Working with Mark from Semper has been a great experience so far! He came to the house and worked with us on our budget and configuration, and hit the nail on the head. He has made things very easy for us, and we really appreciate his honesty and intention to make this a great experience .. read more

Semper Solaris has been our go-to solar, electrical and roofing company since 2020. We've relied on them for 2 major projects during that time. They have a fabulous team across the board. Recently we needed help with a connectivity issue (our fault, not theirs) and Linda C. walked me through the process of resolving the issue. Linda proved herself to be knowledgeable, dependable, conscientious, patient and highly competent. Thank you, Linda! read more

Just installed my solar. Working great and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Paul sized the system correctly and walked me through the process from start to end. Communication and logistics were simple and stress free. Highly recommend read more

sue does her job well with solaris. just wish sdge would hurry up inspections so we don't have to wait a month for solar after installation. read more

Semper Solaris is high-quality company with excellent service, technical expertise, and above-and-beyond customer service. They installed our solar panels, heat pump HVAC, and roof/gutters a few years ago and have provided awesome followup support. Mark Ivory was the consultant who helped us navigate choosing the systems and options, and we found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. We recently contacted Semper Solaris again to add a solar battery to our system and were happy to hear we'd be meeting with Mark again. As always, he presented all the information and options clearly and answered our many questions. It's nice knowing we can trust him to "tell it like it is." This is a solid company that has been around for years and isn't going to disappear, which was important to us for warranties and ongoing service. Their level of customer service is unmatched by any other company we've ever worked with - absolutely fantastic. (We wish every company could be like them!) read more

Angie and Semper Solaris are simply amazing! They provide excellent customer service and they back up their work. Thank you!

Customer service is really bad. Tried contacting them multiple times for assistance but did not get any response.

Mark Ivory was great! Very informative and made the process easy! Very friendly and so easy to talk to.!

Semper Solaris - Spam - Solar Installation Near Me - El Cajon, California

They installed my system in early 2024. 2 weeks ago I had an issue and called them. No one has contacted me since, I have even had to reach back out to them. I don't have power in part of my house. read more

David Bell provided the initial consultation and estimate. He is very courteous, personable, and professional. He thoroughly explained various options and answered all of my questions in plain language. I highly recommend him and Semper Solaris. read more

When we discovered a leak in our roof, Janice was quick to respond and she was able to get a great carpenter to repair the leak damage in our kitchen promptly and with quality work. We are grateful for her efforts and service. Debbie Warren read more

Great service and amazing agent! Paul made everything easier!. Great value with great amount of information!

Just got my first bill in the mail and it's only $10!!! I never thought that was possible. I always hear people get solar and still have a bill. Our sales girl Genevieve made sure to build it bigger so we wouldn't get a bill, she said often people build them too small. We also got a Tesla battery and love it! Semper guys installed everything in one day I couldn't believe it, so fast! Thank you Semper for a great job! read more

Semper Solaris - Solar system! - Solar Installation Near Me - El Cajon, California

Hello I had the pleasure of having Angie Corsaro guide me through some pressing issues with my solar panels/Tesla backup batteries. She was able to guide me through the Tesla battery app. Angie answered all my questions and gave me tips on energy consumption. And how to conserve during grid outage, yea!! We have bee with Semper Solaris since 2015 with our initial solar panel installation. We decided 3 years ago to get the Tesla backup. Solar panel and battery installation went smoothly with no hiccups. I would highly recommend Semper Solaris for your energy needs. And Semper Solaris suits having Angie Corsaro on your team is a no brained. She could be the best ambassador to represent your company. awesome job Angie, and thank you Semper Solaris. Gary Westerfeld read more

Everyone was awesome, from the installers, customer support team to the technical team. Andrew from technical assistance team helped me get the maximum performance out of my new system and explained how the system works and how to make adjustments to it to maximize the efficiency and performance. Top notch service all around. Dana Weeks read more

Communication with this company has been terrible. Once they get past you signing all the Docs-sign documents, communication stops. I can still get the sales person to call me back, but he has not been able to get me in touch with a project person for my project. I have had calls from two different "Coordinators" that could not tell me the schedule. I have the existing panels to remove, existing roof to be removed, standoffs that will hold the new panels must be installed before the new roof goes on, then installation of the new system and battery. Didn't use Semper for the roof (outrageous price) which is the need for the coordination. Panels are supposed to come off tomorrow, I think, we will see. I can fix this review If the install goes correctly, otherwise more 1 stars to follow. read more

This review is about follow-up work that Semper completed after my original solar and battery installation in 2020. I want to recognize and thank three key team members who made the experience a positive one: Janice (customer service/project management), Austin (painting and drywall), and Brian (inspection). Over the course of a project that spanned several months, each of them was consistently professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Their reliability and attention to detail really stood out. I genuinely appreciated the level of service and commitment they brought to the job. read more

We met with Mark Ivory about back up batteries. He was awesome.. he took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. He explained our options and helped us make the right decision. He was there when we had more questions and answered calls not just texts. He was not pushy or hard selling which we liked and he stayed to guide us without looking at his watch. Of course him being a vet touched our heart:) He followed up and the next day i got an email from the project manager and we are on our way to beat the deadline thank you Mark!! I had a referal, my Dentist was interested in solar and batteries and roof and Mark as busy as he is and almost to the deadline helped them with everything and they are so happy the wife really wanted semper solaris. Thank you MArk. read more

This is an update to my review 3/21/2023. After they read my 2 star review, an account rep called me immediately and helped schedule someone to come repair on 3/28 (yesterday), a full two-weeks from when I called initially. She said she'll email me, too, but I never got an email from her. Another broken promise. Yesterday, the tech, who was nice enough, arrived more than an hour early, which in my case was not great. I told him that I had a work call that I had to take so I wouldn't be able to talk to him afterwards. He assured me that I would get an email with a full report. He checked the attic and went up to the roof. I assumed the roof was fixed. Guess what? No report from Semper Solaris as of this morning. And it started raining today and my roof is still leaking - I can hear the dripping in the bucket I left in the attic. Seriously wtf. read more

They screwed up my roof when they put the panels on. Came out to see if it was their fault that I had leaking They determined it was TGEIR FAULT and tried to fix it since it does NOT rain OFTEN in California I can't know if it is fixed until it rains. Next rain; LEAK IN SAME PLACE. This time they came out and removed the panels and "fixed" it. Next time it rained.. AGAIN SAME LEAK IN MY KITCHEN SAME SPOT. Now THEY DONT RETURN MY CALLS. I called them 6 days ago. And when I called back.. I have to start all over again. THIS WILL BE 3rd time. read more

Mark Ivory of Semper Solaris was extremely helpful & knowledgeable. We had existing panels that were older & not functioning at full capacity & Mark educated us on our option. BP read more

Great company. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Josh Demangelaere looked into an issue we had with our battery and got right back to us with information and assistance to make the best use out of our system. Josh went above and beyond to educate us on our system's usage, needs and even ways to best navigate the app. So grateful for a company that has great customer service and experience! read more

There was roof leaking after installing solar panel. After I reported the incident, Janice called within days and set up a repair appointment the next day. Brian came twice to work on the roof and made sure no more leakage seen during water test. Austin came later to repair the ceiling that was damaged by leaking rain water inside the house. Overall a great experience and really appreciated the crew's work read more

The installation of our new roof was smooth and quick. Cristian Jiménez was attentive to our needs and always available. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you, Christian. read more

Semper Solaris - Solar Installation Near Me - El Cajon, California

We we're in need of replacing our home and detached garage roofs. So I had my work cut out for me. I did a bunch or research and had a few companies come out and give us quotes. Semper Solaris being one of them. I really liked that they use Owen's corning and have a great warranty. Plus they are Vetran owned and ran. They had a sales representative call us. Dave was the one that reached out. We talked with him and he said he could do an an estimate and get back to us. We waited quite awhile for him to get back. At 1st I thought he was a flake and just forgot about us but he had a family emergency. So we let this slide as we all have had this happen. We finally got our 1st estimate. It seemed to good to be true. It was because he forgot to put in the wood cost. I was upset at first but it is what it is. So we got the 2nd estimate and it was a lot more do to the price of wood. The estimate was for tare off of 2 layers but because they didn't come out to check there was actually 3 layers. Dave was very understanding when I was upset about this because it was going to be extra. He was able to get them to waive the additional fees. (Very thankful for that) If you are going to get an estimate get it in person. I don't recommend as they did for us an Ariel view of our property. Because it didn't give them a proper view of everything. Our contact was written that they didn't have to remove our A/C unit with a crane. We made sure that they didn't have to. They reassured me numerous times that it could be done. Then right before they were suppose to start. They reach out and say nope can't start until we get a crane. I was so upset as I had been in contact with Dave for months getting everything ready for our start date. So this delayed our project as in our contract it clearly states that they don't need a crane. We even thought maybe we should just get a new A/C unit with them and the crane cost would factor in that cost. Had the A/C guys come out but they just saw more $$$$$$. They acted like we needed new everything. So we ditched that idea. Finally I had to tell Dave it's not our fault they promised and had it in writing that they could do this job without a crane. It delayed us more because I told him I'm already giving them all my savings for this reroof. He was very apologetic but we all know what sorry does. (A whole lot of nothing) We ended up reaching out to him telling him the job needed to start. So we are willing to pay half of the cost for the crane and that this is more than fair. He finally got back and said they would split the cost. Then they also said that they needed to make us a custom piece that holds the A/C which of course was an extra cost. Ended up being over 30,000 for the whole job. Our project was finally back on track. So the day of the project some other company shows up called West Coast roofing. I was like WTF it's suppose to be Semper Solaris. I call up Dave and he said we use subcontractors. So these guys tell us they do pretty much all of Semper Solaris's re-roofing projects. So if your thinking you are helping Veterans and that they will be doing the job at your home. You'd be wrong!!! No Veterans working on the re-roofing. The only Veterans we had on our project wad the A/C guys. So don't let them fool you with that Veterans crap. Now, the West Coast roofing guys were pretty much hard working. This project had some hiccups. They destroyed all my plants in the front with no regard. Also one of their guys had his foot go all the way through our sons room celing. It made a horrible mess and the project manager Miguel was a total flake. He was never on the job unless there was a problem that I called or texted him about. Then after they finished the job. Our garage and roof looks really good except for some shingles around our chimney. They left a few shingles around it not finished correctly. Because the last day it's like they didn't really put in quality work. As I could clearly see the mistakes. I called Miguel right away and he was no help. I literally had to hound him for months to come back and fix it. He came back and did a worse job! So there are a few shingles around the chimney that looks awful. He's definitely a flake and always had excuses for everything. I finally had it and complained to Dave. Dave asked me to wait a few months to see if the shingles lay flat. Unfortunately they still look like like a 5 year old layed them. So I will be contacting Dave about this again and hopefully he will have them fi it or refund me some $$$$ as we paid over 30,000. So it should have been done absolutely perfect but it's not. So I will keep you posted. read more

I own the solar system that Semper Solaris installed. I bought the current home I'm living in back in 2021. The previous owners leased the system and I paid it off in full once we moved in because leasing anything (especially solar) is an absolute rip-off. Fast forward to 2023 and I'm moving onto new and greater adventures and am currently in escrow to sell my house. Unfortunately, Semper Solaris truly couldn't care less about customer service. I've had to call and request the warranty information 4 different times. Sending emails, asking to speak to a manager, none of that will help. They will just tell you "our service department is on it" and chuckle a little bit and then hang up the phone. All I need is a copy of the warranty. That's it. I don't need blueprints, or plans or records or permits or blah blah. Just a copy of the warranty so I can pass it on to the new buyers lender. That's it. Simple. Buyer beware, I assure you their "service department" is definitely not on it. I'm sure when they were getting the previous owner to sign on the dotted line, there were zero issues. But all I can do is speak about the horrible customer service I'm getting......or not getting in this case. I'll update my review when/if I ever get a copy of it. read more

Christian and his Team (Jason and David) came out to replace the south side roof of my house. They did an amazing job. They even asked me if I had any questions or concerns, which I didn't. After the job was done, Christian came out and we both went on the roof to check his Team's workmanship. He answered all my questions and made recommendations for future roofing work. They did a fantastic job! My hat is off to Christian, Jason and David. Semper Solaris you have a great team. read more

BUYERS BEWARE!!!! This "Company" took nearly one full year to install my system. They were hired December 2022 and it's now Nov 15, 2023 and I still do not have a working Solar system. Beyond that they've taken "final payments" without my system up and running. Their communicate is awful at best, including the failure to notify me that we passed "final inspection". I have no access to my system and it's not producing ANY electricity for me yet they've taken via ACH every single penny from my $70k Solar job except a paltry $250 final fee. Their failure to communicate final inspection passing to me, or providing any proof of that didn't stop them from ACH debiting my bank account causing it to be overdrawn because my money is in an interest bearing account waiting to be transferred into the checking account. Run far far away from this company. You've been warned. read more

Had roof replaced, existing solar removed and reinstalled, then new HVAC. Not everything went perfectly the first time but Semper Solaris made everything right with some amazing customer service such as Janice Lee. Thank you for everything you have done to give me a roof and HVAC that will keep us warm and dry! read more

Rating based on current experience on getting work to be scheduled, not on actual result of job! still waiting for work start 4 months after my initial contact around Aug 2023. I had been contacting and corresponded to at least 5 people, i still do not have a confirmed date to start work. Resorting to this to see if i can get their attention Please help! Delay in getting your work schedule is currently resulting to chain effects of other works that needed to be done Hoping to get response and attention by posting this review! read more

Semper Solaris installed our solar panels 11 years ago, unfortunately our inverter stopped working so I called Semper Solaris Customer Service to inform them that something was wrong which was identified by a huge dollar increase from SDGE, after several calls to Semper Solaris and weeks for them to confirm that they installed our solar panel's and for them to see what type of inverter we had which was a Solar Edge inverter and under warranty I finally received a call from customer support informing me the the inverter replacement was approved and that Semper Solaris was waiting for the inverter to arrive. PRO'S -customer service was great once I was identified as a customer, the technician that came to install the new inverter was great, generating power once again was great. CON'S - They could not find information that we had Semper Solaris install our solar asking if I was sure that Semper Solaris was the company, I had to send a picture of our inverter to customer service because if it was one of the inverters they use to install was out of business and if wasn't a Solar Edge inverter I would have to pay for the inverter, it took almost two month's in the middle of summer to complete, it cost me $800 for the technician to install the inverter which took approximately two hours, veteran owned?? I'm not sure. Overall, I am happy with the work Semper Solaris did! Thank you MAGA! One last thing, Angie with Semper Solaris Customer Service was great, very professional, helpful and courteous, Thank you Angie! read more

I had a full HVAC system installed. Overall, great experience. The salesperson went a bit overboard with the original bid, but came back out of orbit and I got a good quote. The entire process took a little over three days. I think the supervisors name was Julio, regardless, he did great job and kept us apprised of the process. Neat and clean, no issues. Final inspection by the city was a piece of cake. read more

David Bell was extremely helpful in helping us setup our system to ensure it fit our families needs perfectly. We've had our system for a few years now trouble free and have came out each year perfectly net zero energy costs. This system was perfectly planned by Dave and his crew who came to do the install. Guys are professionals and took great care to clean up our house without leaving any sort of trash or debris behind. Highly recommend giving Dave and Semper a call for your solar needs. read more

Ive had my new HVAC and Solar system for over one year and it has saved me thousands of dollars and allowed us to live much more comfortably in our home. Rhami was my contact and representative and he guided me throughout the process and made me feel confident about my purchase. Our family was delighted with his professionalism and kind manner. I would additionally recommend Rhami & Semper Solaris to my friends and family. read more

This review is for Janice Lee and her roof repair crew of Omar and Jorge ONLY. Janice was great about following up with the repairs that needed to be done. Omar was the only one that pointed out that they broke roof tiles during solar install. Otherwise we never would have known. He and Jorge were quick and efficient on the day of repair. read more

Semper Solaris is a company that you can TRUST. What they say their going to do is one thing. The other thing they do is go out of their way to go above and beyond. The work performed was completed in half the time they said it would take. The roofing supervisor Mike Le went out of his way to come to my home and help move my dryer climb onto the roof and take apart the dryer vent and help clean 28 years of built-up lint. (I know what a stupid idea putting the vent on the roof). No longer is the dryer warning me to clean the vent. They are even giving me extra time to get the painting done before they put up the new gutters. I can't believe that there are still companies that believe that customer service is the second only to doing top-notch, A+ work that they can walk away knowing that they could not have done a better job if they tried. They really stand behind their motto, "Semper Fidelis." Always Faithful. In the Marine Corps, this means Always Faithful to the ideals of the Marine Corps and the country. For Semper Solaris, it means being faithful to your crew and your customer's needs. They have two tasks left to complete, clean the solar panels (next week) and put the gutters up after I paint. Never forget you get what you pay for, Semper Solaris is worth every penny and so much more. read more

Semper Solaris - Solar Installation Near Me - El Cajon, California

I second the review by Eugene. Our experience with semper has been at best negligent. Semper is also one of the more expensive options despite providing the same panels everyone else does. they say its because they have a great warranty, but if you don't trust the company, the warranty isn't useful. In addition to failing to notify us about sending unannounced men to our house when my wife was home alone, failing to alert us about changes that needed to be made even after their inspection (Which caused months of delays), poor communication, broken promises, failed follow up, we placed a negative review. they then asked us to take it down. i assume were not the only ones they asked to take down the negative review. we asked them about installing a battery because if another company does it, it voids the workmanship warranty. they declined to offer any more services because we didn't take down our negative review. theres a lot of solar companies. skip semper and choose one with integrity. read more

After reviewing a several Leasing vs. Purchase quotes. My wife and I decided on the Purchase option w/Semper Solaris Roofing and Solar for our project. They had an array of financing products, plus their pricing was very competitive. They also offered the best Workmanship and Warranty's on Roofing and Solar that we had seen. The Installers were on time and very helpful explaining each step, plus our Energy Consultant Phil Valverde was very professional, reviewed our billing and gave us the best recommendations regarding the sizing of our system. Not to mention he was always only phone call away to answer our question (and we had a lot:) I would highly recommend Semper Solaris for Roofing, Solar & Battery to any of our friends and family without reservation.

When Semper Solaris installed my solar panels five years ago, we did not replace our roof at the time. But with the heavy late winter rains, many of our neighbors developed leaky roofs and we decided it was better to be safe than sorry. So we called Mark Ivory to get the process started, and he assessed our roof, offered high quality shingles with a warranty and even matched the color for easy HOA approval. The process was easy and now our roof is worry free and our solar continues to save us money on our electrical bill read more
