I made a poor decision and had another solar company install panels and a battery. Equipment was installed and the following week that company went out of business. As I was left holding the bag, I discovered that that company did not generate a permit either before of after installation so I had to scramble to get that issue resolved to get the proper inspections completed. I got hold of Chris at Aztec and he was a fountain of great information. Chris gave me the information and contacts as to how to get my project to the inspection stage. Chris went totally out of his way to help me. As hindsight is 20/20 I wish that I had started with Aztec from the start. This company is the only one you will need to contact regarding all of your solar needs. If I could rate them higher than 5 stars I definitely would. Irv S. read more

This company is First Class. On time efficient and excellent customer service. I am so happy with my new pool solar. The panels are really nice looking. Everything activated today. Waiting for pool to heat up. read more

We had our solar installation several years ago. We've never had any problems. They walked me through how to work it step by step. We took a video of the instructions and refer to it on occasion. read more

I really appreciate how Aztec Solar is walking the walk by incorporating electric vans as part of the work vehicles. The EVs are reducing their operations costs, which I think means lower cost for customers. On top of that, they have fast chargers at their office, which are open to the community. I used them; they are fast. I appreciate businesses that take the lead in encouraging the adoption of not just cleaner, but more economical technologies. read more

We requested quotes from quite a few Solar providers to help us decide on installing Solar. To start off we did not get Solar installed right now but decided to hold off for now. Despite our choice, I wanted to give a shout out to Matt at Aztec Solar for his professional interactions with us. After going over our needs and providing options we decided to hold off but really appreciated the information that Matt gave us. His recommendations and no pressure explanation of everything made me feel secure about waiting on Solar. Having someone come out twice and go over our options and leaving the door open for us is really amazing . Although we are holding off right now. When I come back to this project, Aztec will be at the top of my list. The options they provided and the information was the best and it wasn't just about trying to sell us the most expensive system. Aztec wanted to make sure I was making the right choice and I really appreciate it! Definitely call these people if you are not sure about solar and need good no high pressure information! read more

We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Aztec Solar Inc. for our pool solar installation. We had a terrible experience trying to get pool solar from Diablo Solar Services Inc. this summer. They wanted to do the work without applying for a permit, which is a requirement in the state of California. Upon insisting on a permit, they charged us double the cost for the permit and were unable to secure the permit after 4 months and several submittals to the city. These are the reasons we terminated our contract with Diablo Solar Services, Inc. and contacted Aztec Solar Inc. for our pool solar installation. Our experience with Aztec Solar Inc. exceeded our expectations from start to finish! From the first consultation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They provided us with a clear and detailed quote, answered all of our questions patiently, and worked with us to design a system that would maximize sun exposure while keeping things aesthetically pleasing. The installation process was smooth and efficient. The crew arrived on time, worked diligently, and left everything clean and tidy when they were done. They even took the time to walk us through how everything worked and made sure we were comfortable with the new setup. From front contact with Aztec Solar Inc., the process from requesting a permit, installation of product, and final inspection only took 5 weeks. We highly recommend Aztec Solar Inc. to anyone considering solar, especially for pool heating. Great service, great product, and an overall fantastic experience! read more

Please read my review before you use Aztec to install your pool solar. I found out about Aztec from amazing reviews from my parents, and friend that has great experiences with Aztec 2-5 years ago. We finally decided to get pool solar heat installed, and didn't even look elsewhere as it was not a question who we would use. From the moment the install crew showed up, it was nothing but issues. 1. Sales guy said panels should be on the back of the hosue, were installed on the front. (Without notifying me) 2. Leak on valve In pool plumbing that they installed, installer tried to leave without telling me then admitted to trying to silicone a cracked automatic valve to salvage it (obviously didn't work) 3. Disconnected all of my pool water features and purposefully used those slots for the solar (never told me/ asked me if this was okay). Tried to leave my house with my 6month old pool completely unusable. 4. 2 leaks on my roof, one in a glued PVC connection and one in a standard fitting. To summarize, all of these issues happened within 24hrs of installation. I escalated my concerns to their service manager, he stated the install crews are used to only working till noon in the winter, and it has lead to them rushing their work. Please, do your research, and have other companies quote you besides Aztec. I paid $7200 for "top quality" work and was left with quality worse than a handyman could have achieved. At the end of all this, I was offered no sympathy or real solutions. I will never use or recommend Aztec solar ever again. read more

We did a solar project to take the suns heat and place it into our warm pool. The price was very fair and the workmanship was excellent. It all came together nicely and we're very pleased. We've cycled through a couple of seasons now with no issues. Earl was, and still is, outstanding. He's helped us with our controller a few times. His description and guidance for seasonal startups and shutdowns has been incredible. An absolute gem of a human! THANKS EARL!! read more

Recently replaced our original Fafco pool solar system with a Heliocol system installed by Aztec. The experience was nothing short of premier, when I consider the quality of the product and design presented for the replacement system. Now, we all know there are issues with any project, but what has been different this time around is the quality of the post installation response to those few hiccups. Aztec has been responsive throughout the process, is more than willing to answer technical questions, and educate us relative to not only their system, but the entire pool system and installed equipment. I think most people will agree that after sales/installation support and maintenance has a huge impact on customer perception, recommendations and overall rating of the company at large. It would seem to me that Aztec is on the right track and is striving to be a top notch "service organization".... Hopefully, their approach will provide growth to their customer base. read more

Getting solar last summer was a great call for lots of financial reasons and the Aztec guys were super knowledgeable without being pushy/salesy like some of the really big firms. The price was the lowest, the equipment was the best in the business and the job got done fast. I've recommended them to others and now you as well. Would recommend three things if I did it all again. Have them install an upstream monitor for power use (so you can compare it with your production) for a meaningful daily productivity snapshot of use/generation. Second, tell the guys who install the system to triple check that they picked up all the little racking bits that get cut/sheared/dropped during the process of installation. I'm still finding a piece here or there and I don't want my kids to cut themselves while exploring the yard. Last thing, I'd still recommend Aztec :) read more

Aztec Solar - About 9 months of solar. Monitoring of Aztec system done by Enphase who makes the micro inverters. Good product and accompanying app. - Solar Installation Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Had previous system replaced by Aztec in 2021 due to leaks. Initial installation left some leaks in plumbing at roofs edge and they had to come back out and fix it. Turned on solar this season and got open solar sensor warning on my controller. Called Aztec and they said $130 for first 15 min + $30 for each 15 min + $10 travel charge to Rocklin, + $130 if they need to replace the sensor ($20 on Amazon). I scheduled a service call anyway since my wife didn't want me on the roof. After a lot of consideration, I got up there anyway and found they installed the roof solar sensor with a zip tie and about 3" of slack. After a few years of flopping about in the wind the wire broke. When I called them and explained this situation they said the call would still be a charge. I cancelled the service call and fixed it myself with a couple of wire nuts. read more

We have been working with Aztec for several years now. They are easy to get a hold of and make appointments. Their customer service is great. When they show up they are polite and quick. We use them for our pool solar. read more

This company was great until installation was complete. Good luck getting service from them. My true up has gone up to $10,000 a year and I've been calling them trying to figure out my usage. There was an app they gave me originally but I switched jobs and now I can't access it because I changed my email. I have called multiple times and asked for help on this and they just blow me off every time and say they'll call me back and then never do all I want to know is if my solar is even working. I just can't get anybody there who will help me. read more

Called today for a price to troubleshoot a solar pool heating system. Nice system, no leaks, something very simple. Was told "$150.00 for the first 15 minutes, then $30.00 each additional 15 minutes." Really? read more

They spend good money I assume to advertise on AM 1530 radio so my dad suggested I call since we are about to put an 8 to 10 panel Solar system on my sisters home. I tried live chat on their website and it's just an automated bot or an overseas call center that fields the chats to try to collect your email or phone #. I then called the office and the owner who is apparently then only person there who can tell you anything about their $9995 internet special only works a few days a week (Wednesday to Saturday I believe). The website link to this special gives no details here and just prompts you to a data collection form. The receptionist couldn't even tell me if they sell/support SunPower panels. This would be a little like a restaurant not knowing if they serve Coke or Pepsi in their soda machine. How about you have knowledgeable salespeople answering the phone and closing leads 24/7 or at least Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm? Moving on to find a solar company that I can reliably reach and have answer questions quickly and do a bid for me. Imagine how hard it would be to reach them in the future if there is a problem. read more

Excellent. They provided the information I needed, and I will follow up. I anticipate doing business with them.

Shout out to Aztec Solar. Pool solar panels installed by a company with guys in red trucks had failed last fall to keep scheduled appointments, so I asked for a recommendation from the NextDoor community. Suggestions were few and far between, but Aztec was one and I decided to give them an opportunity to earn my business. They did NOT disappoint. Instead of a $199 service fee just to come out for an estimate for repairs + repairs, etc., they offered a flat fee to get system running for summer which included repair of pool solar. Wow! In addition, they actually arrived on the exact date scheduled AND within the exact time range (BTW only a 2-hour window)....Awesome! Finally, solar pool heat is working great! Thank you Aztec Solar. read more

Didn't even get past the first phone call. My house in Elk Grove is 10 more minutes drive compared to going to Carmichael based on their address. They want to nickel and dime people within the county by charging a "travel fee" to drive an extra ten minutes. That coupled with the "every 15 minute" charges just seems wild to me. The entire conversation I had with the person who answered the phone seemed a way to just get me to say no to hiring them. When your conversation begins with a series of red flags, why on earth would I hire you? Pro-tip: Don't pay for quotes, don't pay for travel fees, and don't hire companies that want to charge you based on the 1/4 hour. Especially a company whose work you don't know. Those 15 minute increments can lead to a very hefty bill. Find a company that either works on a flat rate or an hourly rate. Get out of here with your travel fee. Ridiculous. read more

Love the pool solar system installed in 2022...really did change the pool temperature and the amount of our pool use! Quality installation and ongoing service for seasonal turn on and off. Love the quality of the roof collectors. The controller makes our system completely automate read more

We chose Aztec over a few other companies for pool solar and their quality of work was awesome. I was on the fence between Aztec and another company for our pool solar but after talking to Tom Gonzales it was a no brainer. He didn't try to upsell us like other companies did and he was very attentive to what we wanted. Luckily we got our solar project done within 3 weeks after initially reaching out to them. Can't thank Tom enough for everything. Strongly recommend contacting Tom for any solar read more

Update! Aztec contacted us and took our bid to fix the issue they created. We appreciate that they took ownership of this issue and did what they could to repair it. We were given a check from them so now we will hire the contractor to do the repairs. BTW our solar has been keeping our pool nice and warm and perfect for swimming! WARNING!!! This company cuts corners! They do terrible work!! We hired Aztec Solar to install our solar heater for our pool 4 years ago. Nothing but problems!!! Recently we had a drainage issue on our side yard. Our neighbor was dealing with access water from our property going to them. We dug up the area and guess what we found??!! We had a corrugated pipe that Aztec cut in order to lay their pipe. They could have put their pipe above or below our drainage pipe but instead they cut it?! What?? Yes that's right, they cut it, now our drainage pipe is filled with mud. We called Aztec and asked to speak to the manager on this issue 3 days ago... surprise, surprise they aren't calling us back. We are looking into a law suit at this point. Not only has their terrible work left our side yard flooded but our neighbors are furious too! Last winter they had to replace all their flooring and furniture because it flooded so bad, now we know why. read more

Aztec Solar - They laid down their pipes and cut our drainage pipe, see that? Such bad work ethic - Solar Installation Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

They were much higher priced than who I went with, ACR Solar. That's all I have to say

I cannot count how many times we have had to call customer service because our system isn't working. It is 90° full sun and our system won't turn on. It is prime time to be heating our pool. Called customer service and their next available appt is THREE WEEKS OUT. Why get pool solar if it's not even going to work when you most need it?! Terrible system, worse customer service. read more

one of the reasons I chose Aztec Solar is because I see new solar companies coming and going all time. Aztec Solar has been around for a long time. We received good service with competent workers. was it the cheapest company? No they weren't but I trusted them. read more

We loved the professionalism of the Aztec team. They are 100% responsive, did and coordinated every step without a glitch. We have had our system a year this month - our end of year PGE bill was a CREDIT of $140. No true-up to pay. Thank you Aztec. Alan & Sheri Estes - Stockton read more

Aztec installed our first set of solar panels about three years ago then when PG&E upped their rates we added more panels in 2022. We also had them replace and install a new pool solar heater system. They are professional and reachable by phone or email and scheduled the work in a reasonable period of time. They are good at explaining the technical aspects of the systems. read more

Good customer service. They installed solar panels for my pool last year, I had a lot of questions learning how to work the new system, they always responded quickly. read more

Spent over $6k on installation of pool solar system. Been awesome. Now I wanna add the automatic control panel and they wanna charge me over $200 to give me an estimate even though they installed the original and have all the details and I'm already a customer. That's just poor customer service. I don't want to go with another company but feel I'm gonna have to. Bummer read more

We had a great experience with Aztec Solar from start to finish. The crew that installed our panels were on time and very efficient and respectful. read more

Customer service is awful. They do not return calls. It has taken us 3 weeks to get through the process of scheduling a technician. The rep was very condescending when asking for a credit card to hold the appointment. read more

Aztec has competitive pricing. Their staff was professional and they were able to meet our schedule. I would highly recommend Aztec!

We got our house and pool solar through these guys. The dude comes to hook up the pool solar and doesn't even bring whatever he's supposed to bring. The office called to reschedule in 10 days like wth! Can't rely on these guys. Pay a little extra and go somewhere else. These guys are just after your $$$ read more

Happy with the work from Aztec for our pool solar. We worked with Lloyd and he wasn't high pressure and explained things well. So happy to be able to enjoy our pool at a lovely temperature now.... 86 degrees!!!! read more

Had solar pool installation last spring. They did a great job. Very professional very courteous. System is working great!

We moved to Granite Bay and we bought our home, knowing that we wanted to install both solar panels and pool solar. We did research and decided Aztec Solar was our best option, which proved true. They explained everything that we needed to know. Their estimates were accurate in terms of time and money. The finished products are both working perfectly and we are happy with their follow through. We highly recommend Aztec Solar. read more

Highly recommend this company. They just put solar on 2 houses for us. Everything went perfectly. Great communication from start to finish. Quality company and installation. read more

They put a solar system on our house They were very professional to work was clean done well past the city inspection and has been producing power ever since. I highly recommend them read more

The have been out to my home several times to repair my solar pool heater. This was not a system they installed. The repairs were done fast and at a cost that was lower than I was expecting. Because of my positive service experiences with them, I am now considering them for solar power installation. read more

I wanted to start by saying that my experience with your company has been very very easy overall for my recent solar install. Great work putting together quite a service and company. It's hard to find people you can trust and rely upon, especially in areas regarding sales. That being said, I wanted to reach out and personally give accolades to my first point of contact: Clint Crary. I immediately felt comfortable with him, and his delivery of information was, and continues to be, top notch. Aside from being very knowledgeable in a multitude of areas, he proved to excell further yet in what is arguably the most vital virtue of integrity. Throughout the entire process, I had many many questions. I tend to be overly-analytical, cautious and even weary when it comes to large, expensive projects that I'm not personally performing or overseeing. Clint did a stellar job of easing my doubt, primarily because he was downright honest. He refused to "sell" me. Instead, he informed me. I really want it to be known that Mr. Crary has superior character traits to other folks I spoke with in your industry. Your company (through Clint) was the first bid I received of what became 4 total bids. It wasn't the cheapest. It wasn't the most local company. It wasn't the biggest company. But I can say without question, I chose to move forward with Aztec Solar because of Clint Crary. I've also recommended 2 more personal contacts to him for their solar projects. Thanks again for maintaining a great company and helping out folks like me with tough decisions. read more

Once they've installed pool or PV solar, it's out of sight...out of mind. They are supposed to arrange for pool solar turn-on and turn-off. Yet after being a customer for over 10 years they "forgot" to call and ultimately set up solar turn-on for July 7th. So about 1/2 of summer use already gone. For my PV solar they installed panels and shortly afterwards the company who made the panels declared bankruptcy. Aztec refused to offer any waranty for the panels. I would not recommend this company. read more
