Nippon (Linda) took the lead on my project, which was in a quagmire after the previous solar company had declared bankruptcy and left my system inactive. Nippon came in, took charge in replacing bad wiring, worked with the County and SCE for drawing, engineering, and inspection approvals, and even added in a Powerwall -- all for a VERY reasonable price. Linda is amazing. read more

Can't get these guys to even come out and look at the problem without $500. Sounds like a scam operation, and there are A lot in this world

Giving a 5-star review is the least I could do after not going with Nippon for a solar system. Linda provided some of the best customer service I've experienced ever. She helped educate me, didn't try to oversell or pressure me into a decision. She was easy to reach, knowledgeable of all my detailed questions. I was able to do better research after being more informed and what they offer is very good. Linda ended up helping identify a permitting issue with our home that would have opened up a nightmare can of worms and it was best that we not get solar at all. Thank you Linda for your help and honesty read more

Great company and no regrets here. I would recommend them to friends and family. They always answered calls or returned them fast.

Hello there Linda helped me out in the process and she was really helpful and always picks up your phone even after the contract was signed. ( most contractors will stop picking up your phone after signing the contract ) . Linda was always professional and I hate to say I even bug her on weekends and she always gets back to me and pick up my phone to answer. Everything went smooth after contacts they got me in like 23 days. Boss naveen was also a lot of help there was couple of issues in the installation and he solved them in a quick and effective way. If you looking to get solar look no further go with nippon read more

See all

I was reluctant to get solar as I've heard so much negativity from others. But I did my own homework and had them come out. Spoke to Navin multiple times and stayed in constant contact via email. You have choices in financing; low interest over 25 years, but you'll pay points to get it. If you can pay it off sooner, get the higher interest; if you can afford to buy it outright, even better. I was spending anywhere from $115-$350 a month on electric (depending on season), my last two bills (September & October) was $43 and $0 (other then the Edison fees; about $12 a month) I highly recommend Navin and Nippon energy if you're considering going Solar. read more

Look I am not much into reviews. But big solar company. Take full advantage of people. Quotes that are double and triple expensive. Nippon offer was down to earth. The first time. I am very satisfied with my quote, the install on my roof. And the help with activating and paperwork thru SCE. Thanks! read more

Nippon energy is an awesome company. After deciding we wanted solar on our house, my wife and I started comparing different solar companies. We initially considered going with Sunrun through Costco, but after receiving a rather expensive quote and reading the bad reviews, we reconsidered. We decided to check out more of the local competition and that's when we found Nippon Energy. Navin contacted us from Nippon Energy and walked us through the whole process while answering any concerns we had. He didn't try to upsell us on anything and he was upfront and honest about whether a battery was useful to us. He explained all of the different system options available and carefully broke down all our costs. When they showed up to install the system, the workers were professional, friendly, and happy to help. Jose, the foreman, was very polite and introduced himself to me the first day. He answered any concerns I had as the process progressed and checked in from time to time to make sure I was happy with the work. Do yourself a favor and go with Nippon Energy if you plan to install solar. Their customer service, financing, and work is all top-notch. You won't regret the decision and you're going to absolutely love the solar! read more

Thus far a good experience. Linda is very helpful and proactive. Pricing was good (much better than Sunrun) and they helped with getting a re-roof at a reasonable price before the panels were installed. Naveen was also able to quickly work out a couple of issues post-installation in dealing with permitting issues that arose. read more

Nippon Engery completed a clean installation. They were very communicative, answered all my questions, got me the best financing deal, and my system is producing the energy for my needs. For the first summer, I've set the thermostat and forget it. Will be returning to them for electric car charging and the battery bank to work during blackouts for my home. Very happy read more

I received excellent customer service and all of my questions were answered. A quote for solar was received in a timely manner and I was offered different options. read more

Our solar inverter quit working. Called the that has our contract and they said they will no longer honor that contract. Contacted the lady we bought the system from, Ms Linda Quest. She now works for Nippon Energy. She took time from her busy schedule to help us out. Our system is now working properly. Thank you Linda. read more

The solar system I purchased from another company had stopped working. The company I had purchased from has moved out of state, and refuses to help. I called the lady who sold us the system, Linda Quest, who now works for Nippon Energy. She came out and troubleshoot the system and got it working. Thank you Nippon Energy for helping us!!! read more

Linda was so great with us when purchasing our solar. She was very informative and patient with us. I love the results of our solar and I am so glad I went with nippon energy after having a bad experience with another local solar company. Definitely see why they have such good reviews! Thank you to everyone here at nippon. read more

They installed our system in October 2016. I waited a while to do this review because I wanted to see their AFTER we've paid the bill service. We were not disappointed. They were not the cheapest bid. I interviewed 17 potential vendors. Yes seventeen. The California Residential Solar Market is a little like The Old Wild West. Too many players doing too many "deals" most of them don't benefit YOU in the long run. SHAWN WILL EXPLAIN SOLAR IN A WAY YOU CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. Nippon Energy and Shawn Munden follow the philosophy that they are here to do the best they can for the customer. One of the reasons they do this is their word of mouth recommendations are most of their advertising. It's tough out there. If you've been confused by what's out there and things you've heard. You can trust this company and Shawn Just as a footnote: PUTTING SOLAR ON MY HOUSE WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS WE HAVE DONE IN 20 YEARS. We just bought a Chevy Volt. Because of the solar system, it costs us NOTHING to charge it. I will update this review every few months. Please check back. read more

WOW!!! The most honest sales guy I have ever spoke with, Shawn. He explained EVERYTHING in real talk about solar to me and was not trying to push... I would recommend this guy to all of my friends that want to know what's best for them.... THANK YOU read more

I have been having issues finding the right solar company, from a quote to another with ridiculous pricing until I stumbled on Nippon energy. This guys are helpful, professional and sincere to help people achieving a cheaper or no electric bill. They showed up on time and got the job done without damage to the house, they cleaned up and the invoice has been submitted correctly without any crazy surprises that you will run to if you decide to get solar. Bottom line if you are looking for a pro, courteous, punctual and upfront about everything type company, contact Nippon Energy! read more

I can not say enough good things about this company. I had a bad install from one of the biggest companies out there with the best equipment installed. There was problems from the beging. After 7 months of going back and forth, Nippon Energy came out as a 3rd party to review everything and found not only terrible workmanship on the install I have, but also made a call to the inverter manufacture to make sure the product was installed correctly or not. Unfortunately, it was not installed correctly by the "bigger" company. One call and Nippon was out there. Linda was the most polite and informative person ever. read more

I am very pleased with Nippon Energy for my solar needs. Although the process had a few issues with the permit process, the utility company, and the inspector, none of the issues were due to the solar company. Navin is great! He responds promptly, even during the evening hours. Our rooftop solar was installed in May of 2016, but being skeptical, after reading some of the horror stories about what is called "true-up" time with the Electric Company, I wanted to wait a full year to see what the full year's bill would be (called the true-up bill). I was quite pleased to pay $73.65 for a full year with SDG&E, which is basically the minimum charge less the California climate credit. I produced 96.5% of my electricity usage for the year, which is more than acceptable given all the rain and cloudy days that we experienced during the 2016-2017 rain season. I actually increased my electricity consumption by about 10% from the previous year, and still paid the SDG&E minimum. I have a 4.76 KW system (4.00 KW AC) of American made panels, using American made micro-inverters with approximately half the panels facing E/SE, and the other half W/NW. Production can be monitored via a mobile app, and is normally within 30 minutes of real-time. As mentioned above, Navin is great to work with, and he is very knowledgeable about the product, and the variety of panels that are available for use. He works hard to avoid possible surprise charges that may come from some of the larger solar companies. Also, Nippon Energy's pricing is very competitive, and they move quickly through the engineering and permit process. The installation process was prompt and clean. It's been over a year, and Navin still responds to general questions, usually same day, even during the evening. Solar is a large investment, and so it is important to ask questions. Ask about the type of solar panels that will be installed. Ask about the power inverters, necessary to convert the solar DC power to usable AC electricity. Ask about battery back-up. Ask about leasing versus owning solar panels. Ask about financing. Ask about how the tax credit will help you. Ask how long the process takes. Ask about how solar works with your local utility company. The electricity rate structure tariffs are undergoing quite a change, and so it's important to ask for recommendations to ensure that you are maximizing your investment. In short, going solar is a decision not to be taken lightly, but so far I am happy with my decision. Yet, do your homework, and obtain at least 3-4 estimates. In any regards, do not sign with any other company without giving Nippon Energy a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

For all things solar Shawn Munden is your guy. I cant say enough abou the integrity of this company. They NEVER try to upsell you like others do. Even after the sale Shawn has continued to help our family with questions. I wouldn't trust anyone else read more

Nippon Energy is one of the most efficient & reliable solar panel installers in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. They even provided a 10 year warranty with our home soalr panel installation. I would highly recommend Nippon Energy to people looking for affordable home solar power systems. read more

Seriously, i cant express how extremely happy i am with not only my new roof and solar panels but with the professionalism of my Rep. Shawn. Not only did he and his company meet all my expectations but they exceeded them (and im a very picky person and hard to please). They are absolutly a no B.S company and my rep explained everything to me with no hesitation, no hidden info, and answered our calls/or got back to us almost immediatly. He was extremely patient with me as well and was very nice when he had to explain things more than once to me lol. We were not once left out of the loop and always knew what was going on. I most defiantly recommend Nippon Energy. And very appreciative of the service theyve provided us with! I cant thank them enough!!! read more

We had solar panels installed by the staff of Nippon Energy in March, and it has been smooth so far. We do however have to wait for the reflected (post-installation) changes in our bill to come, as with all installations. So we will see how well it works for us when that comes. Before we hired Nippon Energy, we researched solar panel providers in the valley over a span of a couple of years. After talking with neighbors (who have solar panels) reading about services provided by solar panel providers, and then meeting with sales representatives, we were still not sure. The information they provided appeared inconsistent with the product description. Then we learned about Nippon Energy through a relative in SoCal, and we proceeded to talk with their director. Here is a little bit about our experience: *The director was very prompt to answer any questions we had pre- installation, during-installation and post-installation. He was always available to talk, and he clearly explained the process and features of the product to us. *The solar technicians installed our panels in 4 days. They were a staff of 3 technicians with one manager. They were punctual to arrive (9 am) and to leave (3 pm), and they spoke fluent English. My neighbor was impressed, because the solar company she hired, had spent a few weeks doing the same range of work. I highly recommend Nippon Energy to residents in the valley who are seriously looking to get solar panels installed. read more

These guys are awesome and really know what they are doing! I didn't know much about solar installation but these guys explained me everything in detail and guided me through the whole process! Their prices are also great, something that everyone can afford. I am really happy with their work and highly recommends Nippon Energy to anyone who wants to install solar unit in their house or business complex! read more

I had a great experience with Nippon energy. They were on top of the project from beginning to the end. Excellent customer service and professional team. I highly recommend Nippon energy for installing solar panels. read more

Navin and his crew at Nippon Energy were outstanding with our solar panel installation. Navin's quote was great and he followed up by tailoring our installation to our needs. He did not badger us with deciding to go with him, and I appreciated that. I did a lot of research in making the decision and I landed with Nippon based on their prices and their other great reviews. We ended up having a slightly more complicated installation and needed to retrofit our roof due to our existing metal tiles. We also needed a new electrical panel. Navin's crew did a great job with the electrical and he was very communicative through the whole process. He personally dealt with City of Pasadena permitting (which I know from experience is not fun or straightforward). His workers also all wore masks and were very professional. The work was done quickly once permits were in place and the system is now up and running. We are super pleased with the results and I'd go with Navin and Nippon Energy again. 10/10 for solar installation. read more

Thank you Nippon Energy for our solar install. We went with SolarWorld panels and Enphase inverters, a 5.7 kw system. We love our solar panels and love how easy it was to monitor our production on any of our devices. I recommend Nippon Energy to anyone that is looking to go solar and a company that gives us quality and service at an inexpensive price. read more

After countless hours of meeting with different Solar companies I decided to go with Nippon Energy. Not only was the price the best but the Sevice was also an A+. Navin was helpful and very attentive through the whole process. Thanks for the great job. read more

Let me paint you a picture: family of (5) with the rain that we've had in February and my roof is leaking into my house - significantly. I called many vendors, and on Saturday night at 8 PM, Shawn responded to my call. Other than listen to me in desperation he responded with "let's meet on Tuesday and just trust me, I won't do you wrong". I did just that and all I can say is that he is good for his word. I have a new roof with cool shingles and solar for 50% less than what other vendors were charging. Essentially replaced my electric bill till I pay off the roof/solar - then it's free. I met with SunLux, Sun Run, Sears, and many more before Nippon Energy. Get back time on your life and call Nippon Energy. All materials used where American made - which I appreciate ! I highly recommend Nippon Energy and call Shawn as he is true to his word - he will take care of you. If you care about quality work, genuine honesty and a job well done.... than this is your company. read more

We just got the go ahead from SoCal Edison last week on our 52 panel ground mount installation. Nippon was one of the few companies that would do a ground mount that was complicated with steep canyon terrain and retaining walls. The installation went smoothly, and there were no issues different than what we expected. It is great to see the meter going backwards. The equipment with Nippon was better than the competition at a better price. Staff is very professional, and easy to reach even after hours. Very pleased with the experience! read more

In the beginning of 2015, we decided to go solar. I went on to the CA Solar Initiative website and accidentally EMAILED 130+ vendors (from all over CA). From all the replies, we picked out about 20 companies to research on. We ended up choosing Nippon Energy. We chose Nippon Energy base on a few factors: 1.) Their design for our home was most fitting base on our usage/home orientation/ area. 2) The brand/products that proposed to use was more reliable than others. 3) The price was very reasonable and competitive. Navin from Nippon Energy was in charge of the install. We ran into a slight problem with the city permit (our fault). Navin was able to help us straighten that out. Then less than 3 weeks, the entire system was in place. Navin personally oversaw the installation process. He was prompt to email me updates on the entire install. Even to this day (7 months after), Navin still monitors and sends me updates on the performance of my system!!! Thanks for everything! read more

We recently did our solar through Shawn Munden with Nippon Energy and the process with great. Would highly recommend their solar services.

Nippon Energy and Shawn Munden installed our solar panels in July 2017. When Shawn first approached us we were concerned as to whether solar would work efficiently due to our property having 3 separate electric meters and long distances between the two homes. We had multiply issues that required Shawn's attention prior to the system being installed. Shawn was very good at explaining the process and dealing with the issues as they arose. Shawn was always available to answer our questions, he was courteous and knowledgeable. We had considered installing solar previously but were unable to locate a company we had confidence in, until Shawn approached us.. Since having our solar installed and going through the process with Nippon Energy and Shawn Munden we would highly recommend that anyone considering installing solar talk to Nippon Energy. We are very satisfied with the overall experience and the service they provide. read more

Let me start by saying NIPPON ENERGY IS AMAZING!! We were referred to Nippon by our neighbor and were kind of weary of solar as we had heard some bad things about the cost and if it was really worth it. Then came Shawn. He came to our home and was able to answer every question we had with confidence which gave us piece of mind. On the first visit he was able to give us an entire layout, price quote, and time frame we would be up and running. DID I MENTON NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET! Let me tell you he stuck to his word! Most companies try to up sell or give you more then you need to make the company profit and Nippon isn't one of them! They check your energy usage and give you exactly what you need! As install started and we had questions I would call Shawn, he would answer on the first ring if he was unable to answer he would shoot me a text and get back to me within a few minutes! That is a huge plus compared to most companies when you sign the contract slack off well not Nippon! He would text me and let me know exactly when they would be here and kept me posted on the progress. Shawn also came for delivery of the material and checked in to see how his installers were doing. He walks you through the entire process so you have no worries. Also all of their employees are very polite and professional! The entire process only took a couple weeks and we are very satisfied! I recommend Nippon to EVERYONE! They will not disappoint! read more
