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

How does Hpm 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 Hpm 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.

Hpm Solar 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 Integrity8.4/10

Reviewers most often describe HPM Solar’s sales process as thoughtful and tailored, with proposals that reflect actual usage rather than oversized system recommendations. The review set is overwhelmingly positive here, with only one complaint-pattern review in the evidence corpus.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Usage-based recommendations. Reviewers say sales discussions were grounded in electricity usage and project needs, with proposals adjusted to fit the home instead of pushing the largest possible system. Representative review excerpt: "He didn't just try to sell us the biggest system possible, he actually analyzed our electricity usage and recommended what we needed, nothing more."

Tailored quote and follow-up. Customers describe a contact who listened closely, customized the quote, and continued checking in after the project moved forward. Representative review excerpt: "Josh, our main contact, really listened to why going solar mattered to us and tailored the system and quote to fit our needs."

Rare proposal complaint. One review describes a problematic sales experience involving incorrect figures and unclear loan-related paperwork, but that complaint pattern is not common in the corpus. Representative review excerpt: "One particular company even went to the extent of false advertising, quoting incorrect figures, and requesting us to sign for a credit check and a pre-approved loan that we never..."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.6/10

Reviewers generally report clear pricing conversations and helpful explanations around financing and project costs. The evidence set does not show a broad complaint pattern about surprise charges or deposit issues, though some reviews focus more on bill outcomes than on detailed financing terms.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear explanations. Reviewers say the team took time to explain the process, answer questions, and help customers understand what to expect. Representative review excerpt: "None of them took the time to explain the process, dispel the noise and tricks others play, and focus on making sure all of your questions are answered."

Helpful bill context. Some customers reference lower ongoing electricity bills after installation, which they use as evidence that the overall cost picture made sense for them. Representative review excerpt: "My SCE yearly bill, after the initial system was close to $2000."

Communication & coordination

Communication9.0/10

Communication is one of HPM Solar’s strongest-reviewed areas. Customers frequently describe clear updates, responsive coordination, and steady ownership across the process from scheduling through approvals.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear step-by-step updates. Reviewers consistently say they were kept informed at each stage and found the team easy to work with. Representative review excerpt: "They were easy to work with, communicated clearly, and consistently kept me informed about every step of the process."

Responsive scheduling. Some customers report that when an earlier opening became available, the team called right away to move the project sooner. Representative review excerpt: "He was upfront about timing with the upcoming credit expiration (Dec 31, 2025), but when an earlier opening popped up, he immediately called to get us scheduled sooner."

Strong project handoff. Reviewers also describe the team as staying engaged through approvals and coordinating the many moving parts of the project. Representative review excerpt: "He kept us informed, worked with his incredible crew, and held our hand through the entire process until all approvals (city, fire department, and Southern California Edison) were completed."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability8.2/10

Most reviewers say HPM Solar kept projects moving and took responsibility for permitting, inspections, and activation steps. A small number of reviews mention delays tied to materials or city requirements, but the overall pattern remains positive.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Handled approvals end to end. Customers say the team guided the project through city, fire department, and utility approvals without leaving them to manage the process alone. Representative review excerpt: "He kept us informed, worked with his incredible crew, and held our hand through the entire process until all approvals (city, fire department, and Southern California Edison) were completed."

Scheduling moved up when possible. Reviewers note that when an earlier slot opened, the team acted quickly to get the job scheduled sooner. Representative review excerpt: "He was upfront about timing with the upcoming credit expiration (Dec 31, 2025), but when an earlier opening popped up, he immediately called to get us scheduled sooner."

Some delay reports. A minority of reviewers mention back-and-forth delays related to materials and city requirements, though they still describe the work itself as satisfactory. Representative review excerpt: "Despite the back and forth delays due to the materials and the city's requirements, they are doing a great job and their work is satisfactory."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship9.1/10

Reviewers overwhelmingly praise the installation crews for professionalism, efficiency, and respect for the property. The corpus does not surface a meaningful complaint pattern about workmanship or cleanup.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crew conduct. Customers describe the installation crew as professional, knowledgeable, and careful in their work. Representative review excerpt: "The installation itself was handled by Danny and his crew, who were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly took pride in their work."

Respect for property. Several reviews say the crew worked efficiently while being respectful of the home and surrounding site. Representative review excerpt: "The installation crew was excellent: professional, efficient, and respectful of our property."

Cleanup and finish. Reviewers also mention that the team cleaned up before leaving and returned to complete re-installation work when needed. Representative review excerpt: "They did great work and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left, which really showed their attention to detail and pride in their work."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.9/10

Post-installation feedback is very strong, with reviewers describing solid system performance, helpful troubleshooting, and ongoing support after the project is complete. The evidence corpus does not show a complaint pattern in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

System still performing well. Reviewers say their systems have continued working well over time, including one customer who described being happy after more than five years. Representative review excerpt: "It's been a little over 5 years of having our solar system installed and we couldn't be happier!"

Troubleshooting after install. Some customers report that the team helped diagnose issues and found that the system was working normally after a connection problem. Representative review excerpt: "It turned out the system was working fine and had become disconnected from the Internet."

Design matched usage needs. Reviewers also say the team designed systems around actual production needs, including battery-backed setups and orientation choices based on shading conditions. Representative review excerpt: "They designed a system with equivalent performance to my old array, but with fewer panels, and a storage battery."

Bottom line: Across 171 substantive reviews, HPM Solar earns especially strong marks for communication, workmanship, and long-term support, with consistently positive feedback in those areas. Sales guidance, pricing transparency, and timelines also review well overall, and the few complaint-pattern mentions are rare rather than recurring.

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.
