    Elbac Solar is a horrible company. I don't agree with your assignment and I will take legal action. I have never had a roof leak before. My roof was throughly inspected by Elbac Solar to make sure that my roof was in good condition. After Elbac solar inspected my roof they determined that the roof did not have any missing tiles or broken tiles and my roof didn't need any repairs. Elbac then proceeded with instalation. March of 2024 was my first roof leak ever. I called Elbac Solar and you send someone out to inspect the roof leak and your roofer words to me were the leak was from the instalati

    The only downfall for this company at the very beginning was communication was horrible, but once I got ahold of AP manager Darlene everything was moved from there. I give this company 4 Stars. Would I recommend this Solar company to Family, and Friends. I would have to say yes. Everything has changed after I posted this review. Can't contact anyone,I've been complaining that they system isn't working for 7 months now. No one has reach out to see what my concerns are. Worse mistakes, Worse investment I ever made.

    They installed the system. Everything is fine with the system itself, however after they installed one of the tiles is broken when they installed the system. They said that they wouldnt cover it and want to charge me $450 for a single tile.

    I had a solar array installed by.Elbac Solar A little over two years ago, and I am elated with the system. The workmanship was exceptional, and the installation was expeditious. The system more than pay for itself. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to have a solar array installed. They even have a program where you can get a free battery back up, which is bigger than most back up batteries, at no extra charge, such a deal!!!

    They’re were amazing and the install technicians were professional and courteous when they were at my home. Everything they told me came to light with the full install gets finalized

    Elbac came in and offered a much better deal than others in the market. So much so that I cancelled with another company to move forward with them. I needed a completely new roof on a portion of my home from deck to shingles. Elbac did a wonderful job on the roof first and then installed my panels and ground mounted battery. Inspection went well and I am now producing and storing my own energy. From my Sales Rep Julio, inside management and their own installation teams for roofing and solar, I was taken care of the whole time. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family!

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.

  • Bonded

    “process. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured. CSLB# 1072844 PLUS…”

  • Insured

    “We are fully licensed, bonded and insured. CSLB# 1072844 PLUS… Solar panels for…”

  • Licensed

    “installation process. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured. CSLB# 1072844…”

Its website also mentions warranty and free estimate, 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 YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and X. 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.
