What reviewers said
5★ · around October 2025
Symmetric Energy installed a 21kW ground-mount system with 40kWh battery storage. I'm really happy with the result and the process. Leila, Tristan, and everyone else at Symmetric Energy were wonderful to work with. They were friendly, walked us through everything, and explained all our options—without any of the sales-pressure tactics you sometimes get from others. They also handled absolutely everything with PG&E. The whole process was very straightforward and the end result is a solar loan that's about half of what our power bill used to be!

Symmetric Energy in Sausalito did a great job with my solar installation! The team was really friendly and knew their stuff. They explained the process well, though there were a couple of times where I had to follow up on things like timing, but overall, everything went smoothly. The installation itself was quick and now everything is working perfectly. Elliott was extremely helpful. I liked that he took the time to make sure the system was set up right for my home’s needs. He was easy to reach when I had questions. If you’re thinking about solar, I definitely recommend giving them a try!

After years of wanting solar and being overwhelmed by options and conflicting reviews of other companies, I finally talked with Seth at Symmetric Energy and he, Elliot and Marius made the decision and process so easy for us. They and their electricians are incredibly professional and easy to work with. The panel and battery system is easy to follow and we're happy to finally have solar and the piece of mind that comes with their workmanship and warranty. Thank you, Symmetric, for helping us make this project a reality!

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
“leases, direct purchase, and PACE financing available Federal ITC and applicable state…”
Warranty
“We monitor performance, handle warranty claims, and stay available for the…”
Years in business
“typically delivers 15–22% IRR over 25 years when you combine the 30% Section 48E…”
Its website also mentions free estimate, established, 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.

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.
