Its one and two star share is level with the typical installer in the Mission Viejo area. Across California, 788 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 6 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    Big thanks to Chris James of Active Solar in helping me with my solar system that ceased working. The unit came with my home purchase eight years ago and at the time it was Solar City, now Tesla Solar. Unfortunately, I was not successful in getting the right help to resolve the problem until I called Active Solar in San Juan Capistrano for advise. After giving Chris the error information on the solar unit he was able to contact the manufacturer and pin point the malfunction. Plus, Chris contacted Tesla on my behalf and found it was still under warranty. I have an appointment with Tesla Solar i

    Trustworthy, honest company! Had a great experience working with the owner, who helped us find a less expensive, used compatible unit to replace our broken inverter instead of trying to upselling us on a whole new system!! Highly recommend!

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

What reviewers keep mentioning

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.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp, Houzz and Angi. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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

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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • 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.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
