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

How does Pacific Blue 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 Pacific Blue 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.

Pacific Blue 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 Integrity7.3/10

Reviewers mostly describe a straightforward sales process with clear answers, low-pressure conversations, and contracts that matched expectations. A small number of reviews mention a poor interaction around pricing or deal terms, but that complaint pattern is rare in the available corpus.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Straightforward sales approach. Reviewers say the sales process was direct and easy to understand, with a focus on pricing and scope rather than a hard sell. Representative review excerpt: "Larry was great, i told him we didn't want a big sales pitch just a price for what we wanted."

Honest follow-up on questions. Reviewers report that when a question could not be answered immediately, the team followed up with more information rather than guessing. Representative review excerpt: "When he did not have an immediate answer for a particular question, he honestly told me so and would research and get back to me -WHICH HE DID!) When I..."

Watch-out: one sharp pricing interaction. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "Larry at first was nice, but the moment I told him that I already had quotes on the solar equipment, he rudely said "So you want to take the profit..."

Price & financing transparency

Installation and follow-through felt timely. Customers describe the install as smooth and say the work was completed without timeline surprises in the reviews available. Representative review excerpt: "I just had my solar installed and I have to rave about this company."

Permit and utility steps appear manageable. The review set suggests the company handled the project steps in a way that matched customer expectations, including electrical upgrades when needed. Representative review excerpt: "They did have to upgrade my electrical panel, but they made sure to stucco and paint the wall; they did a great job in matching the paint."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.1/10

This is one of the strongest areas in the review set. Reviewers consistently praise the crew’s professionalism, the quality of the installation, and the care taken to leave the property in good condition, including clean finish work after electrical upgrades.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.6/10

Bottom line: Pacific Blue Solar’s review profile is broadly positive, with especially strong feedback on workmanship and solid marks for timeline, communication, pricing, and post-install performance. The main caution points are limited: one review raises a sales-pressure concern and another mentions difficulty getting a callback, but those complaints appear rare in the available 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.
