This company does a lot more than just solar?I had brand new windows custom, made for spec for my condo here in Long Beach. They also provided a mold treatment for my place.And considering my age , this was a health concern , very pleased with my representative easy to communicate with.

Box installation, working after dark and around the rain.

Solar Panel Installation I know every situation can vary, but I would like to acknowledge the quality and professionalism of the service I received from lead man Erick & his apprentice Ray during the recent installation of my solar panels. In spite of the difficulties presented by the on & off rain, they went out of the way to answer questions and took the time to make sure the job was done well and that I was completely happy with the results. I'm looking forward to the savings that the panels can bring to my electric bill.

We really enjoy this during the hot times out here

I'm extremely happy with this company, service communication and their ability to cater to my needs. Very pleased with the HVAC system this company installed at my home in San Bernardino .

The company came out to install solar panels and the customer service was incredible and the job was completed on time with no issues.

SOLAR in the back of the home. With new roof.

I am so extremely pleased with the quality of work, the customer service and the communication which is key in my mind when it comes to doing any home improvement product especially SOLAR. Not only did they help me find good financing, but they answered all my questions and really provided an excellent service. Can't speak highly enough about them. I had SOLAR and roof done and a battery..

Roof

Southwest came and sent a crew to redo my roof. They did such an amazing job and the workers were so nice and clean. Highly recommend them

Redid roof!!

South west solar sent Gilbert and Sean out to assist me with a quote. They redid my roof and it looks wonder. They are such nice guys and I would recommend to anyone!!

Mark was SO helpful in understanding our solar potential and what doing the project the right way…read morewould entail. What was most impressive about him is that he helped us understand why some of the other projects we had in the pipeline really needed to happen first before we did solar. It was comprehensive and thorough, so when the time is right for doing solar, we're excited to work with them. I've already recommended them to a few friends.

I really appreciate the direct accountability and quick resolution. I'm leaving my original review below for transparency, but their prompt response today restored my confidence in their management. I originally had a positive experience with California Solar Electric during my 10.12 kW solar and Powerwall 3 installation last year. Unfortunately, their post-install customer support and business ethics are nonexistent. I referred a friend who completed their installation months ago. I was explicitly promised a $500 referral bonus for this. After months of waiting, I tried following up multiple times privately to give them a chance to make it right, but I am now being completely ignored. It's a shame because I have several neighbors here in Fountain Valley who are currently shopping around for solar and battery storage. I was planning to refer them here, but I cannot recommend a company that fails to honor its own written agreements and ducks communication. Buyer beware: the installation team does good work, but do not trust a word management says about referral incentives or post-sale promises. Still waiting for my $500.

The 4th year production shows improvement over the 3rd year as I kept the panels clean. However,…read moreit's still about 4.8% below the minimum guaranteed production (accounting 0.25% maximum annual panel degradation). It's 4 year in a row now the system failed to produce the minimum guaranteed production. AWS Solar chose to compensate for the shortfall again; we'll see what the 5th year production looks like. I suggested replacing some of the panels with the higher power ones to solve the issue, but I guess they want to see more data.

I hired AWS Solar to install solar panels on my home In May 2026. They completed the job a few…read moreweeks later. They did a very good jod. I am pleased. However, upon completeing the job, the project manager Tim Broughton called me, helped me log on to the Enphase app so that I could monitor the panels. After I confirmed that I was logged in, I was told that I was up and running And they were done. I was happy thinking I was now running on the sun. Wrong. So very wrong. I received my electric bill and astonished to see the electric portion was over $800.00. I called the power company and was told that the $130.00 application fee had not been paid. I notified Mr. Broughton and he immediatley saw that the bill for the application fee was paid and apologized for the error. Now the fun begins. I called the power company and asked when they would be out to install the proper meter for solar panels. I was informed that no application for a meter to be installed was on file and that I had to submit an application for interconnection. Hmm? No one mentioned anything to me about completing and application or that I had to contact the power company. I completed the PTO (Permission to Operate) form and based on the questions being asked and the information I needed to provide leads me to believe the Solar company was responsible for completing this form and sending the required fee. Ok. Lets not look to for someone to blame, lets just get the proper meter installed. I completed the PTO and submitted it. The power company came out a couple of weeks later and installed the a new meter. Onlyit was not a meter for solar panels. They installed the same new meter but it was the same meter as the meter I already had. I asked them why they didn't put on a solar meter and I was told that I needed to submit a PTO for a SOLAR METER, which is different. And by the way, they have a special person that installs solar meters and a special person to install regular meters. This seemed rather stupid to me. I ask the power comapany rep for the contact info for the solar department and he told he didn't know. I won't name the power company. LADwp. The one good thing the DWP rep did upon arriving to his office was to send an email to contact the proper department at the power company. I assumed he would have just gone about his business and let me flounder. I started on the second application which asked for job site photos. This was to me another indication that the solar installer was suppose to complete this form because Joe Citizen would not know what photos they were required. I did observe that periodically, the workers would take photos, but none were ever sent to me. Now I'm in the middle of August 2026 with fingers, legs, arms, eyes and anything else, maybe the dogs and cats, crossed hoping that this time I will get a meter. The bottom line is I would still recommend AWS SOLAR to anyone, but I'd have to caution them to make sure they get you connected and ALL fees are paid. Because I was dealing with the City of LA and being constantly sent to voice mail and waiting for call backs, this experience was horrendous.

After researching several roofing companies and offers, I was hesitant to choose one because of all…read morethe "contractor nightmare" reviews I'd read. Roofing is a considerable expense. You want someone competent, reliable, competitively priced, and most importantly, honorable. A good friend highly recommended DLS. What a Godsend! A LOVE LETTER TO DLS DEVELOPMENT: Your company operated with such a level of professionalism and respect that it deserves nothing less than the highest praises and the best publicity. I can't thank you enough for the stellar work your crew produced under less-than-ideal conditions (the heat last week was crazy). Your workers took special care to protect my property and they cleaned up the work site EVERY DAY before leaving.They were all very amiable and professional and I hope I adequately conveyed to them how much I appreciated their work and their attitudes. It was truly a pleasure doing business with you and I will gladly "spread the gospel" of DLS Development (competent, reliable, honorable) whenever I can. Thanks, again! - Craig Jones, September 2026

We took a couple of months to meet up with other roof companies for quotes and ultimately hired DLS…read moreDevelopment. Spencer from DLS Development gave a great pitch, plus the quote was one of the lowest we received from almost all roofing companies. They reached out over a month later to check in and offer an additional discount. Pros: The workers did an excellent job and worked from nearly sunup to sundown. They had a few questions, which I could answer (or get my husband to answer) when I was around. It took about 4 days for them to tear off the old shingles and install the new ones. And it was hot out there! They did the work quickly, professionally, and efficiently! One of the crew members performed a walk-through with my husband once they finished, and my husband was very pleased with the finished product. I feel very grateful looking at my roof now, since the old one was very old. Cons Once we signed the contract and paid the initial deposit, we were told that the permit for our house needed to be pulled and that it would take about a week. Almost two weeks later, I asked the project manager if she had pulled the permit and when the project could begin. She then let me know the roofers would begin the following week. I guess I hoped that the project manager would have reached out to me first to let me know that the permit situation was complete and that they would begin the roofing process. You need to take initiative and find out what's happening, since I've never had a roof replaced before. Next, the project manager informed us they discovered and replaced rotted wood. The project manager sent us a change order for the additional amount, yet the contract did not list any extra charge for rotted wood. Additionally, they had already replaced the "rotted wood" before we signed anything, and they had no clear photos showing any rotted wood. It took a lot of emails and texts back and forth before we reached a resolution we were happy with. Still, it was a headache and frustrating for several days; we had to deal with uncertainty and explanations. Finally, the project manager never confirmed when the inspector for the last inspection would actually come to our house to collect my signature on a form. We didn't know whether we needed to be at home, leave the document out somewhere, or when the process would officially end. I received an email from the project manager asking me to reply and attach the form with my signature, as the inspector had come around but could not collect it because I was not there. I replied to the email with the form and asked the project manager if I needed to do anything else. Only when I reached out again to the general DLS development general email was I told what day the inspector would come around again to collect the form. We're thrilled with the roof and the quality of work, but it would've been less of a headache to have a lot of this information up front without having to keep asking, since I'm unfamiliar with the roof process. I also had to email the general DLS development email, as the project manager was not responding to some questions and concerns as quickly as I would've liked. I know she probably had a million things going on, but it felt like I got a response much quicker once I emailed through the general company email. This was not a cheap project, and I feel like this company lacks clear communication, but their workers and work are absolutely outstanding.

We live in Oakland, California…read more After soliciting bids through EnergySage from multiple companies, we got so turned off by commission-inspired sales tactics from other companies (NB many on the site have commission-based sales teams that promise the world at great prices, but then when it's contract time, everything changes drastically due to the disconnect between those promises and the reality of each site--this happened to us and our neighbor with Solar Optimum), we were on the verge of abandoning this project, when I decided to give German (pronounced gair-mon, but he also goes by Gary) and his company Mega Power a try. He apparently let go of his sales team years ago for these reasons (I see problems too from earlier Yelp reviews). What an amazingly refreshing difference! This is not a multi-tier sales organization. German owns the company, provides honest bids, and came to our home for an on-site inspection before providing his actual bid. He also worked directly with his team on our installation. That does mean that he can be personally busy, but he always got back to me and I admittedly can be kinda demanding, especially with endless questions as I try to wrap my mind around new things. We went with LG Neon Panels, SolarEdge Inverters, 2 LG Chem batteries, and the StorEdge multimode inverter so our system can operate when the grid is down (thanks PG&E). German worked with me to be sure our system works as desired (despite a lot of misinformation, including from the manufacturers who are still working out this cutting-edge technology). And their installation was beautiful! We have a very clean aesthetic and these guys were really impressive--even painting various pipes and what not to match our house. They also upgraded our panel to 200 amps, installed the critical load subpanel, and pulled all the permits, worked with PG&E to change the power line to our house as part of the panel upgrade, etc. I definitely recommend German.

Getting solar for the home is a little bit confusing at first. I gathered and compared about 5-6…read morequotes, and checked the rating on Yelp and other websites. I finally chose Mega Power and I am glad everything went faster than I expected. The day that I received and signed the contract with Mega Power to the day that it's on for use is about a month and a half. Mega Power took care of all of SMUD requirements, Elk Grove city permit, and inspection. Here is what I think about Mega Power: Reasonable price, you do not have to wait too long for the job to be done, and the panels and electrical wiring were done professionally. I highly recommend Mega Power.

They were very responsive and answered every technical question succinctly. I greatly appreciate all of the guidance I was provided and the knowledge they shared from the initial site visit through final inspections and successful operations.

OneSun took care of all required paperwork and coordinated directly with both the city and LADWP. A big thank you to Rose for planning and overseeing the entire project and being an outstanding resource throughout. Everyone I dealt with from her team was professional and courteous.

So glad listened to friend and went with OneSun, especially working with Rose. Rose and her team from the first call to post installation have been a pure joy to work with. She was transparent and walked us through every step along the way - always available to explain in detail or provide additional feedback or suggestions. She made it so easy and painless, plus the install crew were prompt and super efficient finishing a large install all in one day. Her team was also great with handling all the details and permits with LADWP. Can't say enough about what a joy was to work with them and only wish knew about them before I had to deal with all the other scammers out there.
