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

How does Power Up Solutions 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 Power Up Solutions 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.

Power Up Solutions 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 Integrity6.7/10

Reviewers often describe the sales process as clear and informative, with several saying questions were answered thoroughly and proposals were easy to understand. At the same time, a smaller but notable set of complaints centers on missed follow-through, outreach that felt pressured, and expectations that did not match what was ultimately delivered.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear explanations. Several reviewers say the team explained contracts, system design, and expected bill savings in a way that made the proposal easier to understand. Representative review excerpt: "They will throughly answer all your questions about the contract."

Helpful sales guidance. Some customers report that the representative walked them through the solar and battery setup and answered questions directly during the decision process. Representative review excerpt: "Sharon was very good at explaining the whole solar and battery system how they work together and best of all how it saves on the electric bill each month ."

Follow-through concerns. Complaints in this area focus on promises that were not kept, sales outreach that did not match the customer’s expectations, and difficulty getting calls returned. Representative review excerpt: "Now the sales person or the company staff will not return calls."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.0/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mixed and leans cautious. Some reviewers describe fair pricing, clear incentives, and lower bills after installation, while others report confusion about savings, surprise costs, or promises tied to timing and financing that were not met.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Cost and savings complaints. Complaints mention surprise monthly bills, claims about energy savings that reviewers felt were overstated, and incentive-related promises that were not delivered as expected. Representative review excerpt: "Before I had a truck up bill at the.end but now I have that plus 250+ a month bills."

Fair price reported. A number of reviewers describe the pricing as fair and say they felt the value matched the project quality. Representative review excerpt: "If You want quality at a fair price Power Up Solutions is were to go."

Bill savings praised. Some customers say they saw meaningful reductions in their electric bills after the system was installed. Representative review excerpt: "Since transitioning to solar on our home, we’ve already seen a noticeable drop in our energy bills."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.0/10

Reviewers commonly praise the team for being patient, responsive, and willing to guide them through the project and utility process. Still, some customers report difficulty getting calls or emails returned and describe communication gaps when they needed support after the sale.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Guided project support. Several reviewers say the team stayed involved throughout the project and made the process easier to manage. Representative review excerpt: "They are both helpful, patient, and committed to holding your hand throughout the project."

Utility process handled well. Customers also note that certification and inspection steps were managed smoothly, which reduced the burden on them. Representative review excerpt: "Moreover, they handled any and all issues during the certification and inspection process with PGE seamlessly, allowing me to focus on the excitement of going solar rather than the logistics."

Hard to reach at times. The main complaint pattern is that some customers could not get timely callbacks or support when questions came up. Representative review excerpt: "The only issue is the lack of being able to get someone to return a email or phone call when you need assistance."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.4/10

Timeline feedback is mostly positive, with reviewers frequently saying the project stayed on track and that the company handled permitting or utility obstacles effectively. A small number of complaints suggest that not every expectation was set clearly before installation, but delay-related concerns appear less common than praise.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-schedule delivery. Some reviewers say the installation and broader project timeline matched what was promised. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was smooth, the timeline was exactly as promised, and we are already seeing significant savings on our energy bills since transitioning to solar on our home in Rocklin."

Permitting and utility obstacles managed. Customers report that the company worked through city and utility issues and kept the project moving. Representative review excerpt: "They really work hard to get your project done despite obstacles thrown up by the city and the utility company."

Pre-installation clarity gap. A smaller watch-out is that some details were not fully explained before installation, which created confusion around what would happen next. Representative review excerpt: "Cosmetic installation options weren’t made clear prior to installation."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.1/10

Workmanship is one of the stronger parts of the review profile. Reviewers frequently describe the crews as professional, punctual, and careful with the installation, while complaints in this category are rare and mostly limited to specific installation-detail expectations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crews. Many customers describe the installation team as friendly, professional, and reliable while working on site. Representative review excerpt: "Every person who came to my home was friendly, professional, and did excellent work."

Strong installation quality. Reviewers also say the install itself was smooth, clean, and problem free. Representative review excerpt: "The install was impeccable and problem free."

Minor install-detail concern. The limited complaint pattern centers on cosmetic or option details that were not made clear before the work began. Representative review excerpt: "Cosmetic installation options weren’t made clear prior to installation."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.0/10

Post-install feedback is positive overall but less consistent than workmanship. Some reviewers report strong production and dependable system performance, while others say the system underperformed their expectations or that follow-up support after activation was not as strong.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Systems working well. Several reviewers say their panels and batteries have been producing as expected and working without issues. Representative review excerpt: "Panels are producing and the Tesla 3 Battery is working great."

Performance and savings reported. Some customers say the system has reduced their energy costs and continued to perform well over time. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was smooth, the timeline was exactly as promised, and we are already seeing significant savings on our energy bills since transitioning to solar on our home in Rocklin."

Underperformance concerns. Complaints in this area focus on systems that reviewers felt did not save enough money or did not produce as expected. Representative review excerpt: "horrible people, sold a product that does nothing to save on energy cost."

Bottom line: Power Up Solutions’ reviews are strongest on workmanship and fairly positive on timeline reliability, with many customers describing a professional install and smooth project execution. The main mixed areas are pricing transparency, communication follow-up, and post-install support, where some reviewers report unclear expectations or difficulty getting help 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.
