Its one and two star share is 12 points above the typical installer in Riverside. Across California, 314 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 23 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

What reviewers said

  • 1★ · around August 2025

    They would be done in an hour if they didn't waste time talking loudly, laughing and joking it up, taking breaks every 5 seconds and cranking up their music in the morning disturbing neighbors.

  • 1★ · around August 2023

    Lack of communication with families when problems with solar panels occur.

  • 5★ · around August 2025

    I had worked with grid alternatives years ago, and it was a great experience and very rewarding So to see a review of one star by a person who got Free solar, I did say Free solar, to complain about anything is absurd.

    I trained with Grid Alternatives EI, thanks to that, today I do a lot of installs with confidence and professionalism. I work overseas and the quality of my work is very appreciated, thanks for the practice. Keep on helping communities and contributing to a better world

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.

Elsewhere

  • It posts on Instagram, YouTube, X 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 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.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
