    Solar Optimums' Ivan Pinzon with homeowner and 6 of the 22 total Panasonic 330 solar panels.
    Mike K.

    I screened 10 solar installers, selected 7 for personal interview, resulting in 3 companies which proved honest, receptive and offered competitive pricing. Of the 3, Ivan from Solar Optimum clearly stood out. The multiple solar installer interviews provided conflicting pieces of information, which I pointed out during he discussions. Ivan was the only advisor providing quick, researched responses. Equally important, he worked hard to insure my panel selection was appropriate for our home use and current electric vehicle, with another on order. Additionally, Solar Optimum installed two upgraded voltage plugs into the garage to assist in quick charging of the two EV's. Our 22 panel installation was competed during one long, hot day in August. The installers insisted on getting the job completed and site cleaned insuring the least disruption to home life. Great job! Its has now been 30 days after installation, Ivan continues to follow up providing answers for questions, assisting in the understanding of the SDGE net metering billing process and explaining features of the mobile app supplied by the Enphase invertors for most efficient usage from our solar production. The panels are on target to meet Solar Optimums estimated payback period, however, since we will be fueling our EV's through the solar production the theoretical payback period figures to cut their estimates in half through our gas savings. Because of the quality service, best equipment and most competitive pricing I have strongly recommended Ivan to friends and family over the last 30 days and will continue to do so.

    Can't say enough about Ivan and Solar Optimium! They were accessible, efficient and thorough! Ivan was clear about expectations and was there through out the whole way. He even takes my calls even after we've been installed for a couple of months now. I'm very happy!

    By the end of 2019, every home owner in CA should have solar, including low users! I am confident in saying this because I am a low electricity user and I am saving between $30-$50 per month, including my loan payment! Call Ivan now! The 30% Federal tax ends this year so call Ivan today! More thoughts: I finally realized that it was time to get solar so I did a lot of research and analyzed 14 of the biggest and best rated companies and their proposals. I'm in the construction industry so all aspects were important to me: price, quality, products, warranty, service and the company's longevity. I decided to go with Solar Optimum for the following reasons: 1) They had the best or very close to the lowest price of all proposals and I had them all quote the same system/products, 2) The quality of the company, salesman, products and installation are fantastic, no complaints at all, 3) I wanted the best panels and inverters and they promote them: Panasonic panels, Enphase microinverters (there are a couple other panels that are just as good/slightly better but more expensive), 4) They have the best warranty available covering every aspect - 25 years on everything! Only two other companies offered this but were much more expensive, 5) Service was top notch from sales, to scheduling, to corporate support, through installation and completion, 6) Company has been in business for a much longer time than most and do a ton of commercial solar which comforts me that they will be around during the next residential downturn or recession. No hesitation giving 5 stars and no complaints.

    We did a lot of research on solar companies and decided on Solar Optimum because of their panels, warranties, 5 star ratings, and team knowl

The crew arrived on time every day, kept the worksite clean (they did a full cleanup at the end of each day), and treated my property with respect throughout the project. The quality of the installation itself was top-notch--exactly what you want when you're investing in something as critical as your roof. A special callout to Dylon, the project manager. His communication was exceptional--clear, proactive, and consistent. He stayed directly involved throughout the job, which made a big difference in ensuring everything went smoothly. It's rare to see that level of hands-on management. They also handled the solar panel dismount and reinstall flawlessly, which is not a trivial task. Even though I'm now upgrading my system due to the NEM 3.0 transition, their work made that process seamless. Post-installation support has been just as impressive. They've continued to be responsive and helpful, especially coordinating around my new solar project--something many companies tend to disappear on after the job is done. Pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality and service provided. And as a bonus--no nonsense on the job site. Unlike some other crews I've seen in the neighborhood, these guys were professional the entire time. Bottom line: excellent workmanship, strong communication, fair pricing, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommended.

    Warning !! This review may be lengthly however I promise You it will be worth your time to read if…read moreyou are in need of roofing replacement! So I developed a roof leak at our home and the existing roof was at least 25 years old so it was now time for roof replacement! I did my research and contacted the owner Troy whom was very thorough and informative during our conversation and he answered all of my concerns. The next step was to have my roof inspected, address any concerns and formulate an estimated cost for recommended repair. The estimator Dylon spent nearly 45 minutes performing a complete and thorough inspection. I have solar panels and gas lines mounted on our roof which complicated the roof replacement process. Good news is San Diego County Roofing (SDCR) partners with a great solar company and therefore de-activating the solar system, solar panel(s) removal, replacement and re-activation of the solar system is all taken care of through SDCR. Also SDCR warranties all work provided by their partnering solar company. I chose SDCR to replace my roof and what a great decision it was. I was updated and kept informed through each and every step of of the roof replacement process. I had some wood issues (rotting, worn out etc...) and the cost for the wood replacement was very reasonable. Tarps were laid out to cover our pool and artificial turf and after each day the residence was thoroughly cleaned of debris. Edgar the supervisor was always available whenever I had any questions or concerns. Also Dylon was always "Keeping tabs" with the progress and kept me informed of any issues and offered options when applicable. I felt very comfortable knowing that Dylon was always "on top" of things! Upon completion of the job, Juan invited me to view the new roof replacement and informed me of all that had been done and answered all of my questions and concerns. He even explained that my flat roof section of the garage had 2 sheets of "roofing" (know as "torch down") installed as compared to 1 sheet of roofing which most roofing companies provide, something I wouldn't have known. Everything was great and I was extremely satisfied EXCEPT one big problem! Apparently during the process of replacing my roof, a section of my newly installed artificial turf in the front of my house became damaged. I contacted Troy to discuss this big concern not knowing what to expect. After our discussion he instructed me to have the turf replaced and that I would be reimbursed for any and all cost. I had the artificial turf replaced at a cost of $2,200 and true to his word troy had a company check in the amount of $2,200 sent to my house within (1) week. So rest assured SDCR will give you phenomenal service. The company is professional, honest and transparent every step of the way from start to completion. This company has proved should something go wrong, they will make it "right". I highly recommend SDCR and I'm so glad I made the right choice! You should make the right choice too!

The 50/15 material and labor warranty is an added bonus, giving me peace of mind even if prices rise in the future. I felt the price was fair, and any questions I had were answered promptly and thoroughly by Liza. Her team was professional and left the property clean and tidy.

They really are the best at what they do -- and they do soooo much! There should be absolutely no doubt in your decision to tackle any project with them, big or small. Just go ahead and book them now and save yourself the time and energy of searching. They truly understand how important your home is to you, inside and out, so they won't disappoint. Maybe most importantly, if any random issue does arise (which it always does with a big project), they will be on top of it immediately! We worked with CRS on both a full roof replacement and a MAJOR bathroom remodel. We were lucky enough to be referred to Liza by a trusted local contractor friend for our roof repair. We got multiple quotes from roofing companies, as it was a big expense for us, but no one understood or communicated better than Liza. Not only did she offer a better product and solution, she also came in more affordable than all the other bids! Her team did such an amazing job on our roof that we reached out to Liza again a few years later for our full bathroom remodel. Oh man -- there's really no way to put into words how much of a project this bathroom was to take on. We ripped the old bathroom down to the studs, expanded its footprint, and fully rebuilt it into a glorious, resort spa-style sanctuary. Major vibe and an inconceivable space upgrade! Liza and her lead builder worked side by side with me daily throughout the entire process. From planning to purchasing, demo to details, problems to solutions -- they nailed it. We inevitably encountered some "fun" issues like improper support beams and suspect wiring, but they always pivoted and solved each problem quickly and thoroughly. The team's positive attitude and good spirits were also a notable and welcome part of the experience. This isn't my first major project, and let's face it -- you don't often get to work with true pros who are both really good at what they do and genuinely good, happy people. They are! It's been a few months since we finished the project, so I feel bad that I didn't get this review up sooner. We just couldn't seem to put everything they accomplished for us and our home into a concise synopsis. We wanted to gush about every little thing, but in the end, all you really need to know is that we were 100% satisfied, and you should feel 100% confident teaming up with CRS to successfully bring your next project and vision to life. Seriously -- feel free to message me with any specific questions about our experience with the roof and/or the bathroom remodel!
