How does Nueva 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 Nueva 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.

Representative review excerpt: "They helped us to upgrade the new main panel, reroute the electrical lines to the garage, install EV chargers, and reorganize the wires in attic."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.2/10

Workmanship is the strongest-rated area in the review set, with customers consistently describing clean, careful installations and professional crews. Reviewers also mention good cleanup, level finishes, and attention to repair details, with complaints not appearing as a meaningful pattern in the reviewed corpus.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean installation quality. Reviewers say the finished work looked neat and was described as a very clean installation by inspectors and other electricians. Representative review excerpt: "The solution was installed and permitted in a timely fashion and the inspector and my other electricians said it was a very clean installation."

Careful, level work. Customers repeatedly report that items were installed carefully and that finished components were level and well aligned. Representative review excerpt: "The items were installed with care and everything is level."

Professional crews. Several reviews highlight courteous crews and solid execution on install day, including quick scheduling when needed. Representative review excerpt: "They responded quickly and fit us into a last minute appointment for a Powerwall install."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.5/10

Post-install feedback is positive but thinner than the other categories, with a smaller set of reviews commenting on system production, monitoring, and ongoing satisfaction. The available reviews suggest the system generally meets expectations after turn-on, though there is less evidence here than for sales, communication, or installation quality.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

System monitoring is working. A reviewer mentions using the monitoring app to confirm the system is operating as expected after installation. Representative review excerpt: "We enjoy the Tesla app as well for ensuring everything is working as it should."

Overall satisfaction after turn-on. Customers describe being satisfied with their solar system and the results after the project was completed. Representative review excerpt: "I am very satisfied with my solar system in my home and the overall results."

Battery and solar setup completed. The reviewed feedback also includes successful solar-plus-battery installations, indicating post-install functionality was part of the positive experience for some customers. Representative review excerpt: "Solar system plus Battery Back up installed."

Bottom line: Across 40 substantive reviews, NUEVA ENERGY’s profile is strongest in workmanship, communication, and day-to-day project coordination, with generally positive feedback on sales clarity and pricing transparency as well. The smaller post-install sample is also favorable, though it provides less evidence than the core installation experience. Overall, the review corpus reads as strongly positive with complaints appearing rare in the categories where evidence is available.

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.
