Sales & proposal integrity
Sales Integrity7.7/10
Reviewers most often describe the sales process as clear, knowledgeable, and low-pressure, with several noting that representatives took time to explain design choices and savings expectations.

Clear, low-pressure explanations. Reviewers frequently say the proposal process was handled professionally and that sales staff explained solar options in a way that made the decision easier. Several also mention not feeling pressured. Representative review excerpt: "Because of Micheal Curtis and his ability to explain and dissect what's good and bad about solar, and explaining the savings and what's good or bad is the only reason..."
Realistic savings guidance. Some reviewers specifically appreciated candid guidance about what made financial sense for their situation, including explanations of when batteries would or would not be worth the added cost. Representative review excerpt: "He honestly explained why adding expensive batteries wouldn't make financial sense for my specific situation, and pointed out how recent utility fixed-fee hikes were the real culprit."
Some complaints about expectations. A minority of reviewers describe problems with how the system was represented at the sale stage, including concerns about permits, monitoring, or how the design and follow-through matched expectations. Representative review excerpt: "Where do I start, sales guy lied about everything from city permits to monitoring and bragging how he built a system to 110% to 125% over what we needed."

Responsive office handling. Several reviewers say office staff were responsive and helped keep the project moving, which reduced confusion around the overall process.

Representative review excerpt: "But when they 'fit' me into their schedule, they want to charge $350 to even come out and see what is wrong!"
Communication & coordination
Communication7.4/10
Reviewers often describe the team as communicative, responsive, and helpful in coordinating the project from start to finish.

Service contact delays. Other reviewers say follow-up on service requests was slow or inconsistent, with some reporting repeated unanswered calls or emails. Representative review excerpt: "Now I need service for an issue and the phone lines are jammed, they don't return calls or email to their service dept."
Timeline reliability
Timeline Reliability7.7/10
Most reviewers say installation and activation happened on schedule or close to it, and several describe the work as timely once the project was underway. The main complaints involve extended timelines tied to permits, inspections, or delayed scheduling, with a few reviewers describing projects that stretched for months.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote
Often completed on schedule. Several reviewers say the job was completed quickly, sometimes in a day or ahead of schedule, and that the company delivered when it said it would. Representative review excerpt: "Highly communicative with super fast responses, great listeners, professionally installed and only took 1 day, completed as promised, passed inspection."
Permit and utility hurdles. Some reviewers note that timeline issues were tied to city or utility-related hurdles rather than the installation team itself, which slowed activation or final completion. Representative review excerpt: "I cannot say it was the smoothest process in the world mostly due to hurdles created by The City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power."
Long waits in some cases. A smaller set of complaints says certain jobs took several months to finish or left customers waiting for updates on completion dates. Representative review excerpt: "It took over six months to complete the job"
Workmanship & site care
Workmanship8.6/10
This is one of the strongest-rated areas in the review set.

Representative review excerpt: "We had two separate, professional roofing contractors evaluate the damages and clearly state, "The leaking roof was directly caused by improper panel installation."
Long-term support & performance
Long-Term Support8.0/10
Reviewers generally say the systems continue producing well after installation, and several describe the panels and inverters as working reliably over time.
