Great solar installer!

Ameco Solar was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the process was clear and consistent, keeping us informed every step of the way. They stayed on top of everything, ensuring our solar panels were installed and running smoothly without any delays or issues. Highly recommend their team for anyone considering solar installation!

Significant challenges in getting the project to completion

I'm struggling to rate this company, as our solar system is now installed and working, and the final cost was reasonable. For that, they deserve a star. However, the journey to get there was quite possibly the worst service experience I have ever endured, stretching out over a grueling eight months. While some project delays are expected with complex installations, the profound lack of proactive communication and the constant deflection of blame onto others (rather than a focus on solutions) was incredibly painful and time-consuming. Let me provide a few examples that illustrate our extreme frustration: - Disregard for Design & Failed Inspection: The initial battery wall installation did not comply with the approved designs. As an engineer, I know how to read plans, and I immediately raised concerns to both the installation crew and the company. My concerns were summarily dismissed with a reminder that "we are the experts." Unsurprisingly, we failed our first inspection due to this non-compliance, costing us a full month in re-inspection scheduling delays. - Unacceptable timing for AC Disconnection: We were initially told to expect 5-7 days of AC disconnection to accommodate the inspection schedule. This "short" period dragged on for over four months due to inspection delays. While I understand inspection scheduling is outside their direct control, the sheer lack of updates was infuriating. We had to call, text, or email every week to get any information. At the final step, we personally communicated directly with the power company, which finally resulted in some forward momentum. Living in a hot climate, a non-operational AC for such an extended period was not merely an inconvenience, but a significant hardship. - Battle for Battery Removal & Harassment: After a crew arrived unannounced to replace a non-operational solar battery (a situation that was not coordinated and disrupted our personal plans), they simply left the old, non-operational ~300lb battery in our yard, stating that pickup "would get scheduled." This was equipment we had no means to move, let alone dispose of. When a pickup was finally scheduled, and after I took a day off work (because someone needed to be home to meet the freight team for pickup, and the company was unwilling to coordinate the pickup themselves), the freight company refused to take the battery. Their reason: it was too heavy and left in our backyard, not near the front of the house. We then battled for weeks to get any response on a re-schedule, all while our long-planned vacation approached. Subsequently, we were relentlessly pestered via text while on vacation, demanding we "immediately" deal with final payment and battery pickup, despite being in a situation that was entirely their responsibility. These are just a few of the many instances that compounded our frustration. What began as a genuinely positive experience (three months ago, I would have enthusiastically given five stars!) steadily deteriorated as the project wore on. Communication became progressively worse, to the point where the only time we could elicit a response was when they were demanding a payment. Even then, those communications were dismissive, unhelpful, and consistently focused on placing blame on everyone but themselves. This company desperately needs to re-evaluate its customer service and project management processes.

A fine new roof

Max Sigua has been my very capable and attentive project lead. The price for the project is fair. The end results are a professionally done roof. Max chose capable roofers and a capable solar panel installer to complete my project. I already have solar. So in this project it was remove the panels then replace the roof and the. Reinstall the solar. It’s a beautiful roof now! It’s also a very cool (temp) roof. I expect big things of this energy saving roof! Attached are pics of the roof. I highly recommend AMECO. Max Sigua communicates with me all the way through the project.

Sherwin | Alhambra, CA | 07/31/2024

Incompetent

Incompetent is too nice a word to describe Ameco. They delayed my project by weeks because their surveyor could not get the correct measurements the TWO times he came. I had to finish the measurements my self to not delay the project further. They then decided not to follow their own plan when installing the panels which caused inspection to fail and having to resubmit plans again causing another delay.

Raymond K. | Oakland, CA | 07/03/2024

We had a new solar panel system installed on our house and we were lucky enough to get it under the NEM 2.0 program thanks to Ameco's help. I started applying a little before the deadline and they were very quick in approving and getting the application started with PG&E. The whole project was painless from start to finish with the exception of how long it took for us to turn on the entire system, but that was not due to Ameco's fault or failure. The delay was all on PG&E. During the process, Jaqueline F. was great at keeping us updated on the progress of the system. She responded to my questions in a prompt manner during the entire process. Once our system was installed, Ophir B spent a considerable amount of time going over the Enphase application that we use to track our system's production and the emergency shutoff procedures as well as answering all the questions that I had, which were many. Ophir was not only professional but friendly and courteous as well. I am very happy with the system and the service that we received from everyone at Ameco!

Project savior

This company salvaged our solar project. We started out with another company that was matched to us by Electrum(SCE marketplace) but was forced to cancel that contract because of lack of progress. The silver lining to our situation is being connected to Ameco who immediately picked up our project. We have zero complaints w Ameco. We couldnt have asked for a better project manager than Evelyn Ramon. She was on top of everything and communication with her was awesome. It took a few more months before we got our application approved, but after that installation was smooth sailing. The installation team Daniel and Morgan got everything lined up. The installation crew led by Levon was very professional, working late hours to finish the project. Unsurprisingly, we passed inspection without a glitch and now our solar is up and running. Thank you so much Ameco!

Emily L | Castro Valley, CA | 02/27/2024

I recently had a wonderful experience with Ameco Solar and am so happy I chose them for my solar project. The entire process was great from beginning to end. First, their salesman, Tash, gave us a very detailed and transparent quote, which made us comfortable working with them from the start. Their price is quite reasonable. The communication with Tash and Emili was easy, and they were always very responsive to my questions over email, phone, and Team Meetings. Second, the installation team was clearly very experienced and worked efficiently to get the job done. The entire project with Ameco Solar was very smooth, with each step following the other without any delays.

Tony | Paramount, CA | 02/11/2024

Have a amazing experience with this company! Customer service was top-notch, product exceeded my expectations.I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality solar panels and excellent service. I couldn't be more happier with the results and how hard they work. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

David Blaustein | Tarzana, CA | 10/11/2023

Great company

Highly recommended. Easy to work with super professional and competitive price.

R Gray | Mission Viejo, CA | 10/10/2023

Buyer beware - Don't buy from Ameco

We are seven weeks into our solar installation and we're tired of being told 'we're on schedule" when we never were told what the schedule was. Our roof had the tile removed on August 22nd and the Amerco representative said we'd be inspected in a day or two and then the electrical work would be done. Tomorrow will be seven weeks with tiles sitting on our roof. Communication is nearly impossible to reach the office or the so called "project manager" as no one is ever available when you call the home office. We had to have one project manager removed from the project after we got lied to. The inspector from Southern California Edison showed up one with paperwork showing the Ameco had requested that day for the electrical work to be inspected and the work hadn't even been started. It took several days of inspectors coming out from the City Building Department for the electrical work to finally be approved. A competitor started last Monday and finished the whole installation on Thursday with all of the inspections approved. We sadly picked the wrong company to do our installation.

John B | Altadena, CA | 07/25/2023

Great company to work with

AMECO delivers on what they promised. Very satisfied from initial planning, design, installation and start up. They took care of all inspection issues, and tie in to SCE. Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend them yo others.

Job pretty much done but frustrating process

I'm in the home stretch of getting a full roof replacement and new solar system installed in a single family home in CA. AMECO has been ok. I was hoping for a better experience, but the communication side of the experience with AMECO has been very frustrating. Gus, who was my first contact, was great. Super easy to schedule with. Very clear and answered all my questions. Very patient as well as I had to put the project on hold for a few months. But he picked things up right where we left off a few months later when I was ready to move forward. He explained how they work and highlighted how efficient and communication is one of their strengths. Efficient is accurate. The roofing sub and solar install sub teams were fast and seem to have done solid work. My biggest frustration and reason for the 3 starts is communication. This is not their strong suit to say the least. My project manager for the roofing section has been incredibly frustrating to work with. While he would reach out when items or decisions were needed, he would frequently leave out important information or just not answer my question. Not a big deal until we found out that we need a full redecking of our room. The cost quoted was significantly higher than our original contract which include a price/plywood sheet. Our PM explained that this is because our contract was speaking only about a few sheets being replaced... not a complete redecking. I let him know this is a bit disappointing but I understood as the total price still remained fair. He later texted me and offered to upgrade our plywood to a higher quality, thicker type of plywood to "keep our customers happy". I didn't ask for this and definitely didn't expect it. But I was appreciated the gesture greatly. I really lost trust in his word and abilities the next morning when the supplies delivered where the minimum thickness plywood and OSB. Not only did we not get the upgraded plywood, more than half the roof was being redecked with OSB (not per contract or my expectations). I immediately reached out to my project manager and he said he would get back to me. It wasn't until later that afternoon after they had finished the redecking that he confirmed it was not in fact the plywood we had agreed upon. I guess I shouldn't have let them do the work, but I am not a contractor and was confident that I knew what plywood vs OSB meant (I only learned later when my husband explained it to me). Also impending rain scheduled for later that evening left me feeling like I had no choice. Solar install was fine and super fast--done in one day! The solar project manager has been better about communication. I really appreciate how she answers all my questions eventually and seems to quickly addresses next steps. For example, when we passes inspection for the solar, within a business day she notified and filed for PTO with LADWP. I was shocked LADWP came the next day and we got our PTO! But even with her, there is a struggle with communication that I suspect is related to either disorganization or lack of communication on the back end. We are done with all the actual work. I am very eagerly waiting to pay my final bill and turn my system on. But I'm waiting for AMECO to get me signed unconditional waivers which our sales person brought up himself as something they are good at doing. The one from the roofers took about 2 weeks, which is fine. Our solar PM got the one from our install within a day, which was surprisingly fast. Unfortunately she's getting a lot of push back from the solar panel parts supplier. And I still am a bit confused if I need just one waiver from AMECO that could encompass the whole project or two --one for roof and one for solar. I've asked everyone I could think of--our roof PM, my solar PM and some person who randomly emailed me one day saying they were from accounting. There is no clear answer. I know this will eventually all get settled. It's just been frustrating and reminds me why I hate working with contractors who use subs. The work seems solid. Price was good value. Communication is just horrible.

Anny Pham | Paramount, CA | 03/28/2023

Since covid I have been wanting to get solar panels for my house. Getting recommended by my friend, I chose Ameco Solar, and I could not be any happier. The customer service was phenomenal, along with the installation process. Since it was my first time, I was unsure of many things, but they explained to me the different system sizes and made sure I knew what i was purchasing. I would recommended choosing Ameco for their excellent communication and how they run the business.

Shana Gorski | Studio City, CA | 01/25/2023

Great Experience

I found out about AMECO through online research. I decided to go with them. Everyone I worked with was as thorough as they come and extremely knowledgeable. I had two crews for installation. The first crew reroofed a portion of my existing roof. From the get-go I would receive daily updates from the project manager. He always called to keep me posted about the progress after the crew left for the day. I am very knowledgeable about home construction and when they were finished with the installation I would never have known that they were there at all. They were very clean and I am very happy with the work that they did. The crew that installed my solar panels was also very professional. I asked them lots of questions and they patiently answered everything and took time to explain how everything works. I 100% recommend AMECO

linda khols | Paramount, CA | 12/11/2022

They did an amazing job on my solar panels, the process was faster than I expected and I love my solar panels!! They were nice and very helpful and made the process super smooth.

Dan H. | Long Beach, CA | 11/05/2022

Ameco installed our 8kw system earlier this year. Great communication and they installed the system in a day. They used a sub contractor for the actua install, but all went well.

JH | Morgan Hill, CA | 11/01/2022

Completely Inept and unresponsive

Contracted 6/22/22. Took until 10/13/22 to pass inspection. Made 4 trips to site to install, each time the crew showed up without the necessary parts so they had to come back again. Destroyed the concrete tile on my roof. The installers were in fact subcontractors qualified to do electrical work but not roofing. Ameco did not advise that they were going to use a subcontractor. After inspection and final pmt. on 10/13/22 Ameco failed to get the Permission To Operate certificate from PGE leaving me with an inoperable system. Ameco also failed to set up the Enphase app leaving me unable to monitor my system and see if is working as specified. Ameco also has failed to repair the window broken during installation as of 10/31/22. My conclusion is that Ameco is unprofessional, unqualified and untrustworthy.

Roy | Rancho Santa Margarita, CA | 10/21/2022

Ameco Solar

I was connected with AMECO through the SoCal Edison Marketplace partner Electrum. The project manager, Angie, kept me informed with regular updates from start to finish. The installation did a great job and answered all my questions about the installation, they also did a great of clean-up afterwards, which was much appreciated, Very happy with results and would recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

Danny Coorsh | La Canada Flintridge, CA | 10/12/2022

Smooth and on-time project!

I was connected with AMECO through the SoCal Edison Marketplace partner Electrum. Everyone I worked with at AMECO was reliable and friendly. The project manager, Angie, kept me informed with regular updates as my project worked its way through planning, city permitting, installation, and utility approval. We are very happy with results and would recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

K. Walsh | Wrightwood, CA | 09/21/2022

Ameco Solar - I would recommend!

After interviewing six solar companies, we purchased our solar system (not a lease) from Ameco. From our initial sales call with Thomas, to the prompt & polite follow up emails with answers to our many questions, to the installers, and to the final emails, instructions and calls with Angie, everything went very well. Ameco matched the price of a competitor we were considering, and moved as quickly as they could to get everything handled. It can feel like a slow process as you wait for permits, inspections, and Edison to turn it on - but our system was complete within the estimated time frame. We've only been connected to Edison for about 2 weeks, but so far so good! I would recommend this company for Solar.

Ameco Terrible | Pasadena, CA | 09/15/2022

Terrible; Fails to Produce Suff Energy, Warranty Ignored

Awful, nightmare. Started this July 2021, broken promises, refusal to honor warranty, unprofessional, energy production promised but unmet. Told that panels would cover my year's electricity, in full. Only covers 1/2 to 2/3. Energy production suddenly drops by 50%. Call Ameco, given excuses, useless info, refuses repeated requests to send out tech to examine, resolve. Told nope, but we can sell you more panels. Feel totally ripped off, abandoned. Took so long to install, started this July, installed end of Dec. Their main tech speaks nary a word of English, so never knew what was happening. The "project manager" never even came to my house. When finally installed and ready to activate, they made me, disabled guy w/ cane, with no knowledge of this stuff, go out, push buttons, levers, etc, and of course, didn't work properly. So unprofessional. Now I'm screwed, paying monthly on $29,000 loan for about 15 yrs, with a system that isn't working and Ameco has basically told me to go screw myself. Heartless. Cruel.

Theresa Nguyen | Paramount, CA | 08/18/2022

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

The solar panel is incredibly simple to schedule and install. I purchased a wonderful solar panel for an affordable rate. The installation process was quick and simple. The staff service was outstanding. They walked me through the pricing thoroughly.

Barney Stinson | Paramount , CA | 08/17/2022

It was a great experience working with them. 10/10

Nicole | Paramount, CA | 08/11/2022

They gave amazing service and the employees were very helpful. When I had questions, I received very quick responses and was never left waiting. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for solar and roofing!

Reba Liggett | Tujunga, CA | 08/10/2022

Wonderful, thorough, and competent solar company!

Our solar adventure started with a couple of mishaps and when I figured out that DWP had a solar marketplace I went through them to find Ameco Solar. This team is wonderful! Angelica was our project manager and was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. They moved through the permit process quickly and with ease. I was told to expect the permitting to take 5 weeks to a few months and they were ready to move into installation three weeks after the initial permits were submitted! Angelica took care of everything for us. From the permitting to the scheduling to requesting the permission to operate from DWP. We just sat back and watched them work! I can't recommend Ameco highly enough. 5/5 would recommend them to anyone looking to add solar to their home. The other companies we had looked at before going onto the marketplace were shady and trying to get the tax benefits for the equipment. Angelica and the rest of the Ameco team just wanted to provide us with a high quality, working solar system. I'm so happy we ended up choosing them from the bids we received.

CP | Chino Hills, CA | 07/22/2022

A+ Service!

The ameco team was professional every step of the way. They're definitely not the cheapest and certainly not the most expensive Solar company out there. However, one thing is you won't find any other company with more years of experience than ameco and it shows in their work and their customer service. Thomas, Angie, Yazmina, Ovsanna, and the installation team did a wonderful job.

Clint and Louise Taylor | Glendora, CA | 07/15/2022

Thank you, Ameco!!!

We have recently completed our home solar project, including roof work and solar panel installation. We applaud and appreciate the assistance we received throughout the project from our Ameco support team. We remain especially grateful to Evelyn Ramon and Yazmina Hooks, our project managers, for clear explanations, for patience and responsiveness to our multitude of questions and special requests, and for easing us successfully through the surprises of any such major project. They were endlessly cheerful, encouraging, informative, and responsive. We loved having their expert guidance! We also thank Tom Amitay, Ameco’s Founder and CEO, for his personal attention and support through our project. Tom is truly dedicated to his Ameco mission. We heartily recommend Ameco for its solar project services. Ameco provides the expertise, guidance, and individualization we sought for our project, and we, thanks to Ameco, now enjoy our negative electrical bills! Clint and Louise Taylor Happy Ameco customers

Russell strong | Tehachapi, CA | 06/05/2022

Great experience

Ameco took us through every step of the solar installation process from beginning to end. The project was on time and everyone involved was helpful and professional. The cost was better than expected. Thanks to our project manager Yasmina and everyone else involved.

AMECO Solar and Roofing Project Evaluation in Ojai, CA

My experience with AMECO Solar began January 28, 2022. Happy to say that we are now generating electricity effective, May 10, 2022 - 102 days in total. The needs for our 60 year-old home included repairing and replacing the roof as well as installing a solar array with enough capacity to cover our power needs for the next 20-30 years. We had just secured a Reverse Mortgage, having decided we are living in our "forever home". Our goal included locking in the lowest fixed costs that match our projected fixed income over the long-range planning horizon. The combined solar and roofing solution provided by AMECO satisfied this goal perfectly. I began speaking with AMECO as I neared the end of my initial data collection phase. (See detailed explanation of my overall experience further below). I initially worked with a gentleman named Tash, who guided me through the initial project engagement phase, answering all my questions in a timely and professional manner. The AMECO process was very straightforward and easy -aided by Tash’s support. He was able to answer all my questions regarding the roofing project as well as the solar array. If he didn’t know something real-time, he followed up very quickly. The initial engagement phase included scoping out the details of what would be included in each project contract (one for roof and one for the solar array) as well as the financing agreement. Once the contracts were signed and the loan arranged, I was handed over to the Project Coordination Team at AMECO. They guided me through the construction and inspection phases for both the roofing project and the solar project. I thought that Yazmina was really effective in this role for AMECO. She was very proactive in her communications and responded very quickly to every question/concern I raised along the way. She communicated via email, phone and text in a very pleasant, professional manner throughout. She helped to make the process problem-free and moved quickly to conclusion. I think the key to Yazmina’s role was that she was proactive in anticipating the next step and prepared me very well for key decisions and inspections along the way. As a point of background, I had located AMECO through a fairly extensive research process including: 1. Collecting information, insights and recommendations from my son and son-in-law who had each just completed solar-only projects in Camarillo, CA and San Diego, CA respectively. 2. Using their insights, I identified a couple of prospective candidate companies from the internet and conducted a couple of "fact-finding" zoom calls to collect information. (AMECO was not one of these initial companies). Here is what I learned from that initial research: 1) Our projected electricity costs could be 100% covered by a solar array on our roof. We had enough roof square footage to hold the required number of solar panels needed. 2) Our existing roof would need to be replaced. Because of its age, solar could not be installed before bringing the roof up to code and new shingles installed. 3) A solar battery/storage option is available if we chose to install along with our solar array. (We chose to wait before adding to our system). 4) Government-backed financing is available to cover all of the solar panel installation along with some of the roofing costs: • Our rate ended up being 1.45% • No money down up front • Payments don’t start until the system is up and running • Extended pay-off period. Our loan payments will last 40 years or at time of sale of our property. This timeframe works well for us as we do not intend to move. We are both retired and have no family or work ties that will pull us away from our home. • No prepayment penalties • AMECO did all the heavy lifting – they provided the finance company options along with the financial terms options. All we had to do was select the options we wanted and sign the e-documents sent to us. Truly hassle free. 5) The internet is an amazing tool and should be leveraged by prospective solar and roofing buyers!  Solar and Roofing providers can do their initial estimates/assessments by using publicly available satellite maps. They can turn around estimates in a few hours and in some cases provide real time feedback on your property while speaking with them.  Using your favorite browser, you can sign-up with “Finder Sites” that broadcast your request for quotes out to candidate Solar providers who contact you - versus you having to contact multiple companies on your own. This is a HUGE TIMESAVER – recommend using these sites!  Solar and roofing projects involve unique technologies with terminology not commonly understood by most of us. I personally follow the rule of “Trust, but verify.” I want to believe what each professional I speak with has to say, but I also want to have a solid reference point to ensure I both understand what is being said and to also verify that it based in fact. I used these sites to help accomplish this goal for me. • My “Finder Site” experience yielded 10 companies who each provided comprehensive bids that were easily comparable. • I used these bids to build a spreadsheet to help select the best providers. Some of the relevant criteria I was able to glean from this analysis included: o The type of panels and inverters each company uses. Some companies use only one brand of panel while others, such as AMECO, offer multiple manufacturer options. There are different variables such as “25 year degradation curves” that are worth comparing between manufacturers. o What size system each company would recommend, using my SCE (Southern California Edison) billing history. Recommendations for us ranged from 6200 KW to 8800 KW. We ended up going with a 7200 KW system installed by AMECO. o Cost data that I used to compare all bids. AMECO’s proposal was amongst the top 3 companies when comparing solar quotes. o In addition to costs, it is important to consider other “soft” factors such as:  Customer Service and support capabilities – AMECO scored high on this front.  Warranties offered on the equipment as well as the installation. Again, AMECO ranked amongst the highest firms in these areas. For example, if we get a leak in our roof where the solar panels are installed 20 years from now, AMECO will stand behind the products and the workmanship involved.  And because we are talking about a 20-40 year time horizon, it is important to select partners that will be around awhile. AMECO has been around for nearly 50 years and I am confident they will succeed over many recent start-ups who do not offer the full package of services they do. In summary, I highly recommend AMECO as your Solar and Roofing project partner. You will be very pleased with the results. I will feedback later as needed on satisfaction with the system and the support from AMECO in future posts. Al from Ojai May 11, 2022

Excellent Service

Ameco Solar, the company was very professional, accurate and timely. Strongly recommend Ameco Solar for solar panel installation.

PD | Westlake Village, CA | 04/22/2022

Happy Customer

Ameco installed my solar panels recently. I explored many options and got multiple quotes from all the major companies before I chose to go with Ameco. They were not the cheapest(nor the most expensive) and were very upfront about that fact. I still chose to go with them because of of their excellent reputation and customer service. When investing in something that is supposed to last many years and when that installation is something on my roof, that could potentially impact its integrity, I wanted an established local company that would stand behind its work. I was not disappointed, with my decision. Their customer service was superb throughout the whole process. Pernille was my project manager and she did an excellent job keeping me informed of every step, worked with me when I had questions or concerns. If she was ever unavailable, he colleague Yazmina stepped in.
The design, permitting and installation both went very smoothly and quickly.  I'm very pleased with the final result and the overall process and would highly recommend Ameco.

bizarre behavior

I've dealt with Ameco twice, once in 2007 and once in 2022. If this had been based only on the 2007 experience, I would have given the company a four- or five-star review, but today, I think what people would actually care about is what the company is like now. In 2007, I got a PV system on my house built by Ameco, and it was a fine experience. In 2022, I wanted to expand my system, so Ameco was the first company I called for a quote, and I fully expected to end up hiring them, after getting at least one other proposal for comparison. I had two zoom calls with one of their people, and everything seemed fine. They showed me a diagram of the expansion, told me a price orally, and said they would email me a proposal before the weekend. It's now two weeks later, and they have totally ghosted me. Pretty bizarre. I can't imagine why they would go to this much trouble to make a sale, but then go completely silent. No reply to emails. We were communicating by email before they ghosted me, so I don't think it's just a technical glitch or something.

Awesome solar company with great track record!

After researching and talking to many solar companies (SunRun, OC Solar, SemperSolaris, Tesla, SunLove.US, HES) servicing the Orange County area, I decided to go with Ameco Solar due to their track record, years in the industry, and overall great experiencing in conversing with their sales team and project manager. I decided to get a new roof, 200 amp service panel, and solar system to take advantage of the solar federal tax credit and Ameco Solar and Roofing was a one stop shop for the whole project. Thomas Vitale was patient and answered all my questions regarding the roofing, solar panels, and electric panel. Yazmina, our project manager, was really great to work with. Responses to our questions via email were quick and she explained everything about our solar system, how to shutdown the system if needed, how to use the online portal, and provided all documentation regarding the use of our system. The roofing install went a little rocky with the roofers leaving roof nails on the ground in the backyard and around the house and driveway. Yazmina was able to coordinate with roofers and have them go with a magnet all around the house and backyard to make sure all the nails were collected. Overall, a great experience with Ameco. My solar system generates 41.6 watts on a very sunny day in March, more than enough to meet my household needs and then a lot extra that I can run my AC and other electronics and no longer have to worry about a huge energy bill. Sure, the upfront cost is a pretty penny, but it will pay for itself in under 10 years.

Easy and painfree experience

From beginning to end, Ameco was a pleasure to work with. Tash helped guide me throughout the evaluation process. He explained which panels were better and why along with what would be the best size depending on a variety of future factors. He was very clear on price differences between leasing and owning which I found to be a bit rare while evaluating. Once purchased, Logan and Yazmina did a wonderful job while updating me on which stage of the process we were in and what to expect next. I would definitely recommend Ameco

Best solar company

The best solar company around. From the beginning of the process to the final inspection, the communication was great and friendly. They explain everything clearly on each part of the process and were very knowledgeable on the installation. The technicians who came to do the actual installation were friendly and goes beyond to do a great job. Everything were matched to the color of the house to make it look natural. Great care was performed to the ultimate customer satisfaction. They were honest and down to earth. No pressure sales tactics either. A very relaxed transaction. The follow up was great even after the solar was installed and approved. Their technicians knows how to get the install approved the first time passing the County inspection which is important. Great job boys for a smooth transaction.

Solar system installed

Recently I have installed the solar system on my roof by AMECO Solar through the SCE Marketplace. They did a great job. Customers service was excellent. Mary Sogomonyan was my project manager and she was on top of the job. Every question, email and calls were handled promptly. You have done it. Hopefully we do more business again in the future. Thank you so much.

Sam | Whittier, CA | 11/24/2021

Satisfied Customer!

Huge thanks to Yazmina Crooks and the Ameco team for successfully delivering our rooftop solar solution. A painless journey from beginning to end and we couldn't be happier with our installation. Yazmina thoroughly answered all of our question and queued us on questions we didn't even think to ask. Thanks again for all the support from planning through PTO!

Ameco Solar did a good job on our Solar installation. The process overall was easy. The work was clean. They showed up when they said they would. We had a little issue with the city inspector with our main panel that we upgraded, as well with a block wall that was too close to the panel, but they were able to resolve it in a timely manner without us having to remove the wall. I would definitely recommend Ameco Solar to anyone looking for Solar.

Excellent!

Every step of the process was very clear and easy. It could not have been easier or better!

Jakester | Seal Beach, CA | 05/15/2021

I highly recommend AMECO solar! They came through as promised!

After much research, I chose AMECO solar over many others and am pleased with their work. My detailed review is on YELP. In short, they were excellent to deal with even as I coordinated three projects together with my solar installation. Kudos to Thomas Vitale, my initial phone contact and Yazmina Crooks, my project coordinator!

Zandra Arsenio | 04/29/2021

Hire this company, you can't go wrong with them!

Simply A+! From the salesperson, project manager, and down to the installation team, everyone is super easy to work with and we were very satisfied. Our bill has been reduced by 80+% in the first month of use! We are very excited for the coming months and years.

Ashley Randall | 04/28/2021

The best!

There are so many options when choosing solar companies, and Ameco Solar is the best option by far! Not only were the prices, of the quality of products as well as the warranty, but the customer service is second to none. I did not say, we did not have any hiccups along the way, but the way they handled those and finished to our satisfaction is overwhelming. Their communication is the best. We are very happy with their work and service!

Felix | Los Angeles, CA | 03/19/2021

Professional!

Excellent service! I was not disappointed with the professionalism and quality of work. They were on point and always communicating while in the process of completing all the materials. The project was done within the schedule and the workers worked cleanly. You should hire them.

Sandra | 03/13/2021

100% recommended

We just concluded our home solar installation with and I cannot praise the team highly enough. It was a smooth process! I would say, the easiest I have encountered in a major purchase. Their super friendly and super accommodating sales rep was a huge plus! There were no surprises along the road, no pressure, and just a 100% personable approach and at the same time great professionalism. Given the high quality of service and system evaluation, it is apparent that their product and service sell themselves. Use them and you'll see what I mean.

John | Santa Monica, CA | 02/11/2021

Excellent service and great installer

After working with different solar installers and getting different estimates, we decided to work with Ameco. The price we got and the service we received were excellent. The installer, Joaquin, was careful and worked with us to ensure that the install looked the way we wanted. We really liked him and his crew and would highly recommend him. The staff, especially Yazmina, was really responsive whenever we had questions. I would strongly recommend Ameco.

Elvin | 02/10/2021

Great service!

I got quotes and chatted with about 8-9 different companies before I decided to go with Ameco. Their communication is excellent, the company has been around for much more than the 10 years I was looking for, and a great 40-year roofing warranty (I hope they last at least that long!). I only had it installed this week, so cannot comment yet on their long-term qualities, but their competence and knowledge is reassuring. Thank you to Kelly, Yazmina, and Erick, and of course, the solar installation crew. I particularly appreciated how Kelly didn't just tell me what to get, but asked questions and gave her insight on the various options we could go with. Very different from the others. My HOA requires painting of the pipes to match the walls, and I had neglected to buy the paint beforehand. I appreciate that they gave me a head's up on what was needed, so I had time to buy it. I hope to be able to enjoy the sun's power for many years to come!

Excellent Customer Serivce

Ameco did a great job on our recent solar installation project even with the current operational challenges created by COVID-19. Our projected was completed on time even with the year end surge in installations due to customers seeking to take advantage of the tax credit. Our electrical system had to be completely swapped out which required our exterior walls to be torn up, but this was all taken care by Ameco with ease. In addition, the customer service representative was very friendly and helpful in addressing any questions of ours that arose throughout the project.

Easy company to work with Fast Installation

We had a excellent experience using Ameco and would highly recommend. Quick and easy installation. No issues to date. Very happy with the experience.

Justin Leonard | Encino, CA | 12/01/2020

Quality, Friendly, and COVID Safe Service!

***I also posted this review on Yelp. Thank you again to the staff!*** I have to start by saying WOW. I don't know why I didn't have a solar system installed in my home years ago; my electric bill is almost non-existent now. I don't cringe at the sight of the LADWP bill anymore and I must say, it is all thanks to the team over at AMECO. I have a background in Electrical Engineering so to say that I was an easy customer to deal with would be a severe understatement. I must have drove their lovely project manager, Yazmina, absolutely insane with the amount of times I called ha! However, no matter how many questions or concerns I brought them throughout the entire process, they were always there to help immediately, or as soon as they had the information I wanted to hear. All in all, I'd say AMECO is definitely the company to speak to if you're looking into a solar system for your home.
