    Guy was so rude over the phone. He lost a potential customer because he thought it was okay to mock me and belittle me. Don’t recommend this creep to anyone.

    Stas is great to work with - explains what’s happening and is very persistent to solve difficult problems!

    Pleased to share my excellent experience implementing solar batteries through Magic Solar. Every aspect of the project (from first contact to final inspection) was a profoundly positive customer experience. The service level provided was so incredibly differentiated I felt compelled to share what service should be. I chose batteries that Magic Solar had never used before (FranklinWH rather than the standard Tesla Powerwall), and the team honored my choice without pushback (unlike other installers I’d spoken with). This meant they had to learn and implement a battery solution they were not well

    Stas and his crew were professional, friendly. and extremely helpful. Beside a first-class installation of our solar panels and infrastucture, they readily provided answers to our questions and concerns. Even when the panel providers were late, the installation team worked beyond their normal work hours to complete as much as possible to mitigate the disruption the next day. They were able to rearrange their schedule to facilitate the completion of our installation as quickly and efficiently as possible. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who was looking for an honest, professional, a

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.

  • Warranty

    “is a problem and it is within your warranty period, you should contact the…”

  • Years in business

    “at least 20 years. If your roof is more than 10 years old, you will likely have to replace…”

Its website also mentions licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Thumbtack. 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 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.

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.
