I cannot say enough about Heliogold's (now part of SolarTech) and Heliobuilders' owner, Jason. From start to finish, every concern was handled, and the work (roof, solar install, connection) was flawless. The work was fast, responses were never delayed, every employee courteous. This next part is more important, perhaps; we'd applied and been approved for the prior net metering with another contractor back in 2023. That business was no longer in proper status this year, and we were murky on what this meant for us - I figured we would be stuck with newer, less favorable net metering rules. Jason/Heliogold reviewed everything, worked with us, and helped us secure our NEM2 system, even though they could have encouraged us into a more expensive one. This level of honesty is beyond uncommon right now, as everyone knows. Bottom line - these are trustworthy, fantastic people. You can't go wrong hiring them. I'm already looking for a way I can weave them into my future house dream projects. read more

Matt was excellent to work with. Showed patience throughout the sales process and assisted me from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience with Solar Tech! Jason was incredible from start to finish -- super helpful, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to my questions. The whole process went smoothly, and the system is now up and running perfectly. Couldn't be happier with the quality of their work and the level of customer service. Highly recommend Solar Tech (and Jason in particular) to anyone thinking about going solar! read more

Honest and transparent and very real. Great customer service and explained everything very clearly to me prior to me agreeing to move forward. After several rounds of poor experiences with electric / solar consults until now, I am grateful. read more

Everything from this company has always gone pretty well. Their tax program is good but could be better. I appreciate the fact they always have good products. For a good price. Thank you heliogold read more

Great experience with Heliogold working on our solar energy system as part of a recent remodel last year. They were very responsive, took care of permitting, and had competitive and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience with Matt Reynolds at Heliogold! Highly recommend this company and especially this representative. We were shocked with the crazy high amount of $$ spent in paying our last true up to SDGE. We reached out thinking we needed to expand our solar field and/or expand our battery capacity. Either of these options would cost us $10k minimum! Matt reviewed our system, spent some time educating us, and then he encouraged us to change a few settings on our battery before taking steps to expand either system. So far the setting changes are working and it looks like we are using the capability of our systems better. The interaction with Matt gave us a sense of trust and confidence in his focus of doing the right thing for us & not just trying to sell us something we didn't really need. Thank you Matt!! read more

I requested a quote for solar panels last year. Heliogold was one of four contractors that I evaluated. I ended up selecting them because their customer service was fantastic. The owner Jason actually managed my project. He was extremely responsive. I even had to fly out of the country and he ensured that Sunpower's design was modified based on his expertise and got paperwork moving since I was out. The installation went smoothly. I would highly recommend them. read more

So, I bought my first solar array. I learned about the change from Net Metering 2 to Net Metering 3 less than one month before the statewide cutoff. Because of the nature of the place I live, the difference was potentially a hundred thousand dollars over the years. So I spent a couple days reading the internet in terror, trying to figure out what I needed, and why. Batteries? Cross? Got lost in the various panel types. Reading, reading, reading. It, honestly, sucked. Then I reached out to a solar installer. It wasn't Heliogold. Honestly, I started falling for it. They wanted me to add this; to add that. I called a buddy of mine who's an engineer. She laughed herself to tears when she heard what I almost bought, and then spelled out for me what she thought I should be getting. The other company had wanted to work me for tens of thousands of dollars of unnecessary gear, and since part of it was a battery system that would eventually need replacement, it might have cost me my NEM2 status. So I kept calling around, and kept her recommendation in pocket, but didn't mention it. I let the vendors say "you need this circus and that waterslide and this solid gold picture frame" over and over. Then I read something about vertical vendor integration, and decided I wanted a vendor that had that. SunPower seemed to my poor education to be the right choice. Heliogold seems to be the local SunPower installer. So I called Heliogold. They suggested almost exactly what my engineer friend suggested - to within five percent. When I said "well, such-and-such another vendor said I wanted X,Y,Z," although Heliogold were more polite about it than my friend, they gave the same explanation about why it probably wasn't a good fit, and why I should be spending less. Suddenly, I felt like I had an honest vendor. It was my first time feeling that way in solar. With time, we built an overprovisioned array intentionally by around 20%, to be ready for electric cars and a heat pump later, but otherwise, we did pretty much exactly what my engineer friend said to. This was eleven months ago. So far, there have been almost no problems - none from the vendor whatsoever. (The city took almost a month extra to give me permission to turn on, but that's because I was so close to the deadline, and not Heliogold's fault. And frankly, ... big deal. It's not like I didn't have other electricity.) My process with Heliogold has been punctual, friendly, polite, and pretty close to flawless. Obviously, just under a year in, if there will be hardware problems, I probably won't have hit them by now But they've tanked two 100 year storms already, and several large tree branches without a hint of damage So I have to say, I'm delighted with this company and the way that they've treated me so far I've only done solar once in my life, but once I was done with the parade of vendors, the one I chose treated me in a way that I think was high quality and successful. As an eleven month happy customer, I recommend Heliogold without reservation at this time. Be, uh. Be a little skeptical about your city's process. read more

Working with Heliogold was a great experience start to finish, and Matt helped every step of the way. Going into the project I knew very little about solar, net metering and how to finance the panels, but Matt was incredibly helpful in explaining things in detail and without any confusion. I would definitely recommend working with him for those who are unfamiliar with the process. He spent time walking me through how to interpret our SDG&E bills, both before and after installation. He also offered to meet again after a full year to review the performance of the system. Overall a great experience. If you're looking to go solar, I can't imagine anyone being clearer, easier to work with, or delivering a better product. Thanks Matt & Heliogold!! read more

Heliogold - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

I found SunPower Solar through my AAA Membership. I was matched with Heliogold as my local vendor. Our sales process began with a convenient Zoom call with our Sales Rep Danny. Danny did a great job of explaining the quality of SunPower panels, the high standard of service and installation of Heliogold, provided straightforward and upfront pricing, and set the expectation of the installation process. The price for our solar system was actually less expensive than I expected it to be. I asked about the battery storage and instead of being up sold, he explained that based upon on the Net Metering and the low number of power outages my area experiences, the added expense of storage was not recommended. Our entire project from start to finish was on time and seamless. Our panels were installed in one day. After SDG&E approval we were up and running within a couple of weeks of installation. The AAA SunPower promotion offered a $1,000 rebate. The online process to get the rebate was difficult. However when I reached out to Heliogold for assistance, my email was answered personally by the owner who promptly issued me a $1,000 rebate check without any drama. Thanks! A few weeks later I was contacted by Matt for a customer orientation. He came to my home to review my new SDG&E billing and true up process, and to answer any questions I might have. Heliogold was great to work with, I highly recommend them. read more

We were referred to Jason and the team at Heliogold through friends, and they did not disappoint. We got a new roof, AC and solar through Heliogold and the process was seamless! We highly recommend working with Jason and his team. read more

I normally just move on after these reviews but Jason the owner was persistent that my issues were a singular indiscretion. Sat with Jason the owner and decided to give them another shot. He has a good personality and took accountability. He also was empathetic to why I was frustrated and tried to put himself in my shoes. End of the day Helio was on the higher end then others but you pay for what you get. Don't mess around with something this costly. What's important to me is after contracts signed still being serviced and taken care of hoping that happens. Natasha was very helpful and communicative as well. Rare for me to come back after a bad experience, but hoping to update once panels have been installed that overall experience was 5 star. read more

Jasper was awesome very knowledgeable and helpful with my solar system. I would highly recommend these guys and especially Jasper. Thanks again guys!!! read more

Heliogold is an excellent solar energy company. After a year, I was contacted to review my expectations from the system and to review the annual Net Metering Summary. Joe Dale of Heliogold was patient and knowledgeable about the summary. He made recommendations regarding greater value strategies that can be utilized when I add my new EV. read more

I was lucky enough to get a new home this year and the first thing I did was install solar! I screened numerous companies & professionals to make the decision before selecting Heliogold to install my SunPower panels. Jason was my project lead, educational source, and strategy partner on location/capacity/break-even, etc.. He was GREAT! Communication was transparent, client service and attention to detail was perfect, and they were flexible when I changed my mind on the size of my installation mid-way through! They quickly provided me the numerous layout and capacity versions I wanted with budgets and power so I could compare the different scenarios. If you're considering solar installation, I would definitely consider these guys. And I would hire them again in a minute if (when) I have another job. Thank you Jason/Trevor! read more

SunPower by HelioGold did a great job with the planning and installation of my solar system. The whole team was fast, efficient, and friendly the whole time. I wholeheartedly recommend them! read more

Heliogold - SunPower by HelioGold inverter - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

Tom H. was one of the most responsive and reliable people that I have ever met. It was a definite pleasure working with him on my solar panel project. He was always very patient with the many questions that I posed to him, responded to each and every question in an expeditious manner, and was very dedicated to his work and seeing that my project was completed each step of the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is interested in doing a similar solar panel project. read more

I want to thank Joe at heliogold for helping me with my solar needs. I had initially signed a contract with Sunpower through heliogold, but wasn't able to proceed. Joe helped me find another vendor to get my solar installed when he had no incentive to or requirement to. Would recommend heliogold to anyone that can get Sunpower installed. read more

Bottom line: Joe Dale = Integrity, transparency, and follow through! I found Joe, VP of Heliogold in San Diego, through a mutual friend in the industry; however, this is ONLY after doing a lot of homework myself. I met with numerous other companies/sales people and was getting a sense of car salesman vibe i.e. they kept avoiding answering my tough/direct questions or just did not have answers to them and then just stopped responding to any communication. I met with Joe for the first time on a Zoom call. He already had a satellite view of my house with a proposal which we later worked to modify. He directly answered my tough questions when he could which was most of the time. He also acknowledged when something was variable (weather or such) or if he needed to get back to me with the answer, which was not often. For me, the ability of someone to say "I don't know" initiates integrity but then to go find the answer and follow-up with me promptly with that answer demonstrates integrity. Joe demonstrated integrity. The project cost was slightly more expensive (~3%) than others but I would be getting substantially superior/more efficient SunPower panels with tech like micro inverters and such, a lower expected degradation rate, and longer and more comprehensive warranty PLUS I would be generating about 140% of my annual usage vs. about 110% with the other companies I had shopped. Yes, a 3% higher price for a 30% more generation and longevity! That investment is a no brainer to me. A couple months post PTO, Joe makes the time to meet with me if I need it, pending his in-demand schedule. The mutual friend indicated the Joe does not abandon customers after a sale and I have found that to be accurate. read more

From the initial meeting all the way through to a potential service contract post-installation, the customer service at this company is....dare I say it...unparalleled? In a class by itself? Second to none? The last time I had this great of service was with John and Melissa Steele of Steele Realty. The opposite of this stellar service would be my experience with Hot Tub Cruisin', but I digress. Joe Dale, our salesperson, was such a clear communicator, consistent, and great with follow-through. He spent a lot of time with me, assessing what loan terms would be best for me, and he was infinitely patient as I asked multiple questions and never lost patience with me when I asked him to review or repeat information. He did a great job of building my trust through all that. I really appreciate how he carves out time for his customers post-installation and really takes a long term view of building relationships which of course should lead to referrals. (His parents should be proud and can't wait to see what he's built in 10 years!) Beyond Joe, I had a flawless experience with all other moving parts, from the loan to the installation, etc. Read other reviews that hone in on more of the specifics of the product, etc. but just know that this team is striving to rise to the top and be an industry leader for the long term. read more

After looking through several companies and their sales pitch, I decided to go with Heliogold as they offer a superior Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) product compared to SunRun. Keith was our sales rep. I was very specific in what I was looking for and had a lot of questions about their PPA compared to a purchase and also how they compare to other companies. He was very knowledgeable,  straight forward and easy to communicate with. I also like that he was honest and there was no pressure in making the decision.  It took a couple weeks before I decided to proceed,  but I'm so glad I did! The process did take a few months as they were waiting on permits and approvals from the city. However, the installation crew was quick and efficient, and they even came back out to reinspect the electrical panel as they noticed that the electrical generation was incorrect. Everything was pretty smooth except there was a small autopay billing issue with SunPower. Emailing SunPower was a hit or miss as they do not always respond and calling always had a long wait time. I contacted Keith and he had Matt call me to follow up. Matt has been amazing at taking ownership of the situation.  He called SunPower directly to get the issue resolved on my behalf and continued to follow up with them to make sure everything is set up on my other propery that I've also installed SunPower panels on. Thank you Keith and Matt for your professionalism and great service! read more

I needed a new roof before I could install the Heliogold Solar panels on my roof and Jason at Heliogold turned me on to the best roofing company I have ever worked with. Vince and AVL at AVLroofing.com did a phenomenal job for me. Heliogold Solar also keeps me up to date on my permit and construction dates with an online dashboard so I know what is happening with my job. I have owned homes in Texas, Florida and Arizona and had all the roofs replaced. I have dealt with several roofing firms over the years but the entire AVL team was Top-Notch !! The demo crew was unbelievably proficient and kind, all of the guys were really trying to do what they could to keep the mess to a minimum and the removal of the old cement tile was done in a single day. Amazing ! But the real beauty was the finished job and this roof is the thickest, greatest looking roof I have ever seen. And again, Vince's install crew at AVL Roofing was a really efficient, effective, nice and hardworking bunch. They made the finished product a true picture of fine roofing and I couldn't be more happy with the results. Thanks again to Jason at Heliogold Solar San Diego for recommending AVL for my re-roof. Vince was true to his word, was great to work with, his crews were here when they were supposed to be here and completed the roof on time with no surprises. Such great results !!! Anyone that wants a quality roof and superior customer service should look up AVLroofing.com ... it is a local family owned business that really trust and you will too. With Jason at Heliogold Solar of San Diego, your solar needs will be taken care of from start to finish even if your roof needs work before they can get started. read more

Joshua Dickman was very responsive, answered all my questions, and didn't pressure. Because of my special circumstance of a recent addition to our home, I asked for multiple scenarios/quotes. He gave me all the figures that allowed me to analyze and pick the best option for our home. Solar has been in for 3 months and I'm not missing my electric bill at all. read more

Jason came out and looked over our house for solar, I have talked to lots of solar sales people and was expecting a sales pitch. He took a look at our roof and let me know we need to replace it before getting solar, and suggested we wait and get more use from it before replacing it. After the parade of solar sales people I talked to this week it was a relief to talk to someone actually knowledgeable and honest. These guys will get my business in a few years when we replace the roof for sure, and solar too after that. read more

Joshua was our guy! He was very knowledgeable with what he's doing and very approachable! He did a superb job with us! Will definitely refer him if there's any of my friends and neighbors that needs solar! Appreciate you man! read more

Thank you Heliogold Solar by SunPower and Jason who was so professional/knowledgeable and exactly what we needed to help us make one of the best decisions we've made for our 32 yr old home. Solar, roof and HVAC under one plan and with one company. We were always kept in the loop and informed each step of the process, which reaffirmed our confidence in going with Heliogold. We started saving money immediately, not to mention the huge Federal tax credit we received. If your thinking of Solar now is the time to do it while you can reap the benefits of the tax credit while they're offering it...no brainer!! "Go green and save some green$$" read more

Heliogold - Love our Solar design perfect for our home - Solar Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

As a complete solar newbie, I am so glad I found Heliogold! Jason & his team made it so simple for me to understand the process from start to finish. I was immediately drawn to how I could bundle everything under one plan with one company and loved how they could install directly from the manufacturer. To top it all off, I was going to start saving money immediately, score! I could not have asked for a better Solar experience all thanks to Heliogold! read more

Heliogold was great to work with. Daniel W was a true professional and communicated with us openly and honestly throughout the speedy process. I would 100% recommend the Heliogold team to anyone looking into getting Solar. Our project also included a new roof, and it came out great. Overall a great experience. read more

I worked a lot with Mick T. on options for solar on my home. He was very knowledgeable, patient, humorous, and a pleasure to work with. I had to put my project on hold to due circumstances totally unrelated to him or HelioGold. He was super pleasant and gave me no pressure to go on. If I do resume the project Mick T. will be the first person I contact. read more

Jason and his team took such good care of us I had to hop on and write my first Yelp review in Over a year!! He was super knowledgeable and responsive. We are more than pleased with our new sun power solar system. I was in shock when that electric bill came and it was $8 after running our AC day and night! We are so thankful to the Helio gold team!! read more

I've known and worked with Joshua Dickman for a long time as his photographer and videographer. I knew a lot of solar professionals (not being one myself), Joshua was the guy that I went to when I wanted to sell solar if people asked me about it. He has helped my best friend go solar and my uncle. In fact, my best friend told me that his only regret, was not going solar sooner. No joke. I don't see Joshua as regularly as a I used to, but still call him a friend. You can't go wrong with inviting Joshua and his team into your home. read more

First thing I have to say is... Abraham Malfavon was fantastic! He is the most down to earth sales person that I've met. The one thing that makes him stick out more than the average sales rep is that his true motivation is to help you out. He doesn't push you towards a certain solar panel. He respects your decisions and makes sure that he informs you of the pros and cons of what YOU want. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to the underlying technologies used for the several different solar panels they represent. He encourages you to do your own research too! Out of all the choices I had, I ended up going with Sunpower's latest 400W panels with microinverters (which leads to a very clean setup). I should mention that I was also a special case throughout this whole process where I also needed a complete re-roof. Abraham gave me a few references for that, but also encouraged me to look for my own. I ended up choosing one of the folks he referred me to, which I really appreciate because they were fantastic as well! The whole process for this took somewhere between 3-4 weeks... which is FAST! A lot of that speed comes from Abraham keeping things moving along smoothly. If you're looking into Heliogold for your solar needs, you can't go wrong with them, especially if you have Abraham as your guy :). read more

See all

Abraham is the best solar broker ever. I was a new home owner last year that was interested in solar. 2 other companies came before him and never came through. Left me hanging. This guy smoked them in service and coming through with our need for solar. Our bill was between $500 and $600 a month. We now pay a bit over $200 a month We love it! This guy follows up every other week with us. He is so personable and respectable. This is the guy you want to go have a beer with. Super cool. read more

We had long wanted to convert to solar, but were overwhelmed by the many options for renting versus owning panels. We were worried about the stories we had heard about companies closing and leaving customers in various states of completion. We also wanted to get in ahead of changes to the California Public Utilities Commission net energy metering. Fortunately, a friend of ours had worked with Malake, Heliogold, and SunPower Solar and referred us. I reached out to Malake, who got back to me within half an hour of my email. We were able to set up a zoom call for that weekend. Malake explained about the overall quality that SunPower expects of their solar panels, the standard for service and installation, and the ongoing support even after your system has been up and running. A technician was able to evaluate our house about a week later. All costs were clearly defined, and Malahe was able to arrange for fantastic financing. Because everyone else was trying to get in before the expiration of Net Metering 2.0, it took about another month, but for Malahe and SunPower did a great job of giving us a timeline and letting us know what to expect. We were able to our installation and get our solar turned on ahead of schedule and before the heat of the summer and its resulting electric bill could do any damage to our wallets. I highly recommend working with Malahe, Heliogold, and SunPower Solar. read more

Rebecca over at Heliogold was so sweet, smart and really took her time to educate me, answer all my questions and I felt no pressure at all. I had consulted with 3 other solar companies who could not do my roof type so I had little hope for Helio. But was pleasantly surprised when they had no issues and the installation went well. I have exposed beam ceiling so extra attention was taken to ensure it was done with no harm to them. I have had my system up and running since around May of this year and could not be happier with the fact that I have a flat low rate for clean energy every month. Do not hesitate to contact Helio and ask for Rebecca! read more

Hired Sunpower for our new Solar, Mick our sales gentleman was just that, a gentleman! Very professional, stayed in contact, honest and respectful. So far so good, saved 50% off our first SDGE bill. Very happy with the overall process read more

As someone who works in the Energy sector and is very familiar with Renewables, I highly recommend Heliogold. Jason & Quintenn are highly competent, trustworthy, hard working, and experts in their field. Additionally the SunPower equipment and technology they utilize are best-in-class. Lastly, the design, installation, and rebates was made easy by their excellent process/project management. You are in good hands with Heliogold. read more

After doing our research and getting multiple bids, we found that heliogold and Sunpower offers by far the best value when it comes to solar. We really liked how the whole system is warrantied by one company (Sunpower) and their panels degrade the least. Joshua did a great job explaining this and answering all of our questions. 10/10 recommend read more

I've been debating getting solar for a while now and finally decided to go through with it. I talked to a few different companies but Jason and his team just made it so easy. They answered every question (and I had a lot), were patient with me, and never made me feel rushed in my decision. They also always answered my calls and emails immediately--I didn't encounter that responsiveness from any other company. 5 stars! read more
