    Beware! I had my solar system installed in 2007 and was assured that the panels had a 25 years warranty. I called back a few months ago to get them checked out for efficiency. The gentleman that came to inspect the panels said I had 6 panels that should be replaced. I told him sure, replace them because I have a 25 year warranty. I called back a few days later, since I had t heard from them. Once I spoke to the gentleman that inspected them, he told me “the panel company went out of business and we can’t honor the warranty!” I told them that it’s unacceptable, because you guys should tell us t

    We signed a contract with Planet Solar to install a system, and paid a $1000 deposit in April 2021. 4 months later, there is no design, no building permits and they said they are closing their central California location. Do not pay a deposit with Planet Solar; reputable installers do not request a deposit. CEO/Owner Dennis and Ben, each promised the moon, but delivers an empty glass...

    a year ago we had Planet Solar install solar system on my house. I was so happy, I bragged to friends & family and even recommended Planet Solar to many people. Now I find out that the salesman for Planet Solar lied to my wife & I. I just received a bill from, PG&E for $1,400. This charge is called a NEM (net energy metering). I paid "cash" , $21,600, for my system, and I was never told that I would get a $1,400 bill at the end of the year. Now, I do not recommend this company to anyone, and I advise other potential customers not to trust them.

    They are the best! I had a terrible predicament from a company that went out of business on me (curse you, Swift Solar), and they helped me finish getting everything squared away. Immense thanks to this company!!

    My boyfriend and I purchased a house a few years ago, and the first month we moved in, the PGE was outrageously expensive. We went from $180–$200 PGE bills to $650, so we decided to look into getting solar panels. We did a lot of research and had a few solar companies come and give us estimates. We had quite a few questions to ask, and Marilyn was the one who was so patient and answered all our questions, especially the financial ones. In the end, Planet Solar had the best offer with warranty and pricing, on top of the knowledge Marilyn shared with us too. So we decided to go with Planet Solar

    I have to say that I couldn't be happier with the service and professionalism. Tim got us set up with the perfect system. Even when PG&E threw a couple obstacles our way, we navigated through them and the job was finished in a timely manner. Everyone that came out was friendly and more than happy to explain things. (I'm nosey and ask a lot of questions!) The installation is super clean. You don't see anything but the panels on the roof. No conduit or other unsightly things that I have seen on other roofs. I compared my system output with a friend who went with Solar Negotiators. Let's just say

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.

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

    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.
