    Aleksei did a fantastic job installing our solar panels and Tesla battery. He was honest and dependable. We first contacted him last year, after looking over our roof, he told us that he would not do it as our roof was on the old side, that he can’t guarantee it being leakproof. After changing our roof, we contacted him again this year and had it done. He was responsive, on time, worked fast and efficient, kept things clean. We are very happy with our solar system.

    I recently hired Aleksei from Solar Engineering to install a Tesla Wall Charger at my home in San Carlos, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Aleksei was professional, highly knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. When giving me the initial quote, he took the time to review photos of my panel and explain my options. Because I have an existing solar system and a 100A panel, he gave me distinct paths forward: a standard breaker setup or a dynamic load management solution using the Tesla remote meter to achieve full charging safely. His technical expertise was o

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, free estimate, bonded, insured, licensed and licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

    Elsewhere

    • It is also reviewed on Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
    • It posts on Instagram and YouTube. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

    As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

    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.
    • Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. San Mateo 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.
