Its one and two star share is 3 points below the typical installer in Virginia Beach. Across Virginia, 56 of the 118 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 23 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Each mark is one company we hold in Virginia Beach whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. The Solar Guy is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

  • 5★ · around August 2025

    Erik was easy to work with and always picked up his phone. Reliable and straightforward, thank you. Extremely happy with how everything went

  • 5★ · around August 2025 · the company replied

    We have had an excellent experience working with The Solar Guy. Of all the quotes we got, he had the best prices/financing options. He was very communicative throughout the whole process. Installation went well and occured well within estimated time frame. I would recommend that anyone who is looking into solar give him a call!

    The solar guy had the best offers and was able to present us with better solar panel options than other competitors in the area. By far the best deal.

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 and 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.

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.

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.
