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

How does Solarhut 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 Solarhut 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.

Solarhut 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 Integrity7.1/10

Reviewers generally describe the sales process as knowledgeable and low-pressure, with several noting clear explanations, thoughtful proposal work, and time spent answering questions. A small number of reviews report missed follow-through, including no-shows and quotes that were not delivered after a site visit.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure sales conversations. Reviewers say the team explained options carefully, answered questions thoroughly, and did not oversell systems. Some also describe detailed proposal support from the owner. Representative review excerpt: "They are a great company: they are knowledgeable and don’t try to oversell you."

Detailed proposal support. Reviewers report that concerns about proposal details were addressed through extended back-and-forth and multiple interactions. This comes through as attentive sales support rather than a rushed pitch. Representative review excerpt: "I also had several interactions with the owner, Luke Miller, for every detail, and graciously spending many hours of his time responding to my concerns about their proposal."

Follow-through misses. A few reviewers describe no-shows or a lack of response after a site visit and financing discussion. That pattern suggests occasional breakdowns in proposal follow-through. Representative review excerpt: "They came out and went through the entire site visit, provided info on financing and then NEVER followed through with the quote and did not respond to follow-up calls regarding..."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.7/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mostly favorable, with reviewers saying estimates were clear and systems were not oversold. The main criticism is that one reviewer felt the company was more expensive than another bid, so value perceptions are not uniform.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Upfront estimates. Reviewers say they received clear, upfront pricing information and did not encounter surprises in the process. Financing discussions are also described as straightforward in the available feedback. Representative review excerpt: "They were very responsive throughout the scheduling process and provided a clear, upfront estimate, so there were no surprises."

Cost-conscious recommendations. Some reviewers say the team steered them toward a system sized to their needs rather than pushing a larger package. That is presented as a value-focused approach to pricing and financing. Representative review excerpt: "I really liked that Luke did not oversell us a system that bigger than our needs, but encouraged us to get one that was most cost-effective for us."

Higher-than-lowest bid. One reviewer said the price was higher than the lowest bid they received, though they still chose the company for its interaction and technical capability. This reads as a value tradeoff rather than a hidden-fee complaint. Representative review excerpt: "They were somewhat more expensive than the lowest bid I had, but I chose them over others because of my good interaction with them and their technical capability."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.4/10

Most reviews describe the team as responsive, easy to work with, and willing to answer questions or explain next steps. The complaint pattern centers on missed callbacks, poor updates, and occasional appointment coordination problems.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive support. Reviewers frequently say the team responded quickly, communicated clearly, and kept them informed through scheduling and planning. Several comments also mention helpful owner involvement and good answers to questions. Representative review excerpt: "They were very responsive throughout the scheduling process and provided a clear, upfront estimate, so there were no surprises."

Strong hands-on coordination. Some reviewers highlight detailed follow-up and active project ownership, including time spent walking through proposal concerns and helping move decisions forward. This suggests solid coordination when the process is going well. Representative review excerpt: "I also had several interactions with the owner, Luke Miller, for every detail, and graciously spending many hours of his time responding to my concerns about their proposal."

Communication lapses. A small number of reviews describe lack of communication, missed callbacks, or waiting around for someone who did not show. These comments indicate that coordination can break down for some customers. Representative review excerpt: "This was not communicated to me so I sat around for 2+ hours waiting for someone to show up."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.2/10

Timeline feedback is generally positive, with reviewers saying projects moved through design, permitting, installation, and deadline commitments in an organized way. A small set of reviews point to no-shows or poor notice for appointments, which is the main watch-out in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Schedule progress through key stages. Reviewers say projects moved smoothly from design through permits and installation, and some mention that deadlines were met after commitment. That points to decent reliability on planned work. Representative review excerpt: "From designing, through permits,through installation."

On-schedule project handling. Several comments describe the company as committed to keeping projects on schedule while taking care of homeowners. This suggests a generally dependable timeline when coordination is working. Representative review excerpt: "Their team is trustworthy, communicative, and committed to keeping projects on schedule while ensuring homeowners are taken care of."

Appointment no-shows. A few reviews mention waiting for a scheduled visit that did not happen or was not clearly communicated. Those reports are the clearest timeline complaint in the corpus. Representative review excerpt: "This was not communicated to me so I sat around for 2+ hours waiting for someone to show up."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.1/10

Reviews on workmanship and site care are uniformly positive in the analyzed corpus. Customers describe professional crews, clean work areas, and technically capable installations, with no complaint pattern appearing in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installation work. Reviewers describe the installation experience as smooth and technically solid, including more complex setups. The workmanship is portrayed as careful and well executed. Representative review excerpt: "Solar hut was wonderful to work with for my power wall installation."

Clean job sites. One reviewer specifically notes that electricians commented on how clean everything was. That supports a strong impression of site care and cleanup. Representative review excerpt: "All my electricians I use have always had good things to say about how clean everything is."

Good products and execution. Other reviews pair installation quality with a favorable experience on the schedule and products used. The feedback here is consistently positive rather than mixed. Representative review excerpt: "Great service, installation schedule and products."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.0/10

Post-install feedback is strongly favorable, with reviewers describing help with repairs, prompt diagnosis, and responsive service after the system was already in place. The only caution in the available reviews is an occasional communication lapse tied to support follow-up.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive repair service. Reviewers say the team handled system repairs promptly, including diagnosing and fixing issues in a short visit. That points to capable post-install support. Representative review excerpt: "SolarHut did an excellent job repairing an arc fault on my solar system."

Helpful follow-up appointments. Some customers report getting an assessment appointment within a couple of work days and receiving useful help on the phone. This suggests good responsiveness when service is needed after installation. Representative review excerpt: "Shay was helpful on the phone and I was able to get an appointment within 2 work days with the manager, Spencer, to come out and assess the issue."

Occasional support communication issue. One review mentions a lack of communication during a support-related interaction. It appears as an isolated complaint rather than a broader pattern in the post-install feedback. Representative review excerpt: "I initially gave Solar Hut a bad review because of the lack of communication we received."

Bottom line: Across 72 substantive reviews, SOLARHUT scores strongest for workmanship, site care, and long-term support, while sales, communication, timeline reliability, and pricing are generally positive with some isolated complaints. The main watch-outs are occasional no-shows, delayed follow-through, and communication gaps, but those issues appear limited relative to the overall review set.

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.
