What reviewers said

  • 1★ · around December 2025 · the company replied

    I strongly advise against using this solar company. The installation was sloppy, with panels misaligned and wiring left exposed. Within weeks, the system stopped producing the promised energy output. When I contacted customer service, they were dismissive and slow to respond, offering no real solutions. What was supposed to be a smart investment turned into a headache. If you value quality and accountability, look elsewhere.

    Promised me one set of panels, gave me a cheaper kind. Refused to fix them even when I showed them the contract as proof. My lawyer said the way they write their contracts we couldn’t do anything. They didn’t connect the panels to my roof well at all.

    BEWARE. They will pretend to be contracted by the power company to do you a favor by checking and “upgrading” your meter when in reality it is to gain access to your property and power bill for a sales pitch for solar. Now on my blacklist of companies.

    The company itself is great! The salesman (Matt) has been awesome. Dealing with the company has been great. The roof tear-off crew was really good. The crew that actually ins tr talked the solar panels were great too. The only issue we had was with the guys who did the reroofing. They took several days and even had to be told to come back because they hadn't finished. It seemed we were an afterthought to them. They never showed up earlier than about 2 p.m. and one day, it was around 5 p.m.

    I am very excited to know that we've taken a big step this morning towards being up and running with Ignite solar. They've been very personable and professional. They've gotten us through hurdles and had extreme patience with my endless questions! Austin Alvis has answered every single question and many repeatedly! He is very considerate and easy to work with. I have no doubts that he and Ignite are an asset to us!

    Informative and really convenience me to get off SDG&E grid and install 9 more Solar panels. My panels was installed early. I need to know when will they be inspected for approval and activations. Kyle did a great job! Regards, Anthony Shelly Jr.

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.

  • Insured

    “warranty. Not only are our panels insured–your roof is too as soon as…”

Its website also mentions warranty and licensed, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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.
