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

How does Sun Dollar 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 Sun Dollar 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.

Sun Dollar 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 most often describe the sales process as straightforward, with clear recommendations and little sign of hard-sell pressure. A small number of reviewers report confusion or dissatisfaction around what was expected during the job, so this category is positive overall with a limited complaint pattern.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Straightforward, low-pressure sales. Reviewers frequently say the team was honest, reliable, and not pushy during the proposal process. Representative review excerpt: "He is honest and reliable none of the sales pitch stuff."

Helpful recommendations. Some reviewers say the owner acted like a trustworthy advisor by testing options before recommending them and adjusting the system as needs changed. Representative review excerpt: "The owner will be your trustworthy energy advisor because he tests the practices before recommending them to the home owners."

Isolated contract confusion. One reviewer reports a dispute over what had been left out and says the explanation given later did not match their expectations. Representative review excerpt: "When we asked what had been forgotten they tried to trick us but eventually they explained that they needed an already-installed part from our site to take to another site."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.9/10

Reviews are mostly positive about pricing, with several customers saying costs felt reasonable and the final value was strong for the equipment received. There is limited complaint evidence in this category, so the overall picture is favorable but not spotless.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Reasonable pricing descriptions. Reviewers say they received detailed cost breakdowns and felt the pricing was fair for the work performed. Representative review excerpt: "Not only did they deliver speedy service, but they also provided a detailed breakdown of the repair costs, which were more than reasonable considering the quality of their workmanship."

Strong value for the system. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "Sun Dollar Solar had one of the best prices for the system we ended up with and we didn't have to sacrifice the quality of equipment."

Limited pricing complaint pattern. The evidence set includes one complaint about expectations around pricing or cost-related arrangements, but it is not a dominant theme. Representative review excerpt: "My sister in law got 15 solar panels installed in her home by the builder for the same price but lesser than that we got ours for 24 panels through..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.4/10

Most reviewers report responsive communication and strong follow-through, including help with questions and later issues. A small number of customers mention delays or needing repeated follow-up, so coordination appears generally strong but occasionally uneven.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive follow-up. Reviewers say the owner and crew were quick to respond to questions and concerns, sometimes personally checking in after the job. Representative review excerpt: "Anytime I have called with questions or requests, the owner has personally responded to me within 30 minutes by phone and has personally showed up to up to check on..."

Support after the sale. Some customers describe lasting support over time, including help when concerns came up years after installation. Representative review excerpt: "I felt very safe making my purchase with him, but throughout the years he has been there for me with any concerns or issues he has sent someone else to..."

Occasional follow-up delays. A minority of reviewers say they had to keep calling or waiting for responses before their project moved forward or was turned on. Representative review excerpt: "It took over 2 weeks for ours to get turned on and that was after we kept calling and following up with them."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Reviewers commonly describe the work as fast and efficient, with several noting a quick install-to-activation process. One complaint points to a slower-than-expected activation experience, so timing is mostly positive with a limited watch-out.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast project completion. Several reviewers say the install, inspection, and final cutover were completed quickly. Representative review excerpt: "After we decided on 1 of the 3 proposals, Jason and his crew completed the install, inspection and final cutover less then 2 weeks ..."

Speedy service theme. Customers also describe the company as efficient and timely when handling installs and related work. Representative review excerpt: "If you are looking for an honest, affordable, and speedy solar installation this is the company to go through."

One delayed activation report. One reviewer says it took more than two weeks to get turned on and required repeated follow-up. Representative review excerpt: "It took over 2 weeks for ours to get turned on and that was after we kept calling and following up with them."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.1/10

Most reviewers praise the installation quality and describe the crew as professional, thorough, and dependable. The complaint evidence is limited, but one reviewer reports seeing footprints on panels after the crew left, so site care is generally positive with a small caution.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Solid installation quality. Reviewers say the installation was done well and the system worked as expected after completion. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was done perfectly and the system works exactly as advertised."

Thorough crew work. Some customers describe the team as thorough and the finished work as holding up well over time. Representative review excerpt: "Their work is thorough, the team is extremely responsive, and my system has been running strong for over 10 years."

Site-care concern. One reviewer reports finding footprints on several panels after installation and inspection. Representative review excerpt: "Then, when my husband went up to the roof to inspect the panels, he discovered foot prints on several of the panels."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.4/10

Long-term feedback is mostly positive, with reviewers describing systems that continue to perform well and support that remains available after installation. There is a limited complaint pattern in the evidence, but it does not outweigh the stronger post-install praise.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Ongoing support after install. Reviewers say help remained available years later when questions or issues came up. Representative review excerpt: "I felt very safe making my purchase with him, but throughout the years he has been there for me with any concerns or issues he has sent someone else to..."

Strong system performance. Customers report that their systems have continued running well and meeting expectations over time. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was done perfectly and the system works exactly as advertised."

Sustained satisfaction. Some reviewers say the systems they referred or heard about were performing well and customers were happy with the service. Representative review excerpt: "My friends couldn’t be happier with the performance of their systems as well."

Bottom line: Solar.com’s review sample for SOLAR REPAIR_CENTER INC DBA SUN DOLLAR SOLAR is broadly positive, with especially strong feedback on sales approach, communication, and long-term performance. The main cautions are isolated complaints around timing, follow-up, and site care rather than a consistent negative pattern.

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.
