#89 of 1,089 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does Homelink 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 Homelink 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.

Homelink Solar reviews: what customers say

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

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.3/10

Reviewers mostly describe the sales process as direct, informative, and low-pressure. The main concerns center on a small number of complaints about sales expectations not matching later outcomes, including savings or proposal details.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, responsive sales conversations. Many reviewers say the team answered questions directly, explained the process, and gave straightforward guidance during the proposal stage. Representative review excerpt: "I initially communicated with Mike, one of the owners of HomeLink and he gave me direct answers to my questions, walked me through the process and gave me a very..."

Helpful product explanations. Some reviewers report that product and design choices were explained in detail, including why certain equipment was recommended for their home. Representative review excerpt: "Mandy showed us how she had Enphase micros inverters and Franklin Batteries on her own home and all the reasons why they were the best possible product on the market."

Expectation gaps in a few reviews. A small number of reviewers describe later disappointment when billed savings or other outcomes did not match what they say was discussed during the sales pitch. Representative review excerpt: "Couple months go by, review my edison bill and see we are still paying way more that we were told during the sales pitch."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.1/10

This category is mixed-to-positive: many reviewers say pricing and next steps were explained clearly, but price, financing, and post-install savings concerns appear often enough to matter. The complaint pattern is mostly about unexpected costs, incentive timing, or savings that did not line up with expectations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Straight answers on cost. Several reviewers say the team was upfront when discussing pricing and answered cost questions clearly. Representative review excerpt: "He was straight forward in answering all my questions, especially when it came to cost."

Payment fit and planning. Some reviewers report that the company worked around their financial situation and explained the process and follow-up expectations. Representative review excerpt: "They worked around my financial situation and then sent an small army of installers to make sure the job was completed in one day to beat the incoming storm."

Savings and billing concerns. A few reviewers describe higher-than-expected bills or savings that did not appear as quickly as they expected, which points to concerns around financial expectations and timing. Representative review excerpt: "After 3 months that the home link company installed the solar panel service I still don't look at the savings, now I'm paying double, because I keep paying my normal..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.7/10

Reviewers generally describe strong communication and project coordination, with frequent praise for updates, follow-through, and accessible staff. Complaints are uncommon, but a few reviews mention slow responses, missing follow-up, or frustration after the project started.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Frequent updates. Many reviewers say they were kept informed about system progress, inspection timing, and next steps throughout the project. Representative review excerpt: "The technicians who I met were great & again kept me updated on system info & inspection time lines."

Follow-through on commitments. Some reviewers report that the team did what they said they would and stayed engaged from start to finish. Representative review excerpt: "They followed through exactly as they said they would which was just as impressive."

Occasional communication breakdowns. A small number of reviewers describe poor follow-up or unhelpful responses when they needed support after the initial sale. Representative review excerpt: "I was hung up on after being told our business is not a priority and that they have better things to do than help."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.3/10

Most reviewers say the project moved on schedule or at least stayed well organized through permits, inspection, and activation. A smaller set of reviews mentions delays, installation obstacles, or slower-than-expected final approval.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-time install experiences. Several reviewers say crews arrived when promised and completed installation on the expected schedule. Representative review excerpt: "When they came to install, they showed up when they said they would, they were very tidy and mindful of me and my family."

Efficient project completion. Some reviewers report that the project moved from first call to install completion quickly, even during a busy period. Representative review excerpt: "Wanted to add that Tyler was able from first phone call to install complete get it done in under a month even with the end of year rush!"

Delay-related complaints. A few reviewers describe longer waits for inspection or activation than they expected, along with setbacks during the project. Representative review excerpt: "2 months later- passed final inspection."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.9/10

Workmanship is a relative strength in the review corpus, with strong praise for professionalism, speed, and respect for the property. Complaints are rare, but the small number that appear focus on installation errors or concerns about contractor oversight.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crews. Reviewers frequently describe the installers as professional, courteous, and hardworking. Representative review excerpt: "The installation team Esteban, Marcel, Matt, Oz, and Anthony were professional, courteous, and hardworking."

Tidy job sites. Some reviewers say the crew showed up as scheduled and was careful and tidy while working at the home. Representative review excerpt: "When they came to install, they showed up when they said they would, they were very tidy and mindful of me and my family."

Isolated workmanship concerns. A very small number of reviews mention installation errors or worry about contractor licensing and possible damage handling. Representative review excerpt: "We pointed out the error of a plug installed which we subsequently learned from a couple of electrical engineers, is a safety hazard, and a violation of the Electric Code."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.4/10

Post-install feedback is more mixed than the installation feedback. Many reviewers report good results and responsive fixes, but there are enough complaints about production, warranty support, or service follow-up to keep this category in the middle range.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Problems were sometimes resolved. Some reviewers say the company was able to restore system functionality after a period of reduced generation. Representative review excerpt: "Nevertheless, they were able to fix the problem, and I was very satisfied that they were able to restore the system functionality after a couple months of reduced electricity generation."

Positive system and product experience. A number of reviewers describe satisfaction with the system, equipment choices, and overall service after installation. Representative review excerpt: "GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRODUCTS, AND GREAT INSTALLERS!!!!"

Performance and warranty complaints. A few reviewers report systems not producing as expected or say they struggled to get warranty or service support after turn-on. Representative review excerpt: "System not working as it should."

Bottom line: HOMELINK SOLAR’s review profile is strongest on workmanship, communication, and the sales experience, with many reviewers describing a professional and well-coordinated process. The more mixed areas are pricing transparency and long-term post-install support, where some reviewers report billing, savings, or service concerns after the sale.

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.
