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

How does Solcore 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 Solcore 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.

Solcore reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback, updated September 28, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.8/10

Reviewers describe SOLCORE’s sales process as clear, low-pressure, and grounded in realistic expectations. The strongest theme is that proposals and savings explanations are presented in a way that helps customers feel informed before signing.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, honest proposals. Reviewers say the team explains what will and will not work up front, which builds confidence in the proposal process. Representative review excerpt: "He is honest with you from the beginning about what will and won't work!"

Low-pressure consultative approach. Customers describe a sales experience focused on questions and fit rather than pushing a product, and some say that approach helped them feel comfortable moving forward. Representative review excerpt: "He listened and asked questions rather than just tried to force a product down our throats."

Savings expectations matched. Some reviewers report that the savings they experienced lined up with what was discussed during the sales process. Representative review excerpt: "His expertise gave me confidence that I was making the right decision, and the savings have been exactly what he promised."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.9/10

Feedback on price and financing is positive overall, with reviewers saying estimates were useful and pricing felt fair. The review set also suggests this area is not completely friction-free, but complaint evidence is limited in the corpus provided.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Accurate sizing and estimate context. Reviewers say the company’s estimates were helpful in sizing systems appropriately and in setting expectations around final needs. Representative review excerpt: "Their estimate of the additional panels needed to cover my EV charging was accurate and gave me the right amount to avoid additional utility bills."

Pricing described as Pricing. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "Easy team to work with, great product at a great price!"

Cost expectations generally aligned. Several reviewers report that the pricing conversation matched what they experienced after the project moved forward, with no broad pattern of surprise costs in the available reviews. Representative review excerpt: "I can now see all of my power consumption and delivery on the Tesla app and Solcore had the most competitive pricing too!"

Communication & coordination

Communication7.5/10

Communication and coordination are mostly described positively, with reviewers highlighting responsive contacts, clear explanations, and hands-on project ownership. There is one complaint pattern in the evidence set around waiting for an update near the final activation step, so the category is strong but not perfect.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive point of contact. Reviewers say their project leads checked in regularly and communicated clearly throughout the process, including after installation was complete. Representative review excerpt: "Communication has been excellent and he’s even checked in occasionally even after the install was completed."

Clear project guidance. Customers describe the team as taking ownership of the project and explaining each step in an understandable way. Representative review excerpt: "Trevor took point for our project and explained everything in an understandable and detailed manner, and worked closely (and patiently) with us as we worked through what system made the..."

Update delays near activation. One reviewer reports difficulty getting an update while waiting for panels to be turned on, which suggests some communication gaps can appear late in the process. Representative review excerpt: "We are currently in the final step of getting our solar panels turned on and have been trying to get an update on when this will happen."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Timeline feedback is mostly positive, with several reviewers saying permitting, logistics, and installation moved smoothly. Still, the available reviews include a small number of complaints about long waits or uncertainty near final activation, so schedule reliability appears somewhat uneven.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Permitting and logistics handled smoothly. Reviewers say the team managed permits and logistics in a seamless way, which helped the project feel easier than expected. Representative review excerpt: "Solcore also made the install process smooth and easy, with Annette and the team handling the permitting, logistics, and install work seamlessly -- overall, we were surprised at how easy..."

Straightforward installation flow. Customers describe the overall process as smooth and easy, with coordination that reduced friction during the project timeline. Representative review excerpt: "He paid close attention to detail while inspecting my roof and attic, and he had a great personality that made it much easier to feel comfortable with such a large..."

Long waits can happen. A small number of reviewers describe waiting a long time for installation or activation updates, even when they note the delay was not entirely the company’s fault. Representative review excerpt: "Things took forever to get installed but that wasn't really their fault as frustrating as it was."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.8/10

Workmanship reviews are consistently favorable, with customers describing clean installs, careful site handling, and professional crews. The evidence provided does not show a complaint pattern in this category, so the main story is strong execution on the jobsite.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean, professional installation. Reviewers say the finished installation looks clean and professional, with work that appears careful rather than rushed. Representative review excerpt: "The installation looked clean and professional, and you can tell he actually cares about doing quality work instead of just making a sale."

Attention to roof and attic details. Customers describe inspectors and installers paying close attention to the roof and attic, which helped them feel comfortable with the project scope. Representative review excerpt: "He paid close attention to detail while inspecting my roof and attic, and he had a great personality that made it much easier to feel comfortable with such a large..."

Seamless crew coordination. Some reviewers say the crew handled permitting, logistics, and install work seamlessly, reinforcing a polished on-site experience. Representative review excerpt: "Solcore also made the install process smooth and easy, with Annette and the team handling the permitting, logistics, and install work seamlessly -- overall, we were surprised at how easy..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.2/10

Post-install feedback is positive overall, with reviewers describing solid system performance and useful monitoring after the system is turned on. The corpus provided does not show a complaint pattern here, but the number of evidence reviews is smaller than in some other categories.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Monitoring and production visibility. Reviewers say the app and monitoring tools make it easy to see consumption and delivery after installation. Representative review excerpt: "I can now see all of my power consumption and delivery on the Tesla app and Solcore had the most competitive pricing too!"

Systems reported to perform well. Customers describe their systems as meeting day-to-day needs after turn-on, including in households with higher usage. Representative review excerpt: "With triple-digit summers and AC running most days we still have not had to pay any electrical costs to PGE beyond the service fee of 30 bucks a year or..."

Interest in adding more equipment. Some reviewers report being satisfied enough after installation that they later chose to add batteries or expand the system. Representative review excerpt: "We are even adding batteries!"

Bottom line: Across 46 substantive reviews, SOLCORE’s strongest themes are sales clarity, workmanship, and generally responsive communication. The main caution points are around timeline reliability and occasional late-stage update delays, while pricing and post-install support read positive overall.

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.
