Solar panels

Cori is the rock star of solar systems! We reached to Paragon Sun in summer 2024 to replace some of our existing solar equipment and to install a battery system. Cori was extremely responsive and helpful. She is super knowledgeable and able to help us figure out exactly what we needed. Her expertise isn't just in the equipment itself, but she is amazing at navigating through the whole process. Our process was more challenging than most because the applicable federal energy credit was expiring at the end of 2025, so the manufacturers and SCE were backlogged. But Core navigated through it all and got us up and running by the end of 2025, and made it look easy in the process. Cori's team was delightful to work with. Victor was our day-to-day installer on site, and he was excellent and really pleasant to work with. Our refreshed system has been up and running now for a couple months, and everything is working fantastic. We use a LOT of electricity, but we are now pulling very little from the grid. The Enphase batteries do a great job ensuring that we are never buying power from SCE during the expensive periods, and our solar is sufficient that we draw very little from the grid even during the non-expensive periods. The system is giving us a great return on our investment. I also hate SCE, so it's enjoyable knowing that I'm giving them as little money as possible. I would much rather pay Cori than SCE, and her electricity is much cheaper! One fun nerdy story: A week or so ago, the National Weather Service we had a severe winds alert in the middle of the night. Our system automatically noticed the alert, immediately charged our batteries to 100%, and sent me an e-mail notification that it was charged and ready in case the winds resulted in a power outage. This is a feature you can turn on or off, but I love it! It's fun that, even if the power goes out, I won't know it except for the FYI e-mail that the Enphase system sends me to let me know my batteries have me covered. We have power outages a couple times a year in my area, and it used to be super inconvenient. We rely on power for our internet, and we are cord-cutters so the internet is our TV provider. I'm retired, and all my hobbies require power. I also have a fairly elaborate home network, and it is a bit of a hassle to reboot my servers and get everything running smoothly after an outage. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about any of that any more. If you are considering a system, definitely choose Cori and the Paragon Sun team. It's not possible to provide better service than they do.

System 2
Cecile W.

System 1 - 32 solar panels, 3 batteries, installed Dec. 2022 Addition to System 1 - 1 battery installed March 2023 System 2 - 16 solar panels, 3 batteries, installed May 2024 Total of 47 panels and 7 batteries, 1 electric car panel System 1 and additional battery are under NEM 2.0 [roughly exported kWh offsets imported kWh over a yearly period] System 2 was not installed until SCE provided guidance that would permit additional panels with batteries without having both System 1 and 2 under NEM 3.0 [exported = 0.25 x imported] as long as the system was set to NOT export. We are hopeful that the guidance will be honored but this is still pending approval by SCE. Cori is very knowledgeable about all products and the industry as a whole. Communication is very prompt and informative. System builds are tailored to homeowner goals, including communication with Generac Generator, and budget. All aspects of the installation are handled by ParagonSun, including engineering plans for the system, communication with the city for permits and onsite meeting with city inspector. All paperwork is filled out and submitted to the electric company for approvals, and, when necessary, communication and scheduling of roofers like we needed for system 2 (see positive review for King Roofing) Initial estimates are final costs; we never experienced any additional charges. Electricians are experienced and efficient, and cannot say enough kind words about her colleague, Josh. Work is thorough, and all aspects of the installation are considered, including cosmetic touch-up. Enphase products are high end, operating consistently with minimal issues, and tech support is very accessible at almost all hours of the day. Do not consider anywhere else! This is the best of the best.

It's 630PM and barely any power usage from the grid.

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.

Poor communication and project management…read more My project has been underway for 8 weeks and I'm still likely weeks away from having a functional system (despite having paid over $30K out of pocket). I've had to repeatedly chase the team for basic updates with no follow through. Throughout the entire process, I do not believe the team followed up with me directly, I have had to chase every single update since signing the contract. The original system design I agreed to did not fit my roof (despite them measuring on-site before I approved the quote), during install many roof tiles were damaged and replaced with used (very dirty moss covered tiles). Hopefully I have a functioning system sometime soon, but I have been extremely disappointed so far.

I wanted to share my recent wonderful experience with my recent service visit with Infinity Solar…read more I purchased my system in 2024 (detailed review also done); during this time, my solar generation has been absolutely wonderful, and sized perfectly by Kay. My electric bill is essentially free over all of 2025 and this year. Some months have a $10 dollar bill, other months negative depending on how sunny each day is. I have had zero issues whatsoever and system works like clockwork. The installation over my tile roof, done through Terrazas roofing, partnered with Solar has also been top notch with zero issues with multiple major storms last year. I would say i was 110% satisfied with my decision to go solar and with Infinity solar. Fast forward to 2026. A series of recent power outages resulted in no power in my home. My initial thinking was that my system should have generated power with a fully charged battery during this outage. After calling Infinity, it was relayed that my system per contract was only set up for load shifting by design, lowering cost which I had decided on. After discussing 2 options to allow for backup power generation, i decided to proceed with the upgrade. Throughout the process, the entire team supported me exceptionally, starting with Sara who stepped in to help speak to me when the service department was not available at the time. As i did'nt understand my contract fully,, i reached out to Kay in sales, whom i did not speak to in 2 years, who really went above and beyond to explain to me in full detail how my system was set up, and options i had to upgrade. Kay treated me like family. I was so appreciative of her kind approach. She helped coordinate a technical call with Joel to fully answer all my technical questions. Once i decided i was comfortable with to proceed with the upgrade, the service team took over, with Vanessa and Brianna helping me schedule my service. Vanessa and Brianna work tremendously well together; super friendly, pleasant, professional and helpful. I requested looking into a couple options which Vanessa followed up on and accommodated without hesitation. A straight forward and exact quote was provided on Thursday. Their service and help was fantastic and greatly appreciated. Upon approving my quote on Thursday, my service was completed on the following Tuesday, much faster than I expected. Upgrade was performed by Ivan, electrician specialist. Ivan also initially setup my system in 2024. His expertise is perhaps, in my view, the finest in the industry. I felt very fortunate and appreciative knowing i hd my system in the best hands. He spent about 3 hours working on my system, explaining all the steps. Work performed was tremendous. Ivan patiently answering all my questions on some of the system parameters forgotten over the past 2 years. System was up and running and verified to work fully with a simulated power outage performed through the fuse box, and through the app. I was thrilled to now have backup power during outages. Billing and final payment was as quoted and super easy. In closing, the real mark of any business is how you are treated after the job is complete. My belief is that Infinity solar lives up to their reputation of being an exceptional 5 star company providing high expertise solar services through all phases of a project; sales, installation, commission, operational life, and post installation services. In a business of fraught with fly by night companies, Infinity Solar is a true gem. Solar done right with integrity, highest expertise, and exceptional, prompt service when called on. Thanks again to the entire Infinity team. 5 Star once again! Dave C

UPDATE: Sadly, changing my original 5-star review to 1 star…read more I'm really disappointed to have to update my original review. When we purchased our solar system from Infinity Solar in 2017, the installation process was great, and we genuinely felt they went above and beyond. We were extremely pleased with our experience and had no hesitation recommending them. Unfortunately, fast-forward several years, and our experience has been completely different. Recently, one of our inverters stopped working. Given that our contract includes a 25-year warranty covering workmanship, labor, and certain equipment, we naturally reached out to Infinity Solar expecting them to stand behind their warranty. Instead, we were told we would have to pay $550 just for someone to come out and assess the problem, followed by additional hourly labor charges for however long the repair would take. When we questioned why we were being charged these fees despite our warranty, the owner, Tim, explained that we lived too far away, that the business wasn't doing well financially, and that it essentially wasn't worth it for him to send someone out. He even mentioned that they were considering closing the business altogether. Needless to say, we were shocked and extremely disappointed by this response. We trusted this company with a significant investment, in part because of the extensive warranties they offered. To now be told that servicing our system isn't worthwhile to them because of their financial situation and our location is incredibly frustrating. Ultimately, we hired another company that came out and repaired our inverter for just $300--less than what Infinity wanted to charge simply to diagnose the problem. It's unfortunate because our initial experience was genuinely positive. However, a company's true commitment to its customers isn't just demonstrated during the sale and installation, but in how it stands behind its products and warranties years later. A 25-year warranty means very little if the company is unwilling to honor it when you actually need service. I sincerely hope Infinity Solar reconsiders how it treats its existing customers. Based on our recent experience, I can no longer recommend them, particularly to anyone placing value on their long-term warranty promises.

I contacted Sean and he explained everything I needed to know to make a decision. Sean gathered the necessary information from me and soon provided me with an estimate of my solar requirements. He followed up with a visit to my house so we could finalize the deal. Sean was easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the industry. It has been over a year since the installation and we are very pleased with the results! I also referred another neighbor to Sean that resulted in another successful installation! Thank you Sean

I'm a return customer of SunPower and know the product somewhat better than your average customer…read more I price shopped around. Synrg Solar was the cheapest. You pay for what you get. SunPower is Top Tier in performance. I've had my experience with a previous dealer than went out of business, but we won't get into those details. Synrg Solar / Sean Demarinis you are dealing with Sunpower. Synrg/Sean Demarinis is to the point and will get your Solar System spec'd out to your needs. Installation will be completed by Sunpower Employees not a sub-contractor. Throughout this process Synrg Solar / Sean will keep you updated on your progress in regards to updates on parts and city permits. We met Sean in Oct/Nov 2022. After many discussions and price comparisons, nobody came close to Synrg Solar/Sean pricing. We signed the documents and were set to go forward. Installation took 1 day for 15 panels. Sunpower crew started 7am and completed by sunset. My system is a little different than others. This is an additional solar system (2 Solar Systems) on my residence with 2 Tesla Batteries. Cash purchase which will give you the cheapest price quote. There were some little issues in regards to monitoring due to the 2 seperate solar systems, but was all rectified. You can always go directly to Sunpower by calling the 1-800 numbers, but I cannot guarantee you'll get personalized service updates of your project as I did with Synrg Solar/ Sean. I wanted this system in-place up and running before NEM 3.0 took effect and also take advantage of the Federal tax credit of 30% . I give Synrg Solar 5 stars for the service that was provided. Thankyou Synrg Solar. I'll provide Photos at a later date.

Solar Optimum EXCEEDED my expectations in every way. They have been awesome! The design team really got it right. They got through permitting efficiently. The install team took pride in their work, and it shows. And once installed getting it turned on with the SDG&E was relatively quick. Everyone was extremely professional and patient as I asked a million questions. Their price was more than fair as I found some places as much as 50% more, for the same products. Check around on same equipment to feel comfortable with pricing, but know that when it comes to design, permitting and quality install, Solar Optimum gets it right. All for what I found to be the best price. I never expected to be this satisfied with the process, and they fully deserve a "*****" rating. Well done.

I wish we had gone with any other company, the prices here are excessively high. The representative was sleazy and added on charges just to boost his commission clearly. He was fired but now the company won't remove the extra charges for services that were not provided. Then again nobody actually responds to my emails except to say "we're looking into it." And now they've sent us to their lawyer as if it's my fault they never answered me. Lawyer also doesn't respond but did threaten more charges in the letter. I'll end up paying the full amount just to never have to deal with this company again.

As I continued to shop around, I realized the customer service, follow-ups and my many questions put this company at the top. I signed and they gave me an approximate timeline. It was seamless and "almost" right on the projected time frames. Through the process they kept me up to date and were available for a few questions I had along the way. The installation crew came out and they were EVEN better than the customer service and sales rep. Eduardo Naranjo needs a promotion and a raise. The man was so humble, genuine and all around a great guy. He dealt with my kids and many dogs with no fear lol. He was professional and kept me apprised of everything the crew was doing. At then end of the installation I was sad to see the man and his team go because they were so personable and efficient. The install of my panels and batteries looks way way better than I could have imagined. I already had existing solar that I liked. But this new system blows it out the water. Anyway. Love Stellar Solar and very happy with my new system!
