Latest good review thumbs up

Highly Recommend. Exceeded Expectations

Very good experience with SolarMax through the entire process to PTO. I started out with a different provider from LA that wasn't going well. My neighbor recommended SolarMax, and couldn't be more pleased. My install was more involved than most, as it included a Tesla Battery with a Gateway and Sub-panel. I live in west Ventura County, and the installers were on time, professional, and knowledgeable. Can't say enough good things about the support & staff, especially the program manager Noe Lopez. Through the process, which takes longer waiting for a battery, Noe was always straight up and consistent on what to expect, and provided good technical support. Ashley, in Utility & HOA, was always on top of things, keeping the SCE PTO on track. From my experience and that of my neighbor, SolarMax was an excellent choice. Highly recommend.

Lack of communication after installation

Everything was fine until installation. The inspection engineers missed the appointment with the city official two times in a row delaying the Permit to Operate (PTO). The sales rep never helped me setup the connectivity for monitoring and I had to figure out everything by myself. The system stopped working after two days due to faulty wiring set by the installers. So I have paid for a system that has not been working for the more than a month after PTO. Very disappointed with the experience. Cannot recommend them in the future.

Thought solar would save me money.

I called Solarmax as they were highly rated. The sales person came out looked everything over and told me I needed 15 panels. I wanted more but he said I would only be giving it to the power company. Well they put in 15 and now I am going to owe SCE and extra $250. I didn’t have a nice. Oil summer. I sweated day and night. I am really upset so not only do I owe that. I also financed the solar so that is $85 a month and will go up to $115 a month if I don’t give Them $4200 next year. So solar is costing me almost twice what my electric bill used to be. I wish I never got solar. Being a senior on a fixed income this is hard on me.

Solarmax did a fantastic job from day one!

We were completely happy with Solarmax! Dan Cooley is the best sales representative! He has answered every question we had from day one! Our electric bill went from $400 per month to $4.00 and can’t be happier!

SolarMax Tech Review

I worked with Brandon Mezzanatto at SolarMax Technology and have been thrilled with the overall service since my first phone call. Brandon was thorough in his consultation and both patient and knowledgable with my numerous follow up questions. I interviewed multiple companies and could not be more thrilled with my decision to go solar and enlist the services of Brandon and the rest of the team. The entire process from consult to activation was smooth and trouble free. At every stage members of SolarMax Technology would communicate timelines and provide updates on the project. I cannot help but compare the quality of installation to other homes in my neighborhood and I am pleased each time with the attention to detail and thoughtfulness of the SolarMax Installation team. I would not hesitate to recommend Brandon and SolarMax again and again. The system is exceeding expectations so far.

Solarmax: Great Job Brandon Mezzanatto and Team!

We've considered Solar for about 4 to 5 years now and even went as far as design stage with two other companies but were turned off with experience. After listening to the 5 Year no interest plan on the Radio, we tried again.<br />I manage my Company Sales Team and don't appreciate a hard sell. From the very beginning Brandon Mezzanatto proved we had nothing to worry about. He was far from a hard sell and simply informed us and enabled us to make a decision suit our needs. I liked that he tailored it to suit us once he understood we had previously explored Solar and knew the pros and cons. Entire Team and experience was excellent. <br /><br />Great Communication and excellent response from Brandon Mezzanatto Sales and Project Manager Joshua Progue as needed.

STILL WAITING FOR SERVICE

I am not the type of person that complains about service - but I have waited months for Solarmax to complete service and make the connection - and it seems to be stalled out without any helpful communication

SolarMax System Has Worked For Me

So far I am completely satisfied with my Solar Max system. The whole process was done very professionally and double checked all through the process. Brandon Mezzanatto came to our home and completely explained the start to finish process. As I explained to him at the time, I had already had several other solar companies over to the house and listened to them and got their quotes also. As I had explained to all of the solar reps, I had worked construction for over 30 years myself and of course was interested in a fair price, but needed to feel good about the company that would get my business. I was impressed with SolarMax and was really impressed with their Riverside facility. I just ended my 3rd complete month of being Solar Powered. I went a little over the recommended amount of panels, from what I have seen so far, I should never have an electric bill again, with the exception of the monthly minimal $12-$15 service charge. Plus I am building up credits each month that should add up to hundreds of dollars for power sold back to SCE at the end of the year. The online monitoring tells me from anywhere what my system is doing 24/7. Again I would say that SolarMax has done what they promised andI am pleased.

Nothing But The BEST

What a wonderful experience. My wife and I have been considering going solar for quite sometime and finally decided to do some research. I had heard an ad for SolarMax on KFI radio, and after another quote from a local solar company called SolarMax for a second quote. The representative Brandon Mezzanatto came to our home and went over the entire process within about an hour. As per their suggestion both my wife and I needed to be there so we both could make an informed decision on whether or not solar would work for us. Again this was our second presentation and what a difference. Not only was the price substantially less but Brandon Mezzanatto,s presentation and information was stellar in it's completeness, and to the level as to where my wife and I could easily understand the savings and process of installation and financing. He also helped us understand that if or when we go to sell out home that we needed to find a real estate agent versed in selling a property with solar. Through out the entire process (aprox. 3 weeks) from agreeing and signing paperwork we were producing our own energy (amazing). In the first 3 months with our air conditioner running at 76 degrees 24/7 with 4 TV,s 3 refrigerators / freezers and ceiling fans our energy towards our yearly bill was $7.47. My wife who pays all the bills thanks me weekly for going solar. Being able to run the air comfortably and not have to worry about the previous year of $300 to $700 summer electric bills. Lastly our consultant Brandon Mezzanatto was amazing through out the entire process during and after. Every time I called he answered his cell phone every time and had my answers immediately. All rebates also came in a timely fashion. I HIGHLY recommend Brandon Mezzanatto and SolarMax for your solar. Best thing we have ever done for our finances and renewable energy. <br />Sincerely Timothy and Lisa Shirk

Service excellence

From start to finish the process was painless and straight forward. When you compare what Solar Max has to offer versus what else is available in the market, very few even come close to what guarantees and product are given. <br /><br />The panels are made in the U.S. by Solar Max. It makes for easy service if by some remote chance you do need it. We had others pitch their products and service. If you're looking for the honesty and fast high quality product and workmanship, so with Solar Max
