    We hired Poco to install a solar-thermal pool heating system back in 2020 based on our contractors recommendation. At the time they were very responsive, did a good job with the install and follow-up. More recently, we've had 4 panels that …

    Fast collecting payment but slow in providing service. Actually still waiting for someone to fix the problem for the last month.

    No one ever answers the phone, and no-one calls back. I have been a customer for 8+ years, and am very frustrated

    In 2024 we used Poco Solar to fix a leak in our aging solar panels. When we noticed a new leak recently, we called Poco Solar and was able to get service appt. the next week. Eddie arrived on time. He explained what the issue was and fixed the problem for us at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Poco Solar.

    Poco is a very friendly family owned solar company. Their hands on work is excellent and have serviced my pool Solar system for many years. The only reason I awarded them a score of 4 vs a score of 5 is because they are consistently busy and getting appointments for service or repair can be difficult. Their quality of work and professionalism is a strong 5. If you can tolerate appt patience, I highly recommend poco for you Solar needs.

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

    “our team of local experts has over 150 years of knowledge and solar electric…”

Its website also mentions free estimate and established, 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.
