Natasha was professional and very clear with communication from the start. She set proper expectations on communication with Tesla would take a week or two. The day she received the go ahead from Tesla she called and scheduled the install asap 4 days out. Later the same day they had a cancellation and were able to get everything scheduled the next day. Anthony and Jeremiah arrived at the beginning of the arrival window! They were professional, great with communication, and ready to work. I had several questions and they were prepared for all of them and super helpful. The battery removal and install took less than an hour. Naturally Tesla's update took twice as long. LOL. Still total time was under 3 hours. I have managed 100s of installers and worked in Solar, this was a fantastic expierence! Because the Tesla 3 has more storage than the 2 I asked about adding some of my Breakers to the back-up and they had options for us to do that. Obviously we Highly Recommend This Team!

Final Update: I just had Option One out at my home today to replace my inverters and I'm very happy…read moreto report my system looks to be back to fully working. The installers were awesome and got me going quickly. So regarding the communication issues I had with the company, things happen, people get busy and sometimes delays do occur. I'm just glad we were able to get everything resolved. Pricing, I did get a couple of additional quotes and Option One blew them out of the water. Could it be those other companies assumed I needed the parts and labor? Maybe, but I was very clear that I had the parts already. Bottom line it never hurts getting quotes and going from there. Service, so I got all the paperwork done yesterday early afternoon and was scheduled today (5/1) at 8am. I do realize there needs to be a buffer between appointment time and actual arrival time, I usually just assume an hour after the appointment time. But the techs were here at almost exactly 8am. As I have very limited knowledge on solar panels, the fact none of them fell off my roof (panels or techs) and nothing blew up, then it's safe to say they did a fantastic job. In the end my system is fixed and I'm happy. Also if I ever need work done on my system again I'm calling these guys up.

I had gotten many quotes for a solar system in the past and have know of OC Solar when they first…read moreintroduced me the solar roof. While the solar roof was way out of our budget, the solar panel and powerwall system that they've configured for me was well beyond what I expected and was well within reasonable cost. Sun Run was out of the question, and even Tesla themselves weren't able to meet the final project demands when they first designed my system. OC Solar was the only who actually met my needs and were on top of the whole project timeline. Look no further than these guys. They did a wonderful job and would go to them in the future for my other solar needs. Ask for Brooklynn and she'll take care of you, without a doubt.

"Too good to be true."…read more Literally that was my thought throughout my recent experience with UniverCity. I'd been stalled for a year with Tesla and was giving up hope I could get my solar expansion project in before the tax credits expire. I reached out to a few local contractors, and these guys came under every other bid. In design, they managed to fit more south-facing panels with limited roof real estate, compared to two previous designs I received. Every other contractor said any new panels would be incompatible with my existing system, which was a problem since I wanted the full capacity for the batteries I was adding. UniverCity said no problem. It ended up taking them three times as long to get the two systems talking to each other and they had to try two new panels before they could get it to work. But they didn't change the contract on me. There were some hiccups at the end getting through inspection. But they were fair, received my feedback, and got me to the finish line. David, Frank, Aaron - thank you. Just a terrific experience all round.

I do not normally leave negative reviews, but after nearly 10 years, I feel it is important to…read moreshare my experience. Before posting this review, I made every reasonable effort to resolve these issues directly with the company. I sent a formal letter over a year and a half ago outlining my concerns and requesting assistance, but I never received a response. More recently, I sent another detailed email, giving the company 14 days to respond with a plan to address these longstanding issues. That deadline has now passed, and once again, I received no response. This company installed my solar system in 2016. At the time of purchase, I was given expectations regarding the amount of energy the system would produce and the savings it would provide. Unfortunately, those expectations have never been met. In nearly ten years, my system has never produced the level of solar energy that was represented when I made this investment. As a result, I have spent thousands of dollars out of pocket on Southern California Edison bills that I reasonably expected my solar system would significantly reduce. Instead of receiving the savings I was promised, I have continued paying far more for electricity than I ever anticipated. What has been most disappointing is the lack of follow-through. The company has been aware of issues with my system for years, yet they remain unresolved. Despite numerous phone calls and emails over the years, I have received little to no communication, no meaningful updates, and no proactive effort to correct the ongoing problems. There were also issues from the very beginning. When my system was installed in 2016, I was never provided with the monitoring equipment that was supposed to come with it, nor was I informed that there was a monitoring app available. Without those tools, I had no way of monitoring my system's production or knowing that it was consistently underperforming. After years of phone calls and emails to the corporate office, I finally got someone to come out in 2023 to install the monitoring equipment that should have been installed from the beginning. It was only then that I learned there was an app that allowed me to monitor my system. During that same visit, the technician determined that my microinverters needed to be replaced. The replacement microinverters were shipped to my home, and the technician returned to pick them up for installation. However, the work was never completed. The technician left with the new equipment and never returned to finish the job. Despite additional attempts to follow up, I was once again left without answers or a resolution. I understand that mistakes happen and that every company occasionally encounters challenges. However, this is no longer a matter of a simple mistake or a temporary inconvenience. This has been an unresolved issue for nearly a decade. My goal has never been to leave a negative review. My goal has always been to have the solar system I paid for perform as it was represented and to have the company stand behind its product and installation. Unfortunately, after almost ten years, thousands of dollars in unexpected utility costs, years of unanswered phone calls and emails, an incomplete repair, and two formal written requests that went unanswered, I have been left with no meaningful communication and no resolution. I sincerely hope this review encourages the company to finally contact me, complete the repairs that should have been completed years ago, thoroughly evaluate my system, determine why it has consistently failed to meet the promised production, and stand behind the product they sold me. If the company reaches out with a genuine commitment to resolving these issues, I will gladly update this review to reflect that experience. I would much rather write about a company that ultimately made things right than one that chose not to.

I have so many good things to say about Sigway Energy…read more For starters, my installation cost about 30% less than what I was quoted by the big solar installers (Solar City, etc.).   They were incredibly easy to work with.  They helped me to come up with the best solution for my energy needs.  They took time to answer all my questions and I never felt as though I was being rushed to make a decision.   When it was time for installation, they were incredibly fast and professional, not to mention fun!  Moreover, we had a set back, I hadn't looked at my roof and it turned out it needed to be replaced.  The team took it in stride, coordinated the roof replacement, and still managed to get the project done on time. I definitely recommend Sigway Energy for your solar installation.

Buyers Beware!! We…read moreare having an awful experience with this company. They used a classic "bait and switch" technique on us. My wife and I "own" the solar panels that came attached to our new DR Horton home; however, after living in the house for one year, we decided to purchase additional solar panels from an agent we encountered at a kiosk at the local mall. The friendly sales agent visited our home a few times in an effort to convince us, because I was beginning to get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. With each visit, the salesman commended us on making such a wise decision to "purchase" solar panels. He discussed all the tax benefits that come along with solar panel ownership, before finally having us sign a digital contract on his hand-held device. Immediately, I asked for a copy of the contract I had just signed, but I was told that the installer would bring the contract to our home in a matter of weeks. However, weeks later, when the installers arrived they had no contract for us. They told us the contract would most likely come in the mail. (Well, it never arrived.) Now that it's February, it's time for us to prepare our taxes. Hence, we telephoned the company to inquire about when we could expect to receive solar panel tax documents. To our astonishment, we were told that we hadn't "purchased" the panels; rather, that we are "leasing" them from the company. Furthermore, the agent suggested that their company would be receiving the tax credits, not us. We rushed to our filing cabinet, in search of our contract, only to discover that it was never sent to us! We would never "lease" solar panels from anyone!! Even when we first purchased our home, we were faced the choice to either "lease" the panels that came with our home, or "purchase" them. We Purchased them. That was a No-brainer decision to make. Similarly, we would never then choose to "lease" solar panels from this new, particularly-deceptive company. We plan to fight this tooth and nail. Moreover, we would never want this to happen to anyone else. Dr. Griffin
