We've had our home 12.4kW panel + 30kWh battery system for about a year and it's been working great. I didn't know much about solar when I started looking into it back in July 2025. I had called a few installers and talked with the usual door knocking suspects, but none of them took the time to explain the details, options, and costs as clearly as Blake did. The great thing about Blake is that he really enjoys designing systems that work well, fit your needs, and save you money. The other quotes I got felt like cookie cutter systems, usually too small, not specific to our needs, and quite expensive. All said and done, conservatively speaking, we save about $250/month. And we all know costs have gone up since then. SHS Power isn't a huge company and they're genuinely interested in finding the right solution for you. For example, they installed a smart car charger that charges our EV with excess solar generated. Normally, that power would be sent back to SDGE, but with NEM 3.0 it's really not worth the trouble. If it works for your schedule, it's a game changer. Finally, I've heard some horror stories about systems that were installed, but couldn't get passed by the inspectors. I was super impressed with Dominic's ability to know what the inspectors were looking for and how to "speak their language". Passed on the first go. It was a small detail rather than something that was a terrible never ending blocker. If you've ever had to deal with government inspections, you know what I'm talking about. Every member of the team was professional and knowledgeable, every step of the process was done well. I can't recommend the team at SHS Power highly enough. If you're even thinking about getting solar, call SHS Power. read more

We've now used SHS Power on two homes, and they nailed it both times. Home #1 (San Diego): They handled everything ... design, permits, and the full install of a Sol-Ark 15K with three Renon 16kWh batteries and an EG4 Chargeverter to add battery backup to our existing Enphase system. The work was so clean that the city inspector took photos to show his colleagues back at the office. The system has run flawlessly, and it was designed so I could expand it later ... which I did. Home #2 (Temecula): This time I wanted to do some of the work myself. I handled the racking and mounting of the equipment, and SHS did the other parts ... all the wiring and configuration of two EG4 FlexBoss 21 inverters, a GridBoss, and four 16kWh batteries for whole-home backup. Also, they consulted on the permitting and design... huge help. That flexibility is what really sets them apart. They'll do full turnkey if that's what you want, but they're also willing to work with homeowners who want to do some of their own labor or buy their own equipment. Most solar companies won't touch a job like that. Blake and his crew are awesome, local, honest, and their workmanship is top notch. Raphy knows his stuff. If you're in SoCal and doing solar and or batteries, these are your people. read more

They came the same day and on time and were extremely knowledgeable. They quickly figured out the issue and explained everything clearly. I appreciated that they focused on fixing the problem without pushing unnecessary services or upsells. Honest, professional, and highly recommended! read more

Blake and his team were efficient and able to get us everything we wanted for a price that was reasonable! We wanted 42 panels and 4 Tesla batteries and they delivered! We would definitely use them for any other solar needs we have. read more

They are working on a solution to help me get my Sun Power battery back online. It's been offline for months and want it to be back online for the summer before we start to get power outages read more

We had a fantastic experience with SHS Power. They're extremely knowledgeable and really look at your long-term needs, not just the immediate install. They set us up for off-grid readiness and even installed a backup switch so if anything ever comes up in the future, we can go straight to the grid without any stress. The system is incredibly smart -- it even monitors weather patterns and will pre-charge the battery overnight (when power is cheapest) if cloudy weather is coming so you're never caught without backup. The crew was professional, the install was clean, and the communication every step of the way was excellent. It's rare to find a company that plans ahead for you and genuinely cares about getting it right -- we highly recommend SHS Power. read more

SHS Power - Solar Installation Near Me - Chula Vista, California

After two years of looking at vendors, I found SHS - a solar / battery storage installer I really like and trust. Look in the photos for the 1st electric bill after the installation. I had to underline May - there's no bar above that month because the house hasn't used any electricity from the grid since the day SHS switched on the system. Today, it was 90 degrees here in Escondido, CA. The AC was free all day and night, and I can set that thermostat anywhere I want! SHS was the 4th company to come out to the house and the only one that had the equipment brands I had heard about and that could move things along at a decent pace. They are a full-service energy company, not just solar and batteries. The company is veteran owned. When Blake first came to the house, I thanked him for his service. Blake, Nate, and Ralphy are incredible! They installed one 14kwh battery (See photo). Glad I didn't have to lift it! The whole system can go outside too. It was going to be too close to my trash cans so I asked for it to be inside. My home was built in 1993, and you wouldn't believe what a mess Ralphy had to sort out in the Challenger service panel (circuit breaker box). What a rat's nest. Now it's clean and tidy with all new breakers. They helped me avoid installing those "Solar Ready" panels for $4100. I had my heart set on EG4 electronics inverters and batteries. SHS knows that product like the back of their hands. The equipment is hardened against EMPs. I hope never to test that! But it feels good to have. And during power outages, my family will be comfortable with lights, intranet, and AC (until it "load sheds" at 50% battery remaining). I chose the best reviewed solar panel to put on the roof - REC Alpha Pure RX. Ridiculously performant. More than anyone needs to spend to get the job done, really. But SHS goes through all that... what panels make sense for you. Specs: 13 REC Alpha Pure RX 460-watt panels EG4 12kPV Inverter - 12k watts of solar handling, 8 kilowatts production at 240 volts, color LCD screen, remote monitoring EG4 14kWh all-weather battery SHS also does battery retrofits into existing systems, which can make a difference depending on what NEM agreement is in play. SHS took care of permitting, which I absolutely refuse to do. I can't stand working with the county.... makes me miserable. SHS just did all that, and fast! read more

Blake and his team were great! They were attentive, clean, and thorough from start to finish. There are a lot of companies out there, but I went with Blake because of his professionalism, knowledge, and for keeping my families best interest in mind. Top notch customer service! Definetly recommend SHS for any of your solar needs. read more

Dominic installed a ceiling fan for us. First rate electrician. In addition, he is a first-rate man to work with and charged a reasonable fee. Extremely happy we chose this company. read more

Very positive experience with this solar and battery project vendor. One tip for homeowners considering solar: there are many "brokers" who act as intermediaries between you and the actual provider. This is not one of them -- they handle both project planning and execution. My recommendation is to avoid brokers - they tend to know less and have less control over the outcome (and generally quote higher prices). Great crew, clean install. It's been about eight months since the work was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. Power was recently cut from 9 PM to 9 AM, and my battery backup handled it beautifully. The reduction in electricity costs has been exactly as predicted. I also really appreciate that post-sale support has been excellent. Highly recommended! read more

I highly recommend SHS Power! Blake answered the phone immediately, scheduled the appointment, arrived onsite within a couple of hours, solved the issue, and followed up with a professional email, with a report! Outstanding Service! Thank you Blake! read more

Great company. Dominic is very knowledgeable and professional and he was a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend SHS.

One of San Diego's best I was desperate to relieve myself from $1000+ SDGE bills every month. So I reached out to several solar companies to find a solution. I found many who were quite willing to overcharge and oversell. Imagine my surprise when I found a company who actually showed up to my house to talk through my power needs. Imagine my happiness when their estimate came in 10s of thousands of dollars UNDER the others. And, finally imagine the satisfaction of talking to an engineer from the company who help me make sense of the bid they made and how it would actually save me money. That company is SHS Power. I even had a whole home generator from the SDGE program, and they were able to integrate it into the system. GENIUS!!! Remember those SDGE bills I had? The system that SHS designed FOR ME has eliminated those bills completely!!! I am a solar nerd now, checking my solar system from the app, and laughing all the way to the bank! Thank you SHS Power!!! read more

I got an inverter, battery and car charger installed to augment my solar array by Blake and his team. From start to finish they had great customer service and I'm really pleased with the result. The battery works great and has dramatically reduced my power consumption. I would highly recommend SHS Power. read more

I worked with Blake on getting a new roof and solar. He spent a lot of time with me over the phone talking about the process and cost/benefit of different things. Blake was prompt in responding to my questions. The cost of the solar was one of the lowest quotes I got for purchase . They did all the permits and paper work for me without issue. One big perk with working with Blake is he is able to get you the federal tax credit up front. You don't need to front the money and get it back as a tax credit (you need to owe taxes). The reroof and solar installation started on a Monday and finished the next Monday. They get things done fast. The system was up and running that Monday. We got approval to export to the grid on Thursday. This was a lot faster than I expected and a lot smoother than the stories I've read about solar installations online. Speaking with someone else in SD that recently got solar. It seems my system has more value and has less hiccups. I would recommend Blake and his team. Currently working with Blake to get another battery installed because of really good pricing. read more

These guys are amazing. First of all, Blake didn't try to oversell and his price was about 20% less than the other veteran-owned company, even though the other company was going to use my old inverter. I wanted to add about 50% more capacity plus a battery to my existing solar system without jeopardizing my NEW 1.0 status, and they did more than that! I'm getting about 60% more power than before and the battery is amazing. I had decided to replace my shingle roof and SHS removed my old solar panels in one day just before the roofers came. The week after the roofers were done, they showed up and in two days they reinstalled the old panels, installed new panels, new inverter and battery. They completed everything in two days before the sun had set! My neighbor waited months for his solar installation. They also did an amazing job squeezing the six new panels on a corner of the roof where there is no shading. If you want to upgrade like me, or for new solar, don't consider anyone other than Blake and his team at SHS Solar. read more

I used SHS a few years back to hang some TV'S and run some wiring. They did a great job so I called them to add some extra solar panels to my existing installation. The reason was that my bill was slowly creeping up again and we recently traded our gas-powered car for a Tesla. Not only did they add a few panels at a reasonable cost, they suggested a battery backup which would allow me to reduce my power bill to almost zero. All I did was send shs power to my electric bill and they figured out it will take 4 years for me to recover my investment in full. The best was when they had a shipping delay and it took a few extra weeks to get the batteries delivered, they apologized and threw in a car charger install for free. If you are tired of power outages and ever increasing SDG&E bills look into battery back up. Outstanding service! Thanks a lot! read more

We used SHS power to install and wire 4 post lights and 4 pier-mounted lights in our backyard. We had a great experience working with Dominic and Blake. They put in the time to learn about what we wanted and provided professional recommendations on the best ways to execute. We will use them again for any future projects and will also be recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you! read more

Blake, Dominic, and their team were amazing. Super responsive, professional, and were able to complete several projects in our old home that had all sorts of funky wiring that they had to sort through. Total project included can lighting in the office, fixing and wiring 3 broken outlets, and hanging new light fixtures. They even did us a solid by fixing two light fixtures for free! read more

Professional-Knowledgeable-Efficient Rainer's team did an incredible job assisting our office with a full install of DirecTV/Phones/Wireless.

Called them to take care of 2 satellite dishes. One was mounted on the inside of the chimney. Although they said it was going to be tricky, they were able to take it down no problem. No damage to chimney or roof. All holes were sealed. Looks like the satellites were never there. Job well done. read more

Rainer and his team continue to remain at the top of their game. First used their services over three years ago when I initially relocated San Diego. They installed my DIRECTV. This was done very carefully and neatly. There is no difference in cost between using them versus DIRECTV own installers. ( really foolish not to use them). This is one of the best decisions I've made. Since the original install, they regularly check in to make sure everything is working well and in order. They are easily reachable and quickly responsive. For the third year in a row I used their services to advocate getting my monthly bill lowered. They continue to be successful with this. This year they saved me over $1400. This is significant money that I would've just either had to cancel service and have the inconvenience of getting a new Provider or just deal with paying extra money. Synchronized Home Solutions is a hidden gem. read more

After spending another hour on the phone with TW and not getting anything accomplished I finally decided to switch to Satellite. After reading some of the posts on this board I decided to look for a local dealer near me on the Directv website. I found a company in Poway, Synchronized Home Solutions and gave them a call. They came to my home went over everything, gave me some options on where the satellite could be mounted and I decided to go with them. I was worried about the satellite being visible from the street or by backyard but the SHS guys tucked it away in a corner behind some bushes where it cant be seen. I did not pay anything up front got installed the next day and they even hung my new flat screen for me. The owner gave me his personal cel phone number and told me to call him before I call Directv's 800 number if I even has any questions or issues! Could not be more happy with my choice, the genie dvr system is amazing and my son who is away for college can watch my Directv on his computer! read more

SHS Power - My new direct TV satelite - Solar Installation Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was a long time cable consumer and I just didn't know what I was missing. I finally had it with my cable company after a recent incident which led me to do some research on DTV. I chose DTV over Dish because of sports. I had the option of calling DTV toll free or going to a big box retailer and talking to their reps but in doing so I wouldn't have a say on who my installer would be. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CALL THESE GUYS WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR DTV!@!@ You get the same offer you would through the toll free but more importantly you get a PROFESSIONAL CREW who knows how to install it the right way. If you VALUE a CLEAN INSTALLATION call these guys. The reality is putting a dish up on a roof is about as unsightly as it can get AND yet the installation solution that was presented and accomplished was very impressive. I live in an HOA and all my neighbors have dishes with wires exposed; quite frankly I don't know how they got theirs approved. I admire their honesty and passion; it's quite apparent to me that the crew enjoys what they do and are respectful of people's property. I will update this review accordingly. read more

Rainer and his team are true pros! My tenants were upset that they weren't getting TV after I had problems with my cable TV set up in my Encinitas house. I called up Ranier and he showed up the next day and installed a satellite system and made everything work. Problem solved... my tenants are happy and so am I. Thanks Rainer! read more

Excellent customer serviced. Quick and easy. I will be referring them out to all of my friends and family.

We originally signed up for DirecTV installed through Synchronized Home Solutions a San Diego local dealer years ago. They kept in touch and helped us over the phone a few time with and equipment issue and some billing questions. Our bill had gotten pretty high and when I called Rainer to see what he thought about cutting the cord altogether he told me not to worry he would work out a deal for us. Turns out he helped us lower the bill significantly, got us free NFL Sunday ticket and swapped our old DirecTV receivers for free new 4K models. I could not be more satisfied with the service we receive from Rainer and his team. Staying a happy DirecTV customer. Thanks so much! read more

We had Dominic do some in wall wiring in our new house. He did a phenomenal job. Talking to him, you'll see right away that he is not only exceptionally smart, but he is a geniuine good guy. He spent multiple days working on our house and made sure everything was perfect. I am pretty nitpicky and was really nervous to have someone start drilling holes in our brand new home. He treated our house as if it were his own. He never took shortcuts and really made a point to get everything how we wanted it. He explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. He stayed late working on our house on multiple weekend days and was as pleasant and hard working at 8 PM and he was when he started at 8 AM. He clearly enjoys what he does and has a ton of experience in construction. He provided me with a lot of other ideas for the house. When someone takes pride in their work, it really shows. He is a craftsman and and loves what he does. Regardless of whether he is running a single cable for your satellite dish or setting your whole house entertainment system, I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Thank goodness I found SHS Power (on Yelp). I'm a senior and live in an apartment. Well, I needed a ceiling fan replacement because what was there was a dinky little one and it really needed replacing. I wasn't sure if they handled that kind of electrical work, so I took a chance, messaged them and I'm so glad I did. Blake replied immediately and answered all my important questions. We then spoke on the phone which is always a plus as far as I'm concerned. Blake was professional, nice and made an appointment for me within 2 days which I wanted and the time I liked. On the date of my appointment Dominic called beforehand to let me know he was on his way. He arrived on time and did an excellent job! Dominic is professional, polite, friendly and all the good things you can say about a person. He even picked up after himself, big plus. This really is a good business; I would most definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a job well done, and I will recommend them to friends. Thank you, gentlemen, my apt. is now cooler during this retched heat wave. read more

Just spoke to the team to get our ATT internet setup. They advised we could do it for much less by going through ATT directly even though we have used them in the past, saving us $100 this time. That sort of honestly and helpfulness is so rare these days they deserve the recognition. The first time they came out two years back it was a great experience. Use them!! read more

Recently went to Costco to buy a new 4k TV and started chatting with the Directv guy there about the service. He informed me that Directv was the only cable provider currently that offered 4k channels and after doing the math he gave me a quote for tv and Internet that saved me about $100 over my current cox bundle. The first tech that showed up had literally no clue, he seemed he just got out of high school and after about an hour another tech showed up. I did not want the mount o the side of our house so the only place they said it could be mounted was the chimney. I reluctantly agreed and went inside for conference call that took about 90 minutes. When I went back out to check on the install they had place the dish on the outside of my chimney at the most visible place hanging over my patio. Not only did it looked like they tried another spot first and changed their minds but left the base for that mount stuck in the side of my chimney, see before picture. At this point I was so frustrated they had been here for almost 5 hours now that I gave up. They said that they were not able to hide the dish on the back of my chimney and could not run the lines on the inside of my attic but had to run them on the outside of my house. White lines wrapped around my house horrible dish installation maximum visibility. I called customer service but they said they would not come out and fix it.So I went online and found Synchronized home solutions on here with great reviews. They came out switched me to wireless receivers so no wires needed moved the dish from the front of the chimney out of sight to the back and removed the extra foot the Directv installers had left. Rainer, the owner, gave me his personal cell phone number in case I had any issues or questions in the future. If I had only known that there is a local Directv dealer like this I would have gotten my service through them and avoided the stress and the extra money I paid them to fix what Directv had messed up originally. They don't charge for installation, Directv pays them! I love supporting good local small business and have already referred a friend and my parents to get a bundle through Synchronized. read more

I needed a DTV dish and associated cables removed from my 2nd story roof. A Google search gave me three options in San Diego. One was a disconnected number, one gave me a bid of almost $300. I went with Rainer for less than half of that. The job was finished the next day. Rainer kept me updated, did a great job, hauled away the old dish, cleaned up and made payment easy. Best of all, I don't have to look at any satellite junk cluttering up my roof. read more

After extremely high winds in Ramona, I was losing signal on several HD channels. Since I don't have the DirecTV Protection Plan, I did not want to deal with DirecTV tech support and have to go through many diagnostic steps before a service call was initiated for which I would have to pay $49.95. The problem was obviously that the dish got out of alignment. I contacted my original installer who said that he is usually not in Ramona. I then called Synchronized Home Solutions on Monday 3/13/2017, but Rainer Zach (the owner) said that his minimum charge was $95 because of sending a tech all the way to Ramona. I then told him that it would only be $49.95 through DirecTV and we left it that if he had a service call in my area, he would only charge me $50; he would call me the next day with his service schedule. I thought I would never hear from him again as I knew this was not a money maker for Rainer. To my surprise Rainer called me a couple of days later after he said he would and right away apologized for not getting back to me sooner. Who apologizes for not getting back to a customer nowadays? I was floored. Rainer said that Pete would come over and re-align my dish on Saturday 3/18/2017 morning. To my surprise it was Dominic, Rainer's business partner, who showed up. Dominic was extremely pleasant, friendly and made sure all my HD channels were working with a strong signal before he left. He even showed me the very strong signal numbers through the DirecTV on-screen diagnostics on my TV. It was so much easier dealing with Rainer and Dominic than DirecTV. Dominic even said that if I had any future questions or issues to give him a call. Thank you, Rainer and Dominic for doing such a wonderful job on a business transaction that I know did not make you a lot of money. Your Customer Service was incredible. I hope my yelp review helps your business. Jason Wood read more

Ranier and his staff are incredible.

As we prepared for our recent move, I was extremely concerned about moving our television. Our new place didn't allow for rolling over our current television service and we would have to install another local provider or DirecTV. I had heard many concerns about the local provider and was a DirecTV customer years ago. Well, I made one of our best decisions during this moving process and contacted Synchronized Home Solutions. Rainer was so helpful, accommodating and patient with all my questions in regard in regard to installation and service. He came to our new town home to examine and also provide helpful information to our HOA for installation. I was so impressed when Rainer explained that if there were any issue with installation or reception problems, he was the person who we would contact for ongoing service needs. No more hours awaiting for AT&T to handle issues. Ramon was the technician who was dispatched to install the dish and connect to our TVs. He spent time after installing and setup to walk us through use of the remote. Ramon was one of the most polite, helpful and knowledgeable installers I've ever been associated with. Synchronized Home Solutions is a can't miss opportunity and I would highly recommend! read more

These guys are good! I called to ask about their service, and Dominic explained everything really clearly. I made an appointment, and Rainer showed up on time and explained the best options for my house. It was installed in a couple of hours and works really well. I've had a couple of questions since then, and Rainer always gets back to me quickly. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this company to anyone interested in DIRECTV. read more

I ordered Directv through their 800 number and was sorely disappointed. The installer seemed like he was right out of tech school and seemed like he wasn't comfortable doing the install because we had the older type wiring and I wanted the Dish put on the back of the house instead of right by the front door. He flat out declined to do the job and recommended to look for a local retailer. We found one close by in Poway, Synchronized Home Solutions and talk about accommodating! They came out for a consultation, we discussed the wiring and they said it was not an issue and they would run new lines free of charge. We also agreed on a inconspicuous placed in the back of the garage for the dish to be placed which is not visible from the street or our backyard. Their customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced and they came out free of charge after the installation to bring us a new remote after our dog got a hold it and chewed it up. As for DirecTV itself, it's the best TV service I've experienced. The guide is user-friendly, it has all my channels, and the quality is amazing. On top of that I am saving $40 a month over TWC. They also recommended us to stay with TWC for the internet and phone and said any issues we have would be resolved after the TV was removed and would free up bandwidth. They even coached us on how to get the best rate from TWC for the remaining services once we disconnected the TWC TV portion. Highly recommended! read more

Direct tv apparently doesn't pick up their dishes after you cancel the service, so I found this highly rayed local direct tv dealer Rainer Zach Synchronized Home Solutions on yelp who took down the dish , deposed of it, eliminated all cables in and out and closed the hole that was drilled to get the cable i side. Very reasonable and he even offers this for free to people who sign up for new service with him. Thank you so much!!! read more
