type of construction -- they even painted around the panel and on the wall of the house where the electrician left it unfinished. Their team of installers was always super respectful, clean, and happy to explain everything -- even problems they had. I was also updated every, single day by one of the great ladies from the office to explain what they did that day and what is next. This was just incredible, and I'm extremely happy with the result. If only every company that we hire could be like Option One! read more

The work was done completely and efficiently by Alex, Steve, Victor and Jim. I highly recommend Option One Solar.

Option One Solar has been helping us with a installation done by another contractor that went bankrupt a few months after we bought. They had to rewire all the panels and did an excellent job. Their customer service is also 5 star with great communication on many levels. We would highly recommend Option One Solar for any new installation or repairs.

After dealing with a few contractors the last few years it was such a great surprise to deal with OptionOne. from the very first meeting with Dave (sales), Natasha (coordinator), Scott(Owner) and Esmeralda (Sales Support), every one has been very professional, helpful, and informative. They managed to keep me informed as the project moved through all the processes involved. The young man that came out for the site approval (can't remember his name) with his drone was very impressive. Waiting now for the installation and completion next week. I expect the install crew will meet the companies high standard of employees and am looking forward to their arrival. read more

I couldn't be happier! They are professional, the have excellent customer service, and were always on time! I have had solar before in a previous home and the process seemed to take forever, cost quite a bit more and they were not reliable. This company was great and I feel like they were so honest in everything. Scott built my system and had it installed within 2 weeks. We did our financing through Option One and Amanda was fantastic and had it completed within a few days. Debbie in the office coordinated all of the inspections and paperwork with the city and we had no issues at all. This time it seemed so much easier. If your interested in solar definitely give these guys a call. read more

Our experience with Option One Solar was outstanding. It all started with our salesman Orlando who was very thorough trying to get me the best system for our Solar needs. We looked into other different companies but Orlando and Solar One gave us the best bang for our buck. Debbie our project coordinator was very good at communicating what was going on and when it would happen. The crew that came to set up everything were very courteous on time, professional and they did a great job. They were able to get all our panels and everything set up and working in one day. Debbie handled everything and we didn't have to do a thing. We have been very happy with the whole process. Thank you Option One Solar read more

From quote to commission Option One Solar performed flawlessly. Pricing was great for the quality of components installed and excellent support services received. They'll take care of everything. The timeline from quote to install was very fast and they made sure to fit us in early when they could. We choose Option One primarily for the quality components in the system, honest and straightforward quote and company reputation. Supporting our local business community was a plus. Thanks to Ryan, Debbie and all at Option One for a great experience. Keep it up... Bound to get real busy next year! read more

I really enjoyed working with Option One Solar. Our rep is Mike Robles. He was available when ever we had any questions. Believe me we had so many questions through the entire process. What I really liked that even the owner was available to help with anything we needed. Most companies you never get to speak to the owner but not in this case. My favorite thing about Option One Solar is this company represents what an Equal Opportunity Employer is. Thank you Option One Solar for helping us every step of the way. read more

First I would like to say there are a lot of company's saying they take care of all the process with solar. However first u have to get through multiple people just to get the right answer. Well my experience with optionone solar was by far the best company to go with for any solar work. From start to finish I had one person to rely on with updated info. The crew they have installer their products. Was professional and detailed to there work. The office staff was number 1. Every person from start to finish was knowledgeable and pleasant, also any question if not able to answer they will find the answer ASAP. Thanks optiononesolar thanks for your continued excellence to satisfaction for project from start to finish. You are the only company I will recommend. read more

Great Team and great service! We love our new solar system and felt confident in going with Option One Solar after sorting through many other solar companies. They were very responsive to my questions and installed the hardware just they way I wanted. Let em know Keith sent you! read more

See all

By far the best choice out there for residential solar! I did a ton of research on different system components and contacted maybe a dozen different installers, and Option One was the only company I felt fully confident putting my trust into for such a large and important purchase. Everyone I dealt with (Tracy in sales, Esmeralda in finance, Natasha my project coordinator, and Scott the owner) was stellar when it came to communication and accommodating all my questions. No pressure to sign the contract - they let me take my time with all my own research I wanted to do. They handled literally every aspect of the install from the moment I signed the contract: coordinating the roofing work, permitting, installation, and inspection. All the installers (Brandon, Ian, Andrew, Steven and Victor) really cared about the final product and went out of their way to make sure every detail was taken care of, and treated it like they were installing on their own forever-home. Don't hesitate to contact them, and be confident you'll get incredible customer service and results. Thanks everyone! read more

Professional, Best Service, Efficient!!!! I can't say enough good things about Option One Solar. We called them, Scott came out the next day, he brought a sample panel, they started work the following week and then before we knew it, we were done. Installed within 2 weeks. We had spoke with other solar companies, but they did not compare. Customer service was excellent, if we had a question it was answered immediately. One click and you can see your savings, production, and can't wait to get the check from SCE. This is the company to go with for your solar needs. Tina D. read more

The work crew and Sierra were just outstanding. Sierra was so on the ball keeping us informed on updates and handling any issues that came up. Not a huge fan of the "sales" person, but once we got past him it was smooth sailing. Can't wait for solar to kick in. Thanks Option One Solar. read more

We asked and shopped around, Costco/Sun Run, Solar City/Tesla, Solar Shoppers, Vivint. All gave us an around about same number for cost and financing, but then we noticed differences in panel strength and the amount of panels stated were needed for our average energy usage was different for each company, from 16-22 panels. Internet calculators suggested 15... So we decided to look for a solar company with a longer work experience history and an electrician background to explain our research and why we were getting so many different quotes. Option One Solar is that company. We were able to vet everything their sales rep stated, from company history, finance bank to type of panels being used. And when their quote came in, it matched our research of 15 panels, which we never stated. Pretty up-to-date and honest company. read more

I chose Option One Solar based on the professional quote that detailed every step of the process. They offered the panels that i was interested in and were able to do the ground mount install that made the most sense for my property. The install was complicated by the need for a easement which was handled by their team and I was kept informed each step of the way. Every team member that came to my house for the install was professional and knowledgeable and I was called in advance for each visit with the time the people would arrive and what step would be completed. Thanks to Scott, Heather, Debbie, and all the members of the Option One team for making this project easy. read more

My selection of Option One Solar was based on (1) the impressive credentials of the patriarch and founder, (2) the solar panels, inverter, and equipment they presented, and (3) their association with Ygrene financing applying the PACE program benefits. Communication was excellent throughout the process and project. Work was done quickly and completed in time to meet the net metering window of opportunity. Great experience. read more

I wanted to say thank you to the team for helping out a fellow contractor. Customer Service was awesome. For anybody looking for solar from a local company I would call Option Solar. read more

After my original post the owner of the company contacted me asking what happened that I gave them 4 stars. I explained what happened, he had no idea and apologized and stated it never should have happened. He did what he could to make it right. read more

Option One has been phenomenal from start to finish. I had a terrible experience with a previous contractor that was operating inappropriately and I shifted gears and went with Option One. What a night and day difference. They are a family owned business and have wonderful customer service, which is difficult to find these days. My salesman Chad is an honest, hard working guy who explains everything to you and will answer any question you have. He made sure everything was in order with our process and really helped me understand things. I spoke with Scott for a while during my vetting process (due to my issues with the previous "contractor") and he was top notch. His son Trever was extremely helpful and organized from start to finish with the project and kept me informed along the way. Everything was sent to me via email including all of my documentation with Edison. When I had questions about Time Of Use, they were answered and explained thoroughly. Option One is very well structured and organized, making sure details are taken care of. I worked with the install crew since I had a unique setup at my home, and the crew was great. I highly recommend Option One. My wife and I couldn't be happier. read more

Option One Solar is the best of the best. Great customer service, very knowledgeable, and they supply a great product, the best in the industry. I'm very picky and usually don't write reviews. They installed my Tesla charger and my home solar system and I couldn't be happier. Scott, his staff and his installers are all awesome and they do super clean work. read more

Contacted these guys to obtain a quote on solar installation. I went to their website and was able to set an appt. for today at 10am. I made this appt. yesterday in the daytime, while I was at work yesterday so I could not answer my phone or had time to make a call. Their sales consultant Ashton called me towards the latter part of the evening to tell me that they received the appt. and everything would be fine and he was looking forward to it. It just needed to know my usage details so that he could offer me the best product that meets my needs. I was unable to call him back last night, so I receive a call this morning, but this time he wanted my service acct. number and stated that he was confirming our appt. this morning at 10am. Being at work again, I had made arrangements with my wife to be home at 10 to meet the consultant and go over what obtaining solar entails. She had several errands to do today and her time was just as valuable as anyone else's. The rep sent an email at the same time as the phone call, but mentioned in the email he would need my account number again, or my usage details meaning my annual kwh usage. However, in the email, he stated that they would then set up an appt. to meet. Wait, I thought I had already set up an appt. on your website for 10am this morning??? Secondly, I NEVER give anyone my acct. numbers to anything I don't care who it is. I replied to his email and stated that my usage rarely goes over 5kwh as I had already pulled the info from Edison's website yesterday. I told him a 5kw or a 6kw would be sufficient and said that I thought we already had an appt set for 10am this morning. He replies about 1130, an hour and a half after he was supposed to meet at my home, and states exactly this, "Yes that is correct however we need information about your usage to be accurate in our assessment for you. Please give me a call at your earliest convenience to serve you." But WAIT... I thought we already HAD an appt for this morning, hence telling my wife to be there at 10, AND.. didn't I just tell you my usage?!! After that, I replied that I just explained my usage and pulled it directly from Edison's website and was looking at the yearly usage. I mentioned though that I had made a mistake in contacting them since now he missed the appt. we had set and I told my wife to be at home for nothing. Please cancel everything from this point forward. He replied a simple no problem, I understand. No apology, no nothing. What a way to start off with a company let me tell you! Their loss, I was going to get solar as soon as next month. I contacted 3 other companies and not one was waiting on my to give them my account information before they came out to meet with me. Don't use this company. Their customer service is seriously lacking! read more

Option One installed a 10 KW, 32 panel solar system on my N. Tustin home in November 2016. I selected Option One based primarily on the specific comments they supplied and price. I was a bit concerned that their location in Apple Valley might be too far for good customer service, but this turned out to be wrong. They provided excellent customer service. Their people are both knowledgeable and very friendly. The installation work and equipment were very high quality and the system is operating well. They handled the interface with the Orange County inspectors which had just recently changed their inspection requirements and Option One managed to get everything squared away. If I had to do it again, Option One would be my first choice. read more

OptionOne installed solar panels on my roof a couple of months ago and I couldn't be any happier! It's a great feeling to see the electric company owe me money for once. OptionOne did a great job with the install, their staff was knowledgeable about the solar panels and answer all my questions, they were quick to get the job started and followed up with my electric company and city so that all the paperwork was correct and moving along. I did my homework before I hired OptionOne and they are legit. A lot of these commercialize solar companies just want to gouge you and move on to the next person. I've already recommended OptionOne to a friend and will continue to do so. read more

I highly recommend Option One Solar. They were very helpful and professional in both presentation and sales of their products. The bids they gave us were the lowest we could find, and they delivered even more than promised. Please at least give these guys a shot. read more

Trustworthy and efficient. After 4 other bids, Option one was clearly lowest, and with top of the line equipment. Installation was quick and professional looking. read more

These guys are the best. Professional, courteous, clean and patient. The crew is a pleasure to work with and they exceeded my expectations. The office staff is knowledgeable on every aspect of the project, they are also a pleasure to work with and their constant communication on the schedule and as events unfolded was very much appreciated. They see the project through to the end even when the city inspector is overzealous in his duties :) Highly recommend them. read more

Option One Solar are true "local" solar experts for the high desert. It was a pleasure dealing with Scott and his staff. They designed and crafted the best installation for our Apple Valley home. I did look at other solar providers, but they could not match the experience, price, and service Option One gave me. I can't say enough how Scott successfully worked through all the electric utility paperwork and delays. My advice is to buy local and get the best equipment and service. I highly recommend them and they gave me a $500 check for referring my neighbor. read more

Thank you so much for the professional job you have done from start to finish in installing solar on our home. Your crew was very nice and did exceptionally clean work. Your office staff were very helpful and always available. read more

I was having a very bad experience (51 days with nothing happening, multiple phone calls, and nothing but excuses) with a competitor solar company and was SO ready to fire them. I received a call out of the blue from Paul, from an inquiry I filled out previously. I explained what I was going through and Paul & Scott came out to evaluate my situation within the hour after I hung up the phone. After getting the run around from the previous company I put Scott and Paul through the grinder and was probably not a nice customer (SORRY). Scott, proceeded to tell me how he can get the job done without hesitation and would put it in writing. As for price, he beat the other guys with out me beating him up and included extra's the other Co. didn't. The great news is, I didn't have to make numerous calls to get an update(actually I made none), Heather, Megan and Frank always kept me informed. Scott's team did a fantastic job installing my panels as well as all the extra's I asked him to do in my shop. I am VERY happy to say, Scott's people pulled of a miracle in my opinion and came through ahead of schedule. I WILL refer Option One Solar to every person I know that is interested in a solar system. I know this was a lengthy review, but I feel Option One went above & beyond to make me a happy customer and I can't say enough good things about them. Thanks again Option One Team!!! Dirk & Jessie Flejter Oak Hills P.S. I hope Pel Solar reads this!!! read more

Option One and their staff were great to work with. Very professional and attentive to every detail. This was the only solar company I have found that I can actually trust. I recommend them to anyone that asks me about my solar read more

The solar company who installed our solar closed their doors. Our system encountered many problems, and we had to find a solar company that would correct the sloppy installation of our solar. Option One stepped up to the plate in correcting unsafe connectors, poor installation, and unsafe parts. The owner and staff were always considerate and understanding of our problems. I wish they had installed our panels. read more

We installed a full-usage array on our home earlier this year. After doing extensive research on the technology and applications, we solicited bids from multiple vendors and subjected each to a rigorous selection process. Option One was the most forthright, professional, and expert team that we had contact with. The work was done correctly and accurately and we're getting production exactly in line with the design specifications. These guys know their stuff and they get it done right. No more paying Edison for every kilowatt-hour, because we are making it all! I recommend Option One to anyone looking for solar power expertise. read more
