    John kept adding charges to finish the job. He does not honor his contract. I don’t recommend him at all. Paid $6k for 6 panels when the original quote was $5500.

    John Bleem was an exceptional solar contractor who demonstrated very competent professionalism and great knowledge with his trade. His initial task for me was to replace an old, failed inverter, but after that planned project was not successful in restoring my home solar power, he promptly came back the next day to resolve the problem by completely re-wiring and re-configuring the solar panels stings leading to the inverter which ultimately succeeded. Throughout the project, he expressed great enthusiasm and friendliness, always with a positive "can do" attitude. I would be proud to seek, as w

    My personal experience with this company was exceptionally positive. John Bleem, the owner of the company, was called upon to correct a botched commercial electrical panel upgrade (previously done by non-licensed sub) for a 4-unit building. (3 units with added ADU). He and his crew were extremely responsive and diligent. (They worked on and through Easter Sunday as an example.). They were professional, courteous and dedicated to getting the job done. I was particularly impressed with John’s ability to assess the problems (and my concerns) and then to resolve them, getting the project to pass t

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.

  • Veteran owned

    “Solar. They are a young, ambitious, veteran owned, local company. They are a full solar…”

  • Financing

    “– Renovate America to offer flexible financing options. Applying just takes minutes with no…”

  • Warranty

    “outages, ground faults, arc faults, warranty issues. Panel Upgrades In a lot of…”

  • Years in business

    “has been enjoying solar power for more than 12 years. My saving is already more than paid…”

  • Licensed

    “solar design/installation company licensed in California. Enjoy the benefits of…”

Its website also mentions 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 LinkedIn, 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.
