Sunlight Solar does a great job from start to finish, designing and installing residential solar.

SunLies is now denying warranty because I had a third-party (tesla certified installer) install an expansion pack on my system. There is liteterally a federal law that says using a third-party installer does not void a warranty, unless the original installer/manufacturer can prove that the third part directly caused the warranty issue. Their warranty tech said that the expansion was not installed correctly as the exisiting breaker for the PW3 should have been upsized; what a crock of shit since the expansion pack does not increase the peak load on the circuit rather it only doubles the stored power available. The system had been working normally for almost 2 months and then has randomly disabled DC inputs; most likely an electronics issue with the PW3. Sunlight will lie and deny at any cost. The worst part is that they initially installed conduit incorrectly. Then tried to refuse to come fix it even though I had pointed out the problem during the install. Then when they fixed the conduit they took my system offline becasue the wired it incorrectly. Then when they fixed the wiring issue they didn't install the main panel cover correctly and the cover interfers with the breakers. They do subpar work and then make up things about the work done by others to try and void your warranty. What a sleezeball company - avoid at any cost!!! Guess they are willing to roll the dice with a law suit on voiding the warranty! read more

I do not recommend Sunlight Solar for exterior house painting with Tex-cote/Coolwall. Aggressive sales practice, benefits not there and shoddy execution. By all means stay away. read more

Sunlight replaced the roof on my house. Great communication. Quality work. They got the job done in less days than the expected time line. read more

We contacted Sunlight Solar and within a day or two, we had an appointment scheduled at our home to receive quotes on solar panels. James arrived on time and took the time to answer all of my 1,000 questions. I can be a bit persistent, but he was always responsive, either answering my calls or replying to my emails whenever I had a new question. We signed the contract, and within a few weeks, our permits were approved and the solar panels were installed. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our purchase and would highly recommend Sunlight Solar to anyone seeking a smooth, hassle-free experience. read more

Sunlight Solar is amazing. The recently installed a solar battery in my house and it was a great experience. They previously did our solar panels for our house as a well. Both experiences were 5 star ratings. I highly recommend this company. James Gregory is great to work with. The battery set was at a great price, and the installation was top quality. read more

The Sunlight team were professional and did a great job with a very complex install. They showed up on time and explained what they were doing. I liked their automated receipt and documents from the initial bid to final billing. I would highly recommend them for any of your solar or electrical needs. read more

We had our roof & Solar installed Oct 2023 by this company, it was not cheap, had to take a loan to pay for, still paying. We already have had issues with the roof & had to request from the company another roofer (not initial roofer) come out May 2024. The roofer did admit to some issues and he fixed what he could, he was really good. I want to be sure this does not affect our solar either. However, since May he was supposed to come back for follow up & he never did. The company however does not respond or reply so he can follow up and their is no live operator when you call them, goes straight to voicemail. Horrific customer service. So disappointed read more

We replaced all the windows in our house and James Gregory c provide the initial quote and kept us informed and checking in making sure we were happy with the installation. Very professional team and our windows are beautiful, great service, quality and value. read more

We had our solar installed by Sunlight a year ago and we're very happy with the system. There were some ups and downs with the installation, as we had to negotiate with our HOA and with the city over the design. We had to be very patient, but we're happy with the final result. read more

I wish I could have given a better review. The first time we worked with Sunlight for our solar, we had no issues. They were straightforward with us, provided advice for financing, and have not had an issue with our solar. However, we never received instructions on how to make sure our solar is working properly. Despite that, we did meet with them again to look at replacing the windows in our house. Not only did we replace the windows, but we also had our house repainted. We received a good deal, but had some issues after with the communication and updates with the salesman, and when the work would be completed. It did end up taking longer than we were told, but it looks great. Then came the real shock and disappointment. We went with the financing recommended by the salesman, and we seemed rushed to get the paperwork completed. We were not told that once the job was complete, we would have to wait 30 days to pay off the financing, and it would take many phone calls between different companies to get it done. Once we waited the 30 days, we then had to call and request a "call number." The call number took until the second week of November (the house was completed on the first of October), and then we had to request a payoff amount. When I was told how much we owe, I was so surprised and upset that I had to leave work for the rest of the day. The amount due was, of course, the price we were given, and an additional 7,000 dollars for fees and interest. We did not budget for that additional cost. When I reached out to the salesman, because he recommended this financing to us, he was not sympathetic to the amount owed and said he just recommended the company, and we didn't have to use them. I hung up on him and texted him not to contact me anymore. I was beside myself with that type of service. I will never use this company again and will no longer recommend them to my neighbors. read more

There were a couple of hiccups at installation, but their customer service was excellent and took care of the minor issues promptly. I now have a $300 credit on my electric bill after a very hot summer! It doesn't get any better than that! read more

I recommended this company to a friend and she had them install a new system on her house. And they said that would receive a $500 for the referral. Never happened. Ive spoken to them numerous times and still nothing. So in short don't believe anything the say there word means nothing to them. read more

It was a pleasure working with Sunlight Solar on getting a new roof and solar system. When broken down into individual components their pricing was the most competitive on the roof and solar front. I was hesitant to sign up this close to the end of the tax break because I had experienced contractors who did not live up to their word on timelines and I was afraid that they might put me on the backburner. Fortunately, for me a friend had recommended Sunlight Solar for being punctual and timely and my experience with them backed that up. They beat all the timelines they set, completing my roof within two days and solar system a week later within two days. They applied for PTO in conjunction with the work which insured that I had PTO a short time later. The work on the roof and the solar was tidy and pleasing to the eye and so far everything seems to be working beautifully. I would also like to add that they respond to any questions by text and phone very quickly! I highly recommend them. read more

My experience with sunlight solar has been top notch from beginning to end. James was phenomenal in explaining the sunlight solar quality and customer service I was to expect and have thus far received. Solar installation was super quick and had worked perfectly without any issues. read more

James was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure that all my needs were met, and all my concerns were addressed. His knowledge regarding both the solar products and roofing was exceptional. Extremely attentive and helpful As a note to the business: offering a discount for signing the contract the same day as the estimate adds a lot of unnecessary pressure to the customer. Extending the period that that discount is good for would be great so customers can take their time to review the contract. read more

Was contacted by three different people to confirm my appointment after I already confirmed on the phone with two different people. I let the scheduler know up front my husband may not be there and that it would be difficult to get an appt with both of us due to our schedule. I got texts from different people including the owner and informed them he would likely not be present. No one ever told me the appointment was canceled. Made myself available and they didn't not show up or do a me a courtesy to tell me it was canceled. I've never heard of a company that requires both parties be present it's actually quite ridiculous and unrealistic. I've spoken to several contractors without my husband present and vice versa without issues. Consider changing this policy and improve your communication style. Too many people are contacting customers and it's quite annoying and causing misunderstandings. read more

James Gregory is the definition of a true professional. I had gone through 9 different solar company consultations and I basically knew everything there is about solar. James made the experience delightful because he basically gave me what I needed and not what the solar company wanted best for them. They met all my needs and to finally own and not lease was the best decision ever. Sunlight solar process from the initial consultation to the installation and the follow up to see if all I needs were met was amazing. They have high quality equipment, high quality installers and high quality personnel working for them. Again the service is amazing and the referral program is outstanding. I loved it so much I referred James 6 of my friends and family member. read more

I had a great experience with the entire team at sunlight solar . Everything is still working great. Would recommend them to anyone.

Sunlight Solar is the best! Our solar system stopped working suddenly and I contacted another company to run a diagnostic. That company advised me that my entire system needed a major overhaul to the tune of $24,000. Mind you, our system is only 9 years old. After recovering from sticker shock, I decided to get a second opinion even if it cost an additional sum. Am I glad I did! Jon Shuruk at Sunlight Solar handled my case by scheduling Manny to come out for another diagnostic. He started at the appropriate place and immediately determined I needed to replace the "breaker switch." A $13 part. And now our system is working perfectly! So if you have problems with your solar system, just call Sunlight Solar first! They are "simply the best." read more

It's been almost a year since I've had Sunlight Solar install my panels and at first I thought the system might be to small. I have a 450 credit on my SCE bill and my year to date is -18.00 so far. The panels are a great investment and Sunlight Solar did a great job. read more

We used Sunlight Solar for our solar needs and they were great. They were very responsive throughout the whole process and worked within our budget w/o compromising our needs. They didn't recommend more panels than we needed which is not the experience we had w/ some other companies. I was referred to them by my sister and I'm so glad we went w/ them. The quality has been great and we haven't had any issues in the year since we got our panels installed. The electric savings has been amazing and due to that we were also able to get A/C installed to help w/ these increasingly hot summers. I really appreciate Sunlight Solar's professionalism throughout the installation process and would recommend them to anyone looking for solar for their home. read more

We selected Sunlight Solar to install solar panels on the roof of our home after a thorough evaluation of our energy usage and needs. They were responsive, timely, and efficient; they installed the solar panels as designed. They also followed up with us to network and link our system to a monitoring and reporting system. Their follow-up was a great feature. We just had our one-year true-up with SDGE. We produced slightly more energy than we used for the year, resulting in minimum fees and a high rate of return on our investment. We are looking at a power panel solution with them next year if SDGE and the PUC continue their predatory ways. read more

Domingo was very friendly, patient and informative during the sales process. I was assessing multiple vendors and he came back multiple times to close the deal. The planning process wasn't as smooth as I'd hope and there was miscommunication between office and install team on the new fire/smoke alarm policy and installation requirements. Once installation was completed, everything else went smoothly. Manny performed the inspection and fixed everything that needed attention and worked with the city seamlessly. The Enphase system and monitoring app couldn't be easier and I love the realtime rich details so I can adjust my family hourly usage. read more

Sunlight Solar did an amazing job from answering all my questions to the installation process. They listened to my concerns and found the best way to address them. Everything was coordinated so well and I am very happy with my system. Very professional company. Thanks! read more

We got in with Sunlight Solar right before the most recent change in SDGE terms. They worked their butt off to make sure I was within that deadline! Which was a game changer for me. Also helped find a roofer, who did a really good job as well. They weren't naggy like other Solar places, which was important to me. read more

UPDATE 15 APR 2024: I have gone with Sunlight Solar again to install a second solar battery system. Their service and expertise is just as I experienced it two years ago. Again, I give Sunlight Solar my full-hearted endorsement. I give Sunlight Solar my full endorsement. I had always been interested in getting a solar generating system with a battery backup for my condo, but was wary of fly-by-night operations lacking integrity (Sullivan Solar, you're being called out). However, I was put at ease once Sergio visited me and was very transparent with me, detailing the costs and the Throughout the process, the Sunlight Solar production team kept in close communication with me until the physical completion of the project. I just got my system approved by SDGE today, so I can't wait to enjoy how my system operates. Thanks again to the good folks at Sunlight Solar! read more

Provided me with exceptional service from start to finish and ongoing! Very responsive and helpful!

My husband and I went with Sunlight Solar because we had done our research with about 6 other companies and even made a spreadsheet with the comparisons. Sunlight had a very professional portfolio and mock ups, the turn around time for the job was very fast and they got us the best pricing for interest rates. Overall super happy and not only we used them but my parents as well. Talk with James he is super professional and still checks in with us from time to time and even brought the kiddos donuts. read more

It's a pleasure for me to write this five star review for sunlight solar. These guys are very patient and professional. I asked a lot of hard questions that no other solar company was able to answer to my liking. I trust the equipment manufacturers they are using and their installation team was professional and quick. A big shout out to Gregory James, Roxanna and the rest of the crew. I have the system for about a year now. Never had any issues. I highly recommend them for your solar installation. read more

James was absolutely a pleasure to work with! He was thorough and answered all the questions we had. It was done quickly and looks amazing. We had both roof and solar done. read more

Had solar installed on our roof back in October, they've been very responsive and helpful. Our rep Domingo Ramirez was informative and knowledgeable, and most importantly not pushy! We went through dozens of solar companies and sunlight solar was by far the best and easiest to work with, they felt more trustworthy and reliable than many other companies. Highly recommend! read more

Beware of Sunlight Solar. I paid $1000.00 deposit and got nothing at all. There were issues with the financing and it never went through. Sunlight Solar kept my $1000.00 deposit and have to this date done nothing for me. I have tried to get my money back but they do not respond or even answer my calls now. Stay away from this company. I will be filing a complaint with the state and BBB. Don't even consider this company if anything happens during your project setup they will not reimburse you, not even partially. DO NOT DEAL WITH SUNLIGHT SOLAR!!! read more

I had an overall positive experience. They made it easy to understand and install. The project was completed on time and they kept me updated. The system has been working well! read more

I had sunlight solar install backup batteries. Great service. I highly recommend. After installation, my solar system didn't work the way I wanted it to. Sunlight solar was very responsive and very quickly got my batteries working the way I want them to. I would use them again in future projects, as they come up. read more

Crappy Customer Service. EVERYTHING is a visit fee! Even right after the system was installed, we had an issue and they want to charge a service fee to come look at it. Also they system looks terrible, the wiring and cable is all visible and painted a color that doesn't match. When you call in, they don't even call you back! DON'T USE THIS COMPANY!! read more

after reviewing my annual true up electric bill, I decided I might look into the possibility of acquiring additional solar panels or even a battery back up system. Sunlight solar was there for me in a short time and arraigned a meeting at a convenient time the next day. I also followed up with the requested information the secretary had asked me to submit, which was attaching a copy of the true up bill to the email that was sent to me so that the associate could review it beforehand. when the meeting took place we reviewed the details of my system and the so explaining my position with regards to outlay cost of a battery storage versus cost recovery by way of my personal electrical usage. I was happy to have Sunlight Solar give me an honest evaluation which was to stay with my current equipment which is performing as it was designed. read more
