How does Green Leaf Solar & Electric 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 Green Leaf Solar & Electric 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.

Green Leaf Solar & Electric 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 Integrity7.1/10

Reviewers describe Green Leaf Solar & Electric as knowledgeable and clear in the sales process, with proposals that were tailored to the home rather than pushed as one-size-fits-all. The evidence in this category is entirely positive, and the main pattern is straightforward explanation of options and expectations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.8/10

Reviewers generally describe pricing and financing as understandable and reasonable. The limited evidence points to no surprise-cost pattern, and one review highlights financing as a workable option. Incentive timing is not a recurring complaint theme in the available reviews.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

No sense of hidden cost management. One reviewer says they did not feel the company was holding back to manage costs, which suggests a straightforward pricing experience. Representative review excerpt: "They came out a number of times to complete their work - never got a feeling that they were holding back to manage their costs."

Financing presented clearly. A reviewer mentions a financing program with low interest, describing it as a meaningful part of the purchase discussion.

Communication & coordination

Communication7.4/10

Reviewers consistently describe the company as responsive and organized, with timely communication through the project.

Follow-through on commitments. One reviewer says the company did what it said it would do, reflecting strong project ownership. Representative review excerpt: "If you want the job, big or small, done right the first time Green Leaf is the company to call."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Reviewers describe the company as generally reliable on scheduling, including panel reinstallations, inspections-related work, and overall project timing. The evidence available here is positive across the board, with no clear complaint pattern in the sampled reviews.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Met stated schedule. Reviewers report that projects were completed within the timeline originally provided. Representative review excerpt: "They were responsive and were able to get the entire solar project done within the timeline they provided to me initially."

Efficient deployment. A reviewer notes that the crew finished a project in less than two days once equipment arrived. Representative review excerpt: "When the equipment arrived, he was in the midst of a big project someplace else, but deployed a two-person installation team finished the job in less than two days and..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.9/10

Reviewers strongly describe the installation work as professional, clean, and careful around the home. The category is overwhelmingly positive, with praise for finishing details, problem-solving around roof or electrical concerns, and general workmanship quality.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong completion quality. Reviewers also say the company completed work thoroughly and finished jobs right the first time. Representative review excerpt: "If you want the job, big or small, done right the first time Green Leaf is the company to call."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.5/10

Reviewers mostly report solid post-install performance, including systems that continue to run well and produce savings. There is one complaint about repair help, so this category is positive overall but not uniform on after-install service.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong ongoing performance. Reviewers say the system has continued to work flawlessly after installation. Representative review excerpt: "He carefully planned my system and provided state of the art equipment that continues to work flawlessly."

Monthly savings reported. One reviewer reports that the system performed well and reduced monthly bills. Representative review excerpt: "The system has preformed flawlessly and saved me a bundle on my monthly bill."

Repair help gap. A reviewer says the company was not able to help with a repair request, which is the main post-install concern in the available reviews. Representative review excerpt: "However, he was not able to help me with a repair."

Bottom line: Green Leaf Solar & Electric’s review profile is broadly positive, with especially strong marks for workmanship, communication, and project coordination. The main review limitation is that after-install support is not as consistently praised as the installation experience, and price or financing concerns are not a major theme in the available sample.

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.
