I can't recommend Plug It In Solar enough. From start to finish, their communication was outstanding--every email and text was crystal clear, and they were on top of every detail. Seth Bradburry was a champ! PlugItInSolar is lucky to have him! I tried several other companies that only treated solar as an afterthought, but Plug It In Solar, a premier Tesla Energy installer, is the real deal--they're absolute pros at what they do. They even helped me find the best spot for my Tesla Powerwall, going back and forth until we got it just right. They've really earned this five-star review! read more

I had a fantastic experience! The crews showed up early every day and stayed until the job was done. They were incredibly courteous from start to finish. You can tell they take pride in their work--every detail was handled carefully and professionally. The quality of the job exceeded my expectations, and they made the whole process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, detail-oriented, and truly excellent service. One thing that we loved, was how they concealed / painted all the steel piping. They color matched to the color of our house. Unlike my neighbors who used other companies, they have steel (almost chrome) pipes that are visible throughout the exterior of their houses (refer the attached photos). The crews were beyond punctual. They would show up early in the morning before their scheduled start time and leave late into the evening hours. My wife and I would like to thank the crews and their assistants; Aaron, Mike, Joseph, Mario, Javier Edger Richard Alejandro. As well as the project Managers Issac and Sierra, who kept my wife and I in the loop constantly, they were awesome at communicating and putting us at ease. Additionally, shielding us from having to deal with the city. Most importantly, I'd like to thank Mr. O and Mrs. S for all their honest and awesome products and services. I almost want to get more panels, because everyone was so nice and detailed.

Great company. Stand by their product. Honest and efficient. I recommended them to a friend and he was equally happy.

Holy cow, they did it! I signed the contract with Plug It In on 10/1 through Solar.com, and Plug It In said they could complete the job before the 12/31 deadline for the tax credit. They got everything done, including installation in one day, and I was able to pass inspection and get PTO before 12/31. The process and communication wasn't perfect, but that's to be expected when everybody is scrambling to beat the deadline. I'm very grateful to Stefan and Plug It In for getting everything done, thank you! read more

When I first went shopping for solar panels, I got proposals from three other companies before getting a pitch from PII Solar. The original three spoke in generalities and tried to impress me with "savings". Most aggressive was SUNRUN. The salesman actually very confidently spoke to say that he was "going to be" my solar supplier...as if I did not have a choice somehow. Then when Sunrun told me that my roof could only "handle" about 10 panels (which would not meet my electricity needs), I said I was not interested...but they absolutely routinely continued to beg for me to sign up with them about once a week with very persistent "don't you want to..." texting and voice mails. Even after I acted to block a Sun Run number, they popped up anyway using a different number for some time. This was very annoying...and is very much the reason I can so readily summon up the name SUN RUN among the three early companies I considered for solar. So I was fairly much resolved to give up on solar by the time I heard from Leeron Dagan at PII Solar. Then I learned so much in a couple of conversations with Leeron that my interest reawakened. Fast forward to the present where I have now a mature set of 21 panels on my roof, at a good price, which are yielding a PHENOMENAL energy output! From the education by Leeron, it became evident that the other would-be suppliers had each been offering me a cookie cutter approach to solar panels. The goal with these guys is to get in and out fast, put in minimal effort, and get your money. Not one of the three even mentioned importance of inverter type to success. (Consumers are poorly served by common string-inverter installations...but if you don't even know about micro-inverter vs string, you are at their mercy...and they will give you the cheaper variety.) By contrast, Leeron educated me on the superiority of the micro-inverter, and he explained how through custom work he could overcome the obstacles on my roof, doubling the capacity cited by Sun Run and others. Once I signed on with PII Solar, there turned out to be issues with a substandard meter upgrade I'd hired a garden variety electrician to do. Leeron calmly advised me on what steps would be needed to remedy the deficiencies--and even directly communicated with my poorly chosen electrician guy to guide him in bringing the work up to standard. Throughout the process, Leeron impressed me repeatedly with his professionalism, vast knowledge and his genuine concern to have quality in the end product. He knows his business very well, explains thoroughly, and delivers everything he promises. I honestly believe you could not do better than PII Solar...and particularly cannot do better than Leeron Dagan in this industry in Southern Calif. read more

Mike and Aaron did an excellent job. They were experienced, professional, and explained what they were doing each step of the way.

Thank you eternally!, Manager Sasun, for calmly coaching us through the entire year-long maze to install our brand new solar battery backup! (County permits, Fire Department approvals, SoCalEd inspections, State rebates, no problem at all.) Huge thanks Sasun, you handled EVERY detail! Meticulous architectural plan drawings, expert drone photos, on through install, critical load panel, clean-up, & final re-painting to match both inside & out. Glorious! An immense pleasure, to be both your fan & a satisfied customer! Best deal in SoCal! read more

First of all I want to say that Plug It In Solar is a very professional and high end company. Their service was excellent. I'm extremely happy with my brand new solar panels. read more

More details and clarity about the process and the timelines could ideally have been more frequent, although we do understand that we were among many people panicking to have everything done by the end of 2025 (to get the energy efficient tax credit that was terminated by the cruel orange child-raping rage-bait nazi man-baby grifter narcissist-in-chief). Nonetheless, the solar work (and as a prerequisite to it, a complete re-roofing, which Plug-It-In Solar also took care of with subcontractors) was completed expertly and by our deadline by wonderful installers, all of whom were incredibly gracious and went out of their way (and even often worked late) to do a terrific job. Completing the work before the end of 2025 was nail-biting, but they accomplished it as predicted, and we are EXTREMELY happy with the resulting new roof and the super-sweet solar setup. We STRONGLY recommend going through the power company (as we ultimately did) because they offer you a choice of the three best bids from reputable companies, rather than risk being scammed by third party solar companies directly. We're very happy that we went through SoCal Edison and that we selected Plug-It-In Solar. FANTASTIC product, crews, work, and outcome! read more

I just wanted to give a shout out to Shane from Plug-it-in-Solar. Shane came out today and checked out my solar panel system install after the huge winds we had because I found a clip on the ground from one of our panels. It turned out to be just a left over clip from the original install that blew off the roof. Shane went the extra mile checked out my whole system and found a few things that needed attention while conducting his inspection. I truly appreciate Shane's attention to detail and his professionalism. I want to also thank Marina from customer service, she is always so pleasant to deal with. Big thumbs up to Plug-It-In Solar. read more

First I would be leery of any company on solar that has a lot of reviews and they're all or mostly 5-star. No company is without problematic cases, and apparently I'm going to be the first for this one. What a shame, because this was easily rectifiable...I gave them more chances than they deserved. I first contacted them on June 3, 2020 for an estimate, that's 79 days ago from the time I'm writing this review. Because we've been screwed so many times by bad and incompetent contractors, I choose to get everything in writing, so I do all my correspondence with a company by email. Until now, I've never had a problem with a company complying with that. If a company really wants the business, they should do what it takes to secure a customer. If that means taking the time to type out and answer all of the customer's questions, that's what they should do....not whimper about having to spend the time. 8 days after asking for the estimate, Aurora Parssinen, head of operations, still had not replied, so I wrote again (my 3rd contact). She then asks me for a copy of my utility bill, something she should have asked for the week prior when I first wrote in. Sending in the utility bill is commonplace. I sent the bill (contact #4). Over a week later, still no response so I touch base (contact #5). No response from Aurora for another six days after that. She finally sends me an estimate, but it's solely based on my utility bill and looking at my roof from a satellite image online. They did NOT come out and look at my roof or measure it. I write back with 4 questions. (contact #6) She does answer them the next day, but I'm concerned that they haven't actually looked at the roof (and it is an odd roof as our house has had many additions). I suggest they come out and look at the roof (contact #7). No word back for 10 days and then I FINALLY hear from a Lauren M. Christy, production manager who says they can send someone the next day. I write back to confirm (contact #8). 2 days later they send the revised estimate, which isn't all that different than the first one. What's concerning about this, is this estimate still doesn't reflect the questions I brought up to them previously, or options that other solar companies have said they can do. There are areas of the roof that space-wise could accommodate more solar panels that they're not utilizing. So I write back with more questions. Now most people would be appreciative that a customer takes the time to write out the questions so that they don't have to formulate answers on the spot, and can take a reasonable amount of time to consider them and reply. Not PlugItIn Solar...keep reading. I hear nothing back for 2 weeks, so I write in again to find out what's going on (contact #9). 3 more days later, I get an email from Leeron (Lee) Dagan, Director of Sales and Operations. He does take the time to answer my questions briefly, and ends the email with "Let me know if you have any more questions." Well, I do! I also feel he hasn't accurately responded to my questions about "reverse tilt" panels, so I send a bunch of photos to illustrate what I mean. It took me a while to find all the photos and write it out, but I wanted to make sure he understood what I was getting at. Then, no reply for nearly a month. So I write in again (contact #10), wondering why I'm even giving this company so many chances to get this job. Lee writes back within an hour with "Sorry, it's been absolutely nuts its [sic] been hard for me to get back by email. When would be a good time to jump on a call and discuss?" So, here it comes. The used-car-salesman phone call to discuss, which really means he wants to tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about and it can't be done the way I want it...he has no intention of taking the time to research what I'm trying to accomplish, so he just wants to talk to me on the phone so there's nothing in writing that he's actually just complaining about having to do his job. I write back and tell him I need to do it in writing (contact #11). He writes back with: "there are too many variables and details over email to discuss." So he can say them, but he can't type them. "I don't have that kind of time working from home with a newborn." Ah....so I'm paying the price for him procreating. Potential customers, know that you come AFTER his childcare needs. "I get 40 emails just from 6:30 am to 12 pm that I have to respond to by 12 pm everyday [sic]." Cue the violins. He expects me to believe that he gets emails at 12 pm that have to be responded to by 12 pm, and yet he didn't respond to mine in a MONTH! Mmhmm....sounds like a load of malarky to me! So, I write back and say "OK, forget it then. If I'm not worth the time and effort, I'll go with another company, and write this up in my Yelp review." (Contact #12) More in attached photos. Also, none of the people I dealt with are listed as employees on the Contractor's State License Board website. read more

Great installation with a highly communicative team. Specifically two individuals stood out during the installation: Dereck Ramirez and Fernando Lemus were not just great at doing the installation itself. They also made me fell comfortable and informed all along the way. I would recommend Plug it in solar to friends in the future. read more

This company is TOP notch. I have relied on them for years after they installed my Tesla Powerwall in 2019. AAAAA people from Lee Dagan on down. Most recently I've been working with Sasun G. - I don't have enough words for how professional, tenacious, knowledgeable and a great communicator he is, as is the entire team. Sasun has bent over backwards solving a puzzling problem with the hardware communication between my solar panels and the Enphase monitoring system (both installed by another company that no longer exists) & my Powerwall. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. A+ integrity & professionalism. read more

Plug It In Solar, Leeron and Sasun are the dream team of solar companies. I had met with Tesla and many other solar companies before we chose Plug it In and we couldn't be happier. Leeron and Sasun and the rest are their team care deeply about their clients, their service, their integrity and the work they do. Many companies, especially in the solar business care only about making the sale and making money, but Leeron, Sasun and Plug It In care about their work in the long term long after the sale and their integrity to serve us always when help is needed. It makes all the difference who you choose to install & service your solar and you will be happy you chose Plug It In. Thank you Sasun and Leeron, I really appreciate you and your support and kindness in everything you do . John Ruskin read more

Thank you Lee and team! Working with plug it in solar was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Lee and his team build the perfect system for our home which included upgrading our panel, guided us through the entire process, and answered any question or concern we had promptly. The installation team was professional, kind, and most importantly they were respectful of my property. When the plug it in solar team left for the day the areas where they worked were as clean as they were when they got there. The communication was excellent and our project was completed on time as promised and we are happy with the amount our system is generating (we love that we can see this all in real time on the app) If you are considering solar companies I highly recommend Plug it in Solar! read more

Worst service ever!! Never have I wrote anything on social media but I have spent over$60,000 between solar and enphase batteries(another story about that company) stick to Tesla but they push enphase. Over 2 months I have a upgrade fail on 1 of my batteries, called the installer PLUG IT IN and even Enphase, but making payments which is too have warranty and I'm just getting blown off. I reached out to Goodleap due to me making payments that I'm making for a damn expensive product they convinced me to buy, Now my last resort is too sue. If you are buying batteries dont fall for there sales gimmicks stick with Tesla and with sun run read more

I would like to clarify that I did not purchase there product and they are a dealer of SunPower. I just like to ensure that folks do their due diligence. This company was extremely high in comparison to the pricing and once I question there products in terms of lease or purchase the individual was not as pleasant and customer service was not good at all. I had to call him to send me the proposal which he did but at time definitely did not want get into a big purchase with such company. Hope this helps folks...this space is getting a bit interesting in how these companies are arriving at their prices. read more

We just received our DWP bill with our full solar credit and our electric part of the bill came to $4.60...that's right $4.60. Such a relief from our solar credit and not giving our hard earn money away to DWP. Lee and Plug it in Solar team were great from start to finish and work was completed in time. Lee explained everything to us from start to finish process and no BS upsale. From panels of our choice, the inverter of our choice, the solar roof positioning of our choice, the finance part of it, the tax credit part of it, the DWP new meter, the final activation of our solar, to the Enphase app for maintenance and solar production. A very professional company and great group of people doing their jobs at a high level. Thanks Plug it in Solar team and Lee. read more

Plug It In Solar installed my solar system a few years ago and most recently installed two Powerwall Tesla batteries. I never thought I would say this but hoping for a power outage so I can test them out! The staff is always helpful and there to answer my many questions. There were a few bumps along the way, but I am happy with everything and would refer them to anyone looking for solar and backup batteries. read more

I found everyone at Plug It In to be professional, courteous, and friendly. Sasun was our main contact; he was helpful and available to answer any and all questions. The communication was great with workers, billing, scheduling, and sales. I highly recommend this organization. read more

The entire team at Plug it in Solar were very helpful in answering all my questions. Taylor and Lee took the time to explain all steps of the purchase. When it was time for the installation it was done very professionally and clean. We are very Happy with our new Solar Roof. We did 26 of The latest Panasonic VBHN330SA17 panels and enphase micro inverters. The very first bill was a credit into our LADWP account that we can use when we need it. I can also monitor the panels from my phone. I would highly recommend these guys. They are honest and provide great pricing, service and warranty. Make sure you talk to them before you buy elsewhere. Give them a shot you won't be disappointed. Thanks everybody at Plug It In Solar. read more

Couldn't have had a better experience! I tend to HATE dealing with contractors; as typically they all suck in some way. However, dealing with Plug It In Solar and Lee was truly a pleasant experience. Everything went smooth, from start to finish. I always felt like they were on top of things and communicated well. I have been enjoying the benefits and savings from my solar system, and am now looking to install one on a couple of my commercial properties. I highly recommend Plug It in Solar! read more

Finally contacted by the right person who is working the problem. They were affected by COVID and folks are working remotely.

Plug It In Solar was recommended by a neighbor; we checked the reviews and were impressed. Taylor Crouse reviewed our electric bills and carefully explained the process.

Five Stars. read more

I'm a realtor serving the San Fernando valley now for over 8 years. I'm always curious to hear real feedback from homeowner regarding day to day concerns or upgrades for their homes. These days many homeowners are interested in going solar. Not only do these systems add tremendous value but my clients can start saving right away. I first met with one of their sales guys, Gal who was a straightforward kinda guy. He never pressured me, he simply educated and allowed me to rely information to my clients. They have been hired by buyers many times and have kelp everyone happy. I am proud to offer their services. If you're thinking of going solar, You should hire these guys.... You'll be glad you did. read more

Why can't every company be as honest as Plug It In Solar? Our solar system was installed in 2005 by a different company and recently stopped working. Lee arrived promptly at our house, inspected the unit, then gave us an honest report. He explained to us that all we needed to do was simply replace one of the blown fuses, and that the solar system would start working again. Lee could have easily told us that we needed to replace our 14-year old system and charge us for a brand new installation, but instead, we only had to buy a $7 fuse from Amazon, and that was it. This experience was a breath of fresh air, and we would definitely recommend Plug It In Solar to everyone! read more

Lee and is his crew are awesome! I actually used them twice for both the homes I lived in to install solar panels once in Reseda and again in Alhambra. After doing a lot of research and comparing many solar installers, Lee on both occasions has shown how much more knowledge he has over the competition, when it comes to tax credits and rebates and therefore overall price, you cannot compare to Lee and Plug It In Solar. I had my panels installed in 2015 and again in 2019 and referred him to a coworker, so needless to say I would use these guys again. read more

We had a great experience with Plug It In Solar. We had already been thinking about getting solar for our house, but when we LADWP wrongly overcharged us for a few months and we caught them lying about how they got those numbers, we decided it was long past the time to finally go out and get solar. A co-worker had just used Plug It In Solar and had all good things to say about them, so we had them come out to look at our house for information and an estimate. Lee, the project manager, was very professional, informative, friendly, and knowledgable. He was able to answer all of our questions thoroughly and made it an easy decision to go with them for our solar installation. Lee was very proactive in keeping us informed throughout the entire installation process. We also had them upgrade our electrical panel, and all of the work was done quickly and efficiently. The city inspector ended up dinging a couple of things before he would sign off on the work, but Lee had the proper authorizations and okays from the required city departments within days, and another inspection was promptly set up and passed. Every employee we dealt with was pleasant and professional, and even when they accidentally cracked some drywall in our house, they had it patched up and looking like new immediately. Plug It In is a responsible company and very easy to work with. Lee, in particular, made the whole project an easy one. read more

It took a bit of time to go solar but we definitely made the right decision. We had numerous meeting with different companies but we then found Plug It In Solar and they nailed it...from Raffi's product presentation, to the installers and the finished product. I wanted the solar panels on specific areas of the roof and they worked with me on that. The product is performing excellent and the entire process exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Plug It In Solar, I'm no longer scared to open my electric bill in the summer. read more

They were great and I just go my first full bill from ladwp. $232.00 for two months. And of that electric was a tiny $77.00 for two months.

Plug It In Solar was extremely helpful with my recent full blown solar system installation. I was fully satisfied with the work they had done for me. I called them to book an appointment, and they even called me 30 minutes before they arrived. The crew did a phenomenal job on the solar system installation and I could not be more pleased with their timeliness and efficiency. They were able get the job done the first time and took the time to explain exactly what had been done in such simple terms that even I, someone who has no technical knowledge, could understand them. Once again, I could not be more satisfied with the great work that Plug It In Solar had done for me. I recommend these guys to everyone wholeheartedly. Thanks guys! read more

First off let me start by thanking the installers for their prompt and efficient professionalism. I was told that the installation could take between 2-3 days and by the time I returned from work on the second day my system was already up and ready for inspection. Communication is key for me and they couldn't have been more responsive. I dealt with Raffi from the beginning and he was not only reachable but he was on site managing the project and I could tell that his crew liked and respected him. As of now my system is on and I am very pleased with the results. Highly recommend their services! read more

So excited for my new system.... What an easy process. Such a nice installation crew and literally no surprises along the way. I've got to say that I've been thinking about this for years and once I met these guys it was a no brainier!!! Rafi is so smart and was easy to work with. Stop waiting and call them now. :) read more

My solar panel review was long overdue, but worth the wait, everyone! Now I can review Plug it In Solar as a "whole". They are not just an awesome solar company, but also an "all-in-one" electrical service! I can speak from complete and total trust, because I waited to review them until I felt I was happy with several months of solar energy efficiency and I had "tested out" their electrical work. So now it's been a year and a half since I first made contact with them and it's been (and still is) one of the happiest experiences in "hiring contractors" I have had in 5 years of owning my home. Where to start? I am still pinching myself for being home the day they did a door-to-door campaign. I never usually answer to solicitors, but something told me to, this time and I found the rep so polite and no pressure, that I figured it wouldn't hurt to get a solar quote. I had gotten a few others and was about to re-do my roof, so perfect timing! Lee, the Manager/Director (and factotum) is by far one of the most personable, knowledgeable, easy to work with and brilliant contractors I have ever employed. He has a calm, rational and OPEN MINDED approach to every aspect of the job. When I panic/question/dig deeper he calmly goes through every step of the process, slowly and clearly, until I have fully understood it. You can tell he has a true passion for what he does. Even though the solar portion of the company is "relatively" new, it is part of a family run electrical company with many years of experience, so I felt that while going for the solar, I was going to be taken care of by people who had a deep understanding of HOW the whole system works, down to the last outlet inside the home. And so many of my friends who hired other solar companies found themselves "abandoned" when they went bankrupt. But here Plug it in is resting on the strong foundation of the original electrical company, so that really gives me peace of mind. Every single thing Lee promised came true: from the initial solar quote and projected tax rebate, to the panels efficiency and the financing. He is on top of it 100% and when you get into a conversation with him you discover how passionate he is about keeping himself current on the whole energy-efficiency thing. He always surprises me with his sharp problem-solving. If faced with an unexpected issue or challenge, he pauses, thinks about it and calmly comes up with new perfectly valid options. Not only that, but he is extremely patient, never loses his temper, just to give you an example, regarding today's job: he sat with me one entire morning, going over the best, most efficient items for me to order online for them to install, allowing me to go back and forth, ask questions and arrive at the best solutions. Lee, Ricardo and Antonio were here today working incessantly from 8am to 4pm on Black Friday, to accommodate my busy schedule on the only weekday I had off. Now I have a bunch of new lights, new efficient bulbs and even wifi operated switches, ALL of them already consuming a fraction of a fraction of what would be the normal cost, since I am making my own power with the panels AND I feel better about my impact on the environment. What a joy to work with such great company, they have my highest recommendation!!! PS: I just noticed my panels are in the second pic below, the one with the palm tree in the middle! read more
