    The 4th year production shows improvement over the 3rd year as I kept the panels clean. However,…read moreit's still about 4.8% below the minimum guaranteed production (accounting 0.25% maximum annual panel degradation). It's 4 year in a row now the system failed to produce the minimum guaranteed production. AWS Solar chose to compensate for the shortfall again; we'll see what the 5th year production looks like. I suggested replacing some of the panels with the higher power ones to solve the issue, but I guess they want to see more data.

    I hired AWS Solar to install solar panels on my home In May 2026. They completed the job a few…read moreweeks later. They did a very good jod. I am pleased. However, upon completeing the job, the project manager Tim Broughton called me, helped me log on to the Enphase app so that I could monitor the panels. After I confirmed that I was logged in, I was told that I was up and running And they were done. I was happy thinking I was now running on the sun. Wrong. So very wrong. I received my electric bill and astonished to see the electric portion was over $800.00. I called the power company and was told that the $130.00 application fee had not been paid. I notified Mr. Broughton and he immediatley saw that the bill for the application fee was paid and apologized for the error. Now the fun begins. I called the power company and asked when they would be out to install the proper meter for solar panels. I was informed that no application for a meter to be installed was on file and that I had to submit an application for interconnection. Hmm? No one mentioned anything to me about completing and application or that I had to contact the power company. I completed the PTO (Permission to Operate) form and based on the questions being asked and the information I needed to provide leads me to believe the Solar company was responsible for completing this form and sending the required fee. Ok. Lets not look to for someone to blame, lets just get the proper meter installed. I completed the PTO and submitted it. The power company came out a couple of weeks later and installed the a new meter. Onlyit was not a meter for solar panels. They installed the same new meter but it was the same meter as the meter I already had. I asked them why they didn't put on a solar meter and I was told that I needed to submit a PTO for a SOLAR METER, which is different. And by the way, they have a special person that installs solar meters and a special person to install regular meters. This seemed rather stupid to me. I ask the power comapany rep for the contact info for the solar department and he told he didn't know. I won't name the power company. LADwp. The one good thing the DWP rep did upon arriving to his office was to send an email to contact the proper department at the power company. I assumed he would have just gone about his business and let me flounder. I started on the second application which asked for job site photos. This was to me another indication that the solar installer was suppose to complete this form because Joe Citizen would not know what photos they were required. I did observe that periodically, the workers would take photos, but none were ever sent to me. Now I'm in the middle of August 2026 with fingers, legs, arms, eyes and anything else, maybe the dogs and cats, crossed hoping that this time I will get a meter. The bottom line is I would still recommend AWS SOLAR to anyone, but I'd have to caution them to make sure they get you connected and ALL fees are paid. Because I was dealing with the City of LA and being constantly sent to voice mail and waiting for call backs, this experience was horrendous.

    California Solar and Electric. CS&E is simply the best. Call Mark Howe. Honest, reliable,…read moreprofessional, skilled and highly competitive. Best warranty and quality materials and labor. 949 637-9108. They are out of Santa Clarita. 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. Also when the power has gone out in our neighborhood the battery backup has saved the day. Stellar value, workmanship, professionalism and service plus a 25 year warranty. Highly recommended

    Within an hour of posting my initial review regarding a delayed referral bonus, the owner…read morepersonally reached out, apologized for the administrative oversight, and sent the $500 immediately. 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.

    I can't recommend Plug It In Solar enough. From start to finish, their communication was…read moreoutstanding--every email and text was crystal clear, and they were on top of every detail. Seth Bradburry was a champ! PlugItInSolar is lucky to have him! I tried several other companies that only treated solar as an afterthought, but Plug It In Solar, a premier Tesla Energy installer, is the real deal--they're absolute pros at what they do. They even helped me find the best spot for my Tesla Powerwall, going back and forth until we got it just right. They've really earned this five-star review!

You can tell they take pride in their work--every detail was handled carefully and professionally. The quality of the job exceeded my expectations, and they made the whole process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, detail-oriented, and truly excellent service. One thing that we loved, was how they concealed / painted all the steel piping. They color matched to the color of our house. Unlike my neighbors who used other companies, they have steel (almost chrome) pipes that are visible throughout the exterior of their houses (refer the attached photos). The crews were beyond punctual. They would show up early in the morning before their scheduled start time and leave late into the evening hours. My wife and I would like to thank the crews and their assistants; Aaron, Mike, Joseph, Mario, Javier Edger Richard Alejandro. As well as the project Managers Issac and Sierra, who kept my wife and I in the loop constantly, they were awesome at communicating and putting us at ease. Additionally, shielding us from having to deal with the city. Most importantly, I'd like to thank Mr. O and Mrs. S for all their honest and awesome products and services. I almost want to get more panels, because everyone was so nice and detailed. System: 33.5 kw Total Module Power 33 panels x 415 Watt Panels 20,911 KWh per year Battery: Tesla 13.5 kwh Powerwall 3

    Now that my project has finally been granted PTO, (after more than 3 months since "completion", and…read moreI do put that in quotes because apparently it wasn't fully completed until a few days ago), I can very honestly say that it was not a satisfactory experience having contracted my solar project with this company. Along the way, there were some work quality issues, delays in getting the application for PTO filled out correctly, (which Edison kicked back to the contractor at least twice for corrections), lack of communication from contractor, who were difficult to get a hold of- tried email, phone and text, and finally, after we finally got PTO from Edison, system wasn't working correctly and seems some very basic stuff like wiring the socket that the meter goes onto was botched. One wire was not making contact and the rest were not even stripped at the tip so that it could make appropriate contact with the socket terminals. Seems that if that had been done, we would have been able to make electricity for the month between when Edison installed the meter to the Tesla socket and we received PTO. Taking all that into consideration, we didn't get a good value for the price they charged. And yes, we did contract with this company. Jose, Larry and Matt are the employees we usually dealt with. Preston the sales agent was nice enough but if I were him, I would not push contracts with Current Energy.

    After being approached by countless solar companies, we chose to work with a solar broker to help…read moreus vet our options. Of all the companies reviewed, Current Energy stood out as the best fit for our needs. As a 22-year military veteran, I know the value of organization and mission-oriented execution. These guys operated like a well-oiled unit -- panels were up and the system running in a single day. I'll probably spend more time waiting on the state for final inspection than I did on the installation itself! From start to finish, Ryan and his team were absolute ROCKSTARS. Professional, efficient, and laser-focused on getting the job done right. I can't recommend these chaps highly enough. -- Frank Cerney, LCDR, USN (Retired)
