I updated my rating back to 5 Stars based on their cooperation in addressing the issues reasonably fair.

A few months ago, we decided to move forward with installing a 13.4 KW solar system. Imperial Solar was fair and transparent during the evaluation, and efficient and detail-oriented throughout the installation. The crew arrived on time and left the area clean. The system was installed professionally and looks excellent. Since our meter change, our bill has decreased by 80%, even during winter. We look forward to seeing our savings in the summer. We are very satisfied with Imperial Solar and highly recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

I recently purchased a Tesla and I wanted to get the Tesla Wall Charger. Photon Brothers is one of…read morethe local, Tesla approved providers/installers. I got an estimate from them and went ahead with the install. This morning the installer, Jessie, showed up at my home (he was early, which was good). After explaining the installation process, as well as my new charger's features, Jessie went right to work. The whole install process did not take very long. Walter walked me through how the charger works (pretty simple) including the WiFi connection. After he finished Jessie made sure that the area was clean and that all installation debris was picked up. I am somewhat disappointed that my chosen installation location (inside the garage) could not be used. But Walter showed me how inside the garage would have been a very tight fit. So overall I am OK with the set-up. Next month the Photon Brothers will come to install the Tesla Powerwall to go with my solar panels. I expect that everything will go smoothly!

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.

We took a couple of months to meet up with other roof companies for quotes and ultimately hired DLS…read moreDevelopment. Spencer from DLS Development gave a great pitch, plus the quote was one of the lowest we received from almost all roofing companies. They reached out over a month later to check in and offer an additional discount. Pros: The workers did an excellent job and worked from nearly sunup to sundown. They had a few questions, which I could answer (or get my husband to answer) when I was around. It took about 4 days for them to tear off the old shingles and install the new ones. And it was hot out there! They did the work quickly, professionally, and efficiently! One of the crew members performed a walk-through with my husband once they finished, and my husband was very pleased with the finished product. I feel very grateful looking at my roof now, since the old one was very old. Cons Once we signed the contract and paid the initial deposit, we were told that the permit for our house needed to be pulled and that it would take about a week. Almost two weeks later, I asked the project manager if she had pulled the permit and when the project could begin. She then let me know the roofers would begin the following week. I guess I hoped that the project manager would have reached out to me first to let me know that the permit situation was complete and that they would begin the roofing process. You need to take initiative and find out what's happening, since I've never had a roof replaced before. Next, the project manager informed us they discovered and replaced rotted wood. The project manager sent us a change order for the additional amount, yet the contract did not list any extra charge for rotted wood. Additionally, they had already replaced the "rotted wood" before we signed anything, and they had no clear photos showing any rotted wood. It took a lot of emails and texts back and forth before we reached a resolution we were happy with. Still, it was a headache and frustrating for several days; we had to deal with uncertainty and explanations. Finally, the project manager never confirmed when the inspector for the last inspection would actually come to our house to collect my signature on a form. We didn't know whether we needed to be at home, leave the document out somewhere, or when the process would officially end. I received an email from the project manager asking me to reply and attach the form with my signature, as the inspector had come around but could not collect it because I was not there. I replied to the email with the form and asked the project manager if I needed to do anything else. Only when I reached out again to the general DLS development general email was I told what day the inspector would come around again to collect the form. We're thrilled with the roof and the quality of work, but it would've been less of a headache to have a lot of this information up front without having to keep asking, since I'm unfamiliar with the roof process. I also had to email the general DLS development email, as the project manager was not responding to some questions and concerns as quickly as I would've liked. I know she probably had a million things going on, but it felt like I got a response much quicker once I emailed through the general company email. This was not a cheap project, and I feel like this company lacks clear communication, but their workers and work are absolutely outstanding.

Immediate phone calls and text were appreciated. l wanted the "Tesla" battery it was explained why it wouldn't be beneficial to me and there were alternatives. All other solar inquiries rolled it into their estimate without any hesitation. So, if solar is on your bucket list for 2026, you wont go wrong with getting an estimate from Johnny and his team at Next Door. I was very happy with the choice I made. Truly wish every home project had this kind of experience with a contractor. Side note, they did my roof too... They new I had dogs and made sure there were no nails or debris for my vet to be compensated handsomely.

I had an exceptional experience with Next Door Home Upgrades, and I want to share just how smooth,…read morehonest, and efficient the entire process was from start to finish. I reached out to Johnny on October 8th, 2025 about installing solar with battery backup. He met with me personally, explained every step clearly -- system design, permitting, timelines, PTO with Edison, and realistic expectations. What immediately stood out was his no‑pressure approach. He didn't try to upsell or push me into anything. He simply gave me straightforward information, answered every question, and let me decide at my own pace. I felt confident enough to sign the contract within two days. Before choosing them, I had gathered multiple quotes through a solar marketplace. Because it was a busy season due to the Federal rebate impending sunset on Dec 31st, 2025, most vendors were slow to respond as everyone was trying to rush to meet the Dec 31st deadline. Some installers had contract clauses I simply couldn't agree to. Johnny's pricing was not cheap but upfront and transparent. No hidden conditions, no questionable fine print, and no pressure tactics. Just a price backed by professionalism. And you get what you pay for. I am glad I chose them. They began pulling permits the following week, and the project moved quickly. By mid‑November 2025, they had installed a 10.78 kW solar system with 20 kW of Enphase batteries. I chose Enphase microinverters, which allow me to monitor each panel individually through the Enphase app -- a huge advantage over systems that only show total production. The installation crew was super courteous, kind, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. They kept the worksite tidy throughout the job and made sure everything was spotless when they finished. I'll be adding pictures of the awesome team to this review and updating it with their names as well. A big shoutout to Micole, who handled all the documentation and communication. She was consistently on top of every detail -- permits, inspections, utility paperwork -- and she responded promptly every time I had a question. Her organization and responsiveness made the entire process feel effortless. Another major plus: Next Door Home Upgrades helped me secure a loan through one of their partner lenders, and the entire approval and setup process was smooth and hassle‑free. No delays, no surprises -- just straightforward financing that made the project even easier. Once the system was installed, inspections were completed within a couple of weeks. Then came the part most installers hesitate to commit to: Permission to Operate (PTO) from Edison. Nearly every other company I spoke with told me they could not guarantee PTO by year‑end. Johnny didn't make unrealistic promises either, but he did explain that Simi Valley's building department is efficient and that Edison typically processes PTO quickly once everything is submitted. He was right. I received PTO on December 10, 2025, well ahead of my December 31st deadline -- giving me plenty of time to secure the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit without any stress. The system has been performing flawlessly. Over the last six months, my electric bills -- which used to average $280-$300 per month -- have dropped to just $22. I also want to highlight Enphase's customer service, which has been outstanding. They remotely checked my batteries to ensure optimal performance and even came onsite twice to fine‑tune the software, despite everything already showing perfect on the app. Their Enphase 10C batteries come with a 15‑year warranty, compared to the 10‑year warranties many competitors offer. And the level of monitoring access with Enphase -- including individual panel monitoring -- is something many other inverter systems simply cannot provide. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional -- honest communication, excellent workmanship, realistic timelines, smooth financing, fair pricing, and a team that genuinely cares about doing things right. Johnny, Micole, and the entire crew (to update names soon) delivered exactly what homeowners hope for: a professional, reliable solar installation that delivers real results. If you're considering solar or home energy upgrades in Simi Valley or nearby areas, I wholeheartedly recommend Next Door Home Upgrades. They exceeded every expectation
