How does Suntrek Industries 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 Suntrek Industries 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.

Suntrek Industries 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 most often describe the sales process as clear, honest, and non-pushy, with several saying staff steered them away from unnecessary work or answered questions thoroughly. The main complaints focus on proposal accuracy, delayed quotes, and expectations that did not match later repair or savings-related outcomes.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear and trustworthy sales approach. Many reviewers say the sales team communicated clearly and earned trust by being straightforward about what was needed. Some also report being advised not to buy more than they needed. Representative review excerpt: "Their top notch communication, expertise and honesty were outstanding and earned our trust and their business!"

Sales guidance that avoided overselling. A representative set of reviews says staff showed integrity during the sales process and did not pressure customers into extra equipment. These comments frame the proposal stage as helpful rather than high-pressure. Representative review excerpt: "I was ready to buy more panels from Suntrek Solar , but the technician had the integrity to advise me that I don't need to ."

Proposal and expectation gaps. Some reviewers report delayed quotes, unclear contract details, or later disagreements about what was covered. Others say savings or repair expectations set early in the process did not match what happened later. Representative review excerpt: "I kept getting told I would be receiving a quote, I got an EMAIL in ALL CAPS after asking for my quote for almost a month after the initial walk..."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency5.7/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is mixed, with some reviewers saying the quoted cost matched what they paid and that the service was fairly priced. Complaints are material here and center on surprise costs, added fees, refund or invoice disputes, and confusion around incentive timing or financing-related barriers.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Unexpected charges and cost disputes. Other reviewers report being surprised by added annual costs, higher-than-expected follow-up charges, or disagreements over what it would take to fix a problem. Some also describe financing or repair-related barriers that changed the economics after the initial sale. Representative review excerpt: "However, now the company is saying that to prevent further leaks we need to pay $700 annually for them or someone else to drain the system before the summer and..."

Quoted pricing sometimes matched. Some reviewers say the final cost lined up with the quote and felt fair for the work performed. A few also describe price and service as strong overall. Representative review excerpt: "The cost was exactly as predicted in the quote and they have been great about monitoring the system and making sure it's preforming properly."

Value and invoice experience. A set of positive comments says the company was timely and that the service-price combination felt strong. These reviews suggest some customers experienced straightforward billing. Representative review excerpt: "I did my due diligence and I have to say overall service and price cannot be beat."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.0/10

Most reviewers describe the team as responsive, organized, and easy to reach during the project. The main criticism is that a smaller set of customers experienced delayed quotes, missed cancellations, or communication breakdowns that made coordination harder than expected.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive project support. Many reviewers say staff answered questions quickly and stayed responsive even outside normal hours. These comments portray the team as accessible once work was underway. Representative review excerpt: "Ethan was very responsive to any issues or questions we had- even taking time after hours or on the weekend to respond."

Clear coordination during the job. Some customers report that the crew communicated well, worked through obstacles, and kept the job moving. These reviews emphasize dependable handoffs and project ownership. Representative review excerpt: "They showed up when they said they would be there, communicated well, worked hard, strategized with me when obstacles came up and did a professional job."

Communication lapses and missed updates. A smaller group says they experienced repeated scheduling changes, slow quote turnaround, or other communication issues. In these accounts, customers had to push for updates or corrections. Representative review excerpt: "expected this to be a straightforward install but they canccled on me three times without any warning."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.8/10

Timeline feedback leans positive, with many reviewers saying work began on time and finished as promised. Still, a meaningful minority report permit delays, repeated cancellations, or slower-than-expected activation and inspection follow-through.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-time starts and completion. Several reviewers say the team showed up when promised and completed work within the expected schedule. These comments suggest solid execution on straightforward jobs. Representative review excerpt: "They were able to provide a quote quickly, they provided the information that our HOA required for permitting, and then showed up on time and completed the project as quoted."

Smooth coordination around setup. Some customers describe the process as simple and well coordinated, including permit-related paperwork and reinstallation work. These reviews point to dependable scheduling when the project stays on track. Representative review excerpt: "Suntrek removed solar panels (74), installed years ago by Suntrek, to prepare for a new tile roof, then reinstalled the panels on the new roof, in seamless coordination with the..."

Delays in permits or inspections. Other reviewers report permit backlogs, cancellations without warning, or longer-than-promised project timelines. In some cases, they say progress updates were difficult to get during the delay. Representative review excerpt: "Installation took about 6 months instead of the 12 weeks we were promised, and throughout the process it was challenging to get reliable progress updates."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship7.8/10

Reviewers largely praise the installation crew for professional conduct, careful work, and good cleanup. Complaints do appear, but they are less common and focus on roof or property damage, sloppy appearance, or follow-up fixes after installation.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional, careful installation. Many reviewers say the crew was professional, took time to explain the work, and handled the installation neatly. Some also mention the team working around roof features and existing equipment well. Representative review excerpt: "The crew was very professional, the work was meticulously done , integrated with the system I had in place and they took the time to show me, explain me every..."

Respectful jobsite behavior. Customers often describe the installers as quick, communicative, and attentive to specific placement or site needs. These comments reflect a generally positive experience with site care. Representative review excerpt: "They let me know what they were going to do - they checked where I wanted the panels and if I had any specific needs - they were quick and..."

Damage and cleanup issues. A smaller set of reviews reports broken tiles, roof mess, or other work-related damage that needed follow-up. In those cases, customers say the company eventually addressed the issue, but only after it was raised. Representative review excerpt: "Only problem was some broken tiles and a mess left on the roof by the installers but Ethan addressed it and make it right."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.9/10

Long-term support and system performance are a relative strength in the review set. Many customers report the system working well after installation, along with helpful monitoring or follow-up service, though a notable minority describe post-install problems, service friction, or maintenance-related concerns.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Systems working well after installation. Several reviewers say their system kept performing well months or even years later. These comments suggest stable operation for many post-install customers. Representative review excerpt: "2 summers later and the system is still working great."

Helpful monitoring and follow-up. Some customers report that staff continued to monitor performance and helped keep the system operating properly. Others say the team responded quickly when they had questions or concerns after the job. Representative review excerpt: "My initial email went to Garrett, who came out to the property quickly, walked me through the whole process, and patiently answered all of my questions and concerns."

Post-install problems and service friction. Other reviewers describe equipment issues, maintenance needs, or service responses that they felt were not handled smoothly. These accounts include reports of system degradation, leaks, or downtime after the initial installation. Representative review excerpt: "However, now the company is saying that to prevent further leaks we need to pay $700 annually for them or someone else to drain the system before the summer and..."

Bottom line: SUNTREK INDUSTRIES’ review profile is strongest on workmanship and long-term performance, with many reviewers describing professional crews and systems that keep working well after install. The softer spots are pricing transparency and some post-sale support, where reviewers report surprise costs, delayed follow-through, or maintenance-related disputes. Overall, the feedback suggests a generally positive experience with a few recurring complaint patterns around billing, timelines, and service after turn-on.

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.
