Its one and two star share is 6 points above the typical installer in the Campbell area. Across California, 232 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 5 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 2023

    We had 2400w of Trail blazer panels installed on our coach since March of 2022 and have yet to be satisficed with the productivity of the panels. On clear sunny days we only average between 800-1200 watts at the zenith of the day. We had them installed by the company that you recommended (Solar Advantage in Tucson, AZ). It was supposed to be a two and a half day install that took five days, then they worked on it off and on for another fifteen days with no improvement. Finally, we were told that "its as good as its going to get" and demanded payment. We've tried on several occasions to contact

    Best way to get a hold of someone is through their facebook page. Hope this helps.

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.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • product 2

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.

  • Years in business

    “founders have a combined expertise of over 200 years in semiconductors, solar, photonics,…”

Elsewhere

  • It posts on YouTube and LinkedIn. 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.
