  Their Ca.Contractors License was revoked 7-2023 yet they are still contracting work. They lied to me from day one 7-2022 and my system is still not right. They would know this if they had monitored the system like they say. Sean now has offered to get my SGIP if I pay him the last little bit owed, This was part of the contract to start with. I had to hire a reputable company to file my application., because of their abandonment of my contract. So Please do your homework and check them out on the contractors website

  Pioneer Solar has been terrible to work with. The system that was not installed as designed and often goes offline. I have had a true up with PGE every year since installation and this year it is $3,000. My backup batteries have never worked properly and it takes them months to come out for service calls and months to get parts for those repairs. I wish I had gone with a different company.

  Install was good. But they have been non responsive to several significant issues. Took them a year to help get my monitoring only partially going, and my battery backup during outages often doesn't work which was the point of doing batteries! So they don't seem to care about these issues... i generate close to what i need but disappointed that the most significant infrastructure on my property isn't reliable and is undersized.

  Very good experience. Andy came out and surveyed our home and flew his drone over my property to get a sun exposure reading (no one else did this). Then he talked me through the process and shared some pros and cons concerning leasing or PPA vs owning as they do both. Then met with the owner Sean who put together a presentation of how the system works and what to expect. No high pressure sales and very comfortable friendly environment. Then James, the electrician/installer, came out and put together a plan and reviewed with me the installation process and where everything would go including th

  So far, so good! Here's our story; we obtained approx 7 estimates from both local companies (in GV/NC), as well as larger state and national companies. Price was a factor, but more importantly we were trying to beat the NEM 3.0 deadline. Additionally, we are previous solar owners, so we knew what we wanted and were really looking for a 'connection' with the solar team...someone who would work with us and not just look at us 'another install = money'. The system we wanted was 12kW system, so it is a medium homeowner job in our eyes. The price tag is higher than it used to be (our previous home

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.

• It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau and Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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.

• —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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
• —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.
