Solar Max never provide and explain the detail to the consumer regarding the amount of electricity that the costumer will receive but you can calculate base on the total of electricity you will receive over 20 years that information is listed on page 3. They will just keep telling you your electric bill will be lower but end up you paid much more because the amount of energy being provided is not enough so you have to buy more electricity from your local electric company. The solar energy provider, Sun Power will take your rebate in amount of $2772 also! Solar Max is just like a greedy used car dealer, never disclose the true information such as the mile per gallon of the vehicle to the buyer! You are leasing the solar panel NOT buying it! The amount of electricity they told you the solar panel will generate is NOT enough for one person household and they have many limitations such as cloudy sky and trees in your area, etc. The amount of electricity you will receive decrease annually but the cost per kWh increases, see the last page of your contract. So you will end up paying more and more every year to both Sun Power and your local electric company. Your lease contract is for 20 years! Please read the contract very careful especially page 3, 28 and 30. DON'T rush to make any decision over the phone! Solar Max doesn't provide any guarantee the amount of electricity you will receive because they are just the middle man! They DO NOT have any liability if you are not satisfied! WATCH OUT their high pressure sale pitch! read more

Would give them 0 stars if I could. The worse company to deal with. Unprofessionalism at it's highest. They will not honor what they advertise. Bunch of crooks. Save your time and nerves. Take your business elsewhere. read more

So one day this guy Andy from solarmax shows up at my house to set an appointment with me to get free information on solar for my home that appointment never happens. Then I call up there just figuring it was a fluke and they were having an off-day and I get the rudest customer service that I've ever had and unknowledgeable as well. They tell me that they can set an appointment and that there was a promotion that they would pay for 2 years of my solar panel payments which comes to find out is not correct. I never end up getting the second appointment and also get treated as if I'm some slap dick wasting their time. In conclusion every experience I've had has been horrible. taking my business to 3D solar at least there you can talk to someone and not feel like you're an idiot. God I wish they would come out with zero Stars One of These Days. read more

My representative is Laura Ramirez. She is exceptional. She always is available when I call her. She will even come to my house to walk me through when I don't understand my solar system. She goes far and beyond to accommodate. Thank you Laura for always answering my annoying questions read more

My new solar energy system has been up and running smoothly for over a month. I wanted to acknowledge and thank Darvin Traylor for his assistance in getting my system completed. In spite of staff shortages caused by the Covid 19 pandemic, Darvin was the person I could depend on to promptly return my phone calls and work to solve Edison and county permitting issues related to the installation of my system. He is an outstanding representative of SoilarMax Technology whose effort and cooperation has made me a thoroughly satisfied customer. read more

My wife and I signed up with SolarMax. My sales rep was Troy. We were referred to him by my brother in law. He would only recommend someone if they were trustworthy. So since he recommended Troy to us, we were already one up. In addition, my wife did her own homework and came up with 2 other quotes (Solar City and Grape Solar). Overall, SolarMax had all the things we wanted. Troy gave us 3 different quotes (purchase outright, lease plan or pay as you go). We weighed all the options and we went with the purchase plan. We also went with individual inverters so we can monitor it ourselves. The installers came and installed very quickly once we got the permit from the city. Prior to that they showed us the plans and how it was going to be installed. The next steps were pretty straight forward. Inspection was scheduled and paperwork turned in to Edison to get (PTO) Permission to Operate within a week (which is considered pretty quick). You can also get referral fees if you have your friends sign up so in this case, my brother in law will receive a referral fee. read more

I was helped by Troy. He provides the best customer service ever. He takes his time to explain everything to me about their products and to help me choose the best plan I can get. I am very satisfied at what I purchased. I will highly recommend everyone to go and ask for Troy. read more

MarvinJimenez is wonderful! He kept me up to date on the progress of my project and was always available to answer my questions.

I'm not one to write a review but after hearing nightmare stories from friends, I felt it necessary to give SolarMax credit for how well our set up was, along with the customer service we received. Mark Andrews went above and beyond in explaining the step by step process, as well as always being available and responsive to our questions and concerns. At the time we were having a pool built, and they worked with our construction staff with timing and placement, so things would be easier for us, and also saved us money by doing so. There was a slight hiccup, (like there usually always is) and it was taken care of within 24 hours. The referral fee is a huge plus as well, and our new monthly Edison bill is between 13-17$ every month! So worth it! I highly recommend SolarMax and if you can ask for Mark Andrews, that's an even bigger plus! We have referred them to several friends and family and they are all satisfied customers. Thank you SolarMax! read more

We shopped around before calling SolarMax. The price is reasonable (but not really super cheap). The reason I chose to get their service is because of the salesman. Jason was sent to our house that day. I remember the first question he asked us is about our tax liability. I bet many people heard about 30% tax credit, but they dont know it bases on your tax liability. You might not get your 30% if you dont have enough tax liability. Many solar companies make you think you will get 30% after you purchase their systems. Thats not true. Jason makes sure we clear that before going further. The second reason is that Solarmax has their in-house finance with lower rate than going directly to the bank, which I tried. They finance you based on your credit score, not a lien to your property. And lastly, Jason always responds to my questions promptly. The whole procedure is more clear and fast with his support. We highly recommend Solarmax to your new solar system. read more

Excellent company to deal with. I have had the system for almost a year now and everything worked as expected. They followed through all the way resulting in earlier completion than planned. My salesrep was Marvin Jimenes. read more

I interviewed 5 solar companies to install my solar and selected SolarMax for their professionalism, especially with Laura Ramirez, my sells rep., the quality of product and pricing. Laura was very patient and is always available to answer all my questions, day and night!!. She always had a great an positive attitude as compared to the other companies. That made the biggest difference. read more

I went with Solar Max for my solar panels and they have been extremely professional and very honest. I originally went with another company and they were very unreliable, unprofessional and I felt I was getting taken advantage of . My friend recommended her company and her rep Laura Ramirez and she was extremely helpful, honest and I felt she had my best interest. The installation team was very efficient and did a great job. Laura calls from time to time to make sure everything is going well. I would recommend this company for sure! read more

My sales rep Jason Kong earns this Five stars for himself and the company he presents- SolarMax. Before signing the contract with SolarMax, we did shop around with couple other solar companies, but after talked to Jason we realized SolarMax is the right track for us. We are over 100% satisfy by the consultation and customer service provided by our sales Jason, he is very professional and honest. On day one, instead of keeps promoting his company and their plans, he explains and analyzed the entire solar market for us; laid the truth out and listen to our needs, find the best plan that fits us, yet, did not push or convince us to any of the plan but leaving us to think through before making any rush decision. He couldn't be more detail or patient, he helps us understand our current electric bills and educate us the solar panels that we are getting. He is also very delicate at all time, answers my call or text whenever I have questions. The solar max team is also very professional, works quick and clean everything up after works done, I can't even notice they were ever here. After panels installed, SolarMax send another guy(sorry could not remember his name) to come over to explain how the panels work and how to monitor usage on-line. This guy is also super nice and professional, he go through every single step word by word, makes everything very clear and easy to understand. Base on the service I received, SolarMax is highly recommended! read more

After getting quotes and speaking to 11 different solar companies, my general contractor told me about Solar Max. One call later and a short visit from a Solar Max salesmen, Dan Cooley, the search ended successfully with my selecting Solar Max. The installation process was seamless and was on time and completed per the agreement. Getting through the inspection process was a struggle as the city inspector arrived too late on the final inspection day to sign off on the plans, so a second final inspection was rescheduled a week later. We passed the final inspection, and within a few days, the people at Solar Max had my system up and running. Many thanks to Dan Cooley and the staff at Solar Max for a job well done. It's comforting to to business with people who care, and who fully understand the meaning of taking care of the customer. My neighbors have asked about my solar system, and I hand them Dan Cooley's business card and tell them call Dan! read more

We signed up with Solar Max 2 years ago. The panels work fine and the process was easy and the customer service seemed good. We did notice that nails, bolts and screws were driven through the roof and into our living room and dining room ceiling, however, right underneath the panels. We were informed that this would be fixed. AS soon as the rain came, we noticed 8-9 leaking areas, all underneath the panels. SolarMax did come out and to repair them and managed to fix 6 of them. Three leaky areas remained and they came out again to repair them and two more were fixed. The worst leak in our bedroom soaks the entire wall with water and made the ceiling swell. Solar Max came out a third time to repair this and it is still not fixed. Fortunately we are in a drought and it rarely rains here, but we do now have a tarp from Home Depot on our room covering this area, which works, but it's so tacky. The bolts, nails and screws are still visible in our ceiling and people and have yet to be fixed. SolarMax has stopped responding to my requests to have this fixed. Feel free to message me if you would like photos or more information. I would not do business with this company again. read more

After years of suffering through the summer with our AC set at 78 to try to keep the electric bill down I finally decided to go solar. I'd had quotes in the past by obnoxious high pressure salesmen who immediately turned me off to the idea because my motto is that if your product is any good then you dont need to shove down peoples throats to sell it. Fortunately i have some personal friends who used solarmax so i asked them to get me in touch with their sales rep. They set me up with Laura Ramirez and i received a very reasonable quote with no pressure from Laura that same day. I've had the system installed since April and i couldn't be happier. We keep the AC at a comfortable 74 degrees all day and night, which does ultimately pull a little from the grid but my bills max out at less than half what they were this time last year. I highly reccomend solarmax and especially Laura to anyone considering going solar!! read more
