Its one and two star share is level with the typical installer in Carlsbad. Across California, 657 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.

Every company we hold in Carlsbad, on one axis

Each mark is one company we hold in Carlsbad whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Carlsbad Solar is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

What reviewers said

  • 2★ · around August 2024 · the company replied

    Way too important to talk to me for some used solar panels.

  • 5★ · around March 2026

    I talked to a lot of installers in the SoCal region and I can personally say that Carlsbad Solar is hands down, the best. They are a beacon of truth in a sea of predatory door knocking solar sales outfits. They are family owned and the owner Justin personally worked with me and is obviously one of the most knowledgeable people in solar. Local, honest, family company that gives back to the community they serve. What more could you want in an installer?

    These guys are the best. Their staff are so professional and true experts. We've had a few random glitches with our inverter and they have been so quick to respond. Even sending out a team to verify the wiring connections and everything. Our system has been fantastic and produces just like it was designed to. Could not be happier. I highly recommend Carlsbad Solar.

    Carlsbad Solar is a great company. Fast and reasonable on price. They helped me out with my RV Solar.

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.

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

    “has been in business longer than your warranty. With solar technology becoming more…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, family owned 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 Instagram and Facebook. 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.
