    I had the best experience with SoCal energy) After shopping around and getting a few estimates Simon from SoCal energy came, he was so professional and explained me everything about the process ad how the Repeat process work. The instillation took him 2 days only and the left everything so clean and organized that even the city inspector was saying that I made good choice. Definitely recommend to everyone who look for great company with excellent customer service experience)))

    We were in the process of getting our roof done recently and having solar on the roof, we reached out to SoCal Energy to see if they could assist with removing the solar so we can get the roof done and re install it back after the roof was completed. This company did a superb job from beginning to end! The communication was great, the process was smooth, fast and everything put back as was. This company is extremely easy to work with and I recommend if anyone is having a reroof done , to contact SoCal Energy! Thanks guys!

    We had been trying to get solar and a new roof on our 1950 era house for a couple of years. We had bad luck with some other contractors backing out at the last minute. We had an Amazing experience with Sacal Solar. They explained the very complicated process, helped us determine a plan that would best meet our current and anticipated needs, and addressed our concern that the panels be as unobtrusive as possible. Also he has had very good communication and follow up. I feel very comfortable referring him to friends and family!

    These guys are top notch. I found them on Yelp and gave them a call. They were very responsive and came out to me within 24 hours to go over the way everything works and give me a quote. After meeting with them I knew this was the right company for me. The installation process was excellent, smooth and painless. The crew was extremely professional and detailed about what they were doing. Highly recommend. Hard to find honest good work and at a fair price these days.

We are so happy and satisfied with our system and our bills have gone from $300 plus a month to less than $40 a month.

I really appreciate the direct accountability and quick resolution. I'm leaving my original review below for transparency, but their prompt response today restored my confidence in their management. I originally had a positive experience with California Solar Electric during my 10.12 kW solar and Powerwall 3 installation last year. Unfortunately, their post-install customer support and business ethics are nonexistent. I referred a friend who completed their installation months ago. I was explicitly promised a $500 referral bonus for this. After months of waiting, I tried following up multiple times privately to give them a chance to make it right, but I am now being completely ignored. It's a shame because I have several neighbors here in Fountain Valley who are currently shopping around for solar and battery storage. I was planning to refer them here, but I cannot recommend a company that fails to honor its own written agreements and ducks communication. Buyer beware: the installation team does good work, but do not trust a word management says about referral incentives or post-sale promises. Still waiting for my $500.

We started the process around May 2025. I had the opportunity to speak with different people for each stage and they were all friendly and answered all my questions. They followed up and explained each step of the way especially with permits for our city and other paperwork for the state of California. Each stage had a smooth transition due to the communication and app used to show where the stage was. For installation, all staff and subcontractor of installation was so knowledgable and helpful. They were there with each inspection and permit required through fire department, city and utility company. The process for regulations of being updated and new and the complexity of communicating and coordinating was clear. All passed and I love my solar panels, storage battery backup powerwall, all thanks to NRG Clean Power. The proposal was thorough and pricing matched to the end of the project. Thank you so much, NRG Power staff for providing superb customer support through a long tedious process for permits, inspections and installation.

Has a professional installation crew and executes flawlessly and everything stays on track. Incredible follow-up and will not try to upsell you like other installers. If you're looking to install solar, you should absolutely go with OneSun. Give Rose a call to at least get a consultation and I'm sure your interaction will immediately stand out from other installers. Installing solar is something I kept putting off. When I found out that the tax credit would be going away at the end of 2025, I realized I couldn't put it off any longer. One of the reasons I kept waiting was how annoying solar reps were. Clearly just sales guys who didn't actually know anything about the equipment, technology, and process. I did a bit of research on local installers and OneSun came up a few times, all with nothing but great things to say and especially highlighted the installer's knowledge and patience. Before reaching out to OneSun, I informed myself as much as I could to the point that I knew what panels I wanted, size system, even what inverters I wanted installed. My first phone call with Rose immediately proved that all of the positive feedback I had read was for a reason. She took the time to actually listen to the specifics of my project, what I was looking for, and what questions I still had based on my research. She took the time to answer every question and even went into the technical details that I was interested in. It was clear that she was extremely familiar with not just the logistics, but also exactly how a solar system works as well as the technical details of all of the components in a system. She had my business after that first meeting but of course I still did my due diligence and got a quote from one other local installer which also had similar reviews. Although the sales rep was very nice, it was clear that he was just a sales rep and only reinforced why OneSun was the installer to go with. OneSun's pricing happened to be better but even if the other installer would have come in at a cheaper quote, I would have still chosen OneSun for the install. Rose started the permit process in July and made sure that everything stayed on track, especially since I wanted to make sure that the system be on before the end of the year in order to qualify for the tax credit. The timelines she provided were right on point and the install was scheduled for September. About a week before the install date, there was an unexpected problem. The panels that were originally planned for my install had gone completely out of stock. There had been some kind of manufacturing issue and those panel would not be coming back in stock for another couple of months which could push the project out to the following year. Rose let me know she could acquire slightly larger panels for the project and install it on schedule. I was about to ask what the additional cost for the larger panels would be, but before I was able to, she let me know that there would be no additional cost to me. I'm sure any other installer would have used the situation as leverage to add additional cost to the project. A testament to Rose's commitment to her customers. On installation day, the crew was professional and efficient. They completed everything in one day and made sure to keep everything as clean and organized as possible. Towards the end of the install, I had noticed that they ran one of the grounding wires out from the attic and down the face of the house where I had planned on completing another project in the near future. I knew that the wire would need to be redirected if it was left there so I asked the foreman if he could run it through a different path. Initially he felt like it would not be possible given the layout. I reached out to Rose just to make sure and see if she possibly had another solution. About 10 minutes later the foreman showed me another possible option which was much better for what I needed. It may have seemed like a small thing, but that was another instance in which I believe any other installer would have dismissed my request as pickiness and told me there was nothing else they could do. Rose took the time to speak with her foreman and truly assessed the situation to come up with a solution that fit my needs. It took LADWP about 6 weeks to get my meter installed and for my system to be turned on, but it was still well before the end of the year (and yes, I just got my tax refund with that hefty solar tax credit). It's rare to come across someone like Rose who is honest, patient, and who truly has her customer's best interest at heart. Combine that with impeccable execution and communication, and there is no one else I would recommend for a solar install project. In fact, my parents are considering a small project and I've already told them about Rose/OneSun.

    When I first contemplated getting solar panels for our house, the entire process looked daunting. I…read moredidn't know anything about the technology or equipment and I felt ill prepared to make any decisions about what our house needed. There are so many companies out there, it's hard to know who to trust. As soon as I did a few online searches, I was flooded with emails and texts from multiple companies with high pressure sales pitches. One company charged me $350 to do a site survey, just to get a quote for the project, then came back with a revised quote adding $7000 to dig a trench for electrical wiring due to "the location" of our electrical panel. I found OneSun on a yelp search and as soon as I spoke with Rose Avakian, I knew my search was over. This company stands out from the others. There was no sales pitch, pressure, or upsell. Rose explained the technology and equipment in a way that made it understandable and approachable. When her team came to look at our place, they found no need to dig a trench and simply connected to our existing electrical panel. Had they needed to dig a trench, the price they quoted was nowhere near $7000.  From start to finish, the entire experience was transparent, seamless, professional and expedient. The attention to detail and care the team put into making sure everything was done right far exceeded my expectations. If you're looking to go solar, look no further than Rose and OneSun. This is truly the best company I've ever worked with!

At the time, I was also paying both my solar payment and an SCE electric bill, so my electricity costs had actually increased. After seeing my review, Silverline Solar reached out and took ownership of the issues. They corrected the wiring, repaired the damaged roof tiles, and fixed the interior ceiling damage caused by the leak. They also credited me for the electricity I paid to SCE during the past 10 months while the system issues were being resolved. Now that I'm about 10 months in, it looks like my electricity bill may end up around $0, which is what I originally expected when going solar. While the installation wasn't done right the first time, I genuinely appreciate that Silverline Solar stood by their work, owned the mistakes, and made things right. Their willingness to address the problems and follow through gave me confidence in their service. Because of that, I would recommend them. Please reach out if you have any questions. I'm happy to share my experience.

Ruben and the install crew were punctual, efficient, and respectful of my home. The system was installed cleanly and looks great on my roof. Ehud, the installation manager, stayed on top of every detail and made sure everything was done right. Jason, the tech expert, took the time to explain how the system works and made sure everything was fully operational before wrapping up. What really stood out was the communication and teamwork. Every step was explained clearly, timelines were met, and there were no surprises. If you're considering solar and want a company that is professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about doing things the right way, I highly recommend Green Hill Solar.

    I'd highly recommend Solar Optimum and Roofing Optimum…read more We've had our solar system from Solar Optimum for more than 10 years, and our experience is a great example of why choosing the right company from the beginning matters. They installed a high-quality system that has performed extremely well over the years. At one point, both of our inverters experienced a manufacturer-related issue. In fact, Solar Optimum identified the problem before we even realized something was wrong. They worked directly with the manufacturer to secure a replacement inverter at no cost and handled the installation quickly and professionally. When it came time to replace our roof, we didn't hesitate to reach out to Solar Optimum again. Their GAF Master Elite certification and the advantages of having the same company manage both the solar and roofing work provided tremendous peace of mind. The warranty benefits are excellent, and the roofing warranty is transferable, which adds real value and is something many roofing companies do not offer. We recently completed a full solar removal, reroof, and solar reinstallation project with the Optimum team, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. The entire project was completed in about a week, exactly in line with the schedule that was provided at the start. The crews showed up on time, worked hard, communicated well, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day despite the significant amount of work involved. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and well-managed. It's rare to find a company that delivers this level of service over a relationship spanning more than a decade. We couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend Solar Optimum and Roofing Optimum.
