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

How does Sunrise Energy 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 Sunrise Energy 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.

Sunrise Energy 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 Integrity7.4/10

Reviewers generally describe the sales experience as clear and straightforward, with many saying proposals were reasonable and the company did not pressure them into unnecessary add-ons. Complaints are limited but include a small number of customers who reported disappointing savings or felt misled by expectations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure proposals. Most reviewers say the sales process felt informative and easy to understand, with staff explaining options and expectations without pushing hard. Several comments also mention confidence in the recommended scope and contract setup. Representative review excerpt: "He let me know to consider a potential part replacement for next summer (and what indicated that it might be needed), but that my unit is doing great."

Reasonable value compared with initial quotes. A number of customers describe the pricing discussion as a relief, saying Sunrise Energy Solutions offered a more workable path than the first quote they had received. These reviews frame the proposal as practical and not inflated. Representative review excerpt: "This was a huge relief as I had been quoted 40k by a big corporate company not 10 min after he arrived at my house."

Isolated concerns about savings results. A small set of reviewers reported that the system did not deliver the savings they expected, which created dissatisfaction after the sale. Those comments are not the majority, but they do show that projected outcomes were not always met in practice. Representative review excerpt: "I purchased a solar system with 14 panels and I routinely see SDGE bills over $200 per month."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.0/10

The main complaints involve communication around paperwork, follow-through on funding-related issues, and a few cases where reviewers felt left waiting after financing was involved.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Pricing pricing feedback. These comments suggest customers often felt the final value made sense relative to the service delivered. Representative review excerpt: "Needless to say, I got a new inverter at a competitive price, and their installer, Rick, was a great guy."

No surprise overcharging for many customers. Some reviewers specifically say they did not feel overcharged and appreciated straightforward billing. Others mention that the monthly bill or project cost met expectations after installation. Representative review excerpt: "They don’t overcharge me and they don’t recommend things that I don’t need."

Paperwork and funding delays. A few customers report delays around emailed documents, funding clarity, or getting finance-related follow-up completed. These complaints point to occasional gaps in administrative transparency rather than a broad pattern of pricing confusion. Representative review excerpt: "They installed a used thermostat which had to be replaced (this took months of calling to get done) Once the funding was clear they forgot about who I was."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.4/10

Most reviewers describe the team as responsive, organized, and easy to reach, especially when help was needed after the initial job. A smaller group reported frustrating gaps in follow-up, including repeated calls, delayed replies, or situations where they felt the issue was not being actively managed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive and attentive service. Many customers say the company responded quickly and kept them informed enough to move projects forward. Several reviews describe staff who were easy to reach and willing to coordinate promptly when needs came up. Representative review excerpt: "I am so impressed with how quickly they responded to my need."

Helpful project ownership. Reviewers often mention a sense of personal follow-through, including staff who remembered prior records or made quick arrangements for service visits. That pattern suggests a generally hands-on approach to coordination. Representative review excerpt: "When I described my system and mentioned the former company name, Holly immediately responded and found my name in her records."

Some frustrating follow-up gaps. A few reviews describe long phone calls, scripted reassurances, or a lack of clear next steps after an issue was reported. These comments indicate that communication was not equally strong across every service interaction. Representative review excerpt: "I have wasted hours on the phone, spoke to numerous individuals who responded with scripted assurances that my problem would be addressed."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.8/10

Timeline feedback is more uneven than the other categories. Some reviewers say the team was prompt and patient when scheduling was complicated, while others describe delays tied to follow-up visits, service completion, or getting the next step scheduled.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Prompt when timing was complex. Several reviewers say the company handled scheduling challenges well and showed patience when other contractors or outside timing issues affected the job. These comments suggest the team could adapt when the project was not straightforward. Representative review excerpt: "Our house was complicated with the needs and timing delays of other subcontractors but Holli was patient and prompt when we needed their crews onsite."

On-time and professional visits. Some customers describe visits that happened when expected and were handled efficiently. In those cases, the timeline felt orderly and the work moved without obvious delay. Representative review excerpt: "They were extremely professional, prompt on follow up, and gave me the best quote for replacing my HVAC system."

Delays on follow-up service. A smaller set of reviewers report waiting for safety checks or repair follow-through longer than they expected. These complaints make timeline reliability a noticeable watch-out, even though they are not the dominant pattern. Representative review excerpt: "Two weeks later, when someone finally came out to do the safety assurance check, I learned that it was never fixed, and once again, I would have to set up..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.8/10

Reviewers are mostly positive about installation quality, professionalism, and jobsite care. The complaint pattern is limited but includes a few reports of unresolved issues or service work that did not get completed as expected.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional, careful crews. Many reviewers say installers were polite, competent, and respectful in the home. Some specifically mention careful cleanup habits and small details that made the work feel professional. Representative review excerpt: "Always friendly and conscientious about wearing shoe covers."

Good results after installation or maintenance. Several customers report that the system worked well after the work was done, and some note visible improvements after service or cleaning. These reviews support a generally favorable view of workmanship. Representative review excerpt: "It has been almost a year since install and the tenant reports that the system works great with zero issues."

A few unresolved workmanship complaints. A small number of reviewers describe work that did not get fully finished or issues that came back during later checks. Those cases suggest that site follow-through was not flawless across every job. Representative review excerpt: "Two weeks later, when someone finally came out to do the safety assurance check, I learned that it was never fixed, and once again, I would have to set up..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.5/10

Post-install feedback is generally positive, with many reviewers saying systems performed well and service visits were helpful when problems came up. At the same time, there are several complaints about repair follow-through, reporting, and support quality after the system was already in place.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Systems often reported as working well. Many reviewers say their system continued performing as expected after installation, including cases where production looked strong over time. These comments suggest generally solid post-install outcomes for a sizable share of customers. Representative review excerpt: "It has been almost a year since install and the tenant reports that the system works great with zero issues."

Helpful diagnostics and service response. Some customers say the company sent a technician quickly and took the time to diagnose the issue carefully. That kind of follow-through appears frequently enough to be a meaningful strength in the long-term support category. Representative review excerpt: "The owner did not hesitate to send over a technician to address and diagnose the problem."

Support gaps after service calls. A smaller group reports missing reports, slow repair follow-up, or dissatisfaction with post-install support. These complaints suggest that the service experience after turnover can be inconsistent. Representative review excerpt: "Never received the repair report one week after service call."

Bottom line: Solar.com’s review set for SUNRISE ENERGY SOLUTIONS is mostly positive, with stronger marks for workmanship, sales clarity, and ongoing support than for scheduling reliability and post-service follow-up. Complaint volume is relatively limited in most categories, but reviewers do raise recurring watch-outs around timeline delays, admin follow-through, and occasional gaps in long-term support.

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.
