What reviewers said
5★ · around June 2026
I had a large project with a service upgrade and a new roof. Overall the SC team was fantastic. They really rolled with the punches, and is clearly very knowledgeable on the solar side. So happy I don't have those ugly conduits running all over the roof. The battery side however leaves something to be desired. They were wanting to install the battery on the outside of my home instead of the basement where I thought it was going to go. I cannot stress enough, don't agree to that. We compromised and put it in the garage for the safety of the crew (heavy to get downstairs). Do not let them put it

I have been working with Solar Seth Requena he certainly has earned his name. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Has answered all my questions and a joy to work with. I highly recommend Sun collectors and Seth Requena. Installation has been completed Bredan did an outstanding job! Kate and Jackie in the office are always there to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Nothing but 100% Superior Customer Service. If you are considering going Solar. This is the Company to go with!

Seth and Kate, along with the entire Sun Collector family, have been absolutely amazing to work with. From start to finish, they’ve been professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to answer all my questions and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear they truly care about their clients and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy team!

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.
24/7 availability
“keep them clean. We provide a free, 24/7 active system monitoring app so you…”
Its website also mentions veteran owned, warranty, free estimate, bonded, insured and licensed, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau. 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 Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram. 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.
