How does Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions 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 Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions 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.

Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions 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 Integrity8.0/10

Reviewers mostly describe the sales process as clear, patient, and low-pressure. Many say proposals were detailed and helpful for understanding the system and expected savings, while a small number of reviews raise concerns about an off-target sales approach.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, patient proposal process. Reviewers frequently say the team answered questions carefully and provided enough detail to make the installation and system design easier to understand. Representative review excerpt: "Despite the number of times I called, he was always patient with me and provided detailed answers that gave me a better picture of our installation and how our system..."

Low-pressure sales approach. Several reviews describe the sales experience as honest and educational rather than pushy, with proposals that were easy to review. Representative review excerpt: "No sales pressure, just honest communication."

Rare complaint about fit. A small number of reviewers say the sales discussion did not align with what they were actually looking for, which is the main complaint pattern in this category. Representative review excerpt: "I asked this company about swimming pool heating and instead got a sales pitch for something I wasn't looking for and that would save us zero dollars."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.3/10

Most reviewers describe pricing and financing discussions as straightforward, with several noting clear quotes and quick fixes when something needed to be corrected. The main watch-outs are isolated complaints about unexpected cost or value concerns, but they are uncommon relative to the praise.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear pricing discussions. Reviewers describe a recurring pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "Carlos was able to turn around a detailed quote very quickly, and when I received it, I was honestly surprised -- it was a significant amount lower than every other..."

Issues corrected promptly. When a unit mix-up happened, one reviewer says the company issued a refund and sent the crew back quickly to make it right. Representative review excerpt: "There was a mix-up with the unit (a non-Tesla version was initially installed), but Carlos made it right immediately -- issued a refund and sent Isaac back out quickly to..."

Occasional cost concerns. A small set of reviews point to dissatisfaction around pricing or perceived value, making transparency the main area with limited but real criticism. Representative review excerpt: "My neighbor went with the Livermore guys to save a few bucks and I could see (using binoculars) that all they did was smear some roof mastic under the brackets..."

Communication & coordination

Communication8.5/10

Communication is one of the strongest themes in the review set. Reviewers repeatedly describe fast responses, patient follow-up, and active project management across installation and post-install questions, with only a rare complaint about missed follow-through.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fast and responsive follow-up. Several reviewers say they heard back quickly and felt the team stayed on top of questions and coordination from the start of the process. Representative review excerpt: "I sent an email immediately, and I was blown away when they called me at 8:00 AM the very next morning."

Patient, detailed support. Reviewers often mention that the team took time to explain details clearly, even when customers called multiple times with follow-up questions. Representative review excerpt: "Despite the number of times I called, he was always patient with me and provided detailed answers that gave me a better picture of our installation and how our system..."

Rare follow-through complaint. The main criticism is an isolated report of repeated cancellations while trying to get a site issue reviewed, which stands out because it is uncommon in this category. Representative review excerpt: "We've tried to get SunRun to come out and look at the error message that's displayed, but many phone calls and promises to come look and they keep cancelling."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.7/10

Most reviewers say projects moved smoothly through installation, inspection, and activation, with several praising efficient completion and successful first-pass inspections. At the same time, there are a few reports of delays tied to permitting, review timing, or finding the right equipment, so schedule reliability is good but not flawless.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Efficient installs and inspections. Some reviewers say the installation finished quickly and passed city inspections the first time, which reflects strong project execution once work was underway. Representative review excerpt: "Efficiency: The installation was completed in just two days, and they passed city inspections on the first try."

Detailed planning for code and PTO. Reviewers also note careful planning around local requirements and a smooth path from proposal through permission to operate. Representative review excerpt: "Carlos and team were great to work with, from proposal to permission to operate."

Occasional delays in review or paperwork. The main downside is that a few reviews describe longer timelines due to inspection, paperwork, or city-review delays before activation. Representative review excerpt: "We did have a few challenges with the battery mount review process (a failed inspection due to a screw being flagged by a reviewer) and paperwork issues with PGE, but..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.7/10

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive on installation quality and site care. Customers frequently mention clean wiring, attention to detail, and professional crews, and there are no substantive complaint patterns in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean, detailed installation work. Reviewers commonly praise the crew for clean wiring, careful workmanship, and a polished finished result. Representative review excerpt: "Installation was handled by Isaac and his team, and they did a fantastic job -- clean wiring, attention to detail, and they even impressed the city inspector with some above-and-beyond..."

Professional crew and code awareness. Several reviews describe the team as knowledgeable and careful about technical requirements, including local code and system design constraints. Representative review excerpt: "He also walked me through: Proper panel selection within voltage and amperage limits Safe string configurations and series wiring How to maximize roof space while staying within code Permitting requirements..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.6/10

Post-install support is another strong area, with reviewers describing helpful follow-up, system knowledge, and responsive troubleshooting after turn-on. Most comments are positive about ongoing service and problem resolution, while only a rare review reports difficulty getting support to return calls.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong service after install. Reviewers say support remained responsive after the system was up and running, including help with questions and ongoing service needs. Representative review excerpt: "They installed our solar and battery system back in 2024, and their service remains top-tier."

Help with technical issues. Some reviews note that the team worked directly with third parties or tracked down wiring and communication issues after installation. Representative review excerpt: "A few weeks later, after a SPAN firmware update caused communication issues with the Powerwalls, Carlos worked directly with SPAN customer service behind the scenes to resolve the problem."

Rare support frustration. An isolated review describes repeated attempts to get follow-up service on an error message without success, but this is not the dominant pattern in the category. Representative review excerpt: "We've tried to get SunRun to come out and look at the error message that's displayed, but many phone calls and promises to come look and they keep cancelling."

Bottom line: SUNLIGHT ELECTRI-CAL SOLUTIONS earns a strong overall review profile, with especially high marks for workmanship, communication, and long-term support. The main areas with some caution are pricing transparency and timeline reliability, where most feedback is positive but a small number of reviewers report delays or cost-related concerns.

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.
