We have had these panels for several years and we would like to get a hold of them so we can repair some things and make sure they work, but when you call their phone number it rings once and then hangs up on you. Why can’t we talk to a real person. Plus when they installed them originally to our 1 year old roof, they damaged our roof so that it took a 30 year roof to a 10 year roof. They punched a bunch of holes to install them but realized all the holes were in the wrong spot so had to patch and make all new holes. I am not happy with their customer service at all.

Tesla Solar handled our solar installation in a way that felt very organized and efficient. We needed panels installed on both the main house and a detached workshop, so I expected some complications with wiring and permitting. Instead, they coordinated the entire process carefully and kept us informed about each phase. The installers arrived on time each day and explained the inverter placement before beginning work. After activation, the system monitoring platform worked immediately and the projected output has matched actual production closely. I appreciated the balanced approach they took

I had been researching solar companies for nearly a year before deciding to move forward with these guys. The consultation focused more on realistic energy output than exaggerated promises, which made the experience feel trustworthy. They installed a grid tied system with microinverters and provided clear documentation for every component used. During installation, the crew communicated well and worked efficiently without leaving debris around the property. The city inspection and utility approval process moved faster than I expected because they handled most of the coordination directly. Sinc

I had a larger system installed since I wanted to offset most of my home’s electricity use. The crew was very clear about how many panels were needed and why that number was chosen. During installation, everything was double checked, and they even tested the breakers with me present. It was a very transparent process that left me confident. The energy output so far has been consistent with the initial projections.

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.

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.
