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.

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!

He was one of several people we met with about our project and he had no issue getting up on the roof to inspect and take measurements and readings. Others just relied upon satellite photos. He went over our historical usage data and our future needs(swimming pool upgrades) and designed a perfect system for us. Tyler knows his stuff, and was able to explain everything solar and not make it confusing for us. He was honest and trustworthy from day one. Others tried to win us over with gimmicks and freebies. Tyler was the tipping point for our decision to go with his company. He made promises to us and he kept his word. The job was done by July and installed in sync with our new roof. For each of the past three years, we have received a check back from Edison and we run our AC and swimming pool all the time. Tyler, thank you for a well designed system. David and Marlene

Getting solar with this company was one of the worst decisions of my life. Not that they are a…read morecompany anymore. But I just want to add my story. After being transferred to 4 or 5 different point people and a YEAR after I paid my first $7500 installment and they had sat on that money interest free for one year, I pushed VERY VERY hard to get them to start installing the solar. By that point they had forgotten that I had paid for the system and was not renting it.... I'm convinced that if I hadn't pushed extraordinarily hard, that I would have never got my solar. They also lost all the preliminary work they had done and had pics from someone else's house thinking it was mine. The roofers they picked included one person who was literally a child. They did such a terrible job that I got $11k of damages in the first precipitation. TWO leak points. One on the chimney and one on the swamp cooler. I lost a whole month of work and Brett won't give me the time of day. Now i'm trying to get my money back. While the roofers were sub-contractors, Enlighten Solar workers inspected their work and still chose to put the panels up. They looked past all the terrible work, including two spots where they just tacked tiles to rotted wood underneath. Rows of shingles went off in weird angles and they tried to skimp on materials by not overlapping the shingles properly. There was no flashing at all around the chimney. But the Enlighten ppl did their work. They cut air intake lines below what code allows to fit panels without asking me. Then the first precipitation, there is a river running in my walls. Feb 2025, the all the panels come down, all the roof redone, and i had interior crews working on my place and spreading particles of rat droppings literally everywhere. It is August i'm fighting not to be ghosted and still get my money back ($14k). I am SO tired of dealing with this company. This was supposed to be done in 2023. I would not be shocked if i'm still dealing with this in 2026. I know there were some really sad circumstances involving the company. But I think there were also critical issues of mis-management that are just not okay in any circumstance. I observed just unreal levels of lack of coordination. It was a true shit show from start to finish. One thing is I was told that my situation was the first time they deal with anything like this (Brett Jarman said)... Turns out, i've met some other people now who had the same bad experience and outcome as me. I see the similarities. The fact that they take more money for deposit than legally allowed. They take forever and sit on your money. They do sub-par work and ask for payment promptly upon completion of work. When things go wrong, they ghost you and try to create ways to delay addressing the issue which they NEVER intend to actually solve. Please refer to Stacey's review ($200k of damages) and other stories, seems like my situation was NOT unique. This makes me call into question ALL of the "truths" that I had in my head. I wonder how many of the excuses were straight up lies. I really think that this group of individuals ride the line between legit business and a scam. There seems to be enough people who have gotten screwed here. Some of us are starting to collaborate. Feel free to join the party. I'm considering a class action lawsuit, so feel free to reach out to me other people who left terrible reviews and other people who got screwed over by this company.

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.

I was as skeptical as they come! I interviewed 7 companies and looked at solar as many ways as…read morepossible. I had just completed a major home remodel and was absolutely DONE with contractors. 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.

We spent a lot of time researching solar before moving forward and spoke with a few different…read morecompanies. Our first conversation with NetZero was with Donny, and while it was helpful, we decided to pause and keep learning. After doing more homework and later reconnecting with Nilda and Bobby, the experience felt very different. They took the time to answer questions in plain language, walked through realistic expectations, and never tried to rush us into a decision. After we decided to move forward, the process was handled professionally from start to finish. Nick helped dial in the system design and made sure everything made sense for our home, and Mark oversaw the install side and kept things moving smoothly. The crew showed up when they said they would, treated our home with care, and cleaned up at the end of each day, which we really appreciated. Permitting and inspections were handled by the team and communicated the steps along the way. There were no surprises. Kelly was especially helpful keeping us in the loop and responding quickly whenever we had questions, which made the whole process feel far less stressful than we expected going in. Overall, NetZero Energy felt like a company that values doing things the right way and standing behind their work. We are happy with the install, the communication, and the end result, and would feel comfortable recommending them to friends or family who are considering solar.

I've responded to their December 2025 email twice, and heard nothing back. I still have no idea if they're tracking my system performance or not. They sent me a new tracking app to join last year so I could share my system information with them, which leads me to believe they weren't tracking the system the way they said they would be. The data it shared is the same data I had already communicated with them.
