How does Got Watts Electric & 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 Got Watts Electric & 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.

Got Watts Electric & Solar reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback, updated September 23, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.2/10

Reviewers generally describe the sales process as clear, patient, and helpful, with representatives taking time to explain equipment choices and proposal details. The category is strongly positive overall, with a rare complaint pattern rather than a broad theme.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful guidance on equipment and scope. Reviewers say the sales team helped them choose appropriate equipment and stayed involved through the installation and permission-to-operate process. Representative review excerpt: "She helped us make the right equipment decisions and then stayed with us when needed through the whole installation and permission to operate process."

Prompt, detailed quote follow-up. Several reviewers describe the quoting process as responsive and informative, including follow-up after the initial proposal and explanations that went beyond normal business hours. Representative review excerpt: "Jarrett, my initial point of contact, was prompt in providing a quote, and took time to explain it even past the regular working hours."

Rare concern about expectations. A small number of reviewers report disappointment that the system did not perform as expected and that support felt limited after the sale. Representative review excerpt: "So while as others have said, they are pleasant, and easy to work with, don't expect the system to work as advertised, or for them to provide good support."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.9/10

Reviewers mostly describe pricing and financing discussions as straightforward, with several noting helpful explanations and assistance arranging project funding. A smaller set of comments points to concern about cost clarity or pricing expectations, so this category reads as positive-to-mixed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful financing and estimates. Reviewers say staff helped connect them with financing options and coordinated estimates for related project needs. Representative review excerpt: "He helped get estimates from roofers and connected me with TCU for project loans."

Clear, low-pressure explanations. Multiple reviewers describe the team as knowledgeable and willing to answer questions thoroughly without pushy tactics. Representative review excerpt: "Jarrett and Jeremy were incredibly knowledgeable during the initial process, answering every question thoroughly without any pushy tactics."

Some cost concerns. A small number of reviews raise concern about pricing or billing expectations, including comments that suggest the final cost felt less transparent than hoped. Representative review excerpt: "I called a plumber and he was here for 2 hours, replaced both pumps, electric connection on one of the outlets and charged me $230 plus the pump costs."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.8/10

Reviewers overwhelmingly describe the team as responsive, organized, and easy to reach during projects. Most comments focus on good handoffs, clear updates, and project managers who follow through, while only a few reviews mention communication frustrations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive project management. Reviewers say project managers were patient, attentive, and reliable about following through on commitments. Representative review excerpt: "Dan was our project manager and was absolutely fantastic—patient, smart, and always followed through on every commitment."

Helpful status updates. Several reviewers mention that online updates and regular communication made it easier to track project progress. Representative review excerpt: "Their online project updates were especially helpful for people like me who want to know where things stand throughout the project."

A few support complaints. A small number of reviewers describe communication lapses or responses that felt unhelpful when they needed support after installation. Representative review excerpt: "The response I got from last November via email made it sound like it was my fault for not operating the transfer switch correctly."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.3/10

Most reviewers report that projects moved forward at a steady pace and that the company managed installation and permitting steps without major disruption. The overall pattern is positive, though there are occasional notes about scheduling delays or longer-than-expected wait times.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Smooth installation flow. Reviewers say the installation process generally stayed on track and was handled with minimal disruption to the household. Representative review excerpt: "I did not hesitate if I had to step away for a few hours during the install and realistically I did not need to be there for any of it."

Stayed involved through permitting. Some reviewers specifically note that staff stayed engaged through installation and the permission-to-operate process. Representative review excerpt: "She helped us make the right equipment decisions and then stayed with us when needed through the whole installation and permission to operate process."

Occasional scheduling delays. A few reviews mention that appointments or next steps could take several days to schedule. Representative review excerpt: "May take several days to schedule an appointment."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.9/10

Reviewers mostly describe the crews as professional, efficient, and careful in the home. Comments frequently mention clean installations and respectful site behavior, while a small number of complaints suggest isolated issues rather than a recurring pattern.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional, careful crews. Reviewers say the installation teams were knowledgeable, respectful, and careful while working in the home. Representative review excerpt: "Mark, the electrician, was knowledgeable, professional, and great to work with, and the entire installation crew was efficient, respectful, and careful in our home."

Clean, efficient installs. Several comments describe the installation work as efficient and well executed, with attention to finishing details. Representative review excerpt: "The installation crew, including Joe, John, James, and Marc, was professional and efficient."

Isolated site-care complaints. A small number of reviews mention problems that were not consistent with the mostly positive workmanship feedback, indicating occasional dissatisfaction with the field experience. Representative review excerpt: "Initially, I thought Got Watts is great after they replaced my subpanel, installed the manual transfer switch, and installed the EV Charger."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support5.0/10

This is the weakest category in the review set. Many reviewers report positive post-install experiences, including follow-up service and systems operating as expected, but the score suggests that support after turn-on is less consistently praised than the rest of the experience.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Post-install help is reported. Some reviewers say the company returned to address unrelated electrical issues after installation, which they appreciated. Representative review excerpt: "And, a week after installation, I had an unrelated electrical issue happen, and Got Watts sent their team out to fix the issue, even though we WEREN'T in their normal..."

System performance noted positively. Several reviewers report that the system was up and running and producing power after installation-related work was completed. Representative review excerpt: "The system is up and running (after a Tesla battery replacement) and generating power!"

Support concerns do appear. A smaller set of reviews says the system did not work as expected or that support after installation was not as strong as hoped. Representative review excerpt: "So while as others have said, they are pleasant, and easy to work with, don't expect the system to work as advertised, or for them to provide good support."

Bottom line: GOT WATTS ELECTRIC & SOLAR’s review profile is strongest on communication, workmanship, and sales clarity, with most reviewers describing a responsive and professional experience. Pricing and timeline feedback are generally favorable but more mixed, and long-term support and system-performance follow-through stand out as the weakest area in the corpus.

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.
