I was almost run off the road by one of their drivers. I recommend nobody trust their employees to deliver quality service.

Just had a white utility truck driving all over the road. Tailgating me and other vehicles on highway 12 going towards I 5. What type of people do you hire? And then When I took a picture of the vehicle that has your name and your phone number all over it He crossed over a solid line to pass all the traffic. Like he was running away from something. Does your company hire sketchy morons?

They do exactly what they say they'll do, at the exact time they say they'll do it. Quality installers, quality electrician, Corrine is a gem!
5★ · around August 2024
We had a great experience and Corrine was easy to work with and stayed on top of things.

We chose Calsolar based on their outstanding response to my initial calls and questions. Don was very responsive and listened to my questions and concerns. More to the point, the Calsolar team delivered what I asked for in our system. I wanted the most power I could fit on our roof. Calsolar was able to give me an 11.5kw system. Beginning to end both Don and Kelly where very good about communication and keeping me updated on the status of the project. I rate companies I work with on Customer service first, then on if the product or service delivers on the promises. Last August, my PGE bill was

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.
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.
Warranty
“more expensive, but the 25-year warranty gives "Peace of Mind" and…”
Its website also mentions family owned, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on ConsumerAffairs and 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 Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
