From the beginning, I was extremely clear that I would only proceed if the rebate covered the full project cost and that I would not pay any non-refundable deposit. Their representative repeatedly assured me in writing that there were "no upfront fees or deposit required" and agreed to prepare contingency language allowing me to cancel without penalty if the funding was insufficient. After months of follow-ups, delays, and waiting for management to finalize the paperwork, I was suddenly informed that the company had implemented a "new process" requiring a non-refundable $1,000 payment before they would process the application, engineering review, or other preliminary work.

Will update when I hear back. Would not recommend SolarMax at this point until they improve their customer service. Look into other companies and their service reviews since you will most likely have to contact them multiple times with questions about the system/billing. They were very prompt and quick with reaching out and getting back to us when they were trying to sell us solar. However, now that we have been customers for years and our sales rep left, it takes multiple calls to even get through to customer service and then multiple follow up calls after since they have to email other departments to get an answer and do not call back. It seems like they are short staffed and for a big company like this should invest in more staff for customer service. That way they can provide the same experience we received in the beginning. It's been almost a month after I initially contacted them and my question still has not been answered. Seems like there is only one customer service rep and she definitely needs help.

I have filed a complaint with the state Here is the FINE print "You will be billed for the estimated average monthly production for the first year.

At this point if the system has under produced Solar Manager will give you a credit on your account. If the system has over produced you will be charged for the over production. Solar Manager will also adjust your account to include that extra monthly production in the coming year." my bill that was $116 a month is now $136 a month, with another annual charge of what they state - "We also completed the annual true-up on your account. Over the past year, your system produced more energy than expected. Because of this overproduction, your account had a reconciliation balance of $183.95" Again WHAT? how am I saving?

"Too good to be true."…read more Literally that was my thought throughout my recent experience with UniverCity. I'd been stalled for a year with Tesla and was giving up hope I could get my solar expansion project in before the tax credits expire. I reached out to a few local contractors, and these guys came under every other bid. In design, they managed to fit more south-facing panels with limited roof real estate, compared to two previous designs I received. Every other contractor said any new panels would be incompatible with my existing system, which was a problem since I wanted the full capacity for the batteries I was adding. UniverCity said no problem. It ended up taking them three times as long to get the two systems talking to each other and they had to try two new panels before they could get it to work. But they didn't change the contract on me. There were some hiccups at the end getting through inspection. But they were fair, received my feedback, and got me to the finish line. David, Frank, Aaron - thank you. Just a terrific experience all round.

I do not normally leave negative reviews, but after nearly 10 years, I feel it is important to…read moreshare my experience. Before posting this review, I made every reasonable effort to resolve these issues directly with the company. I sent a formal letter over a year and a half ago outlining my concerns and requesting assistance, but I never received a response. More recently, I sent another detailed email, giving the company 14 days to respond with a plan to address these longstanding issues. That deadline has now passed, and once again, I received no response. This company installed my solar system in 2016. At the time of purchase, I was given expectations regarding the amount of energy the system would produce and the savings it would provide. Unfortunately, those expectations have never been met. In nearly ten years, my system has never produced the level of solar energy that was represented when I made this investment. As a result, I have spent thousands of dollars out of pocket on Southern California Edison bills that I reasonably expected my solar system would significantly reduce. Instead of receiving the savings I was promised, I have continued paying far more for electricity than I ever anticipated. What has been most disappointing is the lack of follow-through. The company has been aware of issues with my system for years, yet they remain unresolved. Despite numerous phone calls and emails over the years, I have received little to no communication, no meaningful updates, and no proactive effort to correct the ongoing problems. There were also issues from the very beginning. When my system was installed in 2016, I was never provided with the monitoring equipment that was supposed to come with it, nor was I informed that there was a monitoring app available. Without those tools, I had no way of monitoring my system's production or knowing that it was consistently underperforming. After years of phone calls and emails to the corporate office, I finally got someone to come out in 2023 to install the monitoring equipment that should have been installed from the beginning. It was only then that I learned there was an app that allowed me to monitor my system. During that same visit, the technician determined that my microinverters needed to be replaced. The replacement microinverters were shipped to my home, and the technician returned to pick them up for installation. However, the work was never completed. The technician left with the new equipment and never returned to finish the job. Despite additional attempts to follow up, I was once again left without answers or a resolution. I understand that mistakes happen and that every company occasionally encounters challenges. However, this is no longer a matter of a simple mistake or a temporary inconvenience. This has been an unresolved issue for nearly a decade. My goal has never been to leave a negative review. My goal has always been to have the solar system I paid for perform as it was represented and to have the company stand behind its product and installation. Unfortunately, after almost ten years, thousands of dollars in unexpected utility costs, years of unanswered phone calls and emails, an incomplete repair, and two formal written requests that went unanswered, I have been left with no meaningful communication and no resolution. I sincerely hope this review encourages the company to finally contact me, complete the repairs that should have been completed years ago, thoroughly evaluate my system, determine why it has consistently failed to meet the promised production, and stand behind the product they sold me. If the company reaches out with a genuine commitment to resolving these issues, I will gladly update this review to reflect that experience. I would much rather write about a company that ultimately made things right than one that chose not to.

I did not expect him to install my charger on the wall, but he did. I asked about 20 different electricians to install my EV charger and they were all charging me 1500+.

Solar Pool Services is a great company and both Paige and Bill are great people!…read more I originally hired Solar Pool Services, on 07/07/2023, to install a brand new customized solar pool heating system for a new pool build, and they were patient with me when I ran into problems with the pool contractor and they honored our original contract 16 months after they were originally scheduled to install our system. At the start of our project, Riverside County did not require a building permit for this kind of project, but by the time we were ready to move forward, we found that had changed. Paige worked with me to figure out what the county was going to require for the permits and we split the additional cost for permits and a civil engineer to verify the our roof would support the additional load. Our custom system consists of (5) 4'x10' panels, (7) 4'x12' panels, and the necessary plumbing and sensors which are connected to our pool automation system. The installation took one day and they even painted the pipes to match the stucco, eves, and roof tiles so they system doesn't stand out as an eyesore. After installation, they scheduled and passed the final inspection, without the need for repairs, corrections, reinspection(s), or added costs. I know from experience how hard it is to find and hire honest contractors and I am happy to vouch for these guys. As other reviewers have noted, they're speedy, honest, and reliable! Bottom line: If you're interested in a solar heating system for your pool, get in touch with Paige because the people at Solar Pool Services are absolute professionals!
