Bruce provided far, far beyond anything I expected. In addition to beautiful solar panels, I received a level of customer service I didn't know still existed in our current world. With Bruce you get: best prices, perfect solar install, honest explanations that even I could understand, perfect customer service even if things get difficult. I went with Bruce after speaking to a handful of Solar companies because of two main reasons: I got the best feeling from him, and he gave me the lowest quote. Win-win. What I DIDN'T expect is for Bruce to go even further beyond all that. Despite giving me the lowest quote? I have no doubt none of the other solar companies would have gone above and beyond for me like Bruce did. There were not just one, but several complications that arose due to previous conditions on my home that were discovered during the install. Instead of bailing on me due to the problems, Bruce helped me (a first time home owner) understand what was going on and help me solve the issues step-by-step.

Bruce was very easy to talk to, no sales pitch. He has a fastpass with SD city permit, got the permit, installation and passed inspection done in 2 weeks. Got solar financing referral from him with no prepayment penalty whatsoever. We can pay it down anytime, no restrictions unlike other proposals we got. They are Solaria preffered installer so they can get you the Solaria panels easy. We got the best price and trouble free installation. System: Solaria 370R PD with the new Enphase IQ 7A Microinverter (peak power 366w) Thank you Bruce and to your team!

Back in 2017 I saw a San Diego Solar Install yard sign while walking the dogs in my old neighborhood. I called Bruce and he came out to take a look at my house. After giving me his estimate, there was no pressure to sign (this was not the case with other bigger installers). Despite having a few estimates and doing a lot of research, I decided not to move forward with any solar at that time. Fast forward to 2022. I purchased a new house and was finally ready to install solar. I immediately thought of Bruce. I think that I remembered him because of his personality and obvious passion for his trade. In addition, I personally would only consider an Enphase system, and Bruce has been installing Enphase products for a long time. He immediately gave me another estimate. To my surprise, they could start the project right away. Working with San Diego Solar Install was incredibly refreshing. I am so sick of aggressive high pressure sales, flaky people, and cutting corners to save a few minutes. This experience was one of the best that I have had with a contractor. Bruce is an excellent communicator and project manager. His installation team was friendly, efficient, and did high quality work. They paid attention to detail when it came to things like conduit, combiner and panel location. The installation turned out looking great aesthetically. We walked our neighborhood aferwards and saw countless houses with ugly panels, conduit all over the place, inverters on the walls, etc. We are so happy with the way ours looks. The city inspection was scheduled quickly, and I expected to have to wait a week or so for SDG&E approval after it passed, but we had approval to operate within a couple of hours. Incredible! Please look no further than San Diego Solar Install for your solar.

San Diego Solar Install did a wonderful job getting the solar installed on my home. Bruce is really passionate about solar and i never got the "salesman" vibe from him. He is super responsive and keeps you updated throughout the solar process from contracts and permits, to installation and inspection. The city took longer to approve paperwork due to the COVID-19 pandemic but Bruce kept me updated throughout the process which was a relief. Brad got my panels installed over a couple days and they look beautiful. The jet black solaria panels are low profile and look slick. These guys really care about the customer and the service they are providing. From start to finish i was impressed by their attention to detail, care and communication. My solar install was completed and interconnected quickly and my system is generating enough solar to cover all my electric needs. I give these guys 5 stars and i recommend them to anyone who needs solar. Zero runaround, hidden charges etc. Honest upfront pricing, high quality work completed on schedule.

After installation Bruce setup the app with my array for real time monitoring of my array!

The entire process was so smooth and we couldn't believe how quickly and professionally the job was managed. I have no complaints about anything and would HIGHLY recommend SDSI for anyone looking to install solar. Bruce the owner is a wealth of knowledge and his team of installers are highly skilled and courteous. You really can not go wrong here, I am looking forward to getting batteries installed for my system by SDSI in a few years.

Picking a solar installer is possibly one the hardest decision a home owner makes. Questions like am I getting the right panels, am I paying to much or is this thing going to work and you could go on and on. I found Bruce hear on yelp and decided to call him based on his all 5 star ratings here and on google reviews. I had a couple of bids already before so I just gave him my monthly electric usage and the system size that is being recommended. He came back with a quote that is very reasonable so I had asked him to come over and look things over in person to make sure everything checks out. As soon as I spoke to him I knew that this is the guy to pick. No pressure, very transparent and very passionate about his business. Two weeks after that my 10K solar system is running. Brad his electrician and installer is top notch too. His work is clean, neat and not rushed. Thanks guys!

Ask the Community - San Diego Solar Install

I am curious Bruce, is Solaria 430 panels better in quality and productivity than REC alpha pure black panels?…

40 Years on Maxeon Panels 25 years on Enphase micro inverters 15 years on Enphase batteries.

What brand of panels do you use?

Maxeon/Solaria

Do you have a roofer look at the roofs prior to solar install? Some of those arrays are on failing roofs.

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.

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.

Whether it's routine maintenance or a bigger repair, they always deliver excellent results that I can count on. Recently, when our AC unit started acting up during a heat wave, Sam was the technician who came out. From the moment he arrived, Sam impressed me with his friendly, respectful attitude and clear communication. He took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue, explained everything in straightforward terms so I understood what was happening, and walked me through the recommended repairs without any upselling pressure. His work was meticulous and efficient--he got our system running perfectly again quickly, and even offered helpful tips on how to maintain it better going forward to avoid future problems. What stands out most is how well this entire team, including Sam, treats customers. They've always been courteous and caring with me and my family, making us feel valued rather than just another service call. Sam truly embodies the company's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone--especially if Sam is available! They're dependable, skilled, and genuinely nice people who stand behind their work. Five stars all the way. Thank you, Sam and the whole team!

For a fair price he ordered a universal motor and installed it, and the entire HVAC now works better than before. Adam was highly communicative throughout the process and what I appreciated most was his effort to find us an effective but least-cost solution. He saved us thousands of dollars by repairing instead of replacing. I would definitely use him again and recommend him.

Not to mention he had the best pricing and deal out of every other company!

As someone who relies on word-of-mouth reputation and customer service for my own personal business, this company fails across the board. 1) We had an issue with our solar panels so we called Solar Tech first thing in the morning. The phone operator told us we would get a call back from one of the techs later on that day. FIVE days went by before we even got a response back, and it was in the form of a text message asking us what problems we were having. If a customer is calling you for help, the last thing you should do is make them wait almost a week to get a response, and then have them explain to you what is wrong over text. Very poor professionalism. STRIKE 1. 2) The tech told us the next available appointment was 1 full week away, so not only did we wait FIVE full days for a text response, but we had to wait another full week for any resolution of service. STRIKE 2 3) The day of our appointment, thankfully, we had the first appointment of the day scheduled as we had a very busy day with other obligations so we were hoping to have everything completed by mid morning. After about 4 hours of the company no-show/no-call/no-text, we decided to call the company to find out the status of our appointment. We got a voicemail instead of someone live, so we left a message. A few hours later we finally got a call back saying someone will show up later that day. And they did finally show up at the very end of the workday. STRIKE 3 This was a very VERY disappointing experience. From poor follow up, poor customer service, and just a poor company all around. For someone like me, my sales/service business relies heavy on customer service. I've provided 1000s of recommendations and referrals of vendors for roofing, plumbing, solar, electrical work and more over the last 20 years, and i can say that I will never recommend this company as their lack of customer service would reflect very poorly on me and my business. The last thing I would ever want to do is upset a client or customer as they are the backbone of any business.
