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

How does Evo 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 Evo 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.

Evo 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 Integrity7.0/10

Reviewers generally describe EVO ENERGY’s sales and proposal process as clear and straightforward. The available reviews in this category are all positive, with no complaint pattern showing up in the corpus.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure proposals. Reviewers say the estimate and proposal process was straightforward, and at least one describes the quoted work as being completed at the price provided. The overall pattern in this category leans positive on clarity and expectation-setting. Representative review excerpt: "They came by the house to prepare their estimate and did the work for the price they provided (which was lower than the other 2 we received)."

Helpful problem-solving. One reviewer describes a technician helping troubleshoot a charging-station issue at home, which reflects a hands-on approach to customer needs. This supports the generally positive view of the sales and planning experience. Representative review excerpt: "Ronald came to my house helped me trouble shoot a problem I was having installing a charging station."

Proposal follow-through. Reviewers also describe the team as handling permitting-related coordination as part of the quoted scope, reinforcing that expectations were presented and managed as part of the project setup. Representative review excerpt: "Their team also handled setting up time with the city to ensure proper permitting was in place."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.8/10

Reviewers mostly describe EVO ENERGY as transparent about pricing, deposits, and project costs. The category is entirely positive in the evidence set, with no reported complaint pattern around surprise costs or financing confusion.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Quoted pricing matched the work. Reviewers say the company completed the work for the price that had been provided, which supports a sense of pricing clarity. In the corpus, this shows up as a straightforward, no-surprise billing experience. Representative review excerpt: "They came by the house to prepare their estimate and did the work for the price they provided (which was lower than the other 2 we received)."

Pricing estimates. These comments point to a positive read on pricing transparency and value. Representative review excerpt: "He provided excellent service, was punctual and reliable, executed the work neatly and as promised, and was competitive in his price."

Permitting and project setup included. Reviewers also mention the team handling city scheduling and permitting setup, which suggests the pricing conversation covered more than just labor and equipment and did not leave those details unclear. Representative review excerpt: "Their team also handled setting up time with the city to ensure proper permitting was in place."

Communication & coordination

Communication6.3/10

Reviewers describe a split picture on communication and coordination. Several praise responsiveness, project management, and permit handling, while others say calls and emails went unanswered or that they had to chase updates themselves.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive project management. Some reviewers describe the project manager and team as prompt, responsive, and professional. These comments suggest that coordination could be strong when communication stayed on track. Representative review excerpt: "He was always prompt, responsive to calls and email, and professional."

Permit and city coordination. Reviewers also say the team handled scheduling with the city to keep permitting in place. That points to solid handoff management on some projects. Representative review excerpt: "Their team also handled setting up time with the city to ensure proper permitting was in place."

Unreturned calls and emails. Other reviewers report difficulty reaching the company, saying phone calls and emails were not returned. This is the main complaint pattern in the category and shows uneven follow-through on customer communication. Representative review excerpt: "I can't believe this wasn't done but EVO is neither returning phone calls nor emails."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.5/10

Reviewers give EVO ENERGY a mixed but still somewhat positive read on scheduling and activation timing. Many describe on-time installs or smooth permitting steps, though a smaller set reports delays, inspection backlogs, or having to manage part of the process themselves.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-time and timely installs. Several reviewers say the installer arrived on time and completed the work in a timely manner. This supports the positive side of the timeline score. Representative review excerpt: "Nothing to complain, the installer was on time and complete the work in a timely manner."

Inspection and permitting handled. Reviewers also mention the team coming back for inspection or handling city permitting setup. That suggests many projects moved through the process without major scheduling friction. Representative review excerpt: "The installation went smoothly and they came back for the inspection."

Delays and customer-managed steps. A smaller set of reviews mentions delays, inspection backlog, or the customer needing to schedule an inspection themselves to speed things up. These comments show that timing and activation were not always fully managed end to end. Representative review excerpt: "I had to schedule the inspection myself with the city of Oakland not because they asked me to but because I wanted it done soon."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.9/10

Reviewers are strongly positive about installation quality and crew professionalism. The available evidence focuses on clean, correct, and smooth installs, with no complaint pattern in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean, correct installations. Reviewers say chargers and solar equipment were installed correctly the first time and looked attractive once finished. This is the strongest area in the review set. Representative review excerpt: "The level 2 charger that they installed at my home was done correctly the 1st time and was very attractive in the way that it was installed and it was..."

Solar and EV work completed smoothly. Multiple reviewers describe the work as going smoothly, including projects that involved both solar panels and an EV charger. That suggests solid workmanship across different job types. Representative review excerpt: "They did a great job installing solar panels and an electric charger for my car."

Follow-through after install. Some reviewers also note that the crew returned for inspection after the installation. That reflects careful completion and site follow-through. Representative review excerpt: "The installation went smoothly and they came back for the inspection."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.4/10

The post-install support picture is limited but mixed. One review is positive about the quoted work, while other reviews raise concerns about follow-up costs and issues after the project was underway or completed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Extra repair-related costs reported. Another reviewer says they ended up paying extra for repairs and submission-related work after the fact. That raises a concern about how support issues were handled after the initial installation. Representative review excerpt: "Now stuck with paying extra $$ for repairs and pge submission."

Limited evidence overall. Because this category has only a few reviews, the evidence is thin, but the available feedback does include post-install concerns rather than a uniformly positive service record. Representative review excerpt: "Now stuck with paying extra $$ for repairs and pge submission."

Positive project follow-through. One reviewer describes the work being completed at the quoted price, which suggests at least some post-sale follow-through aligned with expectations. Representative review excerpt: "They came by the house to prepare their estimate and did the work for the price they provided (which was lower than the other 2 we received)."

Bottom line: EVO ENERGY’s review profile is strongest on workmanship and generally solid on sales clarity and pricing transparency. The main soft spots are communication, coordination, and post-install support, where reviewers describe missed callbacks, uneven follow-through, and some timing issues. Overall, the corpus points to a capable installer with a few recurring service-process concerns.

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.
