How does Skyline Smart 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 Skyline Smart 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.

Skyline Smart Energy reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback, updated September 23, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.0/10

Reviewers are more often positive than negative about sales conversations and proposal handling, with many saying expectations were explained clearly and promises were followed through. A smaller set of complaints describes issues with work completion, roof-related expectations, and delays that reviewers felt did not match what was initially represented.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear explanations. Several reviewers describe the sales process as straightforward, with representatives helping them understand options and moving the project forward without heavy pressure. Representative review excerpt: "I'm in the Roofing business and i was skeptical about going solar but my buddy Jose talked to me and the wife and didn't have to convince us we just..."

Promises followed through. Positive reviews say the company delivered on what was discussed and, in some cases, the final setup led to lower electric costs after activation. Representative review excerpt: "Skyline has followed through on everything promised!"

Completion and expectation gaps. A smaller group of reviewers reports concerns about promised work not being completed on time or expectations around roof-related work not matching the outcome. Representative review excerpt: "These people are Liars and will not complete your work they promise."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.4/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mixed, but leans positive. Some reviewers describe reasonable pricing, financing help, and eventual bill reductions, while others report unexpected costs or paying for systems that were not yet producing as expected.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful financing support. Positive reviews say staff helped them navigate financing or secure a project they had struggled to fund elsewhere. Representative review excerpt: "He even helped me replace a roof that I'd been trying to do for years, but I couldn't get a loan approved."

Value and pricing satisfaction. Some reviewers describe the system as being offered at a good or attractive price and say the deal felt worthwhile once everything was in place. Representative review excerpt: "Great system at the right price couldn’t skip the opportunity."

Bill and cost concerns. A smaller set of reviewers reports frustration with ongoing bills, delayed value, or payments tied to panels that were not producing as expected. Representative review excerpt: "We payed 18 months worth of bills for panels that didn’t even produce also our Edison bills racked up."

Communication & coordination

Communication5.3/10

Communication and coordination draw more criticism than praise. Reviewers who had a good experience describe clear explanations and smooth handoffs, but a notable number say updates were slow, calls and emails went unanswered, or project management felt disorganized.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear upfront guidance. Positive reviews say representatives explained the process clearly and helped keep expectations organized from the start. Representative review excerpt: "jose made the process super easy and made everything clear from the beginning to end."

Responsive support when it works. Some reviewers report that they received helpful follow-up and felt the team stayed on top of their project. Representative review excerpt: "Skyline has followed through on everything promised!"

Hard-to-reach follow-up. Complaints often focus on slow responses, missed callbacks, and a lack of status updates during the project. Representative review excerpt: "They wort return calls or emails."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability5.3/10

Timeline performance is a recurring concern, even though some customers say their installs moved quickly. Positive reviews mention fast completions, while complaints describe long delays, unfinished projects, and scheduling problems tied to permits or activation.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast installs reported. Several reviewers say their installation was completed quickly and that the process moved faster than expected. Representative review excerpt: "The install was complete in just a few weeks."

Smooth, efficient timing. Some customers describe the installation timeline as professional and efficient, with little effort required on their side. Representative review excerpt: "Skyline was so professional in every way, my installation was so fast, and I didn’t have to lift a finger."

Extended delays. Complaint reviews describe long-running projects, including cases where work was still incomplete after years or stalled during the permitting and activation process. Representative review excerpt: "It’s taken them over 3 years to complete my Solar project and it’s still not completed!"

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship5.6/10

Workmanship feedback is mixed, with some reviewers praising professional crews and smooth installations. The negative side centers on panel mapping errors, roof-related concerns, and reports that certain projects required rework or remained unfinished.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crews. Positive reviewers say the installation team was professional, efficient, and completed the job cleanly. Representative review excerpt: "Skyline was so professional in every way, my installation was so fast, and I didn’t have to lift a finger."

Smooth install experience. Some customers report that the installation itself went well and that the finished system has been operating as expected. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was smooth, my bills are lower, and I feel good about going green."

Installation errors or follow-up fixes. Complaints mention mapping mistakes, roof concerns, or installations that were not fully completed or connected as expected. Representative review excerpt: "The mapping done was also incorrect which doubled my labor quote because the vendor had to remove 13 panels to find the 3 bad ones."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.0/10

Post-install feedback trends positive overall, with many reviewers reporting lower bills, system output they felt was working well, and helpful explanations after the system turned on. Still, a meaningful minority describes support problems, unanswered questions, or systems that did not perform as expected during the early period after installation.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful after-turn-on support. Positive reviewers say the team returned after activation to explain how the system worked and answer questions. Representative review excerpt: "It’s been a few months since my system got turned on and he came back to help me understand how everything is working."

Reported bill savings and performance. Several customers say their bills went down or their system produced the results they were hoping for after activation. Representative review excerpt: "Went from paying over $400 on my electric bill to less than $200."

Support and production complaints. Some reviewers report trouble getting answers after installation, along with concerns about panels not producing and bills staying high. Representative review excerpt: "We payed 18 months worth of bills for panels that didn’t even produce also our Edison bills racked up."

Bottom line: Skyline Smart Energy’s reviews are a mixed but slightly positive picture overall, with stronger feedback on sales clarity and post-install results than on communication, timelines, and project coordination. The most common complaint themes involve delayed completion, weak follow-up, and occasional workmanship or production issues after installation.

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.
