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

How does Sungrid Solar 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 Sungrid Solar 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.

Sungrid Solar 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 Integrity6.3/10

Reviewers most often describe Sungrid’s sales process as personable and informative, with several saying the company set expectations clearly and followed through. At the same time, a smaller but notable set of reviews says promised incentives, contract terms, or system expectations were not reflected in the outcome.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful, attentive sales process. Many reviewers say the company took time to explain options, answer questions, and make them feel comfortable with the decision. Several also describe the follow-up after the sale as strong. Representative review excerpt: "What really stood out was the level of customer service — I always felt like a priority, and their follow-up after the system was up and running was outstanding."

Clear information for decision-making. Some reviewers say they received enough detail and personal attention to understand the proposal before signing. These comments frame the sales experience as straightforward and low-pressure. Representative review excerpt: "Especially in SoCal, I felt the personal service and attention giving me all the detail I needed to make the decision."

Promises and contract expectations. Other reviewers report issues with incentives, battery expectations, or the contract not matching what they believed was agreed to. These complaints suggest the sales experience was not always aligned with later results. Representative review excerpt: "I was promised incentives to go with the company never received, I never received a solar backup battery to store your energy."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency4.8/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mixed and leans negative. Some reviewers say there were no surprise charges, but more of the evidence focuses on rebate timing, financing burdens, or paying more than expected after the project was complete.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Rebates and total cost concerns. Several reviewers report missing rebates, unclear incentive timing, or paying more than expected once solar and utility bills were combined. The overall pattern is that pricing expectations were not always matched by the final financial outcome. Representative review excerpt: "Promised a $1000 rebate never received."

No surprise pricing in some jobs. A few reviewers say the project finished without unexpected price changes or add-on charges. These comments suggest some customers found the billing process clear. Representative review excerpt: "Andrew and his crew are very professional and there were no surprises."

Minor fixes without added cost. One reviewer says the installer resolved small panel issues without a change order or price increase. That points to at least some transparency around corrections. Representative review excerpt: "There were a few minor issues in my original panel that the installer simply fixed without a change order or a price increase."

Communication & coordination

Communication5.7/10

Reviews lean positive on day-to-day responsiveness and customer service, with many customers saying staff were helpful and communicative during the project. However, the complaints are meaningful and focus on slow follow-through, poor updates, and cases where customers had to push for responses.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive, helpful support. Many reviewers say staff were nice, responsive, and easy to work with during the process. Several also describe being guided or educated through the project from start to finish. Representative review excerpt: "They helped and educated me through the whole process."

Strong customer service follow-up. Some customers say they felt like a priority and appreciated the follow-up after the system was operating. These reviews describe communication as clear and supportive. Representative review excerpt: "What really stood out was the level of customer service — I always felt like a priority, and their follow-up after the system was up and running was outstanding."

Needed persistent follow-up. Other reviewers report having to repeatedly ask for updates, repairs, or basic coordination help. These comments point to inconsistent communication and uneven project ownership. Representative review excerpt: "I have been able to work through repairs and have had personal contact by my prompting, not by their response to my calls or messages."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.1/10

Timeline feedback is somewhat positive overall, with multiple reviewers saying installation moved quickly or finished on schedule. Still, a meaningful set of complaints describes delays, cancellations, and slow progress through permitting or activation steps.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Projects moving quickly. Some reviewers say the company kept the work moving and completed installation ahead of schedule. These comments suggest the timeline was smooth for at least part of the customer base. Representative review excerpt: "They are moving things along quick too I’m excited about being a customer."

On-time installation and permitting work. Other reviewers say crews worked hard to finish on time and showed knowledge of the permitting process. This supports the view that schedule management was often handled well. Representative review excerpt: "Edward and Diego have displayed expertise and experience in installation and permitting."

Delays and missed timelines. A notable set of reviews reports repeated delays, cancellation of installation dates, and frustration getting clear completion updates. These complaints indicate schedule reliability was not consistent across projects. Representative review excerpt: "countless cancellations of installation dates, which caused me prolonged electric bills , as well as cancellations of appointments, In conclussion, I BITTERLY REGRET SIGNING ON WITH SUNGRID ."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.7/10

This is Sungrid’s strongest category. Reviewers frequently describe the installation crews as professional, clean, and efficient, and most comments say the work itself was handled well; only a small number mention equipment issues at installation.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean, efficient crews. Many reviewers say the installation was smooth, respectful, and tidy. These comments consistently point to professional site behavior. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was smooth and completed ahead of schedule, and the crew was respectful, clean, and efficient."

Clear process and good craftsmanship. Several customers describe a clean process, answered questions, and panels that deliver as expected. This suggests solid workmanship and good job-site execution. Representative review excerpt: "No fluff, no surprises — just a clean process and panels that deliver."

Some installation equipment issues. A small number of reviewers report problems with panels or microinverters that needed replacement during installation. While uncommon in the evidence, these comments show that some jobs required corrective work. Representative review excerpt: "We had panels and microinveter with issues at installation that needed to be replaced."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support6.1/10

Post-install feedback is mixed. Some reviewers report systems working well and follow-up support being strong, while others describe underproduction, service gaps, or needing to push for repairs after the system was turned on.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Service and performance complaints after activation. Other reviewers say systems did not produce enough energy, repairs required their own prompting, or post-install support dropped off after the job was completed. The complaint pattern centers on long-term follow-through and system performance. Representative review excerpt: "Now all 4 properties that Sungrid installed solar on does not produce enough energy and we are all paying a hell of a lot more for electricity than before solar..."

Systems working well for some customers. A number of reviewers say the system produced as expected and that follow-up support remained helpful after activation. These comments reflect positive performance for part of the review set. Representative review excerpt: "Install was smooth, communication was clear, and the system works exactly as expected."

Good results after installation. Some customers report that their solar system was working properly and that they were pleased with early bill results. These reviews suggest at least some successful post-install outcomes. Representative review excerpt: "I am excited to share that the solar is working perfectly and with my very first electric bill, it is so awesome to see credits instead of charges on my..."

Bottom line: Solar.com’s review corpus gives SUNGRID SOLAR a 6.7/10 overall, with especially strong workmanship and generally positive feedback on sales, coordination, and timelines. The biggest pressure points are price and financing transparency, plus some post-install support and performance complaints. Overall, reviewers describe a company that often delivers a solid installation experience, but not always a smooth financial or long-term service experience.

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.
