How does Sunrise805 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 Sunrise805 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.

Sunrise805 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 Integrity7.1/10

Reviewers describe Sunrise805 as clear and reasonable in the sales process, with proposals that set expectations well and in some cases helped customers identify the right components. Across the available reviews, praise is consistent and there are no documented complaint patterns in this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear proposals. Reviewers say the company explained the project clearly and helped set practical expectations around the work and equipment involved. Representative review excerpt: "They provided a reasonable cost, installed within a day, and walked us through the app, working with Southern CA Edison, and set up our batteries to keep us "off-grid" as..."

Helpful component guidance. Customers report that the team made sure they had suitable components and worked with suppliers to support pricing and product selection. Representative review excerpt: "They were responsive at every stage of the process, made sure we had all the best components and worked with their suppliers to get us the best prices."

Review-based inspection support. One reviewer describes the team as willing to inspect work done by others and provide notes on issues or discrepancies, which suggests a hands-on approach to proposal follow-through. Representative review excerpt: "Even though the install was not their own they were still happy to come by and inspect, give feed back plus notes on issues or other discrepancies."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.8/10

Reviewers generally describe pricing as fair and billing as straightforward. A few mention coming in under estimate or finding the process easy to understand, and there are no recorded complaints in the analyzed reviews for this category.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Reasonable pricing. Customers say the pricing felt fair for the scope of work, and one review notes the final cost came in under the estimate. Representative review excerpt: "They charged a reasonable price to do all the work, and came in a little under the estimate."

Clear billing. Reviewers describe the billing as easy to understand and say the company was transparent about charges. Representative review excerpt: "These guys are smart, skilled and clear about their billing."

Cost context. Another reviewer characterizes the cost as reasonable and ties that to a smooth overall experience with the project. Representative review excerpt: "They provided a reasonable cost, installed within a day, and walked us through the app, working with Southern CA Edison, and set up our batteries to keep us "off-grid" as..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.4/10

Most reviewers describe strong responsiveness and organized coordination across bidding, permits, HOA communication, and project handoffs. There is one complaint about follow-up, but the overall pattern in the analyzed reviews is positive.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Organized project management. Reviewers say the project stayed on track from bidding through installation and inspection, with multiple moving parts handled in sequence. Representative review excerpt: "The project ran smoothy from start to finish: from the bidding process, to coordinating with the roofer installing a new roof, to installation of the panels and battery, to inspection..."

Permit and HOA coordination. Customers report the team handled sketches, HOA communication, and permits while keeping status updates clear. Representative review excerpt: "They were fantastic at handling all the sketches, talked to my HOA board, managed the permits and were excellent at communicating status and next steps."

Follow-up concern. One reviewer reports repeated follow-up calls and ongoing promises to respond, which points to an isolated communication lapse in the dataset. Representative review excerpt: "I called to follow-up several times with many excuses and more promises to get back to me."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.2/10

Reviewers commonly report that projects moved smoothly through permitting, inspection, and utility-related steps. The available feedback is strongly positive overall, with customers describing timely completion and steady progress rather than delays.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Smooth end-to-end timing. Reviewers say the work moved smoothly from the bidding stage through installation and inspection, suggesting reliable scheduling. Representative review excerpt: "The project ran smoothy from start to finish: from the bidding process, to coordinating with the roofer installing a new roof, to installation of the panels and battery, to inspection..."

Permitting handled for the customer. Customers report that the team managed permits and related board approvals, which helped keep the timeline moving. Representative review excerpt: "They even did all the permitting and got me the specs for my HOA board to approve."

Activation and support flow. One reviewer describes the city permits, installation, inspection, and post-turn-on support as part of a clean process from start to finish. Representative review excerpt: "the permits with the city, the installation, the inspection, and even supporting us now that we are producing our own energy."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.5/10

The workmanship feedback is consistently favorable, with reviewers describing professional crews, good attention to detail, and solid quality work. The reviewed comments do not surface a meaningful complaint pattern about cleanup, damage, or installation quality.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional installers. Reviewers describe the installation crew as professional and detail-oriented, with strong execution on the job. Representative review excerpt: "Jonathan and his team of installers were extremely professional, keen on details and did great quality work."

Quality of work. Customers report that the work quality was strong across panel, battery, and related installation tasks. Representative review excerpt: "These guys had come out to the house to do a panel upgrade and battery backup for our house and were phenomenal!"

Smooth installation experience. One review describes the overall project as smooth from start to finish, including the installation phase and inspection handoff. Representative review excerpt: "The project ran smoothy from start to finish: from the bidding process, to coordinating with the roofer installing a new roof, to installation of the panels and battery, to inspection..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.6/10

Reviewers most often describe strong post-install support, including help with app setup, monitoring, and ongoing assistance after the system was energized. The analyzed reviews are consistently positive in this category, with no recorded complaints in the sample.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Post-install support. Customers say the company continued supporting them after activation, including help with producing their own energy. Representative review excerpt: "the permits with the city, the installation, the inspection, and even supporting us now that we are producing our own energy."

System setup and monitoring. Reviewers mention guidance on app use and battery setup, which suggests hands-on support after installation. Representative review excerpt: "They provided a reasonable cost, installed within a day, and walked us through the app, working with Southern CA Edison, and set up our batteries to keep us "off-grid" as..."

Reliable performance results. One reviewer describes a commercial off-grid project as successfully delivered on a short timeline, reflecting confidence in system performance and delivery. Representative review excerpt: "We had a unique commercial off grid project to complete in a short time period and Sunrise805 delivered a great system."

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.
