    New electrical panel.
    Debra D.

    I had my electrical panel moved and upgraded. They came recommended by a friend who's an electrician and they were lower than the other bid I received. Communication was excellent with office and on-site people (stucco repair person - there's room for communication improvement). Scheduling was efficient and all needed info was provided/explained thoroughly. Coordination with SDG&E was seamless and their work done with a Smith employee on-site so I didn't get stuck in the middle. Smith coordinated as needed with my chosen solar installer and never tried to pressure me to use them for solar (I'm sure they would be great). They are a top notch team from the office staff to the owner, Dave Smith. Room for improvement: Stucco repair person - please ask where you can rinse out/clean up. I didn't appreciate the stucco "clean up area" selected was my newly planted/mulched area in the front. I had to go back in and clean up the area to get rid of all the stucco sludge and hose off the plants that got sludge on them. Other than that - thrilled. Thanks!

    That's the work truck that came to do the major part of the work. Thank you.

    Finding a solar company is easy. However, finding a solar company that meets your expectations and…read moreexceeds them is rare and that is what Solar Tech Energy provided us. We are extremely grateful that our Sales representative Sam Johnson was there to provide us with great service from the beginning of the project to the end. Crystal Rojas kept us informed of the scheduling, financing and what step the project was in. When installation day came, we could not have had a better crew than Francisco's crew. On the hottest day of the summer his crew installed our solar panels and Powerwall with limited power interruptions. They cleaned up before they left leaving no trace of being there. During our final inspection Eric Rojas prepped the equipment for the final inspection. His attention to detail was instrumental in passing our inspection. Great service for a great price.

    I'm going to add myself to the chorus of people telling you to move on and not deal with this…read morecompany. Like many others, the service provided by this company is disappointing and far below even the most basic expectations. Ask yourself if it's worth getting a solid system only to have no one respond to emails, maybe get lucky to get a call back, have issues with your system that you were never informed of.. and on and on. My case is still open so I will update this if my concerns get addressed, but as of now, 2 stars is generous. The biggest disappointment? They can't talk to you enough until you pay them. Then you are basically ghosted. For me.. Lots of contact with sales and service until payment then no response. Installation was fine. Then someone came out weeks later and said my system wasn't working so he was fixing it. No one had bothered to tell me. The product is good, the service is honestly terrible once you pay. So I'd look somewhere else if I was shopping solar. I got burned on this one. Don't be as naive as me. Stay away.

    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.

    I do not recommend this company, I wanted to cancel my agreement because they postponed install…read moredate on more than one ocasion, they wouldn't refund my $1,000 deposit even though they were not complying with the agreement, life got busy and I could not pursue filing in small claims court but after hearing about the experience others had with the company (a nightmare), I realized losing a $1,000 was very little compared to what others experienced, not a reliable company because if they couldn't fulfil the timeline they should have offered to cancel and refund deposit, very disappointing. 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.

After the roof company mishandled my solar panels Bruce and his guys installed, he analyzed the issue and came over to adjust the system. The issue was fixed and now the system is working as before the roof replacement! Many thanks to Bruce. I definitely recommend San Diego Solar Install for anyone's solar installation.

    I reached out to several companies for solar and battery quotes since I'll be under NEM 3.0, and it…read morejust made sense to include batteries as part of the system. Out of all the companies I contacted, San Diego Solar Install offered the best overall solar + battery package for the price. I initially reached out through their website and received a prompt response from Bruce, the owner. He's extremely personable, takes the time to answer every question, and genuinely addresses any concerns. He's one of the rare solar professionals who truly cares about his customers rather than just making a sale. Chad, Ian, and the rest of the installation team did a meticulous job installing both the solar panels and batteries, all within a tight timeline. The quality of their work really shows--see the attached photos for yourself. As I'm writing this at night, my home is running entirely off the Enphase batteries with zero power being pulled from the grid, which really highlights how well the system is performing. The other Yelp reviews definitely don't lie!

    ***Educational and Reliable***…read more I received 4 bids from 4 companies for my parent's house for roofing solar and battery. Yash by far exceeded all expectations with a non pressure educational approach. He showed step by step installation methods, helped me understand the new laws that passed and credits for the federal ITC. EZ Solar has all 3 licenses for B General , C10 electrical and C39 roofing and they don't subcontract either. I didn't know that was a thing. Also important to note he's not a sales agent, he is certified as the battery installer and the solar project manager, with constant communication and one point of contact. He even gave me a spreadsheet to help compare companies. We are happy to report the roofing and solar with battery was installed ahead of schedule and we are extremely happy.

I initially felt I wasn't communicated with enough but I know they were busy. I wanted my solar up and running before Dec 2025 and they did make it happen. Michael did the installation and was amazing. Here is my warning. IF they try to sell you EP Cube solar, there are two issues I am dealing with. 1. the fan turns on every morning, rain or shine at 6:15am. My battery is right outside my bedroom and wakes me up. It is how the system works and it can't and won't be changed. 2. the fan runs ALL day. It might stop for a short bit but basically it runs continually during the warm part of the day. 3. I am happy to report it is quiet at night. When I shared my experience and concerns with E Z, I was pretty much ghosted except by Max. Dealing with EP Cube support has been great. But it is what it is. AND finally, don't let them talk you out of Solar Insure - the company that will insure you system. I got amazing assistance from them while I was trying to understand the noise issue. I was "told" I didn't need it but it was the smartest thing I did. Good luck !

    Semper Solaris was a fantastic partner to work with for my new roof and solar project. Paul was a…read moregreat first impression of what Semper was all about! He was super professional and was very detailed oriented. I loved our first meeting where he presented our options and made everything very easy to understand. He was always quick to respond to any and all questions I had through out the entire process. Christian our roof lead and Cynthia our solar lead were also fantastic. Christian was great to work with when there were a few minor issues that he quickly resolved. Really felt like we received the white glove treatment end to end. Everything was so smooth from the initial consult to getting the permission to operate from SDGE. Highly recommend!

    Semper Solaris literally has the worst customer service I've ever dealt with. Complete…read moreincompetence. As for other reviews I've seen, the issue is communication. Sure my solar power system works but the rest of the electrical in my house has been a mess every since the install and they are disinterested in my opinions or concerns. The only thing they are interested in is getting "off the hook" for any potential warranty claims. I strongly encourage you to go elsewhere for your solar needs. You'll regret working with them. Here's verbatim my last communication with Semper Solaris Customer Service. You may judge for yourselves: "K**** *******y, I'm at the end of my tolerance for Semper Solaris' / Semper Homes' lack of competence in customer service and support. Trust me when I tell you that I don't expect much and your business has repeatedly managed to underwhelm me and put the burden on me as a customer. The issue I've been dealing with is approaching 1-year in duration without resolution. I appreciate your team looking at the photos I provided, but when your electrician was dispatched to my residence they showed up without any warning or courtesy call. I raced home from work to let him in to see the electrical panel and he spent maybe 2 minutes on-site. His diagnosis was that perhaps the breaker needed to be changed and that would fix the problem of the circuit breaker tripping every time we used the exhaust fan above the stove. The exhaust fan worked properly from 2019 until Semper installed the solar and charger. He never returned to switch out the breaker and never called with an update on the status of my issue. Additionally, no one from Semper ever called to follow up other than an uninformed representative who asked if she could close out the "open ticket". I explained that I was still waiting for assistance and not to close it. No one ever reached out to me after this. I left at least two voicemail messages with customer service and still no one checked in with me. Today I called again and after waiting on hold for 10 minutes only to speak with an answering service which couldn't even relay my message to you because I couldn't provide a "Case Number" which I was never provided by you nor anyone else at Semper. This is your last opportunity to finally resolve this issue. I'll give you 24 hours to respond. I never write negative reviews and I'm very understanding but I'm very motivated to write a lengthy 0 star review about my horrendous experience dealing with your firm. Semper's communication outside of ****** (sales rep) has been abysmal."
