    I wish I could have given a better review. The first time we worked with Sunlight, for our solar, we had not issues. They were straight forward with us, provided advice for financing and have not had an issue with our solar. However, we never received instruction on how to make sure our solar is working properly. Despite that we did meet with them again to look at replacing the windows in our house. Not only did we replace the windows but we also had our house repainted. We received a good deal, but had some issues after with the communication and updates with the salesman and when the work wo

    We got these $37,000 solar panels that have not changed our electricity bill and it made four of our outlets in our house no longer work. It’s been a nightmare.

    Sunlight Solar was very helpful in answering all our questions and getting everything taken care of in a timely manner. Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to save on their electric bill!

    I would definitely refer anyone interested in roofing and solar installation to Sunlight Solar. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. Scheduling was perfect throughout the process and clean-up during and after each stage of installation was awesome. Thank you Roxanne and all Solar Sunlight people!

    Very pleased with our Enphase Solar System installed by Sunlight. James was awesome came out to give us a estimate looked overall pass bills and gave us a quote. We then wanted to revise the quote and add the backup battery storage. James, want to make sure we can get it done before the end of the year so that we wouldn't lose the tax credit. He was great helping us find funding. Our system has been installed now for about 5 months now. After the system was installed, James even came back to the house to show us how to use the app. I'm on the app daily checking what we're producing and sending

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.

  • Financing

    “energy for your home with flexible financing options tailored to your budget and needs.”

  • 24/7 availability

    “Solar Need help? Call our support 24/7 +1 (858) 293-7430…”

  • Better Business Bureau

    “We have a 5-star rating on Yelp, and A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. high…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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.
