    We are filing a lawsuit with the FTC for the rampant spam phonecalls. We have told every call and have record reports of at least 10 sales calls.

    UPDATE - changed from 1 star to 3 (further adjustment determined by contracted maintenance /repairs) - The fact that my property is large and the install was difficult does not excuse the significant delay in reimbursing me for my damages. Ryan knew the scope of work for the install and potential for issues. The check wasn't sent until after I posted a negative review, and then promised to update the review. I don't think Ryan is a bad person, I actually like him very much. He just didn't handle this well or in a reasonable amount of time. I understand things happen with construction. I happen

    After getting tired of solar sales calls, I finally talked to Ryan. He took the time to answer my questions and didn't press me when I wasn't sure about proceeding. I would recommend Socal Energy Solutions to anyone!

    I was looking for someone to install more panels for our needs when I had an existing system. One conversation and we were on our way. Everything promised was delivered and on time. We are now meeting our needs and even exporting back to grid.

    I had an outstanding experience with SocalEnergySolutions and especially with Ryan! From start to finish, Ryan went above and beyond to ensure that I was kept in the loop throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer my questions and made sure I fully understood each step along the way. What really stood out to me was Ryan’s commitment to fighting tooth and nail to get me the best possible price. He truly went the extra mile to ensure I got the most value for my investment, and his dedication was evident in the results. Even when some financing companies turned me down, he k

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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. National City is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
  • 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.
