Its one and two star share is level with the typical installer in Escondido. Across California, 596 of the 1,529 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 21 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    Very poor overall experience. They did not seem to know what they were doing. They ordered a part that didn't fit my system and had to delay the battery installation. Once they started working it took many more days than expected. They severed my sprinkler line while clearing a bush around the installation and didn't mention it. The first time my power went out, the battery did not kick on automatically, which defeats the purpose of having a backup. They promised a rebate incentive that after a year an a half of waiting on CA, I was told my system was ineligible. They left their tool bag in my

    I was very pleased today. SDGE had a planned maintenance outage so our neighborhood had a power outage for a couple hours. Our battery backup system worked as we had planned out with Peter and 180 Solar. Refrigerator and microwave worked. Also had TV and internet. Love it when a plan comes together.

    Installed my original solar electric system in 2019. Great job! Recently they also added more panels to increase my power to offset more AC during the summer months. They reviewed the rules and were able to add panels without causing a switch to NEM3! Again they did a good job and got it done in a reasonable time.

    Peter shared more information with me than any of the solicitors with all the "deals". I appreciate honesty & won't give an excellent review unless it's been earned from being to end. We've had our first true up (a full year) of $0 & a credit still remaining on our account with SDG&E. This without a battery. After installation they still take care of their customers! Above & beyond. I highly recommend them for every good reason any of us can hope for! Price, performance & customer care/service.

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Family owned

    “Company 180 Solar Power is a local family owned company that services residential,…”

  • Years in business

    “Power Team brings the experience of over 30 years, and more than 2,000 solar system…”

  • Insured

    “We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured. CA License #995321 About 180 Solar…”

Its website also mentions financing, free estimate, bonded, licensed and licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
  • It posts on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
