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

How does Solar Earth Choice 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 Solar Earth Choice 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.

Solar Earth Choice 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 Integrity7.1/10

Reviewers most often describe the sales process as clear and straightforward, with scope and pricing explained upfront. The available evidence is uniformly positive, so the main theme is strong proposal clarity and set expectations rather than recurring criticism.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear upfront explanations. Reviewers say the scope of work and pricing were explained clearly at the start, which helped set expectations. They also describe the sales process as approachable and responsive to questions. Representative review excerpt: "Scope of work and pricing are clearly explained up front and the customer’s response out is sought."

Helpful guidance during decisions. Several reviewers report that staff answered detailed questions and helped them feel comfortable with installation and future use. The feedback emphasizes steady support during the proposal stage. Representative review excerpt: "Sophia has been great to work with, has answered all of my (probably) ridiculous questions regarding installation and future use, and was able to get me installed within two weeks..."

Flexible planning and scheduling. Some reviewers say the team worked around roofers or family timing and adapted the schedule to fit project needs. That flexibility is part of the positive sales-and-planning pattern in the reviews. Representative review excerpt: "Then when the installation process came, they were flexible with schedule and worked with my roofers to figure out the best way and time to do the installation."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.9/10

Reviewers generally describe pricing as fair and the process as free of surprises. The review set also suggests that cost discussions were handled early enough that customers felt informed, although the evidence base here is relatively small.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fair-price impressions. Reviewers commonly describe the price as fair or satisfying for the work performed. The comments focus on value and a straightforward purchasing experience. Representative review excerpt: "Quality Work, Fair Price, quick installation, Knowledge & professional."

No surprise charges reported. Some reviewers say they were kept informed throughout the process and did not encounter unexpected costs. They describe potential issues being raised early and discussed before they became problems. Representative review excerpt: "Sophia works hard and communicates all along the process, there were no surprises, and any potential issues they identified were brought up early and discussed."

Incentive timing mentioned. A few reviews reference broader cost expectations tied to incentive timing and the overall project schedule. The available evidence does not show a recurring complaint pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "They make you feel like your family.More important they did a great job ,using quality equipment at a satisfying price & in a timely manner .There's no question I would..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.7/10

Communication is a clear strength in the review corpus, with many customers describing responsive follow-through and easy access to support. Reviewers frequently mention that one person or team member kept the project moving and answered questions throughout the process.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive and easy to reach. Reviewers say questions were answered promptly and that support was easy to access during the project. Some specifically mention being able to call with questions at any time. Representative review excerpt: "She managed every aspect and I could call her at any time on her cell phone with any questions."

Steady follow-through. Several customers describe excellent communication and consistent follow-through from the team. They report feeling informed and supported from bid stage through project completion. Representative review excerpt: "We had gathered three bids for our solar project, but Sophia’s excellent communication and steady follow-through immediately set her apart from the competition."

Professional project ownership. Reviewers also praise the professionalism and organization of the coordination process. The feedback suggests the company handled handoffs and updates in a dependable way. Representative review excerpt: "Very professional very on time and very efficient unlike SUN RUN"

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.5/10

Reviewers generally report that projects stayed on schedule or finished sooner than expected, including permit and inspection steps. The evidence points to reliable timing overall, with the main theme being efficient coordination rather than delays.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast turnaround reported. Some reviewers say installation happened quickly, including one project completed within two weeks. These comments point to an efficient pace from planning through activation. Representative review excerpt: "Sophia has been great to work with, has answered all of my (probably) ridiculous questions regarding installation and future use, and was able to get me installed within two weeks..."

Permitting moved smoothly. Reviewers describe the team as staying in contact with the city and keeping paperwork and inspections moving. They report that permitting and approvals were handled carefully and without avoidable holdups. Representative review excerpt: "They stayed in close contact with the city, so the paperwork and inspections moved along without delays."

Deadline-focused coordination. A few customers mention that the team helped them meet a specific project deadline or utility-related timing need. The overall pattern is that scheduling was managed proactively. Representative review excerpt: "We were worried about not getting in before the NEM 3.0 deadline but Sophia & team handled getting all permits & applications submitted correctly & approved without any errors or..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.7/10

Reviewers mostly describe the crew as experienced, professional, and careful on site. The category is slightly tempered by one negative piece of evidence, so the overall picture is positive but not spotless.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installation crews. Many reviewers describe the crew as professional, prompt, and efficient during installation. They say the work was handled cleanly and with attention to the project timeline. Representative review excerpt: "Very professional very on time and very efficient unlike SUN RUN"

Clean and experienced work. Some customers specifically note that the crew was experienced and did a clean job. These comments suggest solid on-site execution and cleanup habits. Representative review excerpt: "The crew that comes out are very experienced, prompt and do a clean job."

Single negative observation in the record. There is one negative review in the evidence set tied to a neighbor’s observation rather than a direct customer installation report. It does not outweigh the broader positive workmanship pattern, but it keeps the category from reading as fully clean. Representative review excerpt: "This company was installing solar panels on my neighbor's house."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support5.0/10

Reviewers do describe helpful post-install support, but there is also a limited complaint signal, and the corpus does not provide much detail about monitoring, warranty service, or repair outcomes.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful after installation. Reviewers say the company remained helpful after the system was installed and answered questions about future use. The comments frame post-install support as part of the positive experience. Representative review excerpt: "Sophia has been great to work with, has answered all of my (probably) ridiculous questions regarding installation and future use, and was able to get me installed within two weeks..."

Good customer service experience. Some customers describe the company as providing strong customer service after the sale. They present the post-install relationship as attentive and easy to work with. Representative review excerpt: "First off, going with a smaller local outfit had its advantages in terms of customer service."

Service follow-up is less developed in the reviews. A few reviewers mention efficient completion after related roof work, but the corpus offers limited detail about longer-term servicing or warranty handling. Because the category is weak overall, the review set leaves more uncertainty here than in the other sections. Representative review excerpt: "Once I had the new roof installed they came out and in less than a day had everything installed."

Bottom line: Across 56 substantive reviews, Solar Earth Choice earns its strongest feedback for communication and coordination, with timeline reliability and workmanship also generally viewed positively. Sales clarity and pricing are described as straightforward, while long-term support and performance is the weakest area because the review set provides less evidence there and a small complaint signal appears in the record.

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.
