LA Solar Group

Simply the best!

I have an efficient 14kw system from LA Solar with room for expansion and a EV car charger. LA Solar was, by far, the best solar company I researched. I was so excited to do solar but felt the prices were high, the return on investment took forever and that the companies were "salesy" –like car salespeople. I deeply researched 7 solar companies and my gut didn't feel good about any of them until LA Solar Group. Most of the other companies had to use more panels to deliver less electricity and the warranties and return on investment were not as good. LA Solar was the best rated by customers by far, had a strong financial rating, has been growing consistently and substantially for the last 5 years. Fast forward a year later, and they have been perfectly attentive and my system has been flawless. After LA Solar like the best choice, I walked into the office unannounced. The CEO stopped a meeting to speak to me. He started on the roof installing the first systems himself. He is an ultra-smart guy, very focused on efficiency which is important for long-term survival. He is an electrical engineer by trade and also has a roofing license. Locally they have 8 crews installing full-time. Nothing is subcontracted out. This, to me, is very important. Quality control. The solar designers are engineers. The equipment is from the best manufacturers. They don't spend money on advertising, they get their new business from referrals almost exclusively. This, in combination with efficient and quality processes and equipment, right down the highest quality waterproof washers, is their secret sauce. This is how they get installations done for the lowest cost, the first time, with the least amount of return service calls. In my experience they are honest, transparent, hard working and innovative. I met much of the sales team, the sales manager and the support staff. Hard working, kind and educated people who care. My installation was done a year ago. I went from contract to installation to approvals in less than a month. LADWP now owes me 1600 kwh as of today. I pay 10 dollars a month on my electric bill for connection fees, that's it and my system will be paid off in another 5 years. It was a complete no-brainer. Plus, they listened to my requirements. You cannot see my system from the street, there is room for another row of panels. I was able to have enough space to install thermal pool solar on my north face as well. Perfect. In a sea of questionable companies, I knew they were the best choice and it still holds true today. Solar is not a little decision in my view. You are letting people drill into your roof. For me, I wanted to make sure I had the best people as partners, so I was always proud driving into my garage and that's exactly what I have with LA Solar.

Great company!

They have excellent customer service and did a good install.

LA Solar did a very good job

I started looking for Solar in 2014. I has several companies come over and a few gave me quotes based on satellite photos. LA Solar was near the lowest bid but the main reason I went with them is all the positive reviews on Yelp. I signed a contract with them and after all the permits were in place they installed the system. It was turned on not long afterwards and has been working very well with the exception of a faulty inverter a year later that they replaced with a newer model. LA Solar has been responsive to my requests and seems to care about their customers.

PROFESSIONAL. CLEAN. FAST.

I have done a ton of work on my house since I bought it, and HANDS DOWN, the level of professionalism of the LA SOLAR contractors and engineers was second to none. They were clean, professional, fast, and they did not mess up. The sales team did a phenomenal job explaining my costs, benefits, and tax rebates. Not to mention, they went into detail about what was being installed on my roof. I ended up buying a Chevy Volt down the road. Due to their install I save roughly $350/month on my electrical bill, $350/month on not having to buy gasoline. A+, I high recommend them.

Great Experience - Bring on the SunShine!!!

From start to finish, my experience w/ LA Solar was great. They were able to get my system approved and installed fairly rapidly, allowing me to claim a tax credit for 2016, instead of having to wait for 2017. 6 months into ownership - no issues w/ my panels and their customer service is top notch. I'm 700 dollars to the good w/ my electric utility and that was through the wettest winter in Southern California History.

LA Solar - the best there is!

We've now had our panels for 2yrs, and they continue to produce above anticipated levels, and completely maintenance free. LA Solar also check in with us from time to time to make sure all is well - and it is! When we started this process, we'd taken numerous bids from the 'big names' when my wife found the Yelp reviews from LA Solar Group, and I gave them a call. They put in a bid, which was substantially better then the 'big names', and provided better quality panels and microinverters in their bid, when the others didn't and still cost more. All the staff there are friendly and knowledgeable, and unlike the big names, they don't hassle and pressure you into decisions. Our installation was fantastic - 1 day for a complete 18 panel installation and main service panel upgrade. 10 days later we had the permit from the inspector, and 3 weeks after that Edison gave us the go ahead. We went from contract to operational in 6 weeks, which is a timeline no-one can promise. They also patched and painted the stucco and conduit to match the house color as part of the service. We've only been online for 7-days now, but the panels are already producing more then anticipated, and we still have spring/summer to come! Make sure you get multiple bids when going solar - there is such a swing in price and quality, but absolutely make sure you get LA solar to bid on your project, you won't regret it. LA Solar Group are *the* standard of excellence.

great experience

i contacted around 10 companies for bids. I decided to go with LASG group after i saw one of my neighbor had there system done by them. they had zero issues with the install and everything was on time as promised. I had the same experience. I was contacted every step of the way. most importantly they weren't pushy at all. I sent a few friends to LASG. they also had a great experience.

Sunpower solar panels

After receiving high summer electric bills, I finally decided to go solar. I've been looking for almost 4 years and had started the process with LA solar group last sept 2016. Out of the 3 other companies I reached out too, LA solar group provided with the best pricing, fastest completion of work, clean install and solar was turned on within a month. I'm currently prepared for this summer and running the AC will be a breeze.

tip: stay on top of the process

This is a MAJOR investment so I'll treat the review accordingly and try to cover my entire experience so far. I met with LA Solar Group, Solar City, and Crown Solar before deciding to go with LA Solar Group. My parents have panels installed by Solar City but I decided to do some shopping around just in case there were better prices out there and it turns out Solar City was the most expensive of the 3. Crown Solar was pretty competitive but doesn't seem to have a big reputation/many reviews. The last thing you want is to dump a bunch of money into a company and find out they went out of business and you can't get support on your hardware that was supposed to be covered by warranties. The guys from LA Solar group are smart and competitive. They asked to see quotes from the other providers and insisted they would beat their prices. I have a large tree in front of my house. While it does keep the house quite cool, shade is a known enemy of solar panels and they even offered to credit me for the tree removal in an effort to max out panel product. Financing is done through LA Credit Union. If you haven't done your homework, do study up on combo loans. It's tricky and probably sounds like a scam but relies on you getting a refund the following year. The actual install process was pretty smooth. I didn't have to babysit the installation and the mounting is clean. I have some reverse tilt panels on the rear of my house and they seem sturdy enough. I'm not actually offended by solar panels affecting the aesthetic of buildings, so there's not much to really note other than the panels are installed exactly as they were planned in the design app. Afterwards, it felt like I was a bit in the dark for system activation. The process doesn't end once the panels/inverter are up. You have to get permission to operate from your electric company (LADWP in my case). It took a few emails/phone calls back and forth between LA Solar Group and DWP to get things moving. As long as you are on top of the activation process, you'll get your system running in a reasonable time. Responses to status inquiries were always received in a reasonable amount of time and my sales rep never ignored any of my text messages. The monitoring app is somewhat limited if you are expecting live stats. Since the inverter is connected via a cellular connection, the readings only update in 4 hour intervals.

Going With LA Solar Group Was The Best Descision I Made

After doing my homework for two months reading solar panel blogs and websites, I chose LA Solar Group to buy and install the solar system for my home. I received several estimates from other companies. The LA Solar Group Sales representative was very informative and did not pressure me in making a purchase. LA Solar Group provided me several options based upon my needs and budget. After studying the solar panel blogs on the Internet I knew the about latest solar panel technologies and the average purchase costs of various solar panels. I selected LA Solar Group's proposal which had a solar system with the latest technologies at below the average market cost! Once I signed the contract, LA Solar Group did not hesitate to start the installation process. Two days after the city approved the plans the solar system was installed on the roof. There were no delays during the solar installation process that was contributed to LA Solar Group. The City Inspector even commented on how nicely done the installation was accomplished. LA Solar Group's team kept me informed at all steps of the installation process. The solar system has been operating for about 6 weeks now and I have no regrets going with LA Solar Group.

Excellent Service

I had a great experience with LA Solar Group. They were on top of the project from begining to the end. Excellent customer service and professional team.

5 Star Solar Installer

LA Solar Group is the gold standard for solar energy design and installation in Los Angeles. During the discovery process, I researched and sent out multiple request for quotes to different solar installers in the Los Angeles area. Within 5 minutes of sending an e-mail, I got an e-mail and a phone call from Ara with LA Solar Group. After going through multiple quotes, we decided to go forward with LA Solar Group because of their competitive pricing and their excellent/professional/honest customer service. Ara explained all aspects of the solar installation thoroughly (rebate information, installation procedure, warranty or pricing). The entire quote was sent to us in a nice package with all information included, including the equipment datasheet. The installation went very well and exceeded all expectations. They went above and beyond as they cleaned up after themselves including making sure the area they worked at was in a better condition then when they first started. Their installation is professional and made sure it was also cosmetically beautiful. I am glad to have found this company and will surely highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have solar installed.
