Univercity Solar

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

  I do not normally leave negative reviews, but after nearly 10 years, I feel it is important to share my experience. Before posting this review, I made every reasonable effort to resolve these issues directly with the company. I sent a formal letter over a year and a half ago outlining my concerns and requesting assistance, but I never received a response. More recently, I sent another detailed email, giving the company 14 days to respond with a plan to address these longstanding issues. That deadline has now passed, and once again, I received no response. This company installed my solar system

  We had them install our solar, financed through them. I specifically asked the salesperson if that loan would be transferable since we would be selling the house, was assured it would be transferable. When house sold, we are out $60,000 because we were lied to. Beware of this company if you choose them. Don’t know what else they lied about including their product.

  "Too good to be true." Literally that was my thought throughout my recent experience with UniverCity. I'd been stalled for a year with Tesla and was giving up hope I could get my solar expansion project in before the tax credits expire. I reached out to a few local contractors, and these guys came under every other bid. In design, they managed to fit more south-facing panels with limited roof real estate, compared to two previous designs I received. Every other contractor said any new panels would be incompatible with my existing system, which was a problem since I wanted the full capacity for

  University Solar has a very friendly and highly competent customer service. David has been very polite each time I spoke with him. He asked what our usage needs are, so we won’t have a leftover bill from Edison and to make sure we weren’t paying for extra panels we didn’t need. David has kept me informed at each phase of the process from initial consultation to my panels operating. This was the easiest home improvement I did! Other companies said it would take 60-90 days for install, University solar did it in 30! They were able to cut my bill by 30%. I already recommended them to many family

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.

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  “years. With a combined experience of over 10 years, you can be confident that UniverCity…”

• 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.
• It posts on Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.

• —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.
