After months and months of research and paying my due diligence of learning about solar I finally found the right solar company that gave me the best price and the best panels for my home. We met with 5 companies and sol reliable was the most honest and the most transparent with information. Other companies just threw out a few facts and numbers but thanks to Allen Ladd the direct sales manager he made the process very clear and easy. We decided to lease our panels and it cost nothing to do so. I recommend them for all my friends and family. read more

We interviewed 3 companies including Sol Reliable before we made our decision. We considered pricing, materials, licenses and great workmanship. And Sol Reliable match all our requirements. Tony was my initial contact. I tought he would be called a salesman but he actually was our project manager and walked us through the whole process. He came to the house with a sistem completely designed for our home. All questions were answered to the details, with no pressure to purchase. From the time we said yes to the last day, he was there. This company was the only one that actually went on the roof and make sure that is possible to complete what it was promised. They also checked our shading, panel box, and did a complete engineering analyses. He presented to us all the options: leasing, financing, purchase and rebates involved in our project. The installers were on time, exceptional, organized and professional. It tooked them 5 weeks of the whole process (paperwork, plans, permits etc) and only 4 days to install. They went an extra mile and painted our conduit so it will match the color of our home. How awesome! :) We did a good research and made a great decision! We are very happy customers and highly recommend this company to everyone! read more

Michael Soroka was extremely knowledgeable about their products and worked with me on the best solution for my needs. He reviewed the pros and cons and financial for each solution. He was very friendly and pofessional in is manner. read more

SolReliable's name says it all. Not only did Allen thoroughly walk us through the process of solar and its benefits, his company also remodeled our bathrooms. Customer service and follow up are a big deal to me. This company made sure to provide that. I highly recommend Allen Ladd at SolReliable. He will take the extra step to give you his cell phone number so you can even contact him after hours incase you have any concerns. read more

After I noticed that my electrical bill doubled in the last year. I knew it was time to go solar. After doing research on several different websites including Yelp I realized that Sol Reliable was the company with the right price and product for me. Considering I'm ridiculously busy, dealing with meetings with sales guys didn't sound too appealing... fortunately I was connected to Allen Ladd who is the Direct Sales manager... he was able to get me the best panels called Sunpower for the best price. I highly recommend Sol Reliable! read more

This guys are the real thing. Great equipment. This all thanks to the owner Nir . If Nir gives you his word you can be sure it will be done in the best way . Highly recommend. read more

Wow! Cannot be happier we decided to switch to solar! My bills are a fraction of what they were prior! My solar rep Allen was amazing. Service was flawless from start to finish. Timely installation! Would highly recommend to all! read more

you have to be a stupid fool to deal with these people....i was. they lied about availability of a battery and sold me on an l.g which didn't work for a year because they claimed there was no programme to communicate with the solaredge inverter, then our roof leaked and they came out and put a large tarp over it which blocked the solar panels and still didn't fix the leak then the hvac system they installed continually leaked and their sub contractor finally said that he wouldn't work for them anymore so i had to call another company for the repair (expensive) then, the electric panel they installed kept throwing the breaker and they came out and up the wattage on the breaker and it still popped. they came out a few months ago and couldn't repair the inverter which won't back feed the meter... a total freeking nightmare... DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE unless you are as stupid as i was read more

Great service and they try to make the process as easy as possible.

We recently hired Sol Reliable to install a new 3.2 KW solar panel system on our 80 year old house. In the process, they had to re-roof the house and garage and replace some of the decayed wood. We were happy that our existing 100 amp electrical panel was sufficient and didn't need to be replaced as we had earlier thought. The roofer, Martin, was very pleasant and explained what they were going to do and what we could expect. Since they had to tear off the entire existing roof, we thought it was going to be very messy, however, the worksite was kept clean and safe at all times. There were a few mishaps during the work, however, Martin made sure that everything was corrected before he turned the job over to the solar panel installation team. The solar panel installers were very professional and courteous. They informed us of everything that they were doing and how we could expect the job to proceed. When they were finished everything was inspected, approved and finaled by the LA County inspector. I'm usually accused of being pretty skeptical, but this time I'm glad to say that we actually made a good choice in contractors. During the entire process from start to finish, my wife and I felt confident that they would do exactly as specified on the contract. And they have. I gave them 4 Stars because I've never met anyone that's perfect. read more

I contacted a few companies to have estimates made to my home. However, none of them compared to the knowledge, inspection, and stellar customer service I received from Sol Reliable. Other companies were far out of my budget and lacked competence. Patrick answered all my questions and concerns and ultimately his presentation helped me decide to choose this company. My family and I look forward to working together. read more

Thanks Allen!! He recently hooked it up with a new solar system. If you are looking for Solar and company and want to deal with a Professional, friendly and reasonable company, I highly recommend, speaking to him! Looking forward to paying almost nothing on my future DWP bills :) Over time it should pay for itself multiple times over! read more

Just had a solar system installed by Sol Reliable on my parents house in Granada Hills recently and I have nothing but positive feedback. They were able to work with our clay tile roof and were even able to move one of our vents for a better design layout. We interviewed several solar companies that said they could not do the install because of the material of our roof so we feel lucky to have found them. The project manager Patrick even called my parents today just to wish my Mom a Happy Mothers Day! Great overall experience, you won't be disappointed! read more

I purchased my house in December last year and i first met shawn while trying to get my windows redone. He was very professional,knocked the job out quickly and was helpful with other projects along the way. Since then i have add central air installed and a complete bathroom remodel taking place. He communicates well and gets the job done correctly read more

First off- I have painstakingly texted, emailed, met with, and just all around researched seven solar companies.... and let me tell you: Sol Reliable is the best that you will find. They have THE BEST PANELS and THE BEST YELP REVIEWS. Allen was amazing to deal with- he was patient while I shopped around. He answered all my questions, and really genuinely took care of my needs. These guys are the real deal. read more

Remodeling houses is never an easy task. So when I heard from one of my friends about Sol reliable who packaged Solar energy and home remodeling in one less expensive cost I had to hear for myself. The quality of product, the communication, and the honesty of my project manager Allen Ladd was close to perfect. If there was a hiccup (always is with construction) it was taken care of immediately. I was able to save money by putting the loan on my property tax and was cash flow positive day one. I have a lot of write offs with my business so it was perfect! I now have my dream kitchen, and bathroom... And best of all I am saving money on my electric bill. I highly recommend going solar with Sol Reliable. Don't forget to ask for Allen! read more

My experience with Sol R was not 5-star, and I am a very forgiving customer. So being patient and understanding of their screw-ups, sloppiness, bad wiring, unprofessional workers who seem transient and sometimes crude, and lack of consistent managerial supervision, I'm afraid I may have allowed Sol R to take advantage of me. They delayed beginning any actual installation by over a year, citing various excuses but mainly blaming City of Glendale, though I cannot fault the City for Sol R not having inventory ready when they had scheduled installation months ahead of time. They tried to sell me lower wattage, less durable panels that would never have produced sufficient output, trying instead to convince me that my electrical needs were lower than actual numbers indicated. Yet the price they were quoting was $40,000 before government 30% subsidy. When I balked and insisted on better quality panels with much higher output and efficiency, they further jacked up the price and refused to provide detailed cost breakdowns. When I suggested that i might have to back out of the deal, they quickly sent me a billing invoice costing me a sky-high close-to-five-figure labor amount for "preliminary reports and evaluation so far" so that I'd basically be stuck doing business with this outfit. I succumbed to their high pressure tactics and agreed to most of their outrageous terms, including forking over my Glendale City Rebate. This was my own fault. Planning stages: Their nice but poorly experienced student-quality engineers mis-designed the patio cover/solar-support system, causing cost overruns later when the city engineers made them upscale it for proper strength and rigidity. Thankfully Sol R took care of the permitting hassles and I'm sure I paid plenty in those inflated labor rates, to cover this "benefit". Thinking back, it was worth it to pay higher labor NOT to stand in line at Glendale City Services for hours on end.... Many permit problems were created by the City of Glendale's incompetence; they asked for weird, expensive, and non-critical modifications to existing power poles that they themselves had already signed off on years ago. Thank You to Sol Reliable for fixing these. Installation phase: Sol R did admit they hadn't ever done a solar-on-top-of-patio type installation before, so their guys were unprepared to do "neat, exposed, but organized" wiring, such as seen in some college parking lots. These guys are basically rooftop solar, where tangled cabling is hidden by solar panels laid on top of a rooftop. Their installers could have chosen more logical placement of panel string order (which is critical for efficient earliest possible morning firing up of the Sunny Boy inverter). The project manager fixed this himself. Quality of Workmanship: Wires were strung across support tracks at varying degrees of angular tension against posts and connector boxes I had to complain to Lee several times about sloppy wiring, and crews had to re-do the wiring three times to get it almost right. They never did finish cleaning up their dangling wire ties, or cutting off the ends of sagging support tracks (so that they'd be lined up evenly). At the end of each work day, over a period of OVER a year of construction amid delays, my puppy grew to be an adult dog, and she helped out by picking up the workers' various trash and discarded connector parts that the workers would regularly toss into my landscaping. Such is the arrogance of the Local Workforce.... Certificate of Near-Completion: Their office manager made their rep Lee demand that I sign the completion certificate even though the project wasn't really finished, saying that they'd be right out to finish up those few details,"so please sign here, it's just a formality, you can trust us". Well it's been over an ADDITIONAL year more now and no one from Sol R ever returned to do those little things. Shame on me for not screaming at them on the phone. Discussions to build this system began in 2012. It was turned on: December 15 of 2015. Overall I think Sol Reliable has good intentions but it is hampered by poor local workforce choices in a tough, competitive market, and they could re-think some internal management. read more

My husband and I decided to go solar because of rising energy costs and by chance a door to door representative from Sol Reliable showed up at our home shortly after. We were impressed with his knowledge of the company and by the products the company had to offer so we decided to consider them as an option. Shawn Domianus, a project manager for Sol Reliable came out and discussed all of our options with us and we came up with a plan that suited our needs. The financing process went smooth and the projected started with no delay. The installation went quick and we were up and running within a few weeks. Shawn provided great customer service and was there for us the whole way through. Mike, one of the installers, also provided great service by keeping us informed on the different stages and let us know what to expect as the project progressed. Thank you Sol Reliable. read more

Since the first time we met Michael of Sol Reliable, he has exercised amazing customer service and is very professional. We were going to do business with another company for our roof and solar needs , but they lagged and actually gave poor customer service, We were so fortunate to meet with a company rep from Sol Reliable. Shortly after, we met Michael who took care of us and was patient in answering all of our questions and concerns. We also had issues with our a/c ducts and he promptly took care of our needs. He is now embarking on other projects for us. What we appreciate about him is that he is very hands on with work being done, and will go the extra mile for you if need be. He will make sure the job is to your satisfaction. read more

I was sick of having a high electric bill and Water bill so I decided it was time for me to go solar and get turf for my home. After shopping around for months I finally came across Sol reliable. Thank you to my solar guy allen for saving me a bunch of money on both the solar and turf. My bill is significantly smaller and now I referred my friend who was in the same boat and got a $500 referral fee. read more

Not impressed. SolReliable showed up door-to-door one day and I spoke with their rep who was a nice guy. I mentioned I was looking to replace my attic insulation and set up a follow up appointment with one of their project managers. They showed up on time for the appointment but it was clear rather quickly that he was just trying to upsell me on a slew of unnecessary work including solar hot water and tried to pitch me on all the government programs which just add a special assessment to my taxes which are already high. Needless to say I was not interested. I made it abundantly clear I was ONLY looking for an estimate on removing and replacing insulation in my attic and I could tell Mike (the project manager) was unhappy about it. Finally he asked me what the square footage of the house was and said he'd get back to me with a quote that evening or the next day, without ever even asking to see the attic space. That was a month ago. I never received a quote, or a follow-up in any manner. I'd say be aware of falling for their sales tactics and committing to projects you're not ready for financially. They will try to upsell you on all the bells and whistles without listening to what you actually want as the homeowner. read more

I've Had SolReliable install panels on my parents house. I always thought solar panels are expensive , but after meeting with Danny , he switched us to Solar energy with $0 down, my electric bill is gone, these savings pays for my panels. These guys are super professionals , did a great job on my Dad's Tile roof. I recommend them to my friends. read more

We had some bumps in the road with Sol Reliable after finding out our Solar System had not been connected correctly and was not producing for several months, but Nir with Sol Reliable worked with us fairly to come up with a refund we were both happy with. Thanks to Milca and all their staff for helping us resolve the problems, and thank you for installing the Enphase Enlighten Monitoring System that is easy to monitor and track of our production. We appreciate your company using great products and giving exceptional service too! read more

Sol Reliable is the company to go to if you are considering going solar!! They were right there with us through the entire project. Anytime I needed anything at all or had any questions Alina Kuzmina was the woman to go to. She would always react the same day as my many requests. I love this company!! The best thing we ever did was go Solar!! read more

I never thought I could get so excited about solar panels, but I'll admit it. I am. :) After considering different residential solar companies, I decided to go with SolReliable. I shopped around and honestly, SolReliable had the best price. Plus, the staff was super friendly and helpful and was happy to answer any question I had (no matter how stupid they were, of which I am sure there were many). We loved working with Idan in particular (if you are thinking about working with SolReliable, I definitely recommend him - he's great). Installation was quick, easy and professional and in the end, I love that we are saving on our energy bill and doing a small part to help the environment. Wins all around. Yay! read more

My experience with the company's representative, Lee, was very good on many levels. He was informative, clear in his descriptions of products and answered all my questions, no matter how small. He offered problem-solving suggestions about how solar panels might help me and my family. Finally, his manner was professional and even-tempered and he always spoke to me as a person, not as a potential sale . read more

Thank you Sol Reliable and my project manager Patrick for an outstanding job. Initially I was looking to upgrade my windows and get a new roof before El Niño hits. He introduced a program called California First and showed me how to incorporate solar and save money year one! I still feel it's almost too good to be true! I looked at a few other companies and Sol Reliable was a little higher in pricing than 2 of my bids but the quality of work was worth every penny. I highly recommend considering them for your next home improvement! read more

If you want solar for your home, this is the company you should use. I own my panels and get all the benefits myself. David and Tal explained everything that we asked and were very patient with us. We checked with a lot of different companies and had a lot of questions! Purchasing, delivery, and installation went perfect! We chose to do 80% of our bill and we have definitely have not been disappointed! read more

With this rainy season that past, I knew it was time to get a new roof. Roofs are expensive so I asked around if anyone knew of a good roofer. My friend me to reach out to allen from sol reliable and I'm so happy I did. Allen was able to get me a great deal for my roof and get me solar on top of it so I would save on both ends. I now have a life time warranty on a cool roof, put that together with my solar and my electric bill is zero. My ROI on both will be less than 8 years! If you need a new roof I highly recommend Sol reliable. read more

Patrick came out and gave us a thorough evaluation of what we needed and what fit into our budget. We can't wait to get our project started. Fantastic customer service and you can tell we are dealing with honest people. Update soon to come! read more

Thanks Jacob and SolReliable for helping me cut these high bills! Can wait to rep the savings!

So I finally decided to get solar on my house. I was Dreading the process because I have heard some horrific stories about solar companies. I called 3 companies to come out and explain how solar works. During the process one company showed up by the name of solar city; they seamed straight forward but they don't do or offer anything more than leasing solar panels which doesn't make sense to do because if I'm going to pay for it I want to own it. The second solar company I called didn't even show up and cancelled at the last minute. and then there was Sol reliable. The minute they walked in I knew this was my company. The two project reps Tal and Lee showed up dressed in professional attire they had business cards and even a company folder with previous customers that I can contact. They showed me everything there is to know about solar they inspected my electrical panel and made sure that my roof was in good condition so I didn't have any surprises. The whole process took 1 month from start to finish they both were on top of it and I was always being updated. I will definitely be working with them again. Thanks Tal and Lee great job and love the team work. :) read more

Danny was very friendly and accommodative. The crew went out of their way to help with different small things not required by the contract, and finished their job in a timely and friendly manner. I was given pictures of the attic which I cannot reach myself. read more

As a first time home buyer, I had no idea that my electric bill would be so big. I mean I know I live in vegas... and I have a pool... but this was ridiculous. I've been in my house for a year, and in that time, my bill went up 10%.... 10% in a year??? WOW! Something had to be done because I was burning my money spending it on electricity I asked a few of my friends, and they Recommended I reach out to Allen Ladd. After reaching out to Allen, he explained that his company was based out of LA, but it wouldn't be an issue to set me up with Solar. He wasn't lying. We did a full consultation over the phone. I didn't even have to have anyone come to my house and try to sell me. He had a lot of options for financing but my cousin is a banker and he assisted me in getting a low interest rate. I'm not going to say how much my system costs, but lets just say I cut my bill in half... and I own the system! I can now blast my air conditioner without worrying about how expensive my bill is going to be. I recommend Sol Reliable over all those other shady companies. read more

I can't express how pleased I am with Sol Reliable inc. I can only recommend this company to all my friends. Ever since I got the solar panels installed my bill got cut in less than half of what I used to pay on my electric bill. A true blessing and what an easy going process and educating staff! A go go all the way! Thank you Allen Ladd! read more

Summary: Solar Panels, Solar Converter, Solar Hot Water Heater, Cool Roof, Main Panel Upgrade, HVAC & A/C Upgrade, Duct Work, Nest Thermostat, Pool Pump, Insulation, Dry Wall Patch, Texture to Match, and Interior Paint - Quick Response Time, Knowledgeable on Product, Cost Savings and Incentives, Quality Craftsmanship, Completed Ahead of Schedule, Completed What Was Promised When it Was Promised. The Long Story: My wife and I recently bought our first home, and had our first child in mid-February. During the heavy rains in late December and January it became apart we had two fairly severe roof leaks. Like so many of our neighbors, my wife called several roofers to come out for quotes on the patch, and was told by all that only if we contracted for the work would anyone be sent and the earliest they could start was April ... all except SolReliable. Jacob T., our project manager, came out within 24hrs to review the damage and present us with options. While we only needed a roof patch, which SolReliable was happy to quote and offer, he explained that SolReliable offers much more and that if we packaged multiple efficiency upgrades it would be more advantageous in terms of rebates and incentives. While we weren't thrilled with the idea of financing (via a PACE Loan) after just getting into our home and anticipating the costs that come from having our first child and losing one income in a dual income household, Jacob T, took the time to compare our options, from a range of different products to come up with month to month comparison in estimated savings and monthly finance payment vs a current monthly utility spend, and this gave us the insight to see at what point we would be netting a positive (inside 2years) and how we could expedite that. However, we did explain that our next concern was how quickly the work would be completed. We were expecting a baby mid-Feb and in our experience most contractors are booked or spread too thin to make that time line happen. SolReliable assured us it would be completed, and to be honest we had no other options for the roof repair. Soon after the contract was signed was when our roof was hit the hardest, water leaking in the house and the newly completed nursery. After a call to our insurance company, a Restoration Team came to mitigate. Our concern was that it would get worse and we felt we couldn't wait even a day longer to patch the roof. SolReliable came out (thanks Ish) in the rain to tarp our roof (I'm pretty sure that was a liability issue and real risk for him, but I'm really glad he did it). In fact, they did it twice when the wind blew the tarp out of place. SolReliable moved mountains to get our roof patched the first day the rain stopped. Once the Restoration team was done, SolReliable worked hard to complete all the interior and most the exterior parts of the job before our son arrived. Literally the inside was completed on a Wednesday and our son arrived on a Sunday. Also, due to the damage we incurred from the rain, we filed an insurance claim and a home warranty claim, and due to the detail SolReliable provided we got a full recoup of the costs of repair on the insurance claim (less deductible), and as much as was possible from the warranty (warranties suck). Bottom line, SolReliable came through on all that was promised and went beyond that. The work was top-notch, the plaster paint team had to match a heavy texture on our ceiling, and due to the texture sizing needed replicate by hand was used for a seamless match, true artistry. Ish was always an wealth of information for the questions we had. Our solar has been on now about 3 months. Electric went from $250/month to $10, and our gas from $180/moth to $120, and that was true to the projected savings estimated by Jacob T. The SolReliable team is still actively working to process all our energy savings credits and rebates so I don't have a full total, but the fact that they are still working hard to save us money after they've been paid speaks volumes. Final word - recommended, but don't take my word for it read the reviews on multiple sites, we did the research and it's a big reason we said yes. Thanks Jacob T., Nir, Ish, Alina, and the SolReliable TEAM!! read more

First off I want to send a BIG Thank You to Michael. Initially I was just looking into quotes for a new roof. Michael came the next day after the appointment was made, after a few minutes I already had a good feeling I was going to pursue the project with the roof. BUT...of course he just had mention other services SOL Reliable offers. Before this review gets long, Ill cut straight to the point and extremely happy that we now have an energy efficient home which consists of solar panels, tankless water heater, new AC system, a new roof and a upgraded 200 amp electrical panel. ALL I wanted was a new roof... Michael was so informative, when it came to crunching numbers he always answered no matter how many times I asked. And not to mention, Michael hung out at our house for at least 5-7 hours, and within that time frame, he never pushed us. Eventually I already had planned to upgrade all the items mentioned since it definitely needed it sooner than later. Throughout the duration of the project, every single trade, rather it was the plumbers, electricians, HVAC and roofers, they were all professional. Given...this entire project does not happen over night and not to mention we were hit with a lot of rain this past winter season. So start times were hit it or miss, but SOL was already all over it and scheduled accordingly keeping us informed. MIchael also kept close contact informing me about status rather it be via text or phone call. I also need to mention, during construction, I would overlook the progress and work. As I am also in the construction industry, I'm not blind to what needs to be done or how. So by nature, I knit picked at it, but of course SOL made it right. Sorry guys... So bottom line, if I don't feel like tackling my own projects for my home, I don't need quotes nor do I need to look any further for a contractor. I continue to talk and refer as much as I can to SOL Reliable. read more

Patrick and his team were so friendly an were very reliable when they scheduled an appointment with us they were on and very courteous.

After listening to several quotes and presentations, I was over listening to salesman trying to BS me. I reached out to sol reliable through a referral and was extremely pleased with the result. Not only did I not have to hear the same redundant sales pitch... It was done all through email and text with zero pressure. Sol Reliable has a direct sales department which allows you to get the lowest quotes for the best products on the market. All I had to do was communicate with Allen Ladd, and he answered all my questions honestly and knowledgably. It's been 6 months and I love my SunPower solar system. It didn't cost me a dollar out of my pocket, and I saved 1/3 of my bill. I highly recommend both Sol Reliable, and Allen to assist you. read more

I had been researching and consulting with a multitude of solar energy companies, and to be honest I was getting discouraged. I was not receiving the best in client care even though I was just inquiring, but then I got a recommendation to talk to a young gentleman named Allen Ladd. All my husband and I could say was WOW. From the moment he picked up the phone, to going through all of the different options and pricing for our home, we were completely blown away by his demeanor and knowledge of the field. We ended up getting an unbelievable deal for putting solar panels over our back side roofing of our home. The installation was flawless without any complications. We felt at ease knowing they were making modifications to our home. We are so happy to go green and to save money as living in Los Angeles is not exactly inexpensive. Would highly recommend doing service with Allen again as we most definitely are for the next home we buy. Thanks Allen & Sol Reliable!! read more
