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

How does Soleil Solar Electric 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 Soleil Solar Electric 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.

Fair pricing references. Customers repeatedly describe the pricing as fair and dependable rather than surprising or aggressive. Representative review excerpt: "Company is timely, efficient, courteous, fair priced, and dependable."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.4/10

Reviewers describe strong post-install performance and continued support after the system was turned on. The feedback includes reports of solid production, later service help, and satisfied ownership experiences rather than recurring warranty or repair complaints.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong production results. One reviewer reports the system produced more than the guaranteed amount after a year of operation. Representative review excerpt: "One year after the installation was completed, the system is producing 20% more than he guaranteed it would have produced."

Post-install service help. Customers say the company took calls and provided service years after installation when a problem arose.

Bottom line: Across 22 substantive reviews, SOLEIL SOLAR ELECTRIC earns an overall positive profile, with especially strong marks for workmanship, communication, and post-install support. Pricing and proposal integrity also read favorably, and the reviewed feedback does not show a recurring complaint pattern in any category. The main limitation is that the evidence base is relatively small and drawn from Google and Yelp only.

How this is built: category scores and summaries weigh the company's full published rating record (15 Google reviews averaging 5.0 stars), the most recent and most relevant review texts, and recurring feedback themes verified acrossGoogle and Yelp. Ratings and review excerpts from published review sources. Refreshed as new feedback is published. No installer can pay to change it.

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.
