I am a general construction contractor. We need things done by others at times too. I had Davids company put solar on my roof about 7 years ago. They did a clean fast and professional job. I have had 0 issues with the quality of the products and work performed. I now have need adjust my system to some degree. I have had a number of the solar parasites that crawl through our neighborhoods with their tablets skate boards and electric bicycles. Everyone of these companies gave me a recommendation and cost that is simply ridiculous. The practicality and logic of these systems just does not make sense. I Called David and he got back to me very quickly. He came to my home and did a thorough analysis of my needs and provided a cost efficient solution that others just did not want to do. If you, your friends or your family need energy services I suggest that you save yourself some grief and frustration and just call David. He is an honest and fair contractor. read more

Dave was able to walk me through issues with the solar system that Progressive installed in 2013 and saved me at least 600 dollars getting my old gateway to work. I wish I had been able to get through to him earlier, and I would have saved even more. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and my system is producing again as it should. read more

I am not talking about the Feb 17th phone call. I did not have the part then. I called after I received the part. And after 10 total phone calls to you over two months is when you return my call so let's not pretend it didn't take you two months to return my calls anyways, I don't know why you got upset. I'm the one that should be upset that it took you so long to reply. How did I find someone to install the inverter for $200 if you were charging me no cost what are your actual costs?Although my system is 13 years old, you should stand by your product or your install regardless if it's 1310 or 12 years you just gave proof to others reading this review that if they go with you, you do not stand by your products or install after many years, that's unfortunate. I wish I would've known that I would've gone with someone else. I was never upset during our phone call or rude to you and I don't know why it would have escalated. I actually thought you were joking because I just couldn't believe instead of fixing the problem you got upset and hung up. That's very immature. Do better. I had still been referring friends and family when they ask who I go through but not anymore I will keep it local because it's too much trouble for you to come out in the first place just to make the money and then drop your customers as soon as there's a problem. Not cool! read more

Great service. The owner of the company David is an amazingly personable guy. Very honest very upfront. The guy tries to save you money. I would recommend this company to anyone. We have had numerous friends use them and they are excellent, reliable and trustworthy. read more

I was introduced to David and Progressive Energy by a friend. I had a large settlement bill from Edison and ...well I lost my mind. I have solar and was under the impression I would no longer be sending large checks their way. I called David. He was patient with me and went step by step until he found the issue of what was happening and why. It is now resolved. Tell your friends. Progressive Energy is simply outstanding. If there were more stars, he would get them.I am a satisfied customer for LIFE!! Thank you David! read more

***100% UNPAID REVIEW*** We hired them to replace our roof. They did so much damage that we had to let them go. They used cheap particle board and scrap wood to fix holes and replace our fascia. Additionally, the owner and director are absolutely devoid of ethics, often resorting to yelling, cursing and belittling the very people who pay their checks. Ultimately, we reported them to the California State Licensing Board and the Better Business Bureau. The CSLB found several violations. They are still under investigation, due to the fact that David tried to put a Mechanic's Lien on our house, even though he was over-paid for the work performed, by about $2000. I have made it a point to state that I have made $0 for writing this review. Read the negative reviews and make an informed decision. read more

Great service and communication with respect to design and install of our solar system with batteries. Dave took care of all matters relating to SCE as well as the local inspections. They were a pleasure to work with especially with all of our changes...! read more

Excellent service came out right away really easy to communicate great service would highly recommend Had a problem with my solar inverter and Dave came out the very next morning to troubleshoot and repair. Even though he didn't install my solar system he was very knowledgeable on it and took care of everything working with the warranty company. read more

So I noticed that my electric bill was sky high,($2800 for the year, normally $800) and I seem to not be getting any where near the solar production I am supposed to. I had another company come out, and so far they have discovered that I am supposed to have new Inverters on 13 of my panels, which I do not. It seems they were ordered by progressive energy solutions and shipped sept 6, 2018 to progressive. In talking with Dave from Progressive, he's not sure what happened with the RMA'd inverters and says enphase is not sure they shipped them now. He also said he was willing to help out and get the inverters ordered but that it appeared my system didn't need that many switched out. All in all, solar can be a headache, but Dave seems like he's willing to help. read more

David is extremely well versed in all things electrical/solar, I had a lot of questions for him about our solar and how its setup and works, he took the time to walk me through everything and to make sure that everything was setup properly and that I understood how everything worked.

March 6, 2019. It's sad when it takes this long for a response. Please read all the DATES. Today is March 6th 2019. When an owner of a "company" is to incompetent to respond to the people they take money from but waites a year to insult you, that should tell you something. Read other reviews. Im not the only one. Go to the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. (BBB) Here is the link so you can check for yourself.. Just COPT AND PAST AND YOU WILL SEE: They ARE NOT ACCREDITED!!!! https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/yucaipa/profile/solar-energy-equipment-dealers/progressive-energy-solutions-inc-1066-100080126 So unless you want somebody calling you a liar years after they take your money.

Been 21 days since we cancelled our project, within allotted 3 time period, and still have NO returned deposit check. Worst customer service ever. Definitely know we made the right choice not proceeding with them. Beyond frustrated. UPDATE- it only took 7 months to get my deposit back read more

I would like to say that I have received nothing but stellar customer service and product from progressive solutions. Working with Dave has been a great experience, he assisted me in reconnecting my new Spectrum router to the wireless Envoy. The reason for my Yelp is his customer service was "OUTSTANDING" it took us an hour! He never wavered during the process and we finally got it connected. Hooyah Dave - thank you. read more

I won't ever use them again. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. All I can say is, don't use them for anything other than solar. They subcontract everything outside of it, and you'd get cheaper prices if you subcontracted work yourself. I'm stuck with a patio that leaks and artificial turf that literally melted (twice). They reinstalled the turf, and it melted again after telling me that if I had my windows tinted, it wouldn't happen again. They assisted with payment on the window tinting because they didn't realize windows can melt the turf and didn't inform me of this either. They told me this was in the turf warranty (that I am yet to be provided). They stopped calling back when I informed them of the turf melting again, even subsequent to the windows of my home being tinted. I filed a complaint with HERO, and I was told by Don they wouldn't fix anything until I dropped the complaint. HERO eventually stepped in to ensure they fixed the problems the first time around. I didn't bother filing a second complaint when the turf melted the second time around because HERO wasn't much help. There is much more to this story, including them having the nerve of asking me to write them a favorable letter after all of our negative dealings with them. I see Dave likes to respond to bad reviews. He knows there is no disputing this review, and Yelp should know I'm not some terrible reviewer. Plus, this was all documented by HERO. I should have written this long ago because I see the same thing has happened to others since I had them do this work nearly two years ago. Again, I had no problems with their solar services, but their other work was extremely problematic. Some companies should stick to what they're good at. read more

I have a signed contract and I paid a $1,000.00 deposit on October 15, 2021. As of today April 18, 2022, the work is not even started yet.

I will also file a complaint with the California State Contractor Licensing Board. Progressive Energy Contractor License #926487. read more

STAY AWAY! I am having trouble deciding what to write because there are so many bad things about this company. 1. Didn't pull permits for 2/3 of the work they were hired to do. Now they won't pull them, because they "know it wont pass inspection". 2. Bullied me into signing completion certificate, then basically ghosted me after with work left undone. 3. They broke things and claim it wasn't them. Their fixes broke other things. Their "final" fixes were not adequate. 4. Their communication skills are nearly nonexistent. They say they are coming and don't. They say they will call and don't. 5. They blame the city and their subcontractor for everything bad, or the original setup, or, or, or... 6. Their subcontractor was a joke, but instead of admitting that, and going after their sub for misquoting the job, they now tell me I need to pay more money to fix it. 7. When I go out of my way, both time-wise and monetarily to try to work with them, they still fail to perform. In short, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WIH THEM. If you are already in a contract with them, DO NOT SIGN THE COMPLETION CERTIFICATE until everything is done. The day you sign will be the last time you have any regular communication with anyone from the company. I am filing complaints with the CSLB and the BBB. I will be suing them. I will go after their bond. I will keep this updated. read more

This guy name Devon Lee who came to our house and totally explained everything to us, he also made sure that i was also listening in case my parents doesnt understand what he's trying to say, my parents really wanted solar so he provided a solution, my folks kept saying we couldnt afford it so he tried to give us a better solution by giving us the right offer that we could afford, he even gave us more power than we expected to be. so after, the good parts we were down to checking if we were approved by Hero (Home Energy Renovation Opportunity), we were disapproved first bec. my parents had bankruptcy 3 yrs. ago, it says it should be after 7 yrs. to be approved but he didnt give up, we were doing this for almost 3 hours now, he was already late for his next appointment but he wasnt rushing to leave, he made sure we will get this offer.. so he made another solution by checking our mortgage bills, since my parents paid their bills on time, there was no bad record or anything, he took a picture and sent it to hero.. and bam we were approved! i wont go into details bec. its too personal to talk about mortgage plans, but we were told to save $113 every month and pay everything off along with our yearly tax at the end of the year. so the process were held about 3 weeks, bec. the home association has to approved by it, but in the end, we were approved and the guys installed solar for 13 panels (i think) on our house. we've had solar for 2 months now with no problems. read more

A Man named Tom came out to our house about 4 week s ago from Progressive. We made the appointment with regards to getting a roof, insulation and gutters. He took 2 hours of our time to pitch us on Solar Panels. We kept on asking him about the roof and insulation. He kept on pushing off the subject and said he would have his roof guy come out and give us an estimate. Wasn't that's what he was supposed to do???? Tom said he would send us an email on the roof guy and would make an apt that Monday. That was 4 weeks ago and we never heard back from him. It was quite evident on our part that we were not interested in Solar a 30,000 dollar Solar system. No call....no roof...no insulation.......???????? Chris S read more

Stay away, Dave Hines will screw you over! Liar, zero integrity. Progressive Energy Solutions will contact you when you buy but never when you need them! There is little to no customer service representation for their solar installations! You are better off with another company for your solar energy needs. This company should not remain in business. Their office staff, like Jamie, are always away and will not call you back. Dave Hines will be happy and jolly over the phone and you may be fooled enough for him to con his way into your wallets. Buyer beware with this company. They should rename it to regressive energy complaints! read more

I chose Progressive Energy Solutions over many competitors because of their professionalism, customer service, and price. They took the time to answer all my questions! Their installation crew was clean, and their fit and finish exceeded my expectations. I have referred Dave and his company to friends and family with equally satisfying results. There are a million companies in the solar installation business, this is the one you want to call. Glen & Carrie Allen - Corona Ca read more

Progressive was very professional and did a fantastic job. I would recommend this company for solar.

Thomas was super fast and polite!! I wasn't on time to my appointment and he offered to stay and wait! How awesome. Thank you!

Don was great. He took care of my small project, I will probably use the, for solar in the future.

Needed solar panels removed and replaced for shingle replacement on my roof. Called Progressive and spoke with Jaime who was more than helpful. She was able to get guys out the next day to remove the panels without any hassle. Once the roof was replaced, I gave Progressive a call back and they were able to get guys out the same day to put the panels back on. I will definitely be calling Progressive back for any future energy solution needs! read more

I called Tyler and he showed up with a mask and My wife and I Instantly knew he had respect for his clients. Tyler and the person that came with him were patient answered all of our questions, and when he did not know the answer he got the answer from another professional. Tyler's expertise and availability was spot on...we could call anytime and ask questions and he never onced rushed us.....He came peiodically to check on the progression of the roof work and he would ask "Did the crew clean up" and he would tell us what time the would arrive the next day., Of course you should check behind the crew.....we did find one area of work that challenged us ....We called Tyler and he took care of it with no problem . Progressive energy solutions also installs solar panels, well we already had solar panels up and they knew exactly how to take them off and put them back up and they did a good job. The crews were always polite and nice. Progressive energy solutions were fair in their pricing and they found out things that were wrong with our roof and did not charge us for correcting it. This company also does not nickle and dime you throughout the process......they asked for much less than 10 percent to start and they did not ask for the rest until the roof was complete. I would work with Tyler and progressive energy solutions again and I would highly recommend them.....The owner also came and checked on us also. read more

They knew exactly what to do in a quick and professional manner and i can't say enough about how easy the whole process was if i could give more than 5 stars i would have read more

We had a neighbor hit a baseball and damage one of our solar panels. David with Progressive got back to me right away with a quote and gave us same day repair service. The installation went flawlessly and the price was fair. I highly recommend David for solar and I plan to use him should we ever need maintenance in the future. read more

I just bought a home and had never had solar panels. We contacted Progressive Energy Solutions and had the pleasure of dealing with David. He is extremally professional and caring. He saw our home within an hour of calling him. He found our issue as to why our solar panels weren't recording solar activity. He also went above and beyond to call Edison and notify them of new ownership which nobody had told us we had to do. David could've just said give Edison a call, but he went above and beyond for our family. I would recommend you give David a call if you're looking to get solar panels for your home. Thank you so much David for going above and beyond our expectations. We will be referring you to family and friends. read more

David the owner of Progressive is awesome! His follow up and customer service is the best. It's refreshing that you can deal with a company that truly cares about their customers, if your considering going solar I highly recommend Progressive Energy Solutions. read more

WAY OVER PRICED! My wife and I decided to go solar and this was the first company we met with. Bottom line, we met with other solar companies and Progressive's price was almost double the other quotes for the EXACT SAME system. We ended up going with Sunline Energy out of San Diego. read more

This company has amazing customer service. I am by no means an easy customer. I'm in the service industry so I would be the first to call out a bad company. I had 8 solar reps come to my house and none of them could get me the right deal. Thom Palmer made it happen. He truly looked at every angle of my situation and created a system them I liked and most important my wife liked. This experience with Progressive energy was so amazing I got my dad and father in law interested. Thank you Thom Palmer, chuck bischoff and James schlangehaft for everything. read more

Progressive Energy Solutions - Solar Installation Near Me - Redlands, California

My wife and I received two bids to purchase solar panels for our Yucaipa home here in Chapman Heights in November 2014, one from Progressive Energy Solutions and a second from another local solar installer. Progressive was slightly higher at bid time, but as promised by their salesman Tim they met the lower bid price and offered us a much lower interest rate for financing - bringing our monthly payment for panels to $143 per month. This rate will never vary for the length of the loan, unlike our Edison bill which was "varying" upwards of $400 per month ! Progressive pulled all of the permits, and secured approval from our HOA quickly. From the time we contracted with them to the day that Edison performed the transfer of power this contractor moved things along very efficiently, with the help of a few follow up phone calls on my part. The actual panel install took just 1 day, with one follow visit to paint the electrical conduit to perfectly match the color of our stucco. Our monthly Edison payment is now about a buck, but I notice that our panels are OVER producing and we will be owed a refund or credit from Edison at the end of the year. We have referred our fiends and neighbors to Progressive and recommend them whole heartedly. One of my coworkers who hired a large home security company to install his panels in July of 2014 is still unable to pass inspection since they were poorly installed. That's one of the reasons we went with Progressive, they know solar ! Phil & Laurell - Yucaipa, Ca. read more

My sales and my HERO contract both say that I was to get a cool-air roof that is re-sheathed with CDX plywood. It was a lift and re-lay, with all broken tile replaced, that would be mold, fungus, and rot free. As a suggestion in order to form greater roof strength and improve thermal efficiency, I agreed to keep the good OSB as an underlayment. All water damaged moldy, fungus damaged, OSB would be replaced. The CDX plywood roof sheathing would be an overlay. Not all water damaged OSB was replaced as was said they would do, however. As left, the final product was not a cool air roof. It was a conventional roof with a plugged solar fan. The vents that were sized for a +1500 square foot attic area were changed to newer smaller vents that were sized for +600 square foot attic area. Later visits after the roof completion notice was issued corrected the exhaust vents needed. My son then went to work, using the results from internet searches, correcting and balancing the intake vents. He worked for over 3 weeks, putting in 2 thermostat-controlled dormer fans, 1 powered from the house power and 1 solar powered, putting in all needed intake vents. His result was amazing. The attic area starts at night time ambient temperature rising slowly to daytime ambient temperature at about 1400 hours. Then it holds that temperature until the solar fans kick out. It rises about 5 degrees above ambient running on the dormer fan which cools it down through the night. The roof sheathing overlay, CD grade plywood rated exposure 1 started at (MOD 24) 16 mm roof sheathing, my roof is MOD 24 construction, was changed to thinner cheaper (MOD 16) 11 mm. That was changed again to an unknown mix of the cheapest 7-8 mm interior grade plywood Home Depot sells in the final roof product. Veneer grade DD or less with core voids unlike roof sheathing. Too late to change it once I caught this change. There were multiple quality control issues that required 6 return visits to get the final 4-star result. Progressive Energy Solutions will, and did, bend over backwards to achieve customer satisfaction. They are a go-to company that is very capable of 5-star workmanship, so long as you have a well detailed contract that includes rigorous quality control from start to finish. My roof project started April 3 2019. The 4-star result was polished and finished July 30 2019 by the CEO himself. read more

A month ago I met with Dave from Progressive Energy to talk about getting solar. This is the third solar company to pitch solar to us and in general I wasn't to impressed. The first two companies were very nice but I just got that rushed, pushed feeling. All three companies were comparably priced but Dave was very thorough. I next felt pushed to sign a contract and was overall impressed with his appearance and demeanor. After we signed a contract with Dave and Progressive all I could think about was Oh god, here we go with the contractors and the hurry up and wait. This unfortunately has been my experience dealing with different contractors over the past few home improvement projects. Well to my surprise, not only did the installers show up on time but Dave was the first to greet me and my husband before the installation. Dave introduced me to his team and then they went to work. My expectations was that this project was going to take a week or two even though Dave assured me the installation may take a few days from start to finish. Two days later, I'm happy to say that my solar system was completed and Dave showed me how to work the monitoring. I have read a few of the reviews about Progressive and let me say, I'm sorry a few others didn't have the same experience as we did. I highly recommend Progressive Energy and would strongly recommend for sceptics like my self, just ask for Dave. I'm confident you will be thankful you did. read more

Mike McCue was very forthcoming with details and information on our solar project! He's a person with integrity, and he was never pushy. He got right to the point and saved us a lot of time. We got two other solar estimates. When we weren't sure which way was best for us, Mike said let me prove to you why the Progressive way is the way to go. If I can't, I'm outta here. And show us he did! Amazing savings, all while making our home much more valuable! We were tired of throwing our money into the bank of Edison, so solar was a total no-brainer! Mike said it would take a day to a day-and-a-half to install, and it did. He said we'd be up and running within a week after install, and we were! I read reviews about people waiting up to a year to get connected and the installers making a mess out of their home and leaving projects mid-install. Progressive's team of installers was fast, efficient, and they did a beautiful job in a very expeditious manner! We couldn't be happier! read more
