Its one and two star share is level with the typical installer in Santa Barbara. Across California, 788 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 13 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around August 2021 · the company replied

    We were very pleased with Good Energy Solar. Aaron and John were very responsive and did what they said they were going to do. Even when there was some equipment issues, they stood behind their work and thoroughly resolved the issues with the manufacturer. We highly recommend Good Energy. Special shoutout to John who went more than the extra mile to install the battery system.

    We were planning a new home build p on the Westside facing east, and this was to me no ordinary home. We wanted to build a home for what we KNOW is coming! We chose to build a Method Homes modular prefabricated sustainable home, which I modified a lot to be even more sustainable and future-ready. Solar power was a priority. I had panels in our old home in Culver City, 3.5kw, since seven years already, and I'm an industrial designer, so I had a great foundation for choosing a great contractor. I interviewed several, checked some references, and easily chose Aaron and Good Energy Renewables (now

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.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • homes 3
  • roof 3

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.

  • Years in business

    “System Design & Operations Ryan has over 12 years of experience managing teams to build…”

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 X, Instagram and 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.
