Meeting the Dec. 31 deadline for tax credit was of utmost importance to us, and despite it adding a…read morelot of anxiety to this project, California Solar and Electric came through with their promise to get it done, and with time to spare. Their quote, plus their high reviews made them the logical choice, and we have no regrets. From the person who did the site inspection, Jose, to the installers, everyone seemed very friendly, respectful of our property/wishes, and it was clear they were experienced and knew what they were doing. Being up against a deadline, we really couldn't afford to fail the city inspection, and we passed easily. Thanks to the salesman Mark Howe for his direction, & to Henry Melling for a great design and implementation. We were not excited at the idea of having all that stuff on the side of our house, but honestly, the installation was so neatly done, with a few plants added over there, I'm sure we can acclimate. The battery placement in the garage was genius -- up and out of our way! Everything is functioning as it should, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend California Solar & Electric. THANKS to them for a job well done, and ON TIME!! We couldn't be happier.

Tim (AWS) said they reviewed my solar system and confirmed the production shortfall, and they would…read morecompensate for the shortfall even though it is beyond the warranty. They suggest regular cleaning will help keep performance on track. I am still skeptical, but I will do this and keep track of the system production monthly to see whether or not it's going to meet the guaranteed minimum production. I truly hope my solar system would performed as they claimed; I would be happy just to get the guaranteed minimum production. I updated my rating back to 5 Stars based on their cooperation in addressing the issues reasonably fair.

A few years ago, I contacted Imperial Solar for an evaluation. I was impressed with their customer…read moreservice, 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.

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.

Tesla referred us to Home Upgrade Specialist for our solar and Powerwall 3 install, and they were…read moregreat from start to finish. They took care of all the Burbank permitting, kept us updated, and delivered on schedule. The whole team -- estimator, project manager, installers, and even the president -- was friendly, responsive, and professional. The install was neatly done to blend in with house decor. Their price was reasonable and the value unbeatable. Solar adds about 4% to your home's value, so it justifies itself right away -- even if you sold your house next month! The Powerwall 3 works perfectly and gives us backup peace of mind during outages. Five stars. Highly recommended.

Very disappointing experience. I had an appointment for an estimate for solar on September 12th…read morewhere I specifically told them that I have to leave by noon, so they must be there by 10. They assured me this will be the case. Come the day, they called me at 9.45 to confirm the appointment, I did remind them that they have to be here by 10.30 - I was reassured this will be the case. Rep came at 11.20, I could only meet him for around 40mins. He requested that I send him the plans for measurements because he didn't have time to measure due to the fact that I had to leave (although it wasn't attempted in the 40mins he was here). He told me someone from the office will be in touch via email so that I can email the plans. Okay. Come Monday - nothing Come Tuesday - nothing, so called them. They assured me that someone will call me back Come Wednesday - nothing Come Thursday - I called again. Eventually the rep called me saying he was waiting for the plans. I reminded him that he didn't give me an email to send them to and I'm still waiting. He said he will call me back, I asked him for the email but he kept saying he doesn't know it (kinda weird). He called me back eventually, gave me an email, I sent the plan immediately and requested a quote by end of day. Nothing Come Friday - nothing Come Monday - again nothing. I texted the rep - he never responded. I did have to listen to a speech on how they are a recommended provider for Tesla and how "that should say enough", yet can't communicate efficiently. Very disappointing because I lost two weeks that may cost me the ability to get the tax credit.

Following the installation were days of heavy rains and it was good to learn that i did not experience any roof leaks. This is a no BS, no nonsence solar company providing fair prices and quality service. I highly recommend this company for your solar needs.

Update for my review with OC - Savannah from customer service reached out regarding my experience…read moreand expressed regret over how things went and changes were actively happening at the company. She offered a free panel cleaning, which she set up internally and had their team come out this past Friday without issue. Since the cleaning the panels have been much better performing especially after these past few weeks of misting and rain, about 25% higher output. I didn't think much of it but I get now it's worth doing to get the most out of the panels. Overall a very good response and experience with OC specifically for this issue. I feel that they do want to stand out from the crowd and responding proactively to feedback gives me more confidence they'll take care of issues as they hear about them.

Mark did research, crunched numbers, reviewed my utility bills, my contract with Sunrun, and the fine print of my electrical deal with LADWP, and even stayed on facetime with me while we looked at my solar panels. He really took the time and energy to figure out what my actual system was, and what my needs were, and what would actually work for me. Few people in any industry have taken the time, energy, care, and provided me with the respect and given me the wisdom that Mark Davis shared with me. I cannot recommend him and Mother Nature Solar more enthusiastically. You will be delighted. I interviewed eight different solar companies - no one even comes close.

From the owner: Go to Yelp Santa Rosa Mother Nature Solar for more reviews. The best materials at the lowest prices…read morewith the longest warranties. We're one of the oldest solar installers in California, since 2011. REC solar panels, Enphase inverters and batteries, Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries. The utilities will NOT let you get rid of your entire electric bill with a solar PV system. They will buy back your unused solar for 8 cents a kwh, but on the solar billing rate that they put you on, they raise the rates you buy from them! So, essentially, they get your unused solar production for free. We've calculated the bottom line of who gets what from your solar production from PGE at 52% solar used at your home, 48% solar the utility gets for free. Utilities are crooks. So, in order to reduce your bill to the minimum grid charge of $20-$30, you'll need to get a battery or two. The payback on solar PV is generally 4.5 years for a medium sized system, so it's still a great deal, even though you only reduce 52% or so of your bill. Payback on solar PV + batteries is anywhere from 4.8 to 5.5 years. The Tesla Powerwall 3 plus PV systems are by far the best value and the best looking, as there are only 2 components to add, as the Enphase systems are 6 to nine components on your wall and take up a large amount of wall space. Besides our low prices, we have group discounts too. $.05 per watt off for two installs $.10 per watt off for three or more installs for each customer.

If you go with this company, 100% ask for Mason to be your sales rep. Avoid Eddie at all costs as he won't respond to you after you sign your agreement...Because of this, Management actually switched my contact person to Mason, and I am forever grateful for that. Mason is attentive and he was the best with responding to questions and concerns. And when I had concerns about delays in my project, I would email him and it would be fixed right away. The solar industry is one where many people have a lot of questions, uncertainty in effectiveness, and aren't sure if it's right for them. And people in general don't trust solar companies and sales people. It takes time to complete a solar project from contract to actually generating electricity for the home. For me, I decided to go with solar because the 30% tax credit was ending (and now that I actually see results, it's worth it even without the tax credit). However, since I was in a tight window to get everything completed before December 31st, I was very nervous as to if the project would be done on time. if it wasn't for my persistence, and for Mason's help, I don't think it would have been done Before December 31st and I would have been very upset and lost out on the tax credit. So again, GO WITH MASON at Solar Optimum, you won't regret it. If I get another home, I will 100% use this company again, and would 100% ONLY work with Mason. I also added a picture to show how much solar has been generating for me in just over a week in the middle of December (the worst for sunlight). It's right at optimal generation for this time of year and look forward to no more electric bills.

A lot of time passed by without hearing back. Then I was told the solar panels that I had agreed to are no longer available. They replaced them with cheaper options. Later on, they said the replacements were no longer available and switched them again to a cheaper option. I received an email on 10/28/25 saying the solar panels are ready for installation. Then I didn't receive an update until 12/10/25 asking for information that I had already confirmed via phone call, the clearance from solar panels as well as the panels being permitted. Then I received an email on 12/23/25 asking for this confirmation again. I sent a follow up, and did not hear back from Eddie until 12/27/25. He gave me a call and told me that Solar Optimum is unable to complete the installation by the end of the year, making me ineligible for the tax credit. He suggested claiming the system was installed/invoiced in my taxes, which is tax fraud as the tax credit makes it explicitly clear that it needs to be installed and powered by 12/31/25. On Dec 30th, he said he would update me within 2 weeks. 2 weeks elapsed and no update was given. At the end of my experience with Solar Optimum, I was took a loan that was no longer needed which ran my credit which has negative implications for my credit score. I also missed out on thousands in tax credit as well as future long term savings. There was misrepresentation regarding what the company had to offer and so far the company has not offered any option to rectify the situation. Will never do business with this company and strongly advise against using their services. The only option remaining is if they are able to discount the panels by the amount of tax credit I have missed out on, which will be my desired resolution requested.
