    Do not recommend this Tesla solar at all really bad experience

    I was a big fan of Tesla Solar, Tesla car, everything with Tesla name but do not like what’s happening to it. Must wouldn’t like it either but he is concentrating on Mars not solar energy so maybe that’s the reason why Tesla Solar goes down the tubes

    I had solar panels installed on my home a few months ago and the experience went quite smoothly overall. The staff walked me through each step of the permitting process, which was reassuring since I had no idea how complicated that might be. Installation day was efficient, the crew arrived when they said they would, and the system was up and running by the afternoon. What stood out most was how clear the explanation was about the inverter monitoring system, so I could track my daily energy output. Since then, my electric bill has dropped steadily. I also appreciate that they cleaned up every p

    Tesla Solar installed our solar panels on a detached garage roof because the main house had too much shading from nearby trees. Their team evaluated the property carefully and recommended a setup that made practical sense instead of forcing the largest system possible. The installers worked quietly and kept the jobsite tidy during the entire project. I appreciated the updates during permit approvals because local processing times were slower than expected. Once activated, the system started reducing our daytime electric usage right away. The app for monitoring generation is straightforward and

    I had been comparing residential solar companies for several months before choosing these guys for our rooftop installation. They explained the differences between monocrystalline panels and other options without trying to oversell us. The quote included details about inverter efficiency, estimated kilowatt production, and the projected payback period. Installation moved faster then expected, and the crew coordinated inspections with the utility company without requiring much involvement from us. One thing I noticed was how carefully they protected landscaping around the work area. After activ

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.

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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • 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.
