Its one and two star share is 1 point above the typical installer in Fresno. Across California, 574 of the 1,529 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

My wife and I contacted Solar Negotiators about a ground mount solar system. After providing them with information they requested (3) three times, iver the course of 40 days, we never recieved an answer to our request for a quote. We even sent an email to the CEO, Chris Moran, informed him of our request and how it has been handled........ NO return email. VERY rude!!!!!! At least send a response even if it is to inform us they don't want to do business. VERY unimpressed!!!!!! Also you cant leave your review unless you give them a one star review.

The communication and customer service of this company has been very disappointed. I have had to be the one calling around and finding out why it has taken so long for my solar to get up and running. I was the one who found the discrepancy the city had with the paperwork. I’m the one that is calling in trying to get my system online. I’m the one who called yesterday to let them know everything was up and running and I needed to be onboarded. Of course they said they would call me right back to do that and I still haven’t heard from them so once again I will have to be the one to call request s

I’m the owner of a company that is in the service industry as well. My name is Tim Kerber. And I am reviewing Solar Negotiators as a private customer. We had them put Solar on our house. It was a very large residential system. The amount of things that I can complain about is insane. I could not imagine treating my clients the way that this company has treated us. Less than 1 star.

it was funny, one day I called Petersen Dean, my solar providers and Solar Negotiators kept answering their lines. I, finally, realized that it was, sort of, a scam, somehow they bought Petersen Deans number. I, did, however, speak to them and eventually started a maintenance plan with them that would include, 30% off of labor 2 panel cleaning and monitoring my panels. I guess that we figured that by monitoring them that if something went wrong they would let us know. That NEVER happened, I noticed that our solar production was quite low. I called Solar Negotiators and they set up an inspectio

I highly recommend Solar Negotiators for all your solar needs. They were amazing. From the initial visit with Garrett to “turn on” was less than a month. Garrett came to the initial visit with the owner, Chris. The sales pitch was no pressure, and they gave me the best deal. Garrett was always available for any questions. The workers and technicians were always on time for the appointment. Before contacting them, I dealt with Tesla and Sunrun. Neither was responsive and sometimes didn’t show up within the 4-hour appointment window. Thus, I ended up canceling with both companies before going wi

We have our panels cleaned twice a year and the technicians are always on time and courteous. Never a mess left behind and the panels look terrific. Very comprehensive cleaning and check of the entire system. Very happy w/ Solar Maintenance Pros service!

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.
Free estimate
“or concerns you may have. Request a Free Quote Please enable JavaScript in your…”
Its website also mentions financing, warranty and licensed, 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 X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
