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

How does Solar Revolution 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 Revolution 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 Revolution 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 Integrity6.7/10

Reviewers are often positive about upfront quoting, explanation of options, and not feeling pushed into an oversized system. The main concerns are about alleged misstatements or expectations that did not match later service terms, so the overall picture is positive-to-mixed rather than cleanly positive.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure sales process. Several reviewers say the initial quote process was straightforward and that questions were answered directly, with some noting there was no hard sell on system size or package fit. Representative review excerpt: "Scott(Owner) came promptly to my home to give me a quote and answer any questions I had."

Repeat customers and detailed proposals. Some reviewers report returning for a second installation and say the proposal process included options, costs, and an estimated payback timeline. Representative review excerpt: "Scott Woods came out to the house about a month prior to the installation and went through our options and costs and perceived payback timeline."

Concerns about sales expectations. A smaller set of reviewers describe disputed promises or unclear expectations around service terms and other sales details, which makes this category feel mixed. Representative review excerpt: "Scott lied to us from day one, Lots of false promises."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.4/10

Reviews lean positive on pricing and financing when the system performs as expected, with some customers saying the arrangement felt easy to understand. Still, a notable minority raise concerns about unexpected costs, labor charges, or the effect of incentive timing on the final economics.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Financing and bill savings feel workable. Some reviewers say financing was easy and that their bills dropped enough to offset ongoing utility charges, which they describe as a good value outcome. Representative review excerpt: "We only have to pay the PG&E service fees and our bill is already in the black."

Price and rebate timing described favorably. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "I got a phone call one day on my cell phone from Solar Revolution, which I almost hung up on, saying they beat everyone price, Peter came out, I did..."

Unexpected costs and fee concerns. Other reviewers report surprise charges or say labor fees were not presented as they expected, so the transparency picture is not fully consistent. Representative review excerpt: "This company will make you pay for labor if your system goes down even tho when they sell you your system they make it very clear that if something goes..."

Communication & coordination

Communication6.0/10

Communication is one of the more uneven areas in the review set. Many customers describe responsive owners or project staff who explained the process clearly, but others report unanswered messages, busy phone lines, or project handoff problems.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Hands-on explanation during the process. Several reviewers say the owner or project manager took time to walk them through options, costs, and next steps in person. Representative review excerpt: "I remember the owner and the project manager sitting in our home explaining everything to us."

Responsive, accommodating follow-through. Some customers describe the team as responsive and willing to make room for special requests even when schedules were busy. Representative review excerpt: "They had other jobs following mine lined up, but they knew it would make me happy, so they found a way to do the extra things I asked them."

Follow-up gaps for some customers. Other reviewers report unanswered texts and emails, or describe coordination issues that lingered after the install, which pulls this category into mixed territory. Representative review excerpt: "My text and emails have gone unanswered and phone line is a busy signal."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Most reviewers describe the timeline as dependable, including quick installs and reasonable waits for permit or county sign-off. The complaint pattern is limited, but one review describes a long-running approval-related issue that extended the project well beyond the expected window.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast install pace. Several reviewers say the crew completed the physical installation quickly, with one noting the panels were installed by the middle of the second day. Representative review excerpt: "By the middle of the 2nd day all 24 G10+ panels were installed with iQ8 Micro inverters."

Permit and sign-off delays handled as expected. Some reviewers say they waited for county approval or similar sign-off steps, but that the work moved ahead once those checks cleared. Representative review excerpt: "We had to wait a couple weeks after we signed on to give them time to get the county to sign off on it, but then they were off and..."

One long-running approval issue. A small number of reviews describe schedule problems tied to approval or plan-following issues that dragged on for an extended period. Representative review excerpt: "While the solar system functions, the company’s failure to follow the plans that were submitted and approved by my HOA has caused ongoing headaches for over 1.5 years."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.4/10

Workmanship is one of the stronger parts of the review set. Reviewers frequently describe professional crews, solid-looking installs, and clean execution, while a small set of complaints mention improper installation or related damage concerns.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installation work. Many reviewers say the installation itself was handled smoothly and that the finished system looked well put together. Representative review excerpt: "Solar Revolution did install a solar panels system on our house in EDH."

Crew handled the job efficiently. Some customers highlight how quickly the panels and inverters were installed, suggesting organized site work and competent crews. Representative review excerpt: "By the middle of the 2nd day all 24 G10+ panels were installed with iQ8 Micro inverters."

Damage and follow-through concerns. A few reviews describe workmanship problems, including claims of roof or ceiling damage tied to the install, so site care is not complaint-free. Representative review excerpt: "I noticed some water damage on the ceiling and had multiple roofers come out which all informed me the leak was coming from the improper install of the solar panels."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support5.0/10

Long-term support is the weakest area in the review set. While many reviewers say their systems are producing well after install, several others report unresolved service issues, slow responses, or disagreement about what post-install labor support should cost.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong production reports. Some reviewers say the system is generating as expected or even outperforming their household usage, which points to solid post-install performance for part of the sample. Representative review excerpt: "Now we are producing more electricity than the electricity we used even with an EV, Scott and his team did a great job."

Satisfied with output over time. Other customers describe being pleased with the installed system and note that performance has matched what they were told to expect. Representative review excerpt: "The system seems to be producing what he stated."

Service and warranty frustration. A notable share of complaints centers on unresolved problems after turn-on, including unanswered support requests and disputes over labor charges when repairs are needed. Representative review excerpt: "This company will make you pay for labor if your system goes down even tho when they sell you your system they make it very clear that if something goes..."

Bottom line: Solar Revolution’s reviews are strongest on workmanship, timeline reliability, and many of the initial sales interactions. The more cautious ratings come from communication, pricing transparency, and especially post-install support, where reviewers describe unresolved service issues and disputes over labor or repair expectations.

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.
