Its one and two star share is 5 points below the typical installer in the Lakeside area. Across California, 788 of the 1,529 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 4 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

What reviewers said

    Great job on my solar system installation. I will always recommend John for any friends who need solar.

    TDC solar is San Diego’s go to solar company. John was very helpful and was knowledgeable. He broke down numbers, material and the job details way more then any other company. His estimate was equal or better with higher quality panels. I definitely recommend John and his crew if you want experienced solar technicians. Great job guys.

    TDC was recommended to us by a work colleague and did the initial solar install at our home in 2018. We recently had our roof replaced and John was very responsive in coordinating removal of solar panels so the roof work could commence as planned. He also helped us add a few more solar panels after completion of the roof work. We really appreciate John's diligence and willingness to coordinate with our roofer and would definitely recommended TDC to others who are seeking solar but don't want to hire one of the larger companies.

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

    “You Can Trust TDC Solar has been family owned and operated since 2000 serving all…”

  • Established

    “has been family owned and operated since 2000 serving all of San Diego County.”

Its website also mentions warranty 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.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

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.
