We bought our solar system from Solar Optimum a little over a year ago and have been really happy with it! Definitely worth the money!! The whole process went smoothly from consultation, inspections, installation and system turn on. I actually inquired with several companies and chose them because we thought they offered the best deal and did not make us feel pressured or upsold. A coworker also recommended them which was reassuring. We did have a metering issue with SoCal Edison, and Solar Optimum was actually the one that caught the error. They were patient and understanding while Edison took over a month to fix it. Brandon, Jilbert and everyone I spoke with were always accommodating! Super recommend! Hopefully they continue to be just as great down the line if we ever need any work or service done. read more

I happy with my new solar system! and the entire process was smooth from start to finis with Solar Optimum. Shout to Nayeli for being so helpful throughout the installation process and answering all my questions. She was knowledgeable and quick with all my concerns. Highly recommend! read more

I'd highly recommend Solar Optimum and Roofing Optimum. 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. read more

Solar Optimum Glendale - Solar Installation Near Me - Glendale, California

It took me two years to finally pull the trigger because the amount of information out there was overwhelming, and I struggled to find a knowledgeable representative who could clearly explain everything. At one point, a door-to-door SunRun sales representative repeatedly pushed us to lease the panels, even though I was adamant that I wanted to purchase them. It seemed that leasing benefited him through a higher commission despite telling him several times to move on to another sale, he continued to pressure us. Fortunately, I turned to EnergySage, which provided multiple quotes and ultimately connected us with Landon Cicero at Solar Optimum. Working with Landon was a completely different experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to educate us, always had answers to our questions, and made the entire process simple and stress-free. My only regret is that I didn't meet him sooner. It has been a year and am happy we made the decision, before this crazy heat wave. read more

We researched so many companies and are so glad we went with Solar Optimum. They made everything so easy, from permits to installation. They dealt with the city and LADWP so we didn't have to. Shout out to the customer service team for being so helpful and reliable. read more

I went with Solar Optimum mainly because of reputation. I also wanted to go with a company that wasn't going to disappear in the next few years. There were cheaper quotes for the system I wanted, but they didn't quite meet the aforementioned requirements (one, although competent, was way too new to feel comfortable with). Another competitor, probably the biggest one in Southern California, came out for a presentation, but their package was strictly a lease and didn't make much sense at all for me. The point of solar panels is to save money, and the projected money I would save was completely offset by the monthly payment. So, I decided to buy my panels outright, along with the Tesla Powerwall 3. It all was pretty pricey, but I will qualify for the federal rebate since the purchase was before the end of 2025. At least that's what I think. I was assured that I would qualify if I had a fully paid invoice before the end of 2025; although there was some other talk about showing proof of operation before the year ended. Solar Optimum couldn't provide me with a definitive answer, but my CPA said a fully paid invoice would work just fine. We'll see. The whole process began around 5 months ago. It started off with a rep coming out for a site inspection in order to put together a plan for me. That went pretty smoothly. Communication was primarily via email and phone. Their main office is on the Glendale/Burbank border. I went a couple of times to drop correspondence off. Once they put the plan together and I signed off on it, the physical installation came a few months later. That took only a day and it looked pretty clean and professional. The next stage was for Edison, my electricity provider, to come out and install the adapter. But that took a couple of months for them to even get here, and when they did, it turned out they couldn't install it at all because the adapter was damaged. The installers had placed it in a bag, but didn't secure it properly. Unfortunately, water from the autumn rains got into the bag and damaged it. So, it took almost another month to replace the adapter and have another Edison tech come out to inspect and install it. The last step is to have the city come out to give a final inspection and to give the permit to operate. As of today, late December, the inspection has yet to be done and the solar panels are just sitting there, inoperable. I understand there was a lot of orders for solar as people were rushing to get their purchases in before the 2025 federal rebates ended. But it's been 5 months and I've already fully paid for a solar panel system that hasn't been even been turned on yet. I don't really blame Solar Optimum since I'm really on Edison's and the city's time, but it is frustrating having to wait so long. Once it is turned on, I'll update this review. read more

We worked with Solar Optimum to install solar panels on our home, and we had a great experience from start to finish. Mike Biscotti was wonderful to work with--he took the time to explain the process and all of our options, was patient throughout the process, and kept us informed every step of the way. He also looked for ways to help us save money, which we really appreciated. We compared several other solar companies, and Solar Optimum offered the best price along with the best options for our needs. Overall, we're very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Solar Optimum to anyone considering solar for their home! read more

Please DO NOT go through this company for solar needs. We've been dealing w potentially dangerous electrical resets in our house for a week, this after calling and being told their response times take a week and still no call back! read more

I paid almost $50,000 in full for our solar project and encountered significant issues from start to finish. To address the issues, I communicated directly with Michael (Sales Administrator), Gerson (Customer Service Manager), Mohaimen (Director of Operations), and other managers/employees. Management acknowledged the issues and promised a resolution/accommodation but has now ghosted me. Buyer beware - once they get your money, they won't follow through. read more

After posting my review, Solar Optimum reached out and I was able to schedule a technician to address our production issues. The tech was able to get our system back up and running yesterday but they are going to replace our Powerwall due to a manufacturer defect, which they said could take at least a month due to their backlog of work. I totally understand that they are slammed right now because everyone is rushing to get solar before the tax incentives expire, but providing good customer service should not be compromised simply because a company has a high volume of business. If you are looking for a good price and don't mind subpar project management and a lack of communication, Solar Optimum might be a good option. read more

Great company! Im so happy with their service. The guys are very hardworking, professional, and pay attention to every detail. They made everything look absolutely perfect. I highly recommend them! read more

I really don't like writing poor reviews, unless I think that this is necessary to guide future decisions for other customers, especially because this company is so highly reviewed. Imagine getting to the finish line after months of waiting just to see that your Solar panels produce zero energy. I had to troubleshoot with Enphase on the phone myself, while Solar Optimum claims they solved the issue remotely. Not sure who to believe, but the communication about what to expect during activation of the solar panels was clearly lacking. Solar Optimum also has one of the worst finance teams, period. Imagine getting an invoice that was dated 5 days ago and due tomorrow, imagine trying to pay the rest of your balance on the project that's overdue but nobody from the finance team will respond to your emails for over a month. I really shouldn't have to remind you about a bill I need to pay, or have to correct the amount to pay from a previous cryptic invoice. I have nothing but good things to say about their design and install teams, who were very speedy and professional. This is where the company shines. My "project manager" sent one email after contract signing and then basically ghosted me the rest of the process. You will be handed off between 5-6 people at different stages all while trying to decide if it's a spam call or not. Some coordination from the start would really improve the customer experience. Please consider these things carefully before entering a contract with them, so you aren't left with a less than Optimal experience ;) read more

I had Solar Optimum install my solar panels about 8 years ago. Recently, I noticed my roof needed a replacement and I found out that Solar Optimum also does roofing. They have a great warranty and their price was very reasonable. Even more, they were ready to go within days and the whole process took a week to remove the panels and do the roof. The roofers were polite and hard working and the end product was great. I had a contact customer text the whole time that answered any questions I had. Really, a painless process. The roof looks fantastic and I'd 100% recommend them. read more

This review is for Solar Optimum and Roofing Optimum. A little bit of background. We had Solar Optimum put on solar panels a few years back and also recently installed an Enphase backup battery also with Solar Optimum, everything was working beautifully. Unfortunately, due to heavy rains this past winter season, we discovered a leak in our roof (in a different section of the roof from where the solar panels were). We made the difficult decision to replace our 30-year-old roof rather than spot repairs. We reached out to Solar Optimum, and they were able to coordinate everything very smoothly, beginning with removal of the solar panels, followed by the re-roofing process. Carlos Leon and his team from Roofing Optimum were excellent in their communication, efficiency and work. Under the concrete s-tile roof, they found significant wood damage throughout and repaired everything. Within 2 weeks they were done with everything and we now have a beautiful new roof. The solar panels were then mounted back on and the whole process was seamless. Thank you Solar Optimum! read more

I'm giving this project 5 star review because I think it is the best company to go with for quality and a competitive cost. If you go with this company, 100% ask for Mason to be your sales rep. Avoid Eddie at all costs as he won't respond to you after you sign your agreement...Because of this, Management actually switched my contact person to Mason, and I am forever grateful for that. Mason is attentive and he was the best with responding to questions and concerns. And when I had concerns about delays in my project, I would email him and it would be fixed right away. The solar industry is one where many people have a lot of questions, uncertainty in effectiveness, and aren't sure if it's right for them. And people in general don't trust solar companies and sales people. It takes time to complete a solar project from contract to actually generating electricity for the home. For me, I decided to go with solar because the 30% tax credit was ending (and now that I actually see results, it's worth it even without the tax credit). However, since I was in a tight window to get everything completed before December 31st, I was very nervous as to if the project would be done on time. if it wasn't for my persistence, and for Mason's help, I don't think it would have been done Before December 31st and I would have been very upset and lost out on the tax credit. So again, GO WITH MASON at Solar Optimum, you won't regret it. If I get another home, I will 100% use this company again, and would 100% ONLY work with Mason. I also added a picture to show how much solar has been generating for me in just over a week in the middle of December (the worst for sunlight). It's right at optimal generation for this time of year and look forward to no more electric bills. read more

Three days ago ,my carbon monoxide alarm at 2 am started beeping constantly. I initially tried to fix it by change the battery and resetting the device, but it didn't work. I called Solar Optimum the company that installed the alarm , the first representative I spoke with Davey ,told me that the alarm was under warranty and promised to send a technician to fix or replace it, However, no one contacted me or showed up on the first day. When I called back on the second day to ask about the delay , they claimed they had "No employee named Davey" and began giving me the runaround. I called again today and spoke to a women, who then transferred me to a representative named Anthony. He was very rude and unprofessional .wherever I asked a question , he would either ignore it, answer with and another question ,or continuously interrupt me. Eventually ,I asked to speak with his manager . He told me the manager was busy but would call me back . Later , the manager name Hrach Labbad ,called . Instead of resolving the issue and honoring the replacement Davey promised under warranty, he rudely argued that they would not replace it, He, too, was dismissive and talked to me very rudely. Based on this highly unprofessional and frustrating experience, I cannot recommend this company to anyone. Consider yourself warned if you are thinking about working with them. read more

I've had solar panels (installed by Solar Optimum) for the past 2 years. What I love about Solar Optimum is that they answer the phone when you call. I'm not exactly sure how their customer service department works (if they even have one) because every time I call, a sales person answers, but NO COMPLAINT.. they are the most attentive, courteous and quick to get things done. Thank you for keeping your customers happy (even after the solar panels have been installed). Please keep it up.... GREAT JOB!!! read more

It makes such a difference to have service that actually cares and is passionate about the work they do. We've wanted solar installed for years and didn't know where to go, but then I personally met some guys from the team who are helping me consider this for my home and workplace. So impressed with the customer service at Solar Optimum. Everyone I speak with there is always friendly and quick to respond. They make the whole process fun and stress-free. From my experience it's definitely a company that takes care of their customers and cares about making a difference in people's lives and the planet! read more

The Solar optimum roofing team was amazing to work with from beginning to end. From the roofing manager to the lead on site, they were responsive and worked through all of the details with us.

We've been with this company for several years and sure, the beginning process was smooth. However like any product, things need maintenance. And the service after is just ridiculous. I am not specifically calling out the technicians. But to get a call back from the only person that can make the scheduling for the technicians is such a frustrating process. I've called everyday, left voicemails, and leaves me feeling like they don't care enough for the customers after installation. I finally got a hold of Angela this morning after calling someone else to complain and I didn't get a sorry nor was she apologetic. Perhaps she's busy. But at least a sorry would have been nice. This isn't the first time and is becoming repetitive. read more

Solar Optimum hit it out of the park for us. Before we started, we had worked with other companies like Sunrun and Project Solar and neither really worked out for us. Solar Optimum is local, got our permits through in a timely manner and got us up and running! We love our Panasonic solar panels and Evervolt batteries. Landon and Davey were in constant contact with us and broke down the pricing and spent the extra time to ensure everything we needed was accounted for. When it came to installing, everyone was super professional and took the upmost care of our home. We are so grateful! read more

I had solar optimum install a Tesla power wall to go with my solar panels. They sent unlicensed and untrained electrical technicians to my home. They did not know what they were doing causing my kitchen electricity to fail. To try to fix the damage they caused, they sent another electrician out who cut a large hole in my wall of my home and damaged numerous electrical switches. . Then they sent someone to repair these damages and he broke the sensors off of my sensors security gate. They also damaged my pool deck when putting the powerwall in place. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! read more

Stellar experience all around! In my initial interest in setting up residential solar, I tried doing research and asking for quotes by myself, but this was a messy, complicated proposition. There is so much information out there! A lot of websites seemed to have a bias, and I would instantly be inundated with sales solicitations as soon as I filled out an online form. I discovered Energysage was recommended to help with this difficult process. They were pretty neutral in their bias, aside from helping consumers make the best decision possible, and the process made it much easier to research and compare installers. Out of all the possibilities for our location, Solar Optimum was consistently highest rated as well as had done a lot of installations. So I went with Solar Optimum, and even with high expectations I was so pleasantly surprised at how excellent the process was throughout. Great transparent and timely communication and outstanding customer service all the way through. They kept me well informed of every step including costs and attentively followed up each time. Ours was not an easy set up, due to our location and roofing. After installation during the turn on phase, there was a small glitch that was not uncommon. They sped through fixing it and now we have a great solar set up. They have been super solid after turn on as well, however I don't really need to bug them much with everything running smoothly for months now. I can't say enough about how great this entire experience has been, especially after feeling quite intimidated with how complicated it was at first. I could not recommend going with Solar Optimum more highly if you are looking for a residential solar installation. read more

Totally recommend Solar Optimum! I was curious about bringing my electric bill down, my A/C usage was costing me $500 bimonthly. After speaking with Energy Consultant Andrew Felix, he was able to plan out a system perfectly matched for my needs. Top quality panels, competitive pricing, honest and straightforward financing. He walked me through the types of rebates and incentives I could qualify for and I feel like I got the best deal. No games just honest, quick and efficient service. read more

This is a review of Solar Optimum's secondary company, Roofing Optimum. I hired Solar Optimum eight years ago for solar panels after the first company I hired could not fit enough panels on my roof to meet my electrical needs. A solar panel expert said to use Sun Power panels, the most powerful at the time. Solar Optimum sold those panels, and they did an excellent job. I pay $0 a month for electricity, which pays for both air conditioning and electric heat. After eight years, however, I discovered my shingles were shot. The sun in Southern California is powerful. This meant I had to removed the solar panels, get a new roof, and then have the panels reinstalled. I learned of Roofing Optimum, which gave the lowest bid of four companies, and I was impressed the whole way. I happened to be on an HOA board once when our complex needed new roofing, and I learned then how complicated roofs are. Many roofers, I learned, take short cuts, and you'd never know. In that case, the HOA hired a roofing consultant to stand on the roof to make sure each step was done to standards. For a single home roof, you're not likely to do that. I didn't. What impressed me were a few things: 1) Roofing Optimum removed the old shingles. A short cut is to put a new layer over the old layer, but the old layer wasn't done right, as they pointed out. They like to shingle right on the plywood. 2) After the shingles were taken off, a small army of carpenters came and sawed out any soft spots and inserted new wood -- at no extra charge. 3) Then two roofers spend two days putting on underlayment and three days applying new GAF high-standard shingles in the color of my choice. I chose the most reflective, sandalwood, which helps keep the heat away. The shingles are 50-year shingles, rated highly fire resistant. My roof was being shingled during the Winter 2025 wildfires. 4) At the first rain, I saw water seemed to be missing the gutters in a few spots, so Roofing Optimum came right out and saw the problem was not in the roofing but cracks in the gutter. They were not responsible for the gutters, but out of kindness, they caulked the cracks. The roofing manager, Carlos Leon, was always easy to reach with any question I had, and it's thanks to him that the roof was done completely on schedule. The roof with it's capped peaks is a thing of beauty. The quality is high. What I learned, too, from Roofing Optimum is don't ignore your roof. "Treat your roof like your yard. It needs care." In particular, seals around pipes should be redone every two years, and the caulking in the corners of the gutter need to be redone every two years. Make sure there are no leaves in your gutter to stop up your drains. All that's left is for the solar panels to go back on and be reconnected to the grid. That should happen soon. read more

Ultimately, we had white glove service with Solar Optimum. Shout out to Joe in sales who helped us make the decision between the three bids we gathered. He's a great front man for the organization. Initially, we had a bit of a glitch with their paperwork & their system and moving through it. We solicited the assistance of Gerson Rodriquez, Administration Manager, in the corporate office and within a matter of minutes he addressed every issue we were having. He is detail oriented and does exactly what he says he's going to do. He brought along Mohi Shahsavari, Director of Operations. Mohi is another power source for the company (no pun intended) We got daily updates to make the corrections, and then he moved us forward quickly to completion. We also had the pleasure of connecting with Jessica Reyes, Customer Service Rep, who walked through the final steps with us. When you take on a solar project, it's an expensive proposition; and there's a lot of moving parts. Honestly, we would never want to tackle it again without having this amazing team by our sides. There will be hiccups, and there will be delays. You are working with a number of organizations including City permitting & your electric company. There's a number of steps along the way. But we were guided skillfully and had an amazing end result. Their connections throughout the industry were stellar, and their guidance helped us understand the next step of each phase of the process. I will always keep this team in mind for anyone who is asking for a reference for the BEST Solar Company around. They have quite a history, and they continue to live up to their reputation. Thanks so much to the entire team we are so happy we found you! read more
