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

How does Pacific Sun Technologies 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 Sun Technologies 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 Sun Technologies 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 Integrity6.9/10

Reviewers most often describe the sales process as helpful, informative, and low-pressure, with several saying representatives took time to explain options and answer questions. A smaller set of complaints centers on quote follow-through and concerns about how commitments or service terms were presented.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful sales guidance. Many reviewers say the sales team was knowledgeable and willing to walk through system options, expansion ideas, and next steps. The common theme is a patient explanation of the proposal rather than a hard sell. Representative review excerpt: "Jonny Turner was outstanding during the sales and planning process—knowledgeable, honest, and always willing to take the time to explain options and future expansion possibilities."

Clear answers during planning. Reviewers also describe the planning stage as responsive and informative, with questions answered and choices explained in a way that helped them decide on a system. This shows up as a generally constructive sales experience. Representative review excerpt: "Jonny has been our sales rep and he answered all of my initial questions, walked us through a few options to choose the best system for our house, and gave..."

Quote and service-term complaints. A few reviewers report problems with promises not being followed through or with service terms not matching their expectations. These complaints keep the category from reading as fully strong. Representative review excerpt: "Was helpful and informational, but did not receive quote as promised."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.6/10

Most reviewers who discuss pricing or financing describe a straightforward process, including help arranging financing and understanding rebate timing. The complaints are fewer, but they focus on payment disputes, surprise cost concerns, and uncertainty around whether amounts were properly handled.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Financing help and rebate timing. Several reviewers say the company helped arrange financing and navigate rebate timing in a way that made the purchase easier to manage. These accounts frame the financial side as organized and supportive. Representative review excerpt: "PST even helped us arrange our financing with a significant 30% rebate upfront and helped us lock in a great rate for our loan as well."

Rate and loan support. Reviewers also mention help securing loan terms and a good financing rate. That suggests the team was active in guiding customers through the financing process rather than leaving them on their own. Representative review excerpt: "PST even helped us arrange our financing with a significant 30% rebate upfront and helped us lock in a great rate for our loan as well."

Payment and cost concerns. A smaller group of reviewers report problems tied to payments or cost expectations, including disputes over whether money had been received or concerns that charges were not handled correctly. These are the main watch-outs in this category. Representative review excerpt: "I sent an email detailing what would happen if Pacific Sun did not send conformation that they were wrong and payment had been made."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.8/10

Reviewers very often describe fast responses, frequent updates, and organized project handoffs. Complaints are rare in this category, but a few reviewers still mention gaps in follow-up or coordination.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast, consistent updates. Many reviewers say calls and texts were answered quickly and that the team kept them informed throughout the project. This is one of the strongest patterns in the review set. Representative review excerpt: "They responded to every call and text quickly, kept me informed, and stepped in to take over my project without hesitation."

Organized project management. Customers also describe project managers as prompt and accurate in their responses, with scheduling and task handoffs handled well. Reviewers often credit the team with keeping the process moving. Representative review excerpt: "My project manager, Jonny, was top-notch with knowledgeable, accurate and prompt responses to the myriad of questions and concerns I had."

Limited communication misses. A small number of reviewers mention uneven follow-through or information gaps. These reports are limited, but they do show that communication was not perfect for every customer. Representative review excerpt: "I spoke the so one and he provided me lost of information, he also makes YouTube videos."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Most reviewers say projects moved on schedule and that permitting, scheduling, and final steps were handled in an organized way. There are a few complaints about delays or no-shows, and some reviews note that utility or activation timing was outside the company’s direct control.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-schedule installs. Many reviewers say the installation work finished on schedule and that the process felt smooth from start to finish. These comments point to generally reliable execution once the project was underway. Representative review excerpt: "The install team at Pacific Sun Tech is full of excellent guys who made our install a breeze, they finished the work right on schedule and with the utmost respect..."

Permitting and inspection coordination. Reviewers also praise the team for staying on top of permitting, scheduling, and final inspection details. That suggests good coordination through the back end of the project. Representative review excerpt: "She was responsive, organized, and stayed on top of every detail from permitting to scheduling to final inspection."

Occasional delay complaints. A few reviewers report timing problems, including a no-show or delays tied to utility activation. Some of these reviews also note that outside utility issues contributed to the slowdown. Representative review excerpt: "The 4 stars is because they did not show up on time."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.9/10

Reviewers overwhelmingly describe professional crews, clean job sites, and solid installation work. A small number of complaints mention unfinished connections or post-install readings that needed attention.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installation crews. Reviewers frequently say the installation teams were respectful, efficient, and careful on site. Cleanliness and professionalism are recurring themes in the praise. Representative review excerpt: "The install team at Pacific Sun Tech is full of excellent guys who made our install a breeze, they finished the work right on schedule and with the utmost respect..."

Clean work and inspection readiness. Customers also report that the work was done cleanly and that city inspections went smoothly. These comments suggest solid execution and attention to site care. Representative review excerpt: "Everything was done cleanly and professionally, and there were no issues with city inspections."

A few installation issues. A small number of reviewers mention incomplete or incorrect work after installation, including connections that were not finished as expected. These complaints are limited but worth noting. Representative review excerpt: "After they left I checked the roof and found that they left some mechanical connections undone on the panels."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.0/10

This category is generally strong, with many reviewers saying systems performed well after activation and that support continued after the sale. A few complaints mention repair or setup issues, but the overall pattern is positive and long-term service oriented.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong ongoing support. Reviewers say the company continued to help after installation, including quickly providing permit documents when requested. That points to responsive post-install support. Representative review excerpt: "Their long-term support is equally impressive; when I recently requested copies of my permits, they delivered them within hours (Thanks Devin!)."

Reliable system performance. Several reviews say panels and batteries performed without interruption after activation. These reports support the view that systems continued to work as expected over time. Representative review excerpt: "In summary, since the December 2025 PTO from SoCal Edison, the panels and battery have performed without interruption (SCE, seemingly spiteful, dragged their rear end almost four months to install..."

Post-install repair concerns. A few reviewers report service or setup issues that needed correction after the job was finished. These complaints are not dominant, but they do show that some customers needed follow-up support. Representative review excerpt: "As it turned out, Pacific Sun did not hook up something correctly."

Bottom line: Pacific Sun Technologies earns a solid overall review profile, with especially strong marks for communication, workmanship, and long-term support. The main soft spots are in sales/proposal expectations and price-related transparency, where a smaller set of reviewers describe payment, quote, or service-term concerns.

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.
