#120 of 678 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does Affordable Home Solar compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Affordable Home Solar builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Affordable Home Solar reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback across Google and Yelp, updated September 28, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.6/10

Reviewers generally describe the sales process as clear, helpful, and well organized, with several noting that proposals and planning steps were handled efficiently. A small number of comments point to a less favorable pre-sale experience, but complaint mentions are rare in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear proposals and planning. Reviewers say the company explained the work, completed proposal and inspection steps efficiently, and helped move paperwork along when timing mattered. Representative review excerpt: "Initial discussion, proposal, site inspection and city plan check were completed in 3 weeks."

Helpful with incentive timing. Some reviewers report the team submitted paperwork in time to meet incentive timing deadlines and kept the process moving under pressure. Representative review excerpt: "They submitted all paperwork to get me in before the nem 2.0 sunset, this despite only giving them about a month before the deadline."

Occasional pre-sale concern. One reviewer describes requesting a quote and sharing detailed project information but not getting the response they expected. Representative review excerpt: "I requested a quote for solar providing all the necessary information including home address, electrical usage, cost of kW/h, future plans, etc."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.1/10

Most reviewers describe pricing and financing as straightforward, with several saying the discussed price was honored and the overall cost felt reasonable. A smaller set of comments raises concerns about initially high pricing or changes tied to equipment availability and upgrades.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Price often honored. Reviewers say the price discussed upfront was respected even when installation happened months later. Representative review excerpt: "The price as discussed was honored despite installation being roughly 8 months after initial signing."

Reasonable cost perceptions. Some reviewers describe the installation price as reasonable and the process as smooth from a cost standpoint. Representative review excerpt: "The installation is smooth, and the price is reasonable."

Watch-out on pricing adjustments. A few reviewers report needing to push back on initial pricing or encountering changes when specified panels were unavailable and upgraded equipment affected the invoice. Representative review excerpt: "They quoted high prices initially and I had to work on them to get the price down that cost me a lot of time."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.8/10

Reviewers mostly describe responsive coordination, clear handoffs, and helpful support across the project. There are a few notes about slower email replies or less-than-ideal early communication, but those comments are limited relative to the positive feedback.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear technical guidance. Reviewers say the team explained the work, answered questions, and offered choices during coordination. Representative review excerpt: "They are technically knowledgeable in electrical work and in my system technicalities; they described to me the work to be done; they provided me choices; they answered my questions; they..."

Strong project support. Some reviewers report the company handled paperwork, project ownership, and later service issues well, including support on an older system. Representative review excerpt: "I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service your team provided in resolving the circuit breaker issue with my Dad's solar system installed couple years ago."

Some slower responses. A reviewer notes that email responses were not always the quickest, though they still described the overall value as good. Representative review excerpt: "Communications/responses to emails was not always the quickest but adequate and I would say overall the company provides great value."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.7/10

Reviewers generally describe schedule handling, permitting, and activation as reliable and well coordinated. Most comments are positive, with only a small number suggesting customers should plan ahead for a busy schedule.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Permitting and commissioning handled. Reviewers say the team managed permitting and commissioning smoothly, including projects that moved from install to activation without major issues. Representative review excerpt: "Meo and team installed my battery backup over the last month, handled all the permitting and everything, and commissioned it Friday."

Flexible on scheduling. Some reviewers report the company adjusted install dates or worked around roof-replacement timing in a way that kept the project moving. Representative review excerpt: "Great roofing referral and easy to work around timeline of roof replacement."

Plan ahead if needed. One reviewer advises allowing extra time because the schedule can be busy, even while still recommending the company. Representative review excerpt: "Would definitely recommend using Affordable Home Solar, but plan ahead at least a couple months to accommodate busy schedule and you'll be very pleased."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.2/10

Reviews are strongly positive about installation quality, crew professionalism, and site care. Customers frequently mention clean work, careful handling of the roof and yard, and installations that looked good when finished.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional install quality. Reviewers say the crews showed up on time, worked professionally, and left the job looking clean and well finished. Representative review excerpt: "They did show up on time, perhaps a few minutes early, and their work was clean and professional."

Careful on site. Some reviewers describe installers as careful with the roof and yard and thorough about cleanup after the job. Representative review excerpt: "Installer was on his game, careful with our roof and yard, and cleaned up after himself."

Good fit for the property. One reviewer says the on-site inspection addressed roof conditions thoughtfully and the installation was handled smoothly. Representative review excerpt: "Meo came out to do the on-site inspection, stated that they've installed panels on lightweight concrete tiles like ours before without any problems, that we didn't need a panel upgrade..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.8/10

Reviewers generally report that systems continue performing well after installation and that follow-up support is effective when issues come up. Feedback in this category is uniformly positive, including comments about repairs, monitoring fixes, and steady operation over time.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Systems still working well. Reviewers say their systems have continued operating well months or even a year after installation. Representative review excerpt: "It's been a year since the install and it's all still working great."

Responsive post-install help. Some reviewers describe successful follow-up support for issues such as a circuit breaker problem or a monitoring app mapping issue. Representative review excerpt: "I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service your team provided in resolving the circuit breaker issue with my Dad's solar system installed couple years ago."

Commissioning completed cleanly. Reviewers also note that battery backup and commissioning steps were handled smoothly as part of the handoff. Representative review excerpt: "Meo and team installed my battery backup over the last month, handled all the permitting and everything, and commissioned it Friday."

Bottom line: Affordable Home Solar earns strong review marks overall, with especially positive feedback on workmanship, timeline reliability, and long-term support. Reviewers also describe generally good communication and clear proposals, while pricing and pre-sale responsiveness draw a smaller number of cautious comments.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
