    Solar battery's installed.

    Franklin Wh whole house solar battery installation. I cannot stress more what a great team from Pacific Sun Technologies. They finished up today keeping the power on while completing the battery wiring. Extremely neat wiring, very friendly , and thoroughly labeled all breakers in new breaker box. As for the office staff, great communications throughout the permitting process up to the install. We are very satisfied with their work, highly recommended.

    After a lot of research, proposals and quotes from several solar companies, we landed on Pacific Sun... Their proposal was the most complete and the time the spent with us prior to the signing of a contract answering many many questions and providing the back up data to assist us making the best choice for our current and future needs was superior. We have had our Solar System for 3 years now and couldn't be happier along with our higher than expected savings in our power bills. During installation they inspected our roof and found several cracked and even missing tiles that they replaced and repaired. We had one panel go out and Pacific Sun was on it to ensure we had a replacement compatible with our system. We have now added a Power Wall and a EV Charger to the house, we are so happy we have ordered an additional back up battery. Highly recommend Pacific Sun.

    Unfortunate Experience with Dale and Pacific Sun Tech.
    Hadyn D.

    I have never given a business a negative review in my life, this will be my first. The person that I communicated with was Dale. He was nice and professional at first. Everything was going well and I wanted to proceed with my solar installation. I paid for the $1000 dollar deposit and signed the contract on March 11 (Friday) (This will be important later). On March 13 (Sunday), I had a family emergency and needed to help with living expenses. So I decided that this was not the best time to purchase solar and would rather use the money to help my loved ones. On March 14 (Monday) I emailed Dale to let him know that I wanted to cancel the contract. (On the contract, it states, "You may cancel this transaction, without any penalty or obligation, within three business (3) days from the date the Agreement was executed") And for context, The California Solar Consumer Protection Guide states: "You have at least three business days to cancel your contract for any reason. You may cancel the contract by emailing a notice to your solar provider by midnight of the third business day." So I signed the contract and deposited the $1000 dollars on March 11 (Friday) and I emailed Dale to cancel the contract on March 14 (Monday). I thought to myself I had three business days to cancel and since March 14 (Monday) was the first business day after March 11 (Friday) that there would be no problems. But I was wrong. March 15 (Tuesday), Dale gives me a call at about 9 am. He proceeds to say that he received my cancellation request for the contract. But he will only refund me $650 out of the $1000 that I initially deposited. At this point I was taken aback and didn't even know how to respond. I thought I had misheard what he said to me and I asked him to repeat his message. He stated that the cancellation was after three days already so he would not be able to refund me the total amount of $1000 back. I started by responding that three business days have not passed yet and in California a business day is regarded as Monday through Friday. He then retorts by saying that well their company works over the weekend so it counts as a business day. I was completely dumbstruck at this point. I thought that maybe I was in the wrong, so I took out the contract that I printed out and read him the contract word for word stating that it clearly states a business day and does not include weekends. And that even if we were to include the weekend as part of the three days, March 14 (Monday) would still be the third day after I signed the contract and that I have until midnight of the third day. Dale proceeded by not answering my statement and instead said, "why did you think you wouldn't be charged?" to which I respond "because it's clearly written in the contract that I may cancel this transaction, without penalty or obligation." He then says, "Well, either way you're going to be charged and I can only give you back $650. At this point, I can see that this was just a money grab, that he was going to just take my money regardless of what proof I had, what the contract states, or whatever I had to say. Some of you might have had good experiences with Dale, most likely because he was going to make money off of you. But once he sees that he won't be making a sale, that nice and professional mannerism just completely disappears. Dale stole money from me plain and simple. So if you do business with Pacific Sun Tech or Dale personally. Please be careful and consider all your options before committing. Honestly, this experience makes me think that if he could steal money from me when we're only talking about $1000 dollars, what would he do if your system goes down and you are trying to request your warranty to cover the costs? What would he do or say to avoid paying money to fix your system or what loopholes is he going to pursue to guarantee minimal losses? In the end, please be careful, and take care.

    Dale walked me through the entire process. Having spent awhile researching and getting quotes for the specific system I wanted Pacific Sun Tech came in below their competitors and with better equipment. We went withe the REC 370s and 2 10kw enPhase backups. This included an upgrade to my homes ancient electrical panel. It took about 4 months from ordering to installation. Most of the wait was due to county and local planning backups and not PST. The actual installation took two days after which our home was nearly off-grid and could be entirely off grid if we wanted. The financing was quick and straight forward. Dale answered the few questions I had regarding tax credits. All in all I highly recommend Pacific Sun Tech for solar installation for anyone in SoCal.

    New Day Solar installed our home solar back in 2023. That whole experience was great and our solar…read morehas been functioning very will since then. Haven't give SCE a penny since the 3rd month after our system went online (over 2 years now!). The reason I'm writing this review now is that we had a major roof leak back in late November and part of our upstairs ceiling collapsed in. What a nightmare!! We weren't sure where the leak was or if the solar was the cause. We contacted a roofer to address the roof repairs needed and we also called New Day to let them know what was going on and asked that they be involved in determining the source of the leak. They were so responsive and quickly came over to evaluate the situation. After their inspection they didn't feel the leak was due to the solar panels but was rather a roof problem in one of the valleys near the solar panels. They didn't just walk away at that point. They came the day the roofer began the repairs and worked with them to fully evaluate the problems. They removed the solar panels that needed to be removed so the repairs could happen and put them back after. They were correct and the solar was not involved in the problem. Corey the owner went out of his way to make sure he had a crew on-site when the roofer needed them there so that we could get our repairs done as quickly as possible. Corey was up on the roof multiple time to make sure everything was done correctly and we were happy and secure that the problems were resolved. Many other companies would have just said "not our problem" and walked away but that's not how they do business. I would so highly recommend them to everyone for their professionalism, knowledge and follow-up even 2 years after the install!!

The panels have been sitting on our roof doing absolutely nothing while we continue paying full electric bills every month. Eight months of delays, no clear answers, and no firm activation date. Communication has been inconsistent and unprofessional. We've had to chase them for updates, and we still don't have resolution. To make matters worse, their installation caused a roof leak, which we only discovered when it rained. Now, instead of saving money with solar, we're dealing with potential water damage to our home because of their workmanship. At this point, we are filing formal complaints with the: * California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) * Better Business Bureau (BBB) * California Attorney General's Office If this situation is not resolved immediately -- including system activation and proper repair of the roof damage -- we are prepared to pursue legal action for breach of contract and property damage. Homeowners deserve transparency, accountability, and competent workmanship. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience with My Smart House.

We had new construction and solar was required. I contacted Infinity Solar and they walked us through each step of the process, and they were very patient and understanding through our numerous construction delays. I was connected with Nick who was great! Most solar companies only wanted to consult over the phone but Nick was more than happy to come meet with us. He looked at our construction and walked us through the next steps, explained who would handle what portion of the installation. Nick coming out and answering our questions made us feel more comfortable about the process. Sara was also great! She checked in on us periodically to see where we were in the construction process. She understood our delays and never made us feel pressured or rushed. They handled the permit process, kept us apprised of when it was approved and when our equipment was received. Infinity does their own installation which was a huge plus. I heard many stories of solar companies contracting out and not having the work pass inspection and the nightmare to get it corrected through the solar company because they did not do the install. Ivan and his crew came out to install. Ivan was patient, explained what they were going to do and what options we had for placement of the equipment. He was very knowledgeable and professional along with his team. They completed the install in a day. If you are looking for solar and want the process to be stress free and feel confident the work will be done right, I highly recommend Infinity Solar!

    Absolutely First-Rate from Start to Finish When the fires…read morehit Southern California and we lost power for two weeks, something changed for me. I remember standing outside one night listening to my neighbor's generator roar to life again. It sounded like a chainsaw tearing through the quiet. Across the street, friends with solar and batteries had their lights on. Their kids were inside watching TV. Life looked normal. Meanwhile, I was packing up my family to leave our home. Rising electricity rates, AI data centers consuming massive amounts of power, and talk of double digit rate increases made going solar the right thing to do. I researched heavily. Built a spreadsheet. Interviewed over a dozen companies. Got bids through Energy Sage, cold called installers, and asked around for referrals. I wasn't looking for a sales pitch. I was looking for people I could trust with my home and my family's security. Infinity Solar felt different from the start. I didn't have to deal with brokers or middlemen to jack up prices. They are family owned, in business over 25 years, BBB A+ rated, and 5 stars on Yelp. Tim, the owner is a C10 licensed contractor, sets the tone for the entire company. His pride and commitment to doing things right shows up in every person on his team. Sara, our project manager, kept everything organized with clear, proactive communication. Blake handled the maze of permitting. If you've dealt with solar permitting in California you know what a mess it is. State, county, city, and fire department all with their own rules. Blake stayed on top of all of it so I didn't have to. Joel made sure the job site ran smoothly. The crew deserves real recognition: electricians Adrian, Ivan, Salvador, and Christian; roof lead Arni; installers Jose, Gabriel, Kieren, Israel, Erik, and Robert; and Deyvis helping with inspection. They showed up on time, worked hard, kept everything clean, and answered my endless questions without ever making me feel like I was in the way. Construction always has bumps. Permits get revised, inspectors want changes. What mattered was how Infinity handled it. Calmly, professionally, and without disappearing. Tim must be a good boss and take care of his people because this is a crew of highly skilled workers who take real pride in what they do. The day the system went live felt like a turning point. Our first outage was December 23rd while setting up for a Christmas party. Power was out over eight hours. The lights never flickered. I only knew because the app alerted me. Tim included a Solar Insure 30 year warranty covering panels, microinverters, wiring, and roof penetrations, including labor. It's backed by an A+ Superior rated third party insurer and is transferable if I sell my home. An installer's warranty is useless if they go out of business, so this gives real peace of mind. Because I verify everything, I called Solar Insure, Enphase, FranklinWH, and REC directly to confirm Infinity is a Premium or Platinum installer with each. They are. I'll break even in 8 years at current rates, sooner when rates keep climbing, and you know they will. But more than savings, it's peace of mind. When the grid goes down, our house doesn't. Infinity Solar gave our family back a sense of stability. I'm grateful we chose them.

    Review Update: After…read moremy initial review, Eric (the sales rep) and Matt (the owner) of Sunline personally reached out to me and was apologetic about the situation. They sent Travis out promptly, who is their electrician where he found that the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty 40-amp breaker that was intermittently providing the necessary voltage, even though measurements initially appear correct. While the breaker issue caused real inconvenience and unexpected costs on my end, the owner was responsive and showed willingness to smooth things over to work toward a resolution. I also want to highlight that the panel upgrade and solar/battery installation itself was clean and well done. The workmanship that Eddie, Manny, Christian and Jamie performed had overall met my expectations, and once the issue was identified, Sunline did step in to correct it. No project is perfect, but how a company responds when problems arise matters a lot. In this case, Sunline's owner and Eric was engaged, responsive, and made a sincere effort to make things right. As an engineer, and after witnessing the symptoms and corrective actions firsthand, I believe the breaker issue was likely a manufacturing defect, and it was unfortunate that it occurred during the holidays. That said, based on how Sunline handled the situation, the overall quality of their work, and the value they offer, I would recommend them and plan to continue using them for future needs.

    It has been about 8 months since the project was completed so I feel I can write this review fairly…read moreabout my experience. It was pushed to get it in before the credits ended. For the quick summary, there was a mistake in my installation, it was not handled well and the system works well but only have a long struggle. They price match but hard to say if I felt good about the price in the end either. Overall, it is very mediocre. After talking to 4 companies, I decided to go with OC after they honored a price match from a competitor. It was a fairly large system, 15 panels and a Tesla power wall 3 and needed to be added to existing system as my current one was underpowered and required due to new builds in California. Total was about 33k, out the door. It may not have been the cheapest offering but shopping for solar is not my favorite experience and I went with what I felt was at least fair for what I got. I primarily worked with Don from sales and Brooklynn and initially seemed fine and for all intents and purposes, it should have been. I chose to get HOA approval and pay for it myself so it did stall the project through no fault of OC. I dropped the first major deposit of 10k and the installation was scheduled around July 2025. The next part is where the struggle began. The day of installation, the installers tell me the panels cannot fit in the design that they were given. They asked if I wanted to pivot to another part of roof and just install it then and there. I call OC and they admit the design cannot possibly fit my panels on this small area of my roof and I cancel the project and have them redo the plans and for me to go through HOA again. This leads to a very frustrating back and forth with Don and later Brookylnn's superiors as I no longer heard from her. I had about 10 calls or more trying to clarify what to do next and was met with a lot of resistance about what happened. It turns out the plan was actually the original estimate from Don (sales) and for some reason just pushed through their architectural team without consideration of the size. Don's superior Chandler even spoke with me about this and though I can't recall their explanation for this mistake, they spoke as if this was my issue with wanted to go through HOA and that they had no power to stop the project. If I had written this review after this call, I'd recommend no one work with these people. It felt frustrating and at times demeaning, given that they do this all day and I don't know what I'm talking about. After I got my second approval, OC refunded my fee to the HOA approval, but only after I explicitly asked for it. We eventually moved forward with the project and inspection when fine. My guess is had we not had this irresponsible prelimary design provided by Don go through their "architectural" team it would've been fine and none the wiser. As of this writing, the panels are working as intended and I had such a sour experience, I just moved on. But now Don and company requested a review for their internal systems, so here is it and a Yelp one that they did not ask for. In the end, like most of these experiences, it's not the mistake that upsets me, it's the handling of it. Communication started fading when things got more difficult and the lack of empathy or consideration for some dropping this much money on something they will do maybe 2-3 times in their life is disappointing. Much of the time I asked them and myself, how should I know this plan wouldn't work? Sure the HOA can't legally stop me, but I have to live with them, not OC. Whoever may have gotten this far, thank you for hearing my rant. Odds are you will have a fair experience but the truth is, most of these companies are interchangeable. They are all middle men and their strength and differences lie in the customer service and coordination. I didn't expect but solar buying is probably more similar to going to a car dealership. Do your research, advocate for yourself and don't get your hopes too high and it will probably be fine. As for OC, I think in the end they are just mediocre. They're like anyone else you may talk to. The processes are probably similar and I'm glad the system has worked well, which helps my scoring of this review. Maybe they just got lucky with me at the time, as I was getting fed up talking from one salesperson to the next and they price matched. I'm sure others will and can do the same so whoever you go with, as long as you are on top of it, it will go fine.
