Its one and two star share is level with the typical installer in the La Jolla area. Across California, 788 of the 1,529 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 11 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around October 2025

    We are delighted with our new solar system installation. The entire process, from initial consultation to final commissioning, was smooth and professional. A special thanks to Dustin, who was incredibly responsive and ensured every detail was handled efficiently. His dedication to quality meant that both the system components and the installation work itself were top-notch. We are very happy with the results and look forward to enjoying our energy savings. Highly recommended!

    I am so grateful for having been referred to Dustin by a neighbor. He replaced a micro inverter in a solar panel saving me hundreds of dollars from the bid I had received from the company that had initially installed the solar panels. He is very knowledgeable and I appreciated his patience and accessibility when I would call with questions. If I could give him 10 stars would.

    I was referred to Dustin Merkley by a respected local roofing contractor who coordinates with him on projects involving solar. Dustin’s extensive knowledge of all things electrical, and his particular passion for--and wide expertise within--the solar industry, clearly made him over-qualified for my small project. Nevertheless, he approached the work with a “no job too small” attitude, and proved highly flexible in designing a system suited to my situation and budget—all of which, in my experience. makes him unique among today’s residential solar contractors.

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.

What the company says about itself

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

  • Years in business

    “Zero Home’s founders have committed over 40 years to electrical and solar work. We’ve…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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.
  • It posts on Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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 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.
