Trust those who Yelp regularly... As we see this solar market skyrocket with a thousand solar installers in California, it's nice to see there's a "Broker" who can work with any of them. SoCal Solar Brokers gets multiple bids and presents them to customers, so the client ultimately makes the decision as to who they want to go with. Alan Jehamy procures discounted pricing to bring the installation companies lots of business, and SoCal Solar Brokers becomes the sales team. I like this business concept... kinda like Lending Tree and others who make the bidders cut pricing for your job. Recommended read more

I have been looking to install solar because my SDGE bill is so high every month. The work was done on time, at a wonderful price, and his crew was courteous and professional and neat. After the installation a member of his team met with me to review the software operation. I was worried about my clay tile roof but they did a great job and everyone loves the look of my system including myself. My electricity bill is now about $9 per month and our payback period is less than 5.2 years! I compared a lot of prices and quotes before working with John at Socal Solar Brokers. read more

I spoke with multiple solar companies while shopping for solar, and Alex at SoCal Solar Brokers was head and shoulders above the rest. I especially appreciated that as a broker, Alex is able to focus on your best interest. Where some solar install companies are focused on a specific brand or inverter setup, Alex tailored the proposed solution to what he thought was best for my installation, and was flexible as we discussed possible hardware options, layouts and the like. He also took the time Zoom (in the time of Covid) with me on multiple occasions, walking through different proposal options, and was always responsive over email as well. Couldn't recommend highly enough! read more

Alex Margolies really went above and beyond! My wife and I knew little to nothing, other than we were unhappy with our monthly electric bill and would like to reduce our carbon footprint! He sent me a zoom presentation breaking down literally every aspect! Different financing options, comparative companies, etc... He was on top of the lenders, the contractors, literally we did nothing. It was a dream. The process was quick, painless and I want to say in under two months we were done with that SDGE $500 plus monthly bill! To top it all off he sent a thank you card and welcome to the world gift for our new daughter! HIGHLY recommend (I already have to several people and will continue)!!! read more

I did the solar dance 2 -3 times and never pulled the trigger. It was difficult understanding the different quotes from all the different solar companies. Alan's company works with you on sizing and gets quotes from various solar companies to help you get the best price and install. It made my decision a lot easier and ended up being significantly cheaper that the quotes I had recieved in the past. We are now moving (unexpectedly ) to a new home and will be using these guys again. read more

Wade designed a great solar system for us, with 16 all black panels (that look awesome!), and enough production to more than cover our power consumption for the year. We also needed a main panel upgrade and Wade recommended a great local installer who was also a licensed electrician. I'm a big stats nerd, so I'm really enjoying all the panel and consumption monitoring. SoCal Solar Brokers is top notch! read more

If you're considering going Solar these guys are the best! I've been looking to go solar for awhile but because of the unusual roofing tiles on my house several other Solar companies said they would not be able to install. SoCal Solar Brokers and Alan came recommended to me from a friend and they found a way to make it happen for us. I found Alan was very knowledgeable about the solar industry and since he is a "solar broker" he is able to represent more than one company/product, he showed us several different programs and we picked one that went best with our needs and our roof. I work from home a lot and it's a great feeling running the AC during the day and knowing it's not running up my electric bill. Thanks Alan! read more

Alan Jehamy is the best person to contact if you are considering going Solar. The most friendly explaining all the pros and cons of every single company and not pushing at all as other brokers. Not only followed up all the time but after he installation and steup he has provided the best follow up service. Dont try any other broker he is the best read more

We received exceptional service from Alex Margolies with SoCal Solar Brokers when we recently had solar installed on our home in Poway. Alex is extremely knowledgable, responsive, and friendly! We did a lot of research before learning about Alex's services, and based on that are confident he was able to get us the best price on our system, by far. Working with Alex made the whole process so much easier and faster than we expected it to be. The system looks and works great. We HIGHLY recommend him for your next solar project! read more

We used SoCal Solar brokers last fall to find a solar system for us. There are just so many options available for solar, and quite a few iffy companies, so having a company like SoCal Solar find out what you actually need and then go out and find the right products and installation company for your home is very, very helpful. Working with Michael Faelin was great - very knowledgeable, ethical, and diligent. Highly recommended. We are now on our 4th straight month of selling electricity back to SDGE and that is the greatest feeling of all. read more

I contacted Alex from so cal brokers to help us find a good deal for Solar and I am so happy to say that from the beginning to the end he was patient and educated about offering us the correct advice and pointing in the right direction when choosing a solar company. Our house is huge and energy usage is high. Alex took all the time to research into all the local and big dealers who contacted us with their offer for the solar system designs and helped us choose the best for us. Please contact Alex at this company if you guys need a fair and honest opinion about your solar needs. Very prompt in communication and respectful to our decisions. They do not force you to choose their partners but give you all the right options at the same time trying to provide you with the best value for the money in the market. Best Wishes. read more

I did some investigation into solar power and became confused on how to proceed, which direction to go, which panels to use,etc. I was going to call around to different company's but did not have time. We were in a middle of an indoor remodel so I told my contractor about my interest in solar power and a new roof. He referred me to Alan Jehamy at So Cal solar brokers. Wow Alan was so helpful. We promptly met, he did an assessment of my power needs. Alan came up with multiple options in: pros and cons in buying vs leasing, types of panels, list of companies, # of panels needed and much more. All this and he is reimbursed for his services by the companies he recommends. Not once did I feel he did not have my best interest at hand. Just the opposite I really felt Alan was going to bat for me. He got multiple bids and recommended requesting guarantees and monitoring service. Alan always responded promptly to my calls and texts even on the weekends. If you have any interest in going solar giving Allen at SoCal Solar Brokers a call is a must! read more

Working with Alan Jehamy to procure our solar system from American Energy was an awesome experience! Alan was more than patient with my wife and I as he brought us up-to-speed on the newest of technologies, the latest local regulations and codes, and some great companies to choose from. He is extremely professional and easy to work with. His communications are very prompt and he exudes a great passion for his job. We are more than happy and confident to refer him to other potential customers (and we have) knowing that he will spend the time necessary to get you setup with the best system, at the best price, and with a high-quality installation contractor. We purchased our system with 300 watt panels, microinverters, and the chilicon wifi control/performance panel. The system has worked flawlessly with continued high-production. Very pleased!!! I think we have paid maybe $30 to SDGE in total for electricity over the past year when our bills used to average $200 - $250/month. Give Alan a chance and he will definitely exceed your expectations and make your solar buying experience a lot less painful than it needs to be given the amount of players in the game these days... read more

John helped me learn a lot about solar and how much it could benefit my financial status. I was kind of blind going into it when everyone said it was a good idea. He was very easy to talk to and very knowledgable on the subject and made me more comfortable in the long run. Thanks John for your help! read more

Was contacted by Mario early during the summer. Shopped around and decided I liked how he presented this company. They setup everything, got the plans together, the financing, the installation company. Installation finally happened in the beginning of September. Now I'm in a perpetual loop where I call Solcius every Friday to hear the same speech about them working with the inspector. I'm now making payments for a system that doesn't work and there is no end in sight. Called and left numerous messages for people at Sun Nerds. Including Chase and Mario. Never a returned call. When they promise that they are your single point of contact it's a blatant lie. In fact I got a text from Sun Nerds inquiring about a previous contact and they wanted to talk to me about my solar needs...so they'll sell me another system but can't remember I'm already a customer and return my call. Finally got someone to answer a call on the east coast. He said he knew Mario and would forward my contact information to Mario for a call the next day. That was three weeks ago. Stay away from this organization. They'll be sure to show you good reviews but you're not likely to be shown this one! read more

Alan is very professional. He met with me a few times to find our needs in regards to solar and then provided me with an excellent quote. He also put the other quotes that I had received (prior to meeting Alan) onto a spreadsheet so I can compare apples to apples. If you are going through the process of getting quotes and information regarding solar, you understand that its very confusing and maybe companies do it that way so you really can't compare?! We worked with American Energy Company and they were fantastic inregards to completing the project on time, with professional staff and getting the city to sign off with no issues. I highly recommend Alan and American Energy to everyone! read more

I was part of a 'solar co-op' here in West Virginia, and was about to sign on the dotted line with the company selected by the co-op. Then I learned about SoCal Solar Brokers and discovered they could help me here in WV. I thought my options were limited to one reputable company, but they found another solar installer who was able to deliver an equivalent (or better) product with timely installation at my construction site for thousands less. As of yesterday, I am up and running with a 12kW 40 panel system and enjoying watching my electric meter run backwards. Alan and crew have been responsive to my questions, and I will definitely recommend SoCal Solar Brokers to my friends who are considering solar too. read more

I am so grateful that I did business with Alan Jehamy of SoCal Solar Brokers. After mulling over going solar for quite some time, we finally committed to it. We talked with a few solar companies, but none of them compared with the knowledge and professionalism that Alan displayed. Living in Lake Elsinore, I wasn't sure that Alan would want to make the drive from San Diego to meet with us, yet he did without hesitation. I never felt that he was trying to sell us a particular product; it was about what suited our needs. He was very responsive to the multitude of questions that we had to ensure that we felt comfortable with our decision. He also helped us secure financing with much better terms than what we had found on our own. If you are going solar, you should definitely contact SoCal Solar Brokers. I couldn't be happier with our solar project. read more

If you are thinking of going solar look no further! Alan and SoCal Solar Brokers are amazing at finding the right fit for each and every person so that they can get the best deal available for them. Alan is there to represent you the buyer, so you know he has your back and won't be selling you anything that is not in your best interest. I refer my friends to him with confidence knowing they are in good hands. read more

Very impressed with Alan and SoCal Solar Brokers and the efficiency of the install. First off, let me say I love having solar. I have a pool and the pool pump alone uses a lot of energy. Alan analyzed my previous bills to come up with a system size that worked for us and so far it has been producing like crazy and the monitoring is simple. I liked that Alan came out to see me personally and walked me through the entire process and my options. I did a lot of research and had a lot of questions and Alan definitely spent the most time with me and answered all of them. The best part is I didn't have to call every company to come out because Alan has access to all of them and can share the options with you. Install was a breeze and the crew was very respectful. We made a couple of design changes on the fly and even though it set them back about a day, they still made sure it was set up the way my wife and I wanted it to be. read more
