Had a great experience with install. The crew I had was the OC Calaveras - David , Frank , Ricky , Ronaldo , Daniel. They did a great job, cleaned up well, and even accommodated our baby's sleeping schedule. Highly recommended. Thank you! read more

Very poor communication. Nobody managing the project. Took over a year. Roofers were a complete joke and terribly unsafe. They dropped 3 sheets of plywood off my second story roof, knocking down their ladder. Called solar guys back to fix a problem but they didnt have anyone because they were all out doing new installs. Their warranty is worthless if they cannot provide service. Eventually they sent somebody but i lost out on a lot of energy generation while i waited, and it cost me money. read more

Just acoid yourself the headache. Solar turned into the biggest scam ever. They will sell you a system not built for your house. Then they wont send you a technician. Just dont. read more

I had Matthew Godman review my utility usage and was nervous at first because of previous reviews and online articles about door to door representatives. After their analysis with a SolarEdge battery backup I am able to save over 50% on my utilities and didn't have to pay anything out of pocket with more energy to use for an electric vehicle and my pool. The company does everything in-house except roofing which was comforting compared to other companies that I was comparing. Matthew was very helpful and educated about the industry, utility rate increases and protecting my home and increasing the home value. read more

Freedom Forever - Solar Installation Near Me

See all

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HIRE THIS COMPANY. My experience with them has been a nightmare. Long story short, their installation crew punch holes in my roof when they installed the panels and with the reason rain, water leaked into my house and caused over $15000 worth of damage. Dispute department is useless. My house continues to take on more damage due to the recent rain and no one from Freedom Forever has done anything to fix the damaged roof. Nightmare! read more

In my opinion, this company, both in the Bay Area and in Los Angeles, is a bad actor in faith and practices for the advantages it tries to take of the elderly and lack of accountability. This includes bait-and-switch, misinformation, and no way of filing complaints to address these issues. They are dishonest and have the worst business representatives, from salespeople to managers. read more

Awful, awful, awful. The installers completely messed up my house during installation and got bits of the roof all over the floors, the beds, the desks, kitchentop counters, everything. They said they'd fix it and did a half-assed job just in the living area floor and left stains on the countertops. There is still bits of the stuff all over the dining room table, my bed, and the third bedroom. They claimed that they had to leave immediately and disappeared on me after they promised they would show up the next day and lend me a mini-vac to clean the rest of it up and they never showed up. My agent tried to call them, no response. I called FF directly and they said no incident was logged and I wouldn't get a response for two additional days. WTF. read more

This company is a nightmare. DO NOT USE THEM! They will promise you everything and deliver nothing. Extremely poor service and follow up.

solar panael was install in august and was told in 2-3 weeks inspection will be done and they will ut on the system. waited and they came in november for inspection and now we have to wait for sce approval read more

Fast to install, Slow to complete projects. It's been 6 months of me paying for solar and the service isn't active. They've had to re-draw plans 3 times and have missed 3 inspections with the City. How can you miss 3 appointments you set? Very disappointed with the service. I'm still waiting on 3 months worth of reimbursements for them failing to have the service inspected and active. DO not use this solar company. read more

FREEDOM FOREVER NIGHTMARE X 4 (WARNING FOR OTHERS) NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN - MISSED THE NEM DEADLINE BECAUSE OF A FREEDOM ADDRESS ERROR, CONSTRUCTION NIGHTMARES, BROKEN HVAC UNIT, LOST PAPERWORK & PERMITS, INCORRECT PAPERWORK/PERMITS SUBMITTED 46546313468465 TIMES. The problems below are all caused by Freedom's lack of attention to detail. This has become a complete nightmare and a complete waste of time & MONEY. I completely regret working with them. ​ They have submitted wrong paperwork over and over, don't bother calling or emailing, they won't help you.... If you are already locked in with NEM or a roofing project - They will string you along for MONTHS. AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. ​ HOUSE #1 DECEMBER - Freedom lost & submitted the permits incorrectly multiple times. Currently in a loop on "demo permits & inspection" - Permits originally lost in DECEMBER OF 2023. STILL NOTHING. The housing authority says they have submitted incorrect paperwork, missing information etc. ​ HOUSE #2 There is TRASH & old roofing materials sitting on my roof for over 2 months. The renters are now asking to be reimbursed for the # of times they have been inconvenienced by "hosting" inspectors, contractors, roofers, electricians, noise of all of the traffic on the roof, street parking, neighbors are complaining about the constant flow of people in the small & private neighborhood. The HOA is already contacting the renters & sending fines for the construction eyesores. BIG MISTAKE.... The two below properties have NEM paperwork/submissions mismatched. FREEDOM MESSED UP THE ORIGINAL NEM 2.0 SUBMISSION(S)- We notified Freedom multiple times. Freedom mixed up the two properties and NEVER fixed them. They submitted two applications for the SAME property. Now SCE will not honor the mix-up as we have "no record of a NEM application" for property #3. ​ HOUSE #3 Roofing contractors broke our HVAC. Nightmare to get it reimbursed. March 17th, Freedom team submitted Southern California Edison paperwork with the wrong address. SCE confirm it was canceled by Freedom. WE TOLD FREEDOM MONTHS AGO THAT THE PAPERWORK WAS COMPLETED INCORRECTLY. -No one checked if this was ever fixed. HOUSE #4 2/24 - Installed MONTHS AGO- Still not turned on-- WHY!?!? Because the city inspector has been out 3 times now. Failed inspection again, again and again. SCE is stating they messed up the NEM paperwork on this one too! read more

Much thanks for FF and their able rep Hain Chavez for getting our home rooftop Solar project in place and inspected/commissioned. With most everyone already in the service business, it is with gratitude that FF and Mr Chavez step into the breach and exceed normal expectations of good service. I was out of state when notified of the final county inspection, couldn't know what/how to accommodate the inspector who wouldn't stipulate thru email channel the inspection terms, and was vying against the time clock and potential rain-out to mete against the unknown. We were expecting headwinds and who-knows-what then Mr Chavez showed up, steadied my local representative who had little guidance, installed all needed Smoke/CO detectors, and helped satisfy the county inspector to deliver passage (whilst I was windowing in from thousands of miles away thru my 6-1/2" screen). Couldn't have hoped for a better outcome!!! Thank you Hain Chavez and Freedom Forever. This has been for us a long-in-coming project and good start to a long term contract relationship. Kudos... read more

After being in contact with Freedom Forever and being promised the return of two payments I received nothing. Waste of my time. 2/20/2023 We finally received our refund. I updated my review but being that they lack communication they will never have more than two stars. read more

Do not waste your time or money. They sign you up, and them they go missing. Horrible customer service and no accountability. It has been almost a year now since I signed up, and my solar is still not running. They have been collecting this entire time. read more

I have a rental property in Orange I had gotten freedom on my house in Lake Elsinore. Naturally it was a great experience the first time and just as good the second. They came and measured my roof with inspection just a day after we signed contracts. Tenants are happy and so am I read more

Please don't hire this company to do your solar. We hired them last March, it took them 7 months to complete the job. We were active in January 2024. We started making monthly payments in May of 2023. Not only was I making the monthly solar payment and our monthly SCE electrical bill. It gets worse, we finally have our solar the roof isn't finished. They left us with 2 different roof styles. They didn't keep the tile to fill in once solar panels were installed. They keep going back and forth with the roofing company. The aesthetics of our house look horrible with the unfinished roof. read more

Freedom Forever - Tricolor tile front facing of the solar is not finished. - Solar Installation Near Me

This company has been a complete pain to work with. The process of getting solar installed started back in September. It is now 8 months later and I am still dealing with getting everything complete. No part of the process has been completed without requiring multiple calls or emails from me to them. Most recent issue was someone had to come out to "repair" the system as it was not fully hooked up correctly. They forgot to turn it back on. They are now coming back out almost a week later to turn it on. And it required a call from me to even get the fact that it was left off brought to their attention and an appointment made. I would recommend find any installer aside from them. read more

worst customer service do not use run they will never get it working i have been paying and waiting since nov. 2023. read more

Highly recommend avoiding this company. They are mismanaged, and disorganized. They employ cut rate subcontractors that are overworked and difficult to deal with. The sales force will under quote and then ask for a change order (more money) to finish the job. I started a project with them in Oct 2022, received PTO in July 2023. FF made many mistakes along the way starting from the original quotation, permitting, contractor, equipment (e.g., installed an incorrect main power panel that had to be replaced) installation errors (e.g., sub panel had to be removed, junction box had to be rewired, etc.) to finish work (e.g., plastering and painting). Very painful process working with them. Now the system under-produces (sized at 4.8Kw, producing 3.6Kw). In spite of the "production guarantee" FF customer support was done nothing and does not return phone calls. read more

-0 stars!!! THE WORST! COST US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND ARE TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM. They defrauded our 90 year old mother. Then the system did not work for 6 months and she paid over $700 per month to Edison!!! They broke tiles on the roof and damaged the roof putting the tiles on. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - read more

Freedom Forever is an excellent company, they're very transparent about the entire process and make sure to point out the tax credit is exactly that unlike some other companies that will try to sell that as a rebate. The sales rep Ethan Guirguis was very courteous and the install team was very professional, and hard working. I would highly recommend anyone looking to go solar consider Freedom Forever as part of the process; they're an outstanding company with excellent customer service. read more

Constantly calling me and harassing me - DESPITE MY ASKING THEM REPEATEDLY TO REMOVE ME FROM THEIR CALLING LIST! I initially made the mistake of ALMOST hiring them. They responded to an online ad I'd fallen for. They SEEMED OK at first. But THEN their field-rep took the liberty of speaking on MY behalf WITHOUT my saying he SHOULD and I WASNT EVEN THERE to SCE (my power company)! Telling them (or my electrician) that I was going to need a MUCH bigger breaker box bc I was going Solar. Mind you, I was having my box redone bc some OTHER dipstick broke my meter off the pole- and it had taken over a MONTH to get a NEW meter put in and ALL the permits, inspections, etc. had me in hotels.. and THESE SCHMUCKS (Freedom Forever) tries telling them I was going to need a DIFFERENT ONE?! So I contacted the flake that first called me telling him how enraged I was and they STILL call, email and text me!!! JERKS read more

We had one of the worst experience with a sales rep. First off the rep was in plain clothes and only after having to ask twice what company he worked for did i get to Freedom Forever. When setting the appointment the rep had mentioned he would come back with a design ready and we could discuss numbers, pretty standard. The rep comes about 30mins early to the appointment the next day.... and proceeds to not be ready. I had to step out and my mother-in-law stayed to discuss with him. The rep proceeds to ask for my wifi because he has not done the design yet..... While this might be a trivial thing for some, i work from home with sensitive data, thus my home network is protected and not just given out to anyone. When i explain to him that i cannot give my wifi out, he proceeds to lie and say "well i already have your moms social security number haha". This did not sit well with me at all. When i called my mother in law to as if she gave her social to the sales reps, she says not and i hear the rep in the background yell "not yet". Not sure what type of business this is where having a rep like that is acceptable... I rush home at this point to ask them to leave, and proceed to get push back from the reps saying "well the title is on your mother-in-laws name too" i this point i was livid and proceeded to push for them to leave at that instant..... Once the rep left there was no apology.... A "director" came back to explain the guy was young (21) and shouldnt have made those comments. Young or not having someone be the face of your company should not conduct themselves in this manner.... read more

Get in writing everything your sales persons offers you, Freedom Forever does not honor referral fees. Plus terrible customer service. Choose another solar company to save you from tons of issues with this company. read more

If I knew at first, I would have never choose Freedom Forever! I started my contract since Mar, and now is Dec. my system is still not turned on. I started to pay on Sep, and Freedom Forever said they will reimburse if system is not turned on. First, I need the solar panel to work, second, I didn't get the reimbursement. And every time when I call customer service, they always tell me, they will review the ticket in 48 hours, which they don't . And again, my system is not turned on, nothing is fixed after 9 months. Absolutely disappointed, and do not recommend to anyone. read more

Zack team hooligans is good! Always on time and helpful,I don't know other reviews but my experience is good!

Everyone on our installation team the "Juice Crew" was fantastic. The team was professional, efficient and friendly explaining exactly what would be happening on our installation day. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their work and got along really well as a team! When it came time for our final inspection our site tech Tyrone was equally fantastic keeping us informed of exactly what would happen that day and ensuring the project was 100% up to par and that our installation received final approval so we were good to go! Freedom was contracted for us by Sunrun to complete our install and was simply incredible! This is a company I would 100% endorse for a solar install in So Cal. read more

Great communication and fast installation. Miles and Alpha "A" squad came and, in less than 6 hours, had my entire house completed. They did an excellent job. All the work came out very clean and looks great. Miles and his team were extremely friendly and professional. Everything was explained, and all my questions answered. Great job, Alpha Squad. read more

The initial installation was awesome. We were informed and the process was timely. The issue began when we had a problem with the system. Here is a summary: March 30th- solar began operating April 8th- system shutdown May 6th- One month after system shut down was first day someone could come out. He reviewed the issue was able to turn system to 50% production but required a roofer to come out and assist with the problem. By the way 50% production is not enough to cover our daily usage. June 2nd- again the earliest someone could get out, this time 2 technicians came but no roofer. I was told they needed a roofer and would need to reschedule. I asked to speak to someone in charge at this point and spoke to Nathan. I was informed a technician and roofer would be out on June 10th. Two more weeks. June 10th- I get a call from the technician that the roofer was I'll and they would have to reschedule. I sent an e-mail to Nathan but as of this writing have not heard back from him. I called on the 13th and 14th to speak to Nathan. I left messages for him to call me both times. On the 14th I was told he was out I'll. I was told on the 13th that I was scheduled for 28th. Amazing. It will be 3 months since solar production began and we've only had 100% production for about 10 days. My electrical bill is continuing to add up. Hopefully the problem will finally be resolved on the 28th. read more

Further update. Equipment still not working. I have PTO and generating ZERO electricity. Emails have been sent to customer support with no end in sight as to when they will come out and fix my equipment. Need this fixed NOW. read more

After being in contact with other solar companies we decided to go with Nick at Sunder and Freedom Forever! Just got our panels installed today, it's been about 6 weeks since our initial visit. Nick responded to all of our questions quickly and was more transparent than other companies. Process was extremely fast and smooth, would highly recommend to anyone in the market for solar panels! read more

I would like to give a shout out to the OC branch at Freedom Forever aka Nomads which includes Julio, Philip and Nolan. All of them were extremely kind, professional, personable and helpful through the whole process of installing the solar panels. They were on time and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend this team and company. read more

Lesson learned, check ratings before going with a company and best not to go through a broker! It has been 3 months since the solar panels were installed. The panels cannot even be turned on since they are still working on a structural observation letter for the city to approve. As far as I know that is still the issue, since you cannot get any assistance at all from the customer service call center in Las Vegas. At this point we are paying for solar financing and electricity as well. From day 1 there has been one issue after another, I even heard they are changing management within the company. Completely shoddy work ethics, buyer beware! read more

So, my only question is: Who is coming to my house today to fix my roof? I was promised Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday, then TODAY! No one has shown up and no one answers my calls, so where are you? Call me ASAP. You know my number. read more

Julio and Phillip of the NOMAD TEAM , Orange County Branch deserve a 5 star rating for them as leaders and their entire team. Very professional, courteous and "on the ball" in every aspect of their installation. I really appreciated these guys. They made what looked to be difficult, a very smooth installation. Thanks guys. "YOU ROCK!" read more

I was skeptical at going solar at first and did a lot of research. My wife and I vetted out 7 different companies and we chose Freedom Forever. Install crew was professional and got the job done within a day. We just got our system turned on last month and are very happy with our system. Highly recommend Freedom Forever and their team! read more

I reached out to and got quotes from eight different solar installers. I did this because I didn't know a lot about the topic but also because I quickly realized most didn't know much about what they were selling. Between the signing of the contract to the activation of my system, every call, text and e-mail was answered quickly - the level of response never changed, even after they had my money. They provided a timeline for the entire process and not once did anything slip. In fact, they came in AHEAD of schedule. There are a lot of solar companies, especially in California. If you're considering a project like this, Freedom Forever is my number one recommendation after great first hand experience. read more
