    When we were looking for a solar installer so we could take advantage of the NEM 2.0 program before PG&E discontinued it, our friends recommended SolarTecture based on their own positive experience, and we are very thankful. George, Tracie, and the rest of the team at SolarTecture were a pleasure to work with during the process, and were extremely accommodating of our schedule and timeline needs. We've now gotten our final approval from PG&E and are generating solar power; I am looking forward to working with them down the line to add battery storage and a generator.

    We were extremely happy with the SolarTecture installation of a large solar project (24 solar panels, a complex 200A electrical panel upgrade and a backup battery) at our home in Monterey. George Porter, co-owner, was very knowledgeable and hands-on for the whole project. He listened to our goals, looked at our specific situation, and provided a plan to meet our needs. He and his crew were always respectful and hardworking. His crew also did the electrical for the conversation to electrical water heaters and furnace. The city inspectors were always very impressed with his work. We feel more co

    I had multiple bids, but George's was the only one that showed careful analysis and consideration of location and site. It is working as he said it wood. It took longer to complete than I would have liked (a lot of people applied to get work done under the old PG&E rate structure), which was expected, but it did take a long time. The quality is excellent, and the system makes sense and is easy to use.

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.

  • Family owned

    “company for over 20 years. Still a family owned and operated business, a son proud to…”

Its website also mentions years in business, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • Google also lists this company under electrical, roofing and windows. A company that does both roofing and solar can handle the roof work a panel install often needs.
  • It posts on Instagram and Facebook. 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.

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.
