They call and spam non stop. That's not how real businesses work. Word in the industry is they buy second hand panels and push them as new.

From broken pallets to damaged panels. Poor quality products. After purchasing a half container of panels I spoke with several employees, Raymond, Terri, and Christian (the owner), in regards to my damaged products. After sending them numerous images of damaged pallets, broken modules, damaged and scratched panels etc., the company has been ignoring my calls and emails. In my emails I tried resolving this matter without a lawsuit, but they continue to ignore all communications. It has been months and I'm still trying to get my money back for all the damages. As of this post there is still no r

Christian and his team are above board with details and communication. They are, however, brokers so while they do their best to make sure everything works out smoothly, sometimes hiccups happen. Keep in mind their prices are the BEST, but because of how brokerage works you can expect some delays if there are any claims to be settled. We've done a number of deals with them in the past 5 years and while we have had some hiccups, these guys are legit.

Our startup is scaling quickly and Alchemy has been a tremendous partner for distribution. They have been communicating beyond what most lager distributors will do - Even catching things we have missed and following up with calls and texts to ensure things go smoothly.

We've been working with Alchemy Solar Distribution for several projects now, and they continue to exceed expectations. Their inventory is extensive, pricing is competitive, and most importantly, their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping their partners succeed.

It’s rare to find a distributor who balances technical expertise with outstanding customer service, but Alchemy Solar Distribution does it flawlessly. If you're in the solar

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.

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.
Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Solana Beach is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
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.
