How does Clear Day Energy 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 Clear Day Energy 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.

Clear Day Energy reviews: what customers say

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

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.4/10

Reviewers most often describe the sales process as informative and low-pressure, with several noting that proposals were clear and tailored to the home or project. A small number of complaints mention follow-up that felt overly persistent or a mismatch between the initial discussion and later expectations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, tailored proposals. Reviewers say the sales team took time to explain system options and design plans, including more customized setups and component choices. This suggests the proposal process was often detailed and specific to the project. Representative review excerpt: "Elvin was nice enough to draw a plan to add a 2nd system, retrofit the existing system and add individual micro-inverters to each panel, so we can monitor the entire..."

Low-pressure sales approach. Several reviewers say they did not feel pushed to buy, and appreciated the absence of pressure during the sales conversation. That pattern appears more common than complaints in this category. Representative review excerpt: "There was no sales pressure to purchase and I appreciated that very much."

Follow-up concerns. A small set of reviewers describe unwanted repeated outreach or say the sales discussion did not fully match what happened later. Those concerns are present, but they are not the dominant pattern in the review set. Representative review excerpt: "i got tied of it and asked them that i not interested in working with them but they keep emailing and texting me till 11 pm .."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.0/10

Most reviewers describe pricing and financing as understandable enough to move forward with confidence, and several link the project to favorable bill outcomes after installation. A smaller number report issues tied to timing, follow-up, or expectations around the final arrangement.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Positive bill outcomes. Reviewers frequently point to reduced utility charges after the system went live, which they cite as evidence that the project value made sense for them. These comments suggest the financial outcome was clear in practice for many customers. Representative review excerpt: "so no more true-up bills, my last bill was only $34 for the 6 months the new one had been running, keep in mind that in Jan 2022 when the..."

Projected production met. Some reviewers say the system produced as projected, which they connect to the clarity of the original analysis and value discussion. That kind of feedback supports the sense that expectations were generally set well. Representative review excerpt: "Professional solar analysis from my agent, Elvin; produce the energy as projected, even though i am concerned with the shades of the big tree in my backyard."

Timing and follow-up complaints. A small number of reviewers describe delays in callbacks or unresolved questions after the sale, which affected how transparent the experience felt to them. These complaints are limited, but they do show up in the corpus. Representative review excerpt: "After few days of no show, I was able to talk to Josh (after many attempts) and he promised to call me back in five minutes with the updated installation..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.2/10

Reviewers often describe responsive staff, helpful troubleshooting, and smooth coordination across the project. The main complaint pattern is that a few customers experienced missed follow-up, difficulty getting responses, or outreach that continued after they were no longer interested.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive problem-solving. Several reviewers say the team was helpful when issues came up, including diagnosing problems and arranging replacement parts. That suggests post-sale coordination was often handled with real attention. Representative review excerpt: "Recently we had an inverter issue, and their team has been very responsive and helpful in diagnosing the problem and ordering the replacement."

Helpful onsite support. Reviewers also note prompt service visits and clear explanations when work needed to be completed. In those accounts, communication and coordination were described as practical and easy to work with. Representative review excerpt: "Got here on time and fixed the problem promptly and was very informative"

Unreturned calls and persistent outreach. A smaller group of reviewers report difficulty getting callbacks or being contacted repeatedly after they had indicated they were not interested. Those reports point to occasional breakdowns in communication handling. Representative review excerpt: "i got tied of it and asked them that i not interested in working with them but they keep emailing and texting me till 11 pm .."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Many reviewers say scheduling stayed on track, with crews arriving when expected and projects finishing sooner than anticipated. A few complaints and mixed reports mention delays, no-shows, or longer waits for installation and related steps.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Arrived as scheduled. Reviewers say crews showed up on the days and times promised, which indicates good day-of coordination for many jobs. That punctuality is one of the more consistent themes in the timeline feedback. Representative review excerpt: "They show up as stated on scheduled days and time."

Faster-than-expected completion. Some customers report that work started or finished earlier than expected, and others describe quick installation timelines. These comments suggest the schedule was often managed efficiently once the job was underway. Representative review excerpt: "Excellent communication and was able to start/finish earlier than expected."

Delays and no-shows. A smaller set of reviewers describe missed appointments, delays in getting updates, or installation waits that stretched longer than they wanted. The category remains positive overall, but timeline reliability is not uniform across all reviews. Representative review excerpt: "After few days of no show, I was able to talk to Josh (after many attempts) and he promised to call me back in five minutes with the updated installation..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.1/10

Reviewers overwhelmingly describe solid installation quality, professional crews, and careful handling of the worksite. Complaints are rare in this category, with only one review in the evidence set describing a serious gap in follow-through.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installation crews. Reviewers frequently describe the installation team as professional and efficient, with some noting an early arrival and little waiting around. That feedback points to a consistently competent field crew. Representative review excerpt: "The crew of two came early👍🏽 No waiting around."

Clean, timely completion. Several customers say the work was completed in a timely manner and the project was wrapped up cleanly. This is one of the strongest areas in the review set. Representative review excerpt: "Project to be completed in another day and appreciate their completion in a timely manner."

Rare follow-through complaint. One reviewer reports that work stopped after installation had begun and that the crew did not return as expected. This is an isolated complaint relative to the otherwise very positive workmanship feedback. Representative review excerpt: "They installed the panels, collected a check, work for few more days and they have not showed up for work for over 4 weeks."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.5/10

This is the strongest category in the review corpus. Reviewers commonly describe dependable system performance, helpful post-install support, and quick responses when monitoring or equipment issues came up; complaints are rare.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong long-term production. Reviewers often say their systems have continued performing well over time, including reports of favorable energy production and no true-up charges over multiple years. These comments form the core of the category's positive rating. Representative review excerpt: "I haven't paid a true up in the four years that my system has been in place."

Helpful post-install support. Some reviewers describe customer service as responsive and practical when they needed help after activation, including support with troubleshooting and follow-up questions. That pattern suggests ongoing service is a meaningful strength. Representative review excerpt: "Customer service has been excellent so far, and we appreciate how quickly they’ve been working with us to resolve it."

Occasional access or service issues. A small number of reviewers report difficulty getting data access or resolving follow-up questions after the system was live. Those complaints are limited relative to the larger volume of praise. Representative review excerpt: "It has been one year since we moved in and they have not given any homeowner access to the solar panel data."

Bottom line: Clear Day Energy’s review profile is broadly positive, with especially strong feedback on workmanship and long-term system support. The most common concerns are not about the installation quality itself, but about occasional communication gaps, timeline delays, and a small number of pricing or follow-up complaints.

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.
