Will update when I hear back. Would not recommend SolarMax at this point until they improve their customer service. Look into other companies and their service reviews since you will most likely have to contact them multiple times with questions about the system/billing. They were very prompt and quick with reaching out and getting back to us when they were trying to sell us solar. However, now that we have been customers for years and our sales rep left, it takes multiple calls to even get through to customer service and then multiple follow up calls after since they have to email other departments to get an answer and do not call back. It seems like they are short staffed and for a big company like this should invest in more staff for customer service. That way they can provide the same experience we received in the beginning. It's been almost a month after I initially contacted them and my question still has not been answered. Seems like there is only one customer service rep and she definitely needs help.

My family and I had solar panels installed by SolarMax several years ago. Recently, we noticed…read morewater damage in multiple areas of our home. After inspecting the roof, I discovered a very concerning issue. When SolarMax installed the solar panels, they hired a roofing company to modify the roof beforehand. That roofing work was never properly completed, leaving a large section of the roof without shingles and exposing bare wood. As a result, there are now multiple areas of our home showing signs of water intrusion and possible mold. I immediately contacted SolarMax and informed them that this was an urgent matter requiring prompt attention. More than 24 hours have passed, and I have not received a response. I was told they would reach out to the roofing company they used, but there has been no follow-up. What I do not understand is how SolarMax could proceed with installing the solar panels, mark the job as completed, and leave our home with such a significant roofing defect. I am extremely concerned about the potential extent of the damage to our home, as well as the possible health implications for my family. I have never had allergies in the past, yet I began experiencing them shortly after the panels were installed, which raises serious concerns about mold exposure. I am hopeful that SolarMax will take responsibility for this issue and fully address both the roofing defect and any resulting damage to our home. However, I am very disappointed by the lack of communication and urgency shown so far.

The work Paul did was amazing. He was very professional and took his time. I will be sharing…read morepictures of what it looks like, but it looks outstanding. I did not expect him to install my charger on the wall, but he did. I asked about 20 different electricians to install my EV charger and they were all charging me 1500+. Paul, he only charged me $650. I think that is very reasonable, especially in this economy and the hard times people are facing. Also, he was nice enough that, when he showed me the first picture, there was miscommunication and the wrong plug was installed. My charger needed to be hard wired and a plug was installed instead. He only charged me a couple bucks more to change it out and I have no complaints. Thank you for your hard work and I hope your business continues to grow.

He took the time to thoroughly explain how the battery works, its benefits, and how it could help improve the efficiency of my solar setup. One thing I appreciated most was how clearly he explained why my electricity bill has continued to increase each year, even though I already have solar panels. He made the information easy to understand and answered all of my questions without any pressure. Semple Solaris also offered a low-interest payment plan, which made the investment much more manageable. I would definitely recommend scheduling a consultation with Oscar. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely takes the time to educate his customers so they can make informed decisions.

I want to clarify something for anyone reading these reviews…read more The responses you see from this company give the impression that they're actively working to resolve customer issues. That has not been my experience. What I've seen is a pattern--public replies that look helpful, requests for your information, and then little to no meaningful resolution. It feels more like they're covering themselves on Yelp than actually fixing the problem. I also want to respond directly to the statement that "this does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide." There's a difference between aiming to provide a level of service and actually delivering it. From my experience, that gap is exactly where the problem is. The bigger issue is their policies. They're structured in a way that protects the company, not the customer. So when something goes wrong, you're left paying out of pocket to fix their equipment while still dealing with high electric bills. That defeats the whole purpose of going solar. To be clear, this is not about the front-line staff. The people I've spoken with have been respectful and professional, and I understand they're working within the limits they're given. But as a customer, you shouldn't have to navigate policies that make it harder to get a fair resolution. At the end of the day, a response is not the same as a solution.

Before I went solar I did some research and was very skeptical of solar companies and installers as…read morethey have the reputation of fleecing and ripping off customers with their long term leases and overcharging for labor. I luckily found Kevin on Craigslist as I was going to purchase the equipment and have him install it. However obtaining a permit is very difficult so I just had Kevin give me quote for total system including equipment, installation, labor, design, and permitting. Price was similar to me purchasing equipment and having him install. So I just had his team do everything. I also was getting a new roof and needed a solar contractor to work with the roofing contractor. Kevin (C46 licensed) and his team worked cooperatively with the roofer and they coordinated installation together. I really wanted each solar mount penetration flashed and sealed by roofer to avoid voiding warranty. He also installed top notch equipment including Enphase microinverters and LG panels. I would recommend obtaining a quote from Kevin if you are planning on going solar. The system he installed: 11KW 34 US made LG 320 watt modules 34 IQ7+ microinverters 1 Enphase combiner envoy

They respond to my questions with 'Larry said he will check on it today.' and 'I just text him that you are asking for an update' but they never follow through. How long does it take to get an update? It's been 1 month since their last message and there's been nothing since. Clearly this company needs to get serious about their customer service. I'm not going to continue chasing after these guys for service. Earlier this year they received several positive reviews, then there's a drop off. Someone recently left a similar review about them earlier this month, so perhaps this company is heading down a bad path. Often times when researching companies, I prefer to start with the negative reviews then move onto the positive ones. The negative reviews at times gives more useful information than a fluffy, positive review would. You can choose to roll the dice with these guys or go with a company that's responsive and true to their words. I've gone with another company.

I am writing to formally file a complaint against UniverCity Solar LLC, located at 242 East Airport…read moreDrive, San Bernardino, CA 92408, regarding unresolved roof damage, ongoing water intrusion, broken promises, and what I believe to be negligence and misrepresentation that dates back to 2022. UniverCity Solar has visited my home on two separate occasions over the past several years to address a roof leak that developed after the installation of their solar system. During those visits, their technicians identified cracked roof tiles as the cause of the leak, repaired those tiles, and sealed the affected areas. Despite these repairs, the roof leak continued. In January 2023, I communicated directly with Aaron, a representative of UniverCity Solar, who acknowledged the damage and promised that the company would repair the interior damage caused by the leak, including repainting the roof area stained by water intrusion. Aaron repeatedly delayed this work, citing a lack of available personnel, but reassured me multiple times that the repairs would be completed. At one point, he even stated that he intended to hire a professional painter to perform the work. Trusting these assurances, I waited in good faith for over a year, during which time no repairs were made. In late 2026, heavy rains resumed and caused additional damage, including deterioration to the drywall and window sill in my dining room--the same room originally affected by the roof leak. On December 3, 2026, UniverCity Solar sent Adam to inspect the roof. At that time, they claimed to have discovered damage to a board outside the solar panel areaand abruptly stated that they were no longer responsible for any repairs. This sudden reversal is unacceptable. Regardless of any newly identified issues, UniverCity Solar previously diagnosed the leak twice as being caused by cracked roof tiles, which they stated were responsible. I relied on their expertise and professional assessment. If their current claim is that the cracked tiles were not the cause, then the company is still responsible for misdiagnosing the issue on multiple occasions, which directly resulted in delayed corrective action and increased damage. Due to the age of the damage and the prolonged delays caused by UniverCity Solar, I am now unable to file a homeowners insurance claim, as the issue is no longer considered new damage. Their failure to correctly diagnose and permanently resolve the problem has directly hindered my ability to seek insurance coverage, resulting in financial harm. Additionally, I am deeply disappointed to learn that Tim, the salesperson who sold me UniverCity Solar's services, misrepresented the company's roofing credentials. I was told that UniverCity Solar carried a full roofing license, only to be informed later by Aaron that they carry only a limited roofing license. This discrepancy further undermines my trust in the company. I am especially disheartened by this treatment given that I have provided over three referrals to UniverCity Solar, all of whom became paying customers. This level of neglect and refusal to honor written and texted commitments--copies of which I possess--is unacceptable and does not reflect the service that was promised to me. At this point, I am unsatisfied and disappointed with UniverCity Solar's conduct and believe their actions constitute negligence and potential malpractice. I am requesting that UniverCity Solar be held accountable for: * Honoring their written and verbal commitments * Repairing the interior and exterior damage caused by the roof leak * Addressing the ongoing water intrusion issue in full I processed additional complaints to the Federal Trade Commission report number 195345513 and the Better Business Bureau under the Pacific Southwest, Central & Inland California division.
