    I have been making payments for the solar panels and PG&E energy for 4 months now. The company was kind enough to offer to make the payments but I haven’t seen anything about that for a month. I’m about to call the city myself to get the final. I’ve been very disappointed in this company. You can only talk to them through text which I think is so smart because then they can distance themselves from the customer and the frustration and anger that has built up. The neighbors down the street extremely happy because they ordered the same solar from the same guy and they’ve had connected since the

    AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!! I wish I could leave 0 stars. I had these panels installed in JANUARY. They are STILL not turned on nor have they contacted our electric company. You will be STUCK with 2 electric bills (your current one AND the non-working panels). They DO NOT REIMBURSE solar panel payments AS promised. They just contacted me after several days asking them when they will reimburse just to tell they "not now". They only respond by text and not phone call or even email. Considering taking legal action. They do not warn or notify you that this can happen to you.

    I've never done business with this Core solar, but they are not the CORE ENERGY/solgen company that is ripping folks off in California. They were also very patient with my misdirected anger and responsive, which is more than I can say for CORE ENERGY. they don't deserve these bad reviews for sharing a name with a disreputable company.

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.
