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

How does Vasco Solar 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 Vasco Solar 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.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.6/10

Clear explanations. Many reviewers say the sales process was easy to understand, with expectations laid out clearly before work began. Representative review excerpt: "Everything was clearly explained, the installation was smooth and on schedule, and communication throughout the process was outstanding."

Representative review excerpt: "They came to give us a quote and we were able to schedule the install within a week of asking them to move forward with the project."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency7.1/10

Most reviewers describe billing and pricing as fair, reasonable, or matching the quoted amount. A smaller number report concerns about service-call pricing, payment timing, or other cost-related expectations.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Fair billing. Reviewers commonly describe the billing as reasonable and say the final charge matched what they expected. Representative review excerpt: "They are also very reasonable and fair with the billing."

Quoted pricing held. Some customers say the company charged exactly what was quoted and kept pricing straightforward through the job. Representative review excerpt: "The company was very communicative, arrived on time, repaired another vendors system, and charged exactly what was quoted."

Cost concerns on service work. A few reviewers report feeling that a service call or other charged work was not priced the way they expected, which left them comparing value after the fact. Representative review excerpt: "I gave up and called another solar company who came out, did a full inspection of my entire system for the same cost Vasco charged for a service call."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.4/10

Reviewers frequently describe fast replies, clear explanations, and good coordination through scheduling and installation. Complaints are less common, but some reviews mention missed callbacks, delays in communication, or no-shows.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability8.0/10

The main complaints are about late arrivals or missed timing windows rather than broad project delays.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-time installs. Reviewers often say the crew arrived on time and completed the work within the expected window. Representative review excerpt: "The installers were right on time."

Fast scheduling. Some customers report getting on the schedule quickly after approving the project, sometimes within a week. Representative review excerpt: "They came to give us a quote and we were able to schedule the install within a week of asking them to move forward with the project."

Late arrival watch-out. A small number of reviews mention late arrivals or timing that slipped beyond the window that had been given. Representative review excerpt: "The second time they were later than the time window I had been given so I called and was told the owner was coming so I felt ok leaving the..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.7/10

This is one of the strongest categories in the review set. Reviewers frequently praise professional crews, careful work, and solid cleanup or site protection, while only a few mention damage, repeated repairs, or service follow-up concerns.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Professional crews. Reviewers commonly describe the installers as knowledgeable, friendly, and professional during the job. Representative review excerpt: "The team were very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything to me on the installation and how to work my system."

Careful installation and cleanup. Some customers highlight thoughtful site protection and efficient removal or reinstallation work while other projects were happening.

Repair and follow-up issues. A small number of reviews describe repeat service needs or unresolved repair concerns after earlier work. Representative review excerpt: "I have made service appointments with them to repair leaking panels multiple times in the past and they are no-shows with no calls."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.5/10

Post-install reviews are mostly positive, with customers describing helpful follow-up, monitoring support, and willingness to troubleshoot after the initial job. A smaller set of reviews reports ongoing performance problems or frustration getting issues resolved.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful post-install support. Reviewers say the team responded to monitoring questions and was willing to come back and check system performance after the install. Representative review excerpt: "In addition, today i called them about my Solar Edge monitoring not working, unrelated to the prior work, and Bryce offered to come over right away and check it out."

Troubleshooting after the job. Some customers report that the company spent time repairing issues and making sure the system was functioning properly. Representative review excerpt: "He was able to repair multiple issues on our solar panels and also inspected & adjusted the hardware on the rest of the system to ensure it was functioning properly..."

Ongoing performance concerns. A few reviews mention systems that kept having problems or support that did not resolve the issue as expected. Representative review excerpt: "The problem was that less than a month later my panels and the converter stopped responding again I had a problem with the system again."

Bottom line: Across 366 substantive reviews, VASCO SOLAR’s profile is strongest in workmanship, post-install support, and timeline reliability, while sales, pricing, and coordination are still generally positive but show some recurring complaints. The overall Solar.com installer score is 8.5/10, and the review pattern suggests a company with mostly favorable experiences plus a handful of reliability and follow-through issues.

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.
