Within an hour of posting my initial review regarding a delayed referral bonus, the owner…read morepersonally reached out, apologized for the administrative oversight, and sent the $500 immediately. 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.

Green Hill came as a recommendation by my roofer. Our PV system is a Sunrun lease, requiring contractor approval. Green Hill got me the necessary paperwork [Communication] Ida was project manager and was responsive over email and text. He handled communication with my roofer as well so the solar wouldn't be off the roof any longer than needed. We received photos of the work after each visit. [Workmanship] The same guys who removed the panels handled reinstallation. They kept things clean, other than a few parts and screws left on the roof after removal and prior to the reroof. After reinstall, they washed down the panels and confirmed the system was back and running. Both visits were less than a half day each. One big caveat: we've yet to have a heavy rain, so the mounts/penetrations/sealant has yet to be tested for watertightness.

This one star review is merited and should be heeded by others considering adding solar because…read morethere are other options in Southern California where you will get essentially the same product for lower cost, less disruption, and FAR better service. Having spent $50K with Green Hill Solar, the experience was nothing less than shocking. The communication was horrific -- riddled with inaccuracies, split among 5 different "client facing" individuals who did not communicate with one another. Home visits and hard costs continued to increase well beyond what was originally communicated. No effort was made to outline expectations and we were met with surprise visit with loud drilling 6ft under the house, city requirements that escalated the costs, multiple unannounced days on site, moving start dates, inconsistent directives on payment for a massive bill (from "pay upon completion" to "pay invoices as they arrive") and much more. All of this *could* have been managable (although not worth it financially) but the truly shocking last straw was the way the "customer service" personnel spoke to me and to my wife who was working from home, largely via text. We saved all correspondence and offered them to ownership several times, but they never responded to outreach. We could make them available to anyone considering working with this provider. Bottom line -- at a $50K investment level for a straightforward installment, we received worse customer service than we would get a a fast-food restaurant, and escalating costs akin to a major construction project. There are plenty solar providers here in SoCal to choose from -- we strongly suggest finding a resource other than Green Hill Solar. It is a highly irresponsible, unprofessional and unreliable outfit which needs a total overhaul in pricing, protocols, training and likely staffing.

Cannot recommend this business, unless you like to be ghosted and disrespected…read more I scheduled an appointment with Scott on Monday (July 27th) for the following Wednesday in the morning. He does not show up. I texted twice, a few hours apart, asking where he was. I finally get a response around 5pm, telling me that an emergency came up and he would have to reschedule me. OK, things happen, but I would have appreciated a text beforehand to let me know so that I am not stuck waiting around for him all day. I let it go. I follow up on August 3rd, because he fails to contact me for reschedule. A few days go by with no contact. This time I call. He is apologetic and says he will ensure that his secretary schedule me with either him or one of his techs and that he was not "ignoring me on purpose". I tell him, hey, look things happen I get it, would you please reschedule me so I can get my HVAC serviced? He says sure and again.. nothing. I follow up AGAIN and we finally schedule for today on 8/14 between 8-12pm. It is now 11:12 am. I just sent a text asking him if he was planning on showing up and there was no response. At this point I am fed up. This is absolutely disrespectful to my time, patience, and pretty much amounts to gross negligence at this point. Why am I working so hard to give this man business? Why am I consistently being ignored? This is not a way to run a business. Two missed appointments, multiple messages ignored, failure to communicate. Just avoid at all costs. Response to comment: I find it hilarious that instead of taking responsibility for screwing over your client, you are blaming it on scheduling conflicts. "Doing your best to honor scheduled appointments" is not a thing -you either honor them or you don't. Like, you can't just schedule out an appointment with a client and then decide on a whim if you're going to show up or not. If you do not have time, why not schedule me when you are free? Why are you scheduling me and not showing up? Why not communicate? Most businesses block off that specific date and time for that specific client, that is why appointments exists. Just unbelievable.

This has been an unnecessarily difficult process. Communication has been non-existent. I have…read morebeen handed off to various people every time I called trying to get information. They do a lot via text, which I liked, but it turned out not at all useful. I would text for updates, and hear nothing back. I would call to find out my contact was out of the office, on vacation, or any number of excuses. This went on for many weeks. I did not know the date for installation until a delivery of equipment showed up at my house unannounced. It was a good thing I happened to be home that day! I thought the installation itself had gone well. They installed the system in two days and everything looked great. Then, I had to wait for the meter collar to be installed. I was told it was going to be performed by their technician. Turns out it has to be done by SCE and that had not been scheduled. After I called again, SCE was finally notified. SCE arrived several days later to discover the cables were too short to install the meter. Now I have wait again for OC solar to come out again and fix this issue and wait again for SCE to finally install the meter so that I can use my new system. I hope the system works.

We hired this company based on a recommendation from our roofing contractor's project manager, but…read moreunfortunately, they did not live up to that recommendation or the positive reviews we saw online. The scope of work was the removal and reinstallation of our existing solar panel system during a roof replacement. Estimate: Fair pricing. Communication: Quite lacking. It felt like we always had to be the ones initiating contact, even when it came time for them to collect their payment. Service and Workmanship: The removal took one day and the reinstallation took another. We didn't have any issues with the removal, but the reinstallation had several major flaws. Most notably, they reused the original flashings, which were bent and warped. Because of this, our brand-new shingles could be subjected to warping. We pointed out a few visibly damaged flashings at the corners, but we have no way of knowing the condition of the flashings hidden beneath the panels. Considering we just spent $20,000 on a new roof, they really should have asked if we wanted to replace the old flashings with new ones. Now, I am just hoping we don't end up with leaks in a few years. Cleanup: The second major problem was their lack of professionalism at the end of the job. When they finished, they simply walked off. They didn't clean up or pick up their trash, leaving debris all over the roof, roof gutter, and throughout the yard. Overall: I absolutely would not have hired this contractor if I had known how poor the workmanship and customer service would be.
