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

How does Sunlectric 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 Sunlectric 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.

Sunlectric 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 Integrity7.3/10

Reviewers describe Sunlectric's sales process as clear, low-pressure, and grounded in practical proposal details. The evidence is overwhelmingly positive, with no complaint pattern in the sampled reviews.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure consultations. Reviewers say the sales experience felt more like a discussion than a pitch, and that the team stayed professional through the process. Representative review excerpt: "When you get the owner come out and talk to you about it, as opposed to a sales pitch, it makes a difference."

Helpful guidance on proposal tradeoffs. Some reviewers note that proposals were explained in a way that helped them understand panel choices, warranty differences, and project expectations. Representative review excerpt: "Some of the other proposals were lower but that was because they recommended different panels that cost less and did not have as good a warranty as SunPower."

Support through difficult situations. A few customers say the company worked with them step by step when their circumstances were complicated, which helped set clear expectations for the project. Representative review excerpt: "Worked with me every step of the way in my fairly difficult situation I had where I lived and were professional the whole way thru."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.7/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is limited but generally positive. Reviewers mention straightforward discussions of project cost and financing options, with no substantive complaint pattern in the available reviews.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Cost and financing discussed upfront. Reviewers say they were given a clear look at project cost along with financing options when deciding to move forward. Representative review excerpt: "I ended up going with Sunlectric due to their great customer service, use of high quality parts and general cost of the project and financing options."

Questions handled promptly. One reviewer describes follow-up that helped verify details and address concerns, which supports a sense of transparency around the final arrangement. Representative review excerpt: "Joe came out the following day and verified a few things and went over all of my concerns."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.1/10

Most reviewers describe responsive communication and steady coordination from sales through installation. One post-install service complaint appears in the sample, so the overall read is positive with a small watch-out on follow-through after the system is operating.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive day-to-day communication. Reviewers frequently say Joe and the support staff answered questions, kept them updated, and stayed involved throughout the process. Representative review excerpt: "Joe was very responsive and answered all of my questions throughout the process."

Hands-on coordination across the project. Customers describe the team as helpful when dealing with complicated living situations, ownership handoffs, and other project logistics. Representative review excerpt: "Worked with me every step of the way in my fairly difficult situation I had where I lived and were professional the whole way thru."

Service follow-up can be inconsistent. One reviewer reports difficulty getting a response when service was needed after installation, which suggests post-install communication may be less consistent in some cases. Representative review excerpt: "However now, our panels need service and no one ever answers when we call."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

The review sample points to reliable scheduling, efficient installations, and active coordination with permitting and utility steps. Reviewers do not describe a broad delay pattern in the evidence used here.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast installation turnaround. Several reviewers say the crew completed installation quickly and had systems running within a few days or in only a short window of work. Representative review excerpt: "His crew was professional and had our system up and running after a few days of installation."

Permits and inspections handled. Customers report that the company worked with the city, HOA, and utility provider to complete inspections and paperwork needed for activation. Representative review excerpt: "They worked with the homeowners association, the city and PG&E to complete the installation and all inspections and paperwork."

Clean scheduling on larger jobs. One reviewer describes a multi-panel tile-roof install being finished in two days by a small crew, which supports the reliability of the timeline process. Representative review excerpt: "Install of 30 panels with my tile roof took their 3 man team only 2 days."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.7/10

Reviewers consistently describe professional crews and neat installation work. The sampled feedback emphasizes clean site handling, careful equipment placement, and attention to roof-related concerns.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crews and clean finish. Customers say the installation crew was professional and left the system up and running quickly after the work was completed. Representative review excerpt: "His crew was professional and had our system up and running after a few days of installation."

Attention to roof protection. Several reviews mention roof-leak coverage language or reassurance around installation quality, which suggests customers paid close attention to site care and roof handling. Representative review excerpt: "They warranty their install from leaks for up to 10 years which seemed to be standard but they later told me that they have NEVER had a roof leak because..."

Careful equipment placement. Reviewers note that electrical boxes and related components were installed in a tidy, less visible way. Representative review excerpt: "Care was also taken to make the solar system electrical boxes, installed next to our main electrical panel, clean looking and out of view as much as possible."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.5/10

Most reviewers describe solid system performance and satisfactory post-install support. There is one service complaint in the sample, so the overall picture is positive but with a note that post-install response times may vary.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong reported system output. Reviewers say the system performed better than expected and that production monitoring helped them understand output across different weather conditions. Representative review excerpt: "The system is performing better than expected and I would recommend Sunlectric to anyone interested in going solar."

Savings and ongoing maintenance support. Customers mention experienced savings after installation and describe the team as providing installation, service, and maintenance checks. Representative review excerpt: "We had a great experience working with Joe and Stephanie at SunLectric and have experienced significant electrical savings since having our system installed."

Service requests can take time. One reviewer reports trying to get panels serviced for more than a month, which points to a possible gap in aftercare responsiveness. Representative review excerpt: "We’ve been trying to get our panels serviced for over a month now."

Bottom line: Solar.com’s review sample shows Sunlectric earning strong marks across sales, workmanship, and system performance, with especially positive comments about professionalism and installation quality. The main caution is that a small number of reviewers describe slower service follow-up after the system is already operating, while pricing transparency is based on limited evidence and reads generally positive.

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.
