SoCal Solar Brokers

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

  We were exploring solar options for our new home and had received an estimate that left us unsure about the price. Then we connected with SoCal Solar Brokers in San Diego, CA. Their estimate was incredibly accurate and competitive, giving us the confidence we needed. They are a great company to start with before getting bids from others – they truly helped us understand the value and make the right choice for our home!

  We have just completed an installation working with Alex Margolies. He has been fantastic throughout the process. Never too busy to take a call, always extremely responsive and made it clear from the outset that he would take ownership of every aspect of the installation...and he did! If you're looking for a professional, clear, cost effective, one-stop shop solar installation then look no further.

  Phenomenal service from Alex Margolies. Responsive and straight forward, no upselling. Got us a system that fit our needs. We got a couple of quotes from various solar companies and Alex was able to get us comparable products and warranties at a great deal (3.5 kW system). I imagine the savings would be greater on a larger system. He explained that since they give their installation partners consistent volume, they are able to get wholesale pricing and cut a lot of the markups associated with the typical solar installation. Our installers were on time, professional, and responsive (A+ BBB rati

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 Houzz 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.

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.
