Within an hour of posting my initial review regarding a delayed referral bonus, the owner…read morepersonally reached out, apologized for the administrative oversight, and sent the $500 immediately. I really appreciate the direct accountability and quick resolution. I'm leaving my original review below for transparency, but their prompt response today restored my confidence in their management. I originally had a positive experience with California Solar Electric during my 10.12 kW solar and Powerwall 3 installation last year. Unfortunately, their post-install customer support and business ethics are nonexistent. I referred a friend who completed their installation months ago. I was explicitly promised a $500 referral bonus for this. After months of waiting, I tried following up multiple times privately to give them a chance to make it right, but I am now being completely ignored. It's a shame because I have several neighbors here in Fountain Valley who are currently shopping around for solar and battery storage. I was planning to refer them here, but I cannot recommend a company that fails to honor its own written agreements and ducks communication. Buyer beware: the installation team does good work, but do not trust a word management says about referral incentives or post-sale promises. Still waiting for my $500.

If you're here reading reviews, it might be because you just realized that they went out of…read morebusiness. They came HIGHLY recommended to me by good friends and I am very disappointed/upset. What upsets me the most is I think we were essentially lied to. Their contractor's license expired in May of '26. Their worker's comp policy was canceled in Mar '26. Their bond was canceled in Jun of '26. I had my panels installed in December of '25. I believe they knew in December that they were going out of business. You don't just decide overnight to let those licenses expire or cancel. That aside, I am having problems with my panels and had to get a new company out here and they are trying to figure out exactly what Quantum did. I won't go into the technical details, but it was not installed according to Tesla's recommendations. The Tesla rep on the phone was really surprised at how it was hooked up. I've had 3 visits from my new solar company and we still haven't nailed down the problem and we just figured out what they did... and have no idea why they did it that way. Lastly, when pulling up the solar panels we were greeted with all of the wire clipping and zip ties that were just thrown on the roof and hidden under the panels. Incredibly sloppy work and no attention to detail. Maybe the installers knew they weren't going to have a job in a couple months. Since there is no working phone or email, this is the avenue that I'm using to complain. We were all hung out to dry. If I could give zero stars I would.

I developed a roof leak under my solar panels.

I have called Quantum several times, as well as sent an email detailing the damage and showing proof with photos, and they have completely ignored my requests for a response.

I hired AWS Solar to install solar panels on my home In May 2026. They completed the job a few…read moreweeks later. They did a very good jod. I am pleased. However, upon completeing the job, the project manager Tim Broughton called me, helped me log on to the Enphase app so that I could monitor the panels. After I confirmed that I was logged in, I was told that I was up and running And they were done. I was happy thinking I was now running on the sun. Wrong. So very wrong. I received my electric bill and astonished to see the electric portion was over $800.00. I called the power company and was told that the $130.00 application fee had not been paid. I notified Mr. Broughton and he immediatley saw that the bill for the application fee was paid and apologized for the error. Now the fun begins. I called the power company and asked when they would be out to install the proper meter for solar panels. I was informed that no application for a meter to be installed was on file and that I had to submit an application for interconnection. Hmm? No one mentioned anything to me about completing and application or that I had to contact the power company. I completed the PTO (Permission to Operate) form and based on the questions being asked and the information I needed to provide leads me to believe the Solar company was responsible for completing this form and sending the required fee. Ok. Lets not look to for someone to blame, lets just get the proper meter installed. I completed the PTO and submitted it. The power company came out a couple of weeks later and installed the a new meter. Onlyit was not a meter for solar panels. They installed the same new meter but it was the same meter as the meter I already had. I asked them why they didn't put on a solar meter and I was told that I needed to submit a PTO for a SOLAR METER, which is different. And by the way, they have a special person that installs solar meters and a special person to install regular meters. This seemed rather stupid to me. I ask the power comapany rep for the contact info for the solar department and he told he didn't know. I won't name the power company. LADwp. The one good thing the DWP rep did upon arriving to his office was to send an email to contact the proper department at the power company. I assumed he would have just gone about his business and let me flounder. I started on the second application which asked for job site photos. This was to me another indication that the solar installer was suppose to complete this form because Joe Citizen would not know what photos they were required. I did observe that periodically, the workers would take photos, but none were ever sent to me. Now I'm in the middle of August 2026 with fingers, legs, arms, eyes and anything else, maybe the dogs and cats, crossed hoping that this time I will get a meter. The bottom line is I would still recommend AWS SOLAR to anyone, but I'd have to caution them to make sure they get you connected and ALL fees are paid. Because I was dealing with the City of LA and being constantly sent to voice mail and waiting for call backs, this experience was horrendous.

The 4th year production shows improvement over the 3rd year as I kept the panels clean. However,…read moreit's still about 4.8% below the minimum guaranteed production (accounting 0.25% maximum annual panel degradation). It's 4 year in a row now the system failed to produce the minimum guaranteed production. AWS Solar chose to compensate for the shortfall again; we'll see what the 5th year production looks like. I suggested replacing some of the panels with the higher power ones to solve the issue, but I guess they want to see more data.

Here is my journey from start to finish--and why I'm extremely happy with the result:…read more Initial Consultation: Ish recommended a design that allowed me to install more solar panels than what other vendors proposed. His approach required a small modification that no other vendor had ever mentioned, and it made a meaningful difference in system capacity. Design Phase: Ish and his team were incredibly flexible in accommodating my specific preferences for how the panels should be grouped and connected to each Tesla Powerwall 3. We held several conference calls with their technician and architect to review and validate the design, and they were consistently willing to collaborate and adjust based on my input. Installation Experience: The installation itself was much quicker than I expected. The longest part of the process was simply waiting for the Tesla Powerwall 3 units which was a Tesla supply delay, not theirs. Rebate Assistance: They also helped me secure a rebate that I wasn't even aware of, which was a great added bonus. Overall: Ish and his crew went above and beyond. I've done extensive research on how to fully maximize the Tesla Powerwall 3, and through my conversations with them, I was able to clearly confirm their technical expertise and confidence in delivering a high-quality installation. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Of several companies contacted to quote a powerwall installation, sespe was the best priced…read more TESLA was ridiculously priced even after just having a powerall and solar roof installed only a few months before. I asked them for a price concession but was told none available even though 98% of the work had already been completed with permits, etc. by them... no need for site visit, inspection of panels, etc.. I called around ... and found SESPE and after giving me the quote, they were ready to go within a few days! Not weeks or months out. the 2nd powerwall didnt require very much just to be mounted and the expansion pack itself; it was still a pretty penny, but with no other reasonable optons SESPE came through.

I swear Dean is the most patient (no pressure) sales guy I've ever met. Yo say he is thorough is an understatement. He carefully looks at all information available from the types of systems to the pros and cons of each and tailors them to the individual's requirements. The best part is he doesn't oversell you on things you don't need. In my case I wanted a system to eventually be ready for an electric car. Dean wisely advised not to buy the extra pieces now when they would be of no value to me, but ensured my system would be ready for upgrades when I was ready. Since our initial install we have upgraded our system on 3 occasions, each time carefully planned out to maximize the value of the equipment and to get the best bang for the buck. In short if I could give 10 stars I would. If you are interested in learning about solar give them a call. You won't be sorry.

They're truly an outstanding local company, that has the efficiency and experience of a global company. When we were exploring solar earlier this year, we received three bids from different companies, and decided on Brighten given other customers' reviews and experience, competitive pricing, reliable communication, and deep expertise in solar. They did not disappoint. Everything was streamlined and clear. Cash was there with a handshake and a promise at the start, and end. Kyle stepped foot on our property, assessed all needs of our project, and continued communication throughout the entire project. Lea supported throughout in friendly, reliable communication, while capturing seriously pro drone shots of our finished project. Daniel, Quentin, and Spencer were amazing when the time came to put those beautiful panels on our home, making trapeze artists blush with their balance and hard work. Finally, Jeremy, Marine, and Ben were also amazing help throughout the entire process. If you're lucky enough to live in the area Brighten Solar operates, I would highly recommend not wasting your time searching elsewhere - these guys are the best. A truly socially- and environmentally-focused business putting the customer first.
