    I had a disappointing experience with this company and would urge others to do thorough research before signing a contract. While the salesperson, Bobby, was very friendly and personable, the information provided about rebates and credits was not explained accurately. The sales pitch — including handwritten estimates — made it seem like there would be significantly more savings than what actually materialized. In particular, a rebate of over $6,000 was presented as part of the deal to help close the sale, but it has since disappeared, and I am still waiting for a clear explanation as to why. T

    JC Solar is not a solar panel company, it is a sales agent for a solar panel company named, GreenBrilliance. For me, this relationship has led to numerous issues, starting from the day of installation when details about where equipment would be installed were not communicated to GreenBrilliance, inverters being wired backwards which lead to inaccurate system reports and continuing more than 1 year after my system "went live." Bobby Longo, salesman for JC Solar visited my home in June 2024 to assess the viability and benefits from installing a solar panel system. After assessing my previous ele

    Don't waste your money. If you hire these guys to do an install you better plan to hire someone else to correct their work. Poorly trained workers. Rude owner. Will not back their product.

    My husband and I were extremely pleased with the knowledge and the presentation of Robert last night. Him and his son were amazing and we threw so many questions at both of them and they never hesitated to answer any of our concerns. They were very professional and amazing to deal with. In today's world, it is extremely hard to find someone you trust and feel safe doing business with - they were both such a pleasure . I am looking forward to a long relationship with your company and after myself being very hesitant to do solar, I am actually excited and looking forward to this.

    My personal experience with J.C. Solar was a positive, professional and informative experience. Starting with the introduction with a college student to meeting with Bobby and his son. Very genuine team and could answer all of my questions and concerns. Eric Strus took the time to contact me about emails and schedules. An excellent team to work with and trust. Thank you again to everyone.

    I never write reviews but had to on this company. They were everything they said they were. Their partner install company Greenbrilliance was amazing as well!! They told me they would hold my hand thru the process and they did. I’m not sure why anyone would go with a big company where they don’t care and you are just a number and can’t get a hold of a “human” when you have a problem. Hands down…a great experience! 10 stars!!!

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.

  • Family owned

    “extremely honest, and the company is family owned and Christian based. You can see that…”
  • Licensed

    “Experienced technicians with our licensed partners install your solar panels…”

Its website also mentions free estimate and better business bureau, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. 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, YouTube 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.
