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

How does Solhome 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 Solhome 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.

Solhome 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 Integrity7.6/10

Reviewers generally describe clear, helpful sales and proposal experiences, with comments about tailored recommendations, end-to-end quoting support, and attention to project requirements. Complaint mentions are rare in this category, but the overall pattern still points to a mostly positive experience rather than a perfect one.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Tailored recommendations. Reviewers say the team suggested options based on the customer’s needs rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all package. That framing came through as consultative and low-pressure. Representative review excerpt: "I appreciate that he's agnostic and suggest the best for my needs rather than whatever brand he's paid by."

End-to-end proposal help. Reviewers describe support with quoting, rebate timing, scheduling, and finding a workable solution. These comments suggest the proposal process was handled in a coordinated way. Representative review excerpt: "Solhome did a great job end to end from quoting of my system, the rebates, finding the best solution, scheduling all the work, and cranking through to the end for..."

Code-compliance follow-through. Some reviewers note the company made required updates to existing systems so they were up to current electrical code. That points to a practical, detail-oriented sales-to-scope handoff. Representative review excerpt: "Our solar system was pre-existing and they made all the required updates to that system so it was up to date with the national electrical code."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.1/10

Reviewers mostly describe transparent pricing-related discussions, including help securing rebates and a few reports of meaningful savings after installation. A small number of complaints appear in this category, so the overall picture is positive but not uniform.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Rebate and savings guidance. Reviewers say the company helped them secure rebates and navigate incentive timing in a way that reduced out-of-pocket costs. Several comments frame this as a helpful part of the purchasing process. Representative review excerpt: "SolHome was great to work with top to bottom and helped me secure significant rebates saving me thousands of dollars."

Lower monthly bills reported. Some reviewers report much lower electricity bills after the project was completed. These comments are about outcomes rather than promises, but they reinforce the price-value theme in the reviews. Representative review excerpt: "Our SDGE bill went from $350-400 to about $40/month during the hottest part of the year with the AC running constantly!"

Clear expectations, with occasional friction. A few reviewers describe misunderstandings or other pricing-related friction that required follow-up to resolve. That makes this category more mixed than the strongest operational areas. Representative review excerpt: "When there was a misunderstanding of how I wanted the ductwork designed, he happily redid the entire system without hesitation and ensured every concern was addressed until I was fully..."

Communication & coordination

Communication8.4/10

Communication is one of the strongest themes in the review corpus, with reviewers repeatedly describing responsive follow-up, helpful project management, and clear coordination across phases of the job. The category shows no meaningful complaint pattern in the sampled reviews.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive project management. Reviewers consistently say the team was responsive, communicative, and helpful throughout the project. Several mention direct support from the project manager and smooth handling of questions. Representative review excerpt: "Great customer service, the installers were friendly and professional and project manager communicative and helpful."

Strong coordination on complex jobs. Some reviewers describe the team as diligent and able to coordinate effectively with building management or other project constraints. That suggests solid ownership when a project required extra coordination. Representative review excerpt: "Not only did David and team get the job done but they were responsive, communicative, extremely diligent and able to progress working closely with building management independently."

Helpful resolution of misunderstandings. When a design misunderstanding came up, reviewers say the team redid the work and addressed concerns until the customer was satisfied. This points to active follow-through rather than deflection. Representative review excerpt: "When there was a misunderstanding of how I wanted the ductwork designed, he happily redid the entire system without hesitation and ensured every concern was addressed until I was fully..."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.8/10

Reviewers generally report reliable scheduling, steady progress, and good follow-through through permits, inspections, and activation-related steps. The category is strongly positive overall, with reviewers mostly describing projects that moved forward as expected and were completed with coordination.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Able to hit tight deadlines. Reviewers describe the team as able to work through a tight turnaround and still complete the installation in time for an incentive deadline. That suggests strong calendar management under pressure. Representative review excerpt: "Due to complications my oven arrived late, resulting in her team having a super tight turn-around to install it before the rebate deadline and they were able to pull it..."

Smooth end-to-end scheduling. Some reviewers say the company handled scheduling, rebates, and the path to completion in an organized way. These comments suggest consistent project sequencing and follow-through. Representative review excerpt: "Solhome did a great job end to end from quoting of my system, the rebates, finding the best solution, scheduling all the work, and cranking through to the end for..."

Acknowledged timing delays when projects get complex. A few reviewers note that renovation-style work can involve unforeseen timing delays and coordination challenges. The reviews do not present this as a dominant complaint, but it is a realistic watch-out in longer projects. Representative review excerpt: "Like any renovation, there are unforeseen scheduling timing delays that needs coordination with the delivery dates for doors, windows, kitchen cabinetry, master bathroom, tradesmen..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship9.0/10

Workmanship and site care receive the strongest praise in the review set, with reviewers repeatedly describing professional crews, careful property protection, and high-quality installation results. The evidence in this category is overwhelmingly positive, with no meaningful complaint pattern in the sampled reviews.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crews. Reviewers describe the crews as professional, on time, and careful with the property. These comments indicate a strong customer experience at the jobsite. Representative review excerpt: "The crews that came out were extremely professional, always on time, and took exceptional care of my property."

Excellent workmanship on complex installs. Some reviewers specifically praise the workmanship lead and note quality execution on multi-part projects. The comments suggest the team handled both craftsmanship and coordination well. Representative review excerpt: "Luis was the crew lead and did a great job of communicating with me and managing all the other workers and his workmanship was excellent."

Careful integration and finish work. Reviewers also mention successful integration of equipment into existing systems and additional work such as roofing and water-heating projects. That points to solid technical execution beyond a basic install. Representative review excerpt: "This wasn’t a cookie-cutter install—I had an existing Tesla solar system, and they integrated a battery solution into it."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.6/10

Reviewers generally report that systems are working well after installation and that the company continues to answer questions and help fine-tune performance after turn-on. The category is positive overall, though it is less evidence-heavy than the workmanship and communication themes.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Post-install support continues. Reviewers say the team kept helping after installation by answering questions and making sure the system ran smoothly. That suggests support did not stop at turnover. Representative review excerpt: "Even after the installation, they’ve continued to support us—answering questions, making sure the system runs smoothly, and helping us fine-tune things as needed."

Reported system performance is strong. Some reviewers describe installed equipment as working very well after completion. These comments support a positive view of the post-install outcome. Representative review excerpt: "They also installed a new roof and heat pump hot water heater with a mixing valve system and it works amazing."

Integration and tuning after installation. Reviewers also mention help fine-tuning systems and integrating new components into existing setups. That indicates some post-install service for more complex projects. Representative review excerpt: "This wasn’t a cookie-cutter install—I had an existing Tesla solar system, and they integrated a battery solution into it."

Bottom line: Across 128 substantive reviews, SOLHOME’s review pattern is strongly positive, especially for workmanship, communication, and schedule follow-through. The softer spots are around price-related transparency and sales expectations, where most feedback is still favorable but a few complaints and misunderstandings appear. Overall, the profile shows a company that many reviewers say handled projects carefully and stayed engaged through completion and after install.

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.
