How does Synergy Solar & Electrical Systems 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 Synergy Solar & Electrical Systems 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.

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 Integrity7.8/10

Reviewers most often describe the sales process as clear, knowledgeable, and low-pressure. The evidence here is entirely positive, with customers saying proposals were well explained and expectations were handled transparently from the outset.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear proposal guidance. Reviewers say the team answered questions thoroughly and presented proposals they could understand. Several mention that the company helped define the right system approach before work began. Representative review excerpt: "They answered all of my questions and provided a competitive proposal."

Knowledgeable planning. Reviewers describe the owners as knowledgeable and honest, with guidance that helped shape solution design and contract expectations. One reviewer said the team caught details that might otherwise have led to later changes. Representative review excerpt: "The owners were very knowledgeable, honest, reliable, responsive, and they have treated me very well in all phases of the process from recommending the best solution for me to installation..."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.0/10

This category is positive overall, though there are only a handful of reviews to draw from. Reviewers say pricing, rebates, and expected returns were explained clearly, and they describe the final agreement as matching what they expected.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Up-front cost clarity. Reviewers say they knew what they were getting from the estimate stage and understood the pricing details before signing. One customer described the agreed price as holding through installation. Representative review excerpt: "From the initial estimates I knew EXACTLY what I was getting, what the rebates were worth, my return on investment for energy sold back to PG&E."

Rebate and return explanation. Reviewers report that the company explained rebate timing and return expectations in advance. That kind of detail seems to have helped set realistic expectations around the total project cost. Representative review excerpt: "I think I got that, from the design of the panel array and Battery Storage system to the on time installation for the agreed price to post installation support."

Communication & coordination

Communication8.1/10

Most reviewers describe strong communication, helpful handoffs, and steady project ownership. A small number of complaints mention difficulty getting responses after problems arose, but the overall pattern is still distinctly positive.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive during the project. Reviewers frequently say the team was responsive, reliable, and kept commitments. They describe regular updates and smooth coordination through the project stages. Representative review excerpt: "They were great at communicating and very reliable in meeting their commitments and adhering to timing."

Permitting and utility coordination. Reviewers report that the company handled permitting and utility communications for them, reducing the amount of coordination they had to manage themselves. That support is part of the strong communication pattern seen in the reviews. Representative review excerpt: "They handled all the permitting and communications with PGE."

Post-install response concerns. A few reviewers say they had trouble getting callbacks or email responses after issues came up. These comments are limited, but they do point to occasional support gaps once the job was already complete. Representative review excerpt: "I have been calling, emailing for weeks and have received no response."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.6/10

Reviewers generally say the company stayed on schedule, managed permits, and got systems activated without major delay. The review set does not show a strong pattern of timeline complaints, so this category reads positive overall.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Schedule adherence. Reviewers say the team was true to the timeline and met commitments during installation. Several also mention the work being completed on time or even ahead of schedule. Representative review excerpt: "Their pricing is competitive, and the expert crew knew what they were doing, were true to the project timeline, quiet, careful, and efficient."

Permitting and activation support. Reviewers report that the company handled permitting and utility communication, which helped move projects through activation. Some mention extra effort to keep systems on track when timing was tight. Representative review excerpt: "They handled all the permitting and communications with PGE."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.5/10

Workmanship is one of the strongest areas in the review corpus. Reviewers frequently describe clean installs, professional crews, careful work, and good troubleshooting when unexpected site issues came up.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean, careful installation. Reviewers say the crew was quiet, careful, efficient, and professional on site. They also describe the finished installation as well designed and clean. Representative review excerpt: "Their pricing is competitive, and the expert crew knew what they were doing, were true to the project timeline, quiet, careful, and efficient."

Troubleshooting and professionalism. Reviewers report that installers handled unexpected wiring issues and other complications with a good attitude. That suggests the crew was able to adapt without losing focus on quality. Representative review excerpt: "Justin, Peter, Raven and Andrew did a great job with a great attitude, stepping up to troubleshoot some unexpected problems with our internal house wiring."

On-site timing effort. Some reviewers mention the staff worked hard to keep the install on schedule while remaining professional. These comments reinforce the broader pattern of solid site management. Representative review excerpt: "Justin, Peter and the rest of the staff, all of them friendly and professional, did a few back-flips for us to get the system in on time, and the whole..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.5/10

This is the strongest-scoring category, and the reviews are consistently positive. Reviewers say systems, batteries, and monitoring are performing as expected, and they also describe helpful support after installation.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Systems working as expected. Reviewers say their systems were working properly after installation and that issues were resolved promptly when support was needed. Several describe being pleased with the results over time. Representative review excerpt: "Even though it wasn't a very profitable job, he figured out what needed to be done, had the work completed promptly, and now my system is working perfectly."

Battery and monitoring performance. Reviewers report that battery storage is doing what it should and that monitoring tools provide useful real-time visibility into production and usage. These comments suggest strong post-install functionality. Representative review excerpt: "The battery system is doing exactly what it is supposed to do, store the excess solar each day and feed it back to the home during peak hours."

Ongoing satisfaction. Reviewers describe being extremely pleased with the system months after installation and continuing to monitor output successfully. The review set does not show a meaningful complaint pattern in this area. Representative review excerpt: "The Enlighten Enphase software, downloaded on my iPhone and iPad, allows for system monitoring in real time, including energy produced, imported from the grid, and grid dependence."

Bottom line: Across 103 substantive reviews, SYNERGY SOLAR & ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS earns a strong overall profile, with especially high marks for workmanship and long-term system performance. The main watch-out is communication after issues arise, where a small number of reviewers describe difficulty getting callbacks or email responses, while most other categories read clearly 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.
