    Poating this review for consumer awareness. I've received 25 calls from the spam and robo callers who say they are working for this company. They say they are licensed but refuse to provide their license information. There is no listing for them on the CSLB These are the folks responsible for calling you repeatedly at all hours. Please don't condone this behavior by working with them.

    I wanted to bring to your attention some concerning issues regarding The Energy company I have recently worked with. Unfortunately, I have experienced firsthand their failure to fully compensate for the work completed, including withholding commission payments for no aparent reason. This has led to legal complications for both contractors and customers. I strongly advise caution when considering any business dealings with this company, as their financial instability has resulted in unfinished projects and dissatisfied customers.

    I started this project in November 2023. I had my solar panels installed in January 2024. The electrical panel was to be upgraded also. I have contacted The Energy Co many times, both email and phone message concerning the status of my panel upgrade. As of July 2024 the permit is still sitting in my city planning division and is awaiting 2 corrections. The energy company will not make the corrections and will not finish my project. I have $20,000 worth of solar panels sitting on my roof, doing NOTHING. This is the worst company I have ever worked with.

    I chose The Energy Company mainly because of the flexibility in their solar energy plans. The pricing was competitive, and everything was explained clearly. Communication has been solid, and I feel confident in the agreement I signed. No issues so far.

    I couldn't be more thrilled with the solar and storage system installed by The Energy Company. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. The initial consultation with Josh was informative and tailored to my specific energy needs. Installation was completed efficiently and ahead of schedule. The crew was courteous, clean, and meticulous in their work. They took great care to ensure all wiring was neatly concealed and the overall installation looked sleek. The battery storage system they recommended has been a game-changer, providing reliable backup

    I recently had solar installed by The Energy Company on my house in San Diego, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. The Energy Company covered a portion of my re-roof and coordinated all the work and scheduling with the contractor and the city. The solar and battery installation was completed in one day and the inspection with the city was completed the following week. We expected to receive activation from SDGE in 60-90 days, but SDGE approved it in 21 days. Overall, it was great experience and I highly recommend

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 the Better Business Bureau. 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.

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.

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.
