Its one and two star share is 3 points above the typical installer in Modesto. Across California, 582 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 20 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Each mark is one company we hold in Modesto whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Mid-State Solar is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

    I've called 3 times and left messages. No call back. I went to the office twice during business hours and door was locked. 2nd time a lady opened the door and seemed frantic. She was apprehensive for some reason. I gave her all the specs for my garage and she said someone would call. Been 2 months now. Very disappointed

    Mid-State Solar installed a 15k solar/battery system for us about 3 years ago. It has performed flawlessly, keeping our power up during outages and saving us a LOT of money. The panels have already nearly paid for themselves and it won’t be too much longer before the savings will have covered the cost of the batteries. After that, it’s all gravy. We opted for the batteries mostly for medical reasons (cpap, oxygen generator, etc.). But keeping us and our food cool during power outages is great, too. As far as Mid-State is concerned, they’re top-notch and the only non-scam type solar provider in

    I have two systems installed by Mid Valley. They beat the competition by thousands of dollars and the response for service is incredible. I don’t know how anyone else can compete with them.

    If you are considering Solar, try Mid-State first. Aaron is great to deal with. The prices are reasonable and they stand behind their work. We have had solar electric panels put on two houses and pool heating on one. Plus I love chatting with Mary at the office. Clearly a 5 Star organization.

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

    “thousands of satisfied customers for over 45 years. Styles and products may have changed…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, family owned, established and licence number, 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 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.

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.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
