    Honestly the only reason I decided to go with My Smart House for my AC units was because of Matthew…read moreHemp. From the very beginning, I was very honest with Matt on what my needs were and his communication stood out -- he was always quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and made sure I fully understood my options. He was one call away every time! He went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. It's rare to find someone who's so knowledgeable, professional, and personable all at once. Thanks to Matthew, I felt confident in my decision and completely satisfied with the end result. If you're looking into My Smart House, make sure to ask for him -- you won't be disappointed!

The solar panels that they installed don't produce enough power to offset the added monthly cost of the loan. They promised a cashback check as an incentive, and after multiple calls, it's still yet to arrive. It's almost a year late. They've promised dates and sent emails confirming the supposed check's arrival - but no such check has arrived. Furthermore, it hasn't been even a year since the panels went up - and one of them has already failed. I don't look forward to trying to schedule a maintenance date, given their squirreliness so far. I'll update this review should they make things right, but they haven't given me any reason to be optimistic so far.

    I needed to repair my skylight after noticing moisture on an area of the wood below it. I received…read moreseveral quotes, but Sunline Energy was the only company that recommended fixing the root of the problem rather than just putting a Band-Aid on it. My skylight had been installed incorrectly by another company, which was contributing to the moisture issue. Since skylight repairs can be a relatively small job, I found that not many reputable companies were interested in doing this type of work. I was very happy to find Sunline Energy. Juan handled the skylight and related roof and flashing repairs, and I can't say enough about the quality of his work. He is a perfectionist and took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. He went above and beyond and fixed both the skylight and surrounding roof area beyond my expectations. Based on my experience and the quality of Juan's work, I would highly recommend Sunline Energy to anyone needing skylight or related roof repairs.

Adding on after Sunline Energy's response: I did not mention the following yet it is important to do so, in 2024 3 roofing companies told me that the roof was past due on repair, I had mentioned what happened with Sunline Energy in 2023 and was told that your company as well as others install on roofs that are not healthy enough and even with replacement of shingles the plywood was not thick enough to support solar panels, in other words, Sunline never mentioned something that was felt just by walking on the roof, ethics should be as important as obtaining a sale because people work hard to keep there home maintained, honesty is the best policy, I understand that the company must achieve sales but situations as so are very disturbing, Sunline Energy continues to owe us $1,000 due to a deposit for a job that never took place.

    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

    Our experience with Infinity Solar's post-installation support has been extremely frustrating…read more We selected Infinity Solar partly because its sales representative repeatedly assured us that post-installation support would be handled smoothly. We were told: "We will be your number 1 phone call - always for all service related inquiries and anything to do with your solar system. We will address the issue and bill Solar insure so they can pay us for our services," "Year 9 or 11 or 30. It's all covered for us and you," ""The only time you contact solar insure directly is if Infinity goes out of business," "you can expect the same level of customer service throughout the project and afterwards as well," etc. Those assurances were a significant factor in our decision to choose Infinity Solar over competing installers. Unfortunately, our post-installation experience has been very different. Our system was installed in 2024. In July 2025, Enphase confirmed that the System Controller 3 included in our contract had never been installed. Because the controller's primary purpose relates to backup functionality during outages, there was no obvious indication during normal operation that a contracted component was missing. Infinity acknowledged that it had been "missed". Rather than immediately correcting the omission, Infinity proposed various solutions involving additional load center and other components costing from $4k to $11k just to remediate the issue. We were surprised that correcting a component omitted from the original installation was presented as a new project requiring thousands of dollars of additional equipment. After doing my own research, sending repeated follow-up emails, and spending months corresponding with Infinity, Infinity eventually acknowledged that it had missed the original controller and we reached a simpler $888 meter-collar solution, with Infinity handling the permitting process. The controller was installed and programmed in Nov 2025, but the permitting process continued into 2026. In July 2026, Infinity said it was still going "in circles between the fire dept and the city," and in September said it still had not heard anything definitive. These updates came only after we initiated follow-up emails requesting status information. In September 2026, our Enphase app reported a gateway-measurement problem, while reported production dropped about 40%. Enphase customer support found a discrepancy between the production meter and microinverter data and recommended an on-site inspection of the production-meter wiring and current transformer installation. We contacted Infinity. No response. After two more follow-ups and a 9-day wait, Infinity finally responded and informed us that an on-site visit would cost $400 for the first hour and $150 for every additional hour merely to diagnose whether the problem qualifies for warranty coverage. I am not opposed to reasonable fees for truly non-warranty work. I object to this substantial diagnostic fee never being clearly disclosed during the sale. We were given the impression that Infinity would address service issues promptly and bill Solar Insure. Infinity now says the fee is diagnostic and customers must first pay $400 plus $150 per additional hour before learning whether the issue is related to workmanship or warranty coverage. Customers are also given no indication of how many hours the diagnostics may ultimately require. Infinity further suggested we contact Enphase Care and other companies to solve this issue instead. Completely different from what they promised during the sales process. The fee is high enough that many customers may decide not to pursue diagnostics at all, making no determination whether it is a workmanship error. Secondly, the issue is not the existence of a diagnostic fee. The issue is transparency. Had this policy been clearly explained during the sales process, customers could have made a fully informed decision. In our experience, the sales promises, system design, warranty expectations, and actual service process were not communicated transparently. Prospective customers should insist on written disclosure of all diagnostic charges, warranty exclusions, system limitations, included components, and permit responsibilities before signing. If your system never develops a problem, you may have a different experience. If it does, be prepared for delays, repeated follow-ups, and a post-installation experience that does not match the expectations created during the sales process.

I had talked to several different companies and he presented the system the system that I could afford and thought would meet my needs. Tier 1 represents different companies that actually do the installation of the systems. It took 9 weeks from the time that I signed the contract until the time that the system was turned on. Once I signed the contract, I never heard from Ryan again. It would have been nice if he would have touched base occasionally to check on the progress of the installation. I can't blame him for the delays but we had delays because the initial plans submitted to my city had to be corrected because the original plans called for equipment to be installed too close to a natural gas supply line to the house. Meanwhile, I had to submit the plans to my HOA and that took 4 weeks to get approval from the HOA because they only meet once a month. Then it took 2 weeks to get scheduled by the contractor. Once, the system was installed, we had to wait for the city come and approve the work, another week wait. Once the city approved, the installation, we had to wait another week for SCE to approve the system and give the authorization to turn the system on. After waiting for several weeks, Tier 1 contacted me about the operation of the system and explained the remaining questions that I had. I learned that the SolarEdge Inverter monitoring system has cell phone type communication that allowed monitoring of the system without having to use my WiFi. This has been a plus that I did not know about.. The other minor questions were explained and the system is working great.
