The solar system was installed successfully and everything is working as advertised. Enrique did a good job with the installation and the attic related wiring. read more

These guys are the real deal! I did a lot of research and got several quotes before deciding on Imperial Solar and I am so pleased that I chose them. They are very responsive and easy to work with. They paid great attention to my specific needs and timeline and designed a system that met my budget and energy needs perfectly. Installation was seamless with the techs showing great respect to me and my property. My system has been operational for a few months now and the output is already exceeding my expectations! My DWP bill is a small fraction of what it used to be and by summer I expect to have a net credit! Imperial solar delivered on what they promised in a timely manner and at a very reasonable cost. If you are considering solar, I would highly recommend them. read more

A few years ago, I contacted Imperial Solar for an evaluation. I was impressed with their customer service, communication, and reputation, but we were not ready to proceed with installation at that time. 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. read more

We recently had an unexpected issue with one of our solar panels and reached out to Imperial Solar for help. Brian from their team responded quickly and handled the issue from start to finish. He was able to get the system fully up and running again and was communicative throughout the entire process. When you go solar, it's easy to focus only on the initial installation and not think much about long-term support. I was really pleased to see that Imperial stood behind their work/product and helped ensure our system is still running well years after the initial purchase. read more

The team at Imperial Solar designed and installed our 36-panel solar array with Enphase electronics. Their service was prompt, professional, and clean. They even replaced one defective panel (not Imperial's fault) without issue. I highly recommend them. read more

I had my solar panels installed by Imperial Solar back in 2020, and I'm still extremely happy with Armond and his team years later. I almost went with Tesla Solar, but anyone who owns a Tesla knows how terrible and impersonal their customer service is -- especially when you have to handle everything through their app. Instead, I chose to support a local business with a strong reputation for excellent service, and Imperial Solar has far exceeded my expectations. While most reviews focus on the initial installation (which was excellent), what truly sets them apart is their unmatched ongoing support. Recently, I had some concerns about my system and reached out. They sent a technician out the very next day. He climbed up on my two-story roof and performed a complete inspection. It turned out there was no issue at all -- the system and their excellent workmanship were perfect. The fact that they responded so quickly and thoroughly, even when it was a non-issue, really shows how much they stand behind their customers. In an industry where many companies disappear after the sale, Imperial Solar has proven they're committed for the long haul. Their team is prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares. If you're looking for a solar company that delivers great installation plus exceptional long-term support, Imperial Solar is the real deal. Highly recommend! read more

I worked with Brian at Imperial Solar and was impressed with the quality of the work / service. I felt good about the pricing and the team followed up to make sure things were working optimally. I already am building credit with LADWP towards future bills and have enough solar power to cover my AC usage. Very happy and highly recommend if you're on the fence. Already paying off. Thank you! read more

I selected to go with Imperial Solar because my sister used them and was very happy with their work. She actually referred them to a friend who also used them and was happy. We were lucky, all we needed to do was upgrade our electric panel. Once the solar panels were in place, the electric company quickly approved the installation. I didn't buy a battery. The total cost was $30,000 we received a $9,000 tax credit, making the cost of the panels $21,000 for a 2,200 square foot home. Our electric bill which is monthly, last summer ranged from $500-$900. This summer we paid $150-$250. Yes, we still have an electric bill but at least it is affordable. I heard SCE will increase rates again by 19%. I am so happy we placed solar on the house and would highly recommend Imperial Solar. read more

My monthly electric bill is less than a week's cost of coffee! In Santa Clarita, I was used to an electric bill between $300-$450 during the summer months. I had solar installed in the winter and the results for my summer bill is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. June bill was $11, yep, that's it! July $13! I'm actually excited to see the August bill, normally something I'd dread. I received quotes for a couple local solar installation companies that included a new electrical panel. My house is over 50 years old and needing a new panel was what started this quest. Imperial Solar had a competitive cost and really good reviews. The quote had included a lot of additional information that was helpful in my decision. The team at Imperial Solar took care of all the local and county processes (permits, inspections) and gave a realistic time frame to complete. I am extremely satisfied with the process and my savings. I'd give ten stars if I could. read more

With energy prices on the rise and expected to spike, we took the plunge to finally add solar to our roof. Did a ton of research, and thankfully landed with Brian and the team at Imperial Solar. Their price was fair, but their service was impeccable. Brian kept us in the loop at every step, and their crew installed the panels on a tricky, high-sloped roof with ease. Our LADWP bill has been cut to practically zero (and that's with running the A/C a ton because of a new baby!). You won't go wrong with Imperial, so if you're in the market, definitely get a quote from them. read more

We highly recommend Imperial. They were great dealing with the city and making sure everything was up to spec. The install of the panels themselves was so fast - the team worked so efficiently. We're incredibly happy with the results and our minimal LADWP bills. read more

After researching and speaking with several solar companies for nearly six months, I chose Imperial Solar--and I'm very happy with my decision! I waited a full year to see how everything performed before writing this review, and I can confidently say the system has been completely problem-free. Armond and Brian were fantastic, providing clear communication and outstanding support throughout the entire process. The installation was smooth and professional. Highly recommend Imperial Solar to anyone considering going solar! read more

If you're looking for solar at a fair price and with good service, then give these guys a chance and get a quote from them... Had them install 27 panels on a newly renovated roof - process was smooth and they handled everything from permitting to PTO, with frequent updates. Pricing was good, middle of the pack I'd say, but what sold me were the reviews. This is not a fly by night business either, and they're on top of their stuff... good communication and no surprises. Production is good, I just need to figure out whether TOU is best for me as I'm with LADWP. Pro tip: when they install your system, ask them for a/ a cellular enabled controller (mine is WiFi only, which requires I'm at home to check my production) and b/ upgrade to measure how much you produce vs consume from your utility company... I didn't realize this thing existed and I wish I had done it then... Overall, definitely recommend imperial. read more

Imperial Solar installed our solar earlier this year. The process was surprisingly painless. They designed the product, installed it, handled the permits, and dealt with the City. I didn't have to do anything, other than pay them. As to that, I had priced solar years ago and was pleasantly surprised with the low quote I received from Imperial Solar. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking to install solar. Summer is quickly approaching and I am looking forward to being able to run the a/c without worrying about the usual astronomical bill from DWP! read more

We had Imperial Solar install the solar panels on our home. They gave us a very competitive rate, installed everything in a timely manner, and answered all our questions/concerns. They even painted the electrical conduits that they installed to match our outside wall color. Even after the ten months of completions from the project, Armond returned our phone call to answer our questions. We have recommended them to our friends of ours and will recommend them to anybody who's interested in installing solar panels. As a retired electrical contractor who worked 45 years in construction, I was very impressed by their work, especially after being hesitant for a long time. read more

We had our solar panels installed 2-1/2 years ago and have enjoyed seeing our electric bill cut to almost nothing. They carefully designed the system to meet our needs, and gave us a lower quote than others. We are very happy with our decision to use this company. read more

We hired Imperial Solar to install 42 solar panels on our roof in Woodland Hills. They gave us a very competitive price, which made it easy to move forward with them. We wanted to hire a local company and they do all their own install work, not sub it out like a lot of the larger companies do. Brian was very responsive and easy to work with. He answered all of our questions and did a great job explaining all of the options to us. They handled everything from our electrical panel upgrade, to the design and installation of the solar panels, as well as the permits and inspections. Everything went as smoothly as it could and it was an absolute pleasure working with them. read more

I reached out to several local and big solar companies for quotes before choosing this one, Imperial Solar was not pushy, very professional and prompt at responding to questions. I purchased 30 panels for my new home and Imperial Solar was very good about the whole process from obtaining the permits to inspection, etc. the installation only took 1 day and the crew was courteous. Thank youfor the professionalism! I'm glad I chose a reputable local company, it keeps the money in our community and employs our local workers! Also glad to have a local company to call if we ever have a problem with our panels (other big solar companies install then pretty much ghost you after ) read more

We had a solar installation completed in Burbank in May 2023. Imperial Solar did a very professional job with the quote, installation and a great price. They went above and beyond helping with the city building department being very slow with permits and permission to operate. Already saving a lot of money. read more

Wow, Wow, Wow, and Thanks! These are the words and feelings after Imperial Solar installed 25 Panasonic HIT 330 panels. After 5 other estimates, Imperial Solar clearly set itself apart in all areas. Pricing was significantly better than the other companies. Communication and customer were top notch. Other companies will say that you can't put a price on excellent customer service, which is probably why they charge a lot more $$$. Armond is fantastic. He will create a system catered to your needs and requests and he addresses all questions. Our solar system took a couple months due to slow permitting from the city. Now we can conveniently charge the EVs at home and not worry about absurd Edison bills. We made sure to take advantage of the 30% federal rebate before it drops at the end of the year. When you do your homework and research, you'll see that Imperial Solar is in a class of its own. Thanks again Armond and Imperial Solar! read more

Gladly writing a review about our experience with Imperial Solar. These guys are honest and trustworthy. We were in the need a 200A main electrical panel upgrades to accommodate a 43-panel solar system. Imperial Solar gave us the best deal for our money and did a fantastic job with the installation of the electrical panel and the solar system. More importantly, we had no setbacks and our system was installed and turned on just in two months. Brian our agent was super informative and honest. He knew exactly what we would need. We met a few other companies throughout our search, but none came close to dealing Imperial Solar. Our foreman (David) was very polite and professional and even removed the broken dish antenna from our roof. I have NOTHING but good things say about my experience with all the staff at Imperial Solar. We are wholeheartedly recommending them to all readers looking to get solar. You will like this company! coming from one homeowner to another. read more

It all started when a Solar company knocked on my door. I wasn't looking to go solar but was in a good mood so I chatted with the rep. Over the course of a month we talked and I got interested as I'm now retired and was looking for ways to cut our variable costs. Being a retired Engineer, I started to take a deep dive into solar power, pros and cons. I learned that this door-to-door company was way to expensive as they wanted to lease the panels and have me pay for 25 years and raise the rate by 2% each year. So they offered me to eliminate the escalation clause, the 2%, but what I learned was that it was still too expensive. So, I did what a good engineer would do and made a spreadsheet. It had all their numbers in it for the 25yr lease. I then did a deep dive into our LADWP historical rates back to 2015. I learned that LADWP raised their rates an average of 6% per year! I then created a spreadsheet with what the current rates were for Tiers 1-3 and projected it out 25 years at a 5% increase each year to be conservative. The numbers were frightening! At this point I wanted to really consider solar. I went to Yelp and scanned for a local, reputable solar company and found Imperial Solar had a 5-star rating and glowing reviews. I'm leaving out names at their request as Yelp takes issue with names. I called Imperial and talked with a real Mechanical Engineer. He went over everything and sent me links to all the solar equipment they use. The panels and inverters and combiners were top notch equipment. He recommended 28 panels based upon my stated requirements of 20,000 kwh/year. In the end I added two additional panels as I wanted to use my HVAC more than I had in the past and wanted to exceed 2020 power usage as 2020 was extremely hot at my location. After being convinced that Imperial was the best choice (I had quotes from others) we set the plan in motion. The process took about 2.5 months as you need to get approvals from LADWP and LACITY before turning on the system. Imperial installed the 30 panels in two days with 30 micro-inverters and a single Combiner box... a very clean installation. Their crew was professional, polite, and clean. As an engineer I watched the installation on my brand new roof very carefully, I was impressed with the materials they used and their installation methods. On May 19th 2022 I was able to switch on the Solar Breaker after receiving the PTO (permission to operate) from LADWP. Now, here's the actual benefit I'm getting comparing 2020-2022. My billing period starts mid month and ends 2 months later mid month. 2020 May-July $847 2021 $737 2022 $25 2020 July-Sept $1339 2021 $977 2022 $107 We have a 2400 sq/ft single story home and it was over 100 degrees for about 2 weeks straight in Aug-Sept. We ran our A/C at 78 degrees. The $107 is really about $70 as the LADWP is charging me a Tier-3 Connection fee as they look back 1 year and if you hit Tier-3 anytime during that year you will pay the higher connection fee for the next year. This will be reset lower after October this year per LADWP. As you can see, having solar will pay off BIG time. Imperial Solar sells the systems outright, they don't play the rip-off leasing game. The Door-to-Door guy wanted $72,500 over the 25yr lease and I bought my 30 panel system for $30,530. I estimate I will save around $125,000 over the next 25 years due to the historical rate hikes by the LADWP. Imperial Solar is very professional, very responsive, and do exactly what your contract states. They use top of the line panels made in Germany and Inverters/Combiners from the best supplier. They are an easy 5-Star company. The mobile and WEB based software is AWESOME and let's you track exactly how your system is performing by Day, Week, Month, Year, Lifetime! read more

Great Company Highly Recommended. I worked with the Imperial Solar Team and the process was smooth and headache free. My system is working great! Also they have great customer service. A++++ read more

After getting quotes from many different companies, we used Imperial Solar. Their pricing was pretty good but they were much more honest and transparent. They did an amazing job installing and dealing with all of the issues that came up throughout the job (permits etc). I highly recommend them! read more

From the first phone call the representative was so informative and answered any and all my questions. The best customer service I have ever experienced. If I called or emailed I had immediate response. They do not try and over sale you..if you don't need it they will tell you. The crew that did our solar installation were professional and if we had a question never acted as if we were interfering. They handled everything from install up until LADWP came for inspection. I might add any wall removal due to electrical work they repaired and wouldn't know it was ever touched. I searched and spoke to several solar companies and by far the best value and nicest people you could deal with. read more

After an issue with their call center the owner called me personally and took care of everything. They care about their customers and really do try to make sure that the customer is happy.

Getting solar is a big decision, with a lot of different options in regards to both the components and your installer. We spent a lot of time interviewing solar installers and ended up going with Imperial Solar because of Armond and Chris. They were so incredibly helpful and professional, making the design process easy and installation seamless. Prior to even deciding to go with Imperial Armond and Chris spent a significant amount of time with me understanding my goals for the system, potential design and components. We ended up installing a fairly large 59 panel system, which had to be done over 3 separate roofs that required very long runs, I was so impressed with how quickly they were able to install the system and how much care they put in to making sure everything was done perfectly. I could not be happier with my choice in Imperial Solar, they were incredible and I highly recommend them!! read more

Imperial was incredibly helpful from the beginning. They explained all the steps, the technology and also added that the process would be long (2 months). They were always ahead of schedule and always called to give updates. Solar has been amazing in this heat! I can track all my panels and how much they are generating and use AC without guilt for my wallet or the environment. If you're thinking about getting solar do it, and do it with Imperial! Just be warned that the city of LA is super slow in approvals and drags the entire process. read more

They installed our solar a couple years ago and everything is still great! I can't tell you how many solar companies I interviewed, including the company that Costco outsources to. Costco was twice the cost for the exact same system. I was definitely comparing apples to apples. Imperial was the best value by far. The process was uneventful which is exactly what you want. I've recommended them to neighbors and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to install a system. read more

No need to look any further, I have done all the homework for you. Here is why you will choose them over everyone else. -Best solar panels (German, best production of power with minimal degradation over 20 years) -Insanely quick turnaround -No high pressure sales, Charles my advisor not only walked me thorough it, he designed my system. -Best warranty -Best Price, thousands cheaper then anyone else and I got more panels(30) -Best customer service Bottom line, my bill went from an average of $350+ a month to nearly zero. Charles, my advisor was great and strictly business. What else do you want? read more

Doing any kind of big project in and one your home is stressful. Getting solar installed is a big decision. It's costly and is not a small decision. I've had an easier time buying a car than making the decision to invest in solar, which is crazy because solar pays back and a car doesn't. Anyway, I had been looking around for a long time. I've spoken to many solar companies, including the door to door salesman that would show up at my door from time to time. I would always do the initial inquiry and then leave it behind because it was just too much to deal with. Every year my electric bill would go up and LADWP would increase their rates, and after so many of my friends raved about how much of a difference solar made on their bills I decided to give it one last push and just go for it. It was by chance that I ran into Imperial Solar, and after reading their reviews I decided to give them a call. I spoke with the design team and they were all very extremely well spoken, informative, and just seemed very genuine. I still wanted to call around for some other quotes so I told them that I would get back to him. Imperial ended up being slightly more expensive but I felt so much more comfortable with them. The price difference was definitely justified and well worth it. I didn't feel comfortable or confident with the other companies I spoke with. I called back Imperial and spoke with them again, and this went on for 2-3 weeks because I just couldn't make up my mind. When I did finally decide to just go with it, everything went so fast. 07/09 - Sent a message through yelp for a quote. Spoke with them the next day and received a quote within two days after that. 07/13 - September - a series of phone calls requesting information, me asking questions, taking time to think, etc. 09/09 - signed contract 09/14 - site survey 10/11 - solar install 10/26 - city inspection 11/14 - permission to turn on From signing to turning on the solar it took two months. I know it might not be the same for everyone, but this was my experience. I expected it to take much longer. I will mention that in between those dates there wasn't much of anything for me to do. Imperial took care of everything that needed to be done with the city and with LADWP. I did nothing. It was exactly what I was looking for in a company. I'm so grateful for these guys. I would have no problem referring them to my friends and family. read more

My husband and I had been considering having solar installed at our home for years now. We probably should have pulled the trigger a lot earlier, but it's always just been such a daunting task to get the ball rolling. There are so many companies and so many options. It's a fairly new concept (if you're comparing to electric), so knowing the right questions to ask and doing the research was overwhelming to say the least. When we were regularly getting electric bills from LADWP for $900+ per billing cycle, we finally had had enough and started calling around. I spoke with two other solar companies, received quotes, and just as I was about to sign up I decided to research the companies a little bit more and see what people were saying about them. I'm glad I did because I almost signed up with a company that had SUCH poor customer experiences. I decided to look around more and found Imperial. I decided to call and ask some questions and the interaction ended up being so different from the previous two. I spoke with the design team and they were incredibly patient, so kind, very clear and informative, and not pushy at all. They were more than happy to give me a little bit of time to make my decision, and spent a few phone calls making sure I had no questions left before I signed the contract. I expected the entire process to take a few months, but I was so pleasantly surprised at how efficient everything was. We're still waiting to see how much of a difference the panels make as we haven't closed on a billing cycle yet. It is winter and the days are shorter, so I don't really expect to see the full effects of the panels until daylight savings is over. I'll update my review once I see the results. But as far as the experience, it's probably one of the best interactions and experiences I've had with any installation or work done on our house. Highly recommended! read more

I'm so glad we choose Imperial to install our solar. Beside their price and quality of work is great, their customer service is also excellent. We have issues with LADWP when we try to get approval, they been giving us hard time and different answers depends who you talk to. Team members from imperial solar constantly help us follow up and work thru the way to get LADWP approval and we finally able to do so after four months long process. Imperial solar is not the company that just finish the installation and take your money then never care. They ensured everything work well and provided you all the necessary information you needed afterwards. I'm very happily with imperial solar read more

We also went through many contractors. We thought we wanted to switch from a gas furnace/cooling system to electric. But the Steve at Imperial Solar came out to go through everything, plus answer all of our concerns, as well as he went through the whole process, proving to us that an electric heat/cooling is not the best way to go -considering we were doing solar. it would have drained so much of our solar production. Our utility bills have been 90% less than what they were last year. Also, I didn't mention that last year to keep the power bill as low as possible, we set our thermostat at 78 degrees, but now after installing the solar system, we are much more comfortable at 68 degrees. Just about everyone we spoke with from the office staff who did the scheduling, to management and on to the service professionals were just great to work with. All business and steady work till everything were completed and cleaned up. Its hard to imagine that from the time we started looking to now that's two months later, and we have a whole new powerful system that exceeds our expectations in every way. I have attached the production graf from my Enphase Envoy. Just love how well our solar system is producing and we owe it to Imperial Solar. read more

Imperial Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Legit and local solar company because let's face it, it's not easy keeping a business up and running these days with kosher methods. Imperial has been around for ages and isn't going away due to the hardworking people they employ and seems like they're always looking out for their customers. The whole process was relatively painless and they can handle anything. Sure they can be a little more communicative but almost all contractors can improve in that area. But otherwise they're a joy to work with. Quick process from start to finish (city held things up not surprisingly). Hopefully this review will help others out! read more

It's fairly obvious the reviews speak for themselves. Imperial Solar, Armand, Charles, made the whole process very easy. They listened to what I was looking for, and put together a proposal with estimated output as well as all prices and rebates clearly identified. I received bids from 3 companies, and Imperial was clearly offering me the most panels for the best price. They answered any and all questions that I had throughout. The installation was done amongst the pandemic with huge delays on supplies, but the team was able to get everything done in a reasonable amount of time. My system is working well beyond what I had ever imagined. I am overproducing and through 4 months have not paid $1 to SCE. They met my expectations and I couldn't be happier! read more

I wanted to give a shout out to Charles and Armond and the team for their informative and courteous approach to their customers. Ultimately we decided to proceed with another company based on price, but I would have been very confident and comfortable with the products and workmanship offered by the folks at Imperial. These guys deserve serious consideration if you are in the market for solar. read more

Ever since I have installed a pool at my house our electricity rates have skyrocketed. We went from paying $250/month to over $600. I decided to install solar to offset these ridiculous costs. I like supporting local family owned businesses in the valley and have read some of Imperial Solar's great reviews online and seen some of their commercials, so I thought I'd give them a call for a quote. I was very happy with the super competitive price I had gotten for an 11.7 kW system with Panasonic HIT 330W panels. Rachel was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Our solar system was maliciously and professionally designed and installed. The service provided along the way and the constant updates were nothing less than outstanding. To top if off our system is outperforming the predicted generation. All of our paperwork, rebates processing, permitting, inspections..etc. was taken care of. Imperial Solar most definitely exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them for all your solar and electrical needs. Many thanks to Armond and his A-Team. read more

We met with the Imperial Solar's team a few month ago at a trade show. They know their product and are very passionate about it! We knew we had to go solar, but Armond one of the executives gave us a peace of mind to move forward with the project. Throughout the process of leading up to, during and after the installation of the solar system stayed in contact with us. We were originally scheduled to be installed three months after we signed up but he kept in contact with the city and got done in two months. I had many questions along the way such as dealing with our electrical panel upgrade. He always responded immediately and has been nothing less than amazing. The company is very organized and every person I've spoken to has been courteous and professional. I've received multiple email updates and was always kept in the loop. The installation went seamlessly. The crew arrived on time, finished promptly and cleaned up after themselves before they left. I can't say enough about how considerate and professional they are. We got the permission to operate and are eager to get our first solar bill. read more
