Sea Bright Solar (CA)

Email only, no telephone calls, to get warranty service. It took a month for someone to show up. Couldn’t fix it. When I called to make the follow up appointment, she berated me for not knowing my system better. It took a month for the next appointment. Now they are an hour late …

Sea Bright Solar is horrible. My project started March 2024 and the last 4th inspection was in September 2024 for installation. Battery could not be commissioned and they left the system not working. Everytime a different person was sent, they did not know what they were doing, would call the office and was told to just do this or that even if it was not up to code and they would change it later to pass or vice-versa. Now a year later, Sunstrong sent another company out to finally get my system to work and found so many errors. The worst was the live wire left in my SCE panel which thank goodness the tech had proper tools otherwise he would be dead. CT's were inverted, a shut off handle was installed wrong (off was on and on was off), a microinverter was bad, a rusted circuit breaker was used and had to be changed out, and a component on the battery was missing. This company should be shut down. Scary if other jobs were done the same: shady, low quality work and dangerous installation. I am glad I did not allow them to enter my property when last sent and waited for this other company who were professionals and knew how to get things done right. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, I fear you risk your home's safety. If I could give it no stars I would. Oh and they will blame whatever employee they fired and try to get around mistakes by saying that person no longer works with us when in fact the fault lies with their General manager-Darrel Miramontes and Manager-Mike Jimenez. This company should be investigated.

Sea Bright installed our 17 panel setup and few years ago and it went great. Just recently we decided to add more panels, and they were glad to help. One of the employees, Dirk, came out during the install to verify everything was going well. And of course it did, they always do a great job.

Our solar installation was activated a few weeks ago. From the time our storage batteries became available, through total solar installation, city approval, and the power company’s approval to connect, these processes were completed in a quick 20 working days timeframe. Needless to say, my system started generating power on day one of the system turn up. I would like to thank everyone at Sea Bright Solar for a job well done and hope I have an opportunity to work with all of you again in the future. Your efforts are very much noticed and appreciated because they’re performed by hard working people who take pride in what they do.

Have just started the process, but salesmen (Richard) was very professional and allowed us to make a decision without making us feel pressured. He provided us with more information than other Solar companies have. So far I would recommend!

The worst experience ever. We signed the solar contract on 4/30/22 and it is currently the end of December 2023 and this project HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. There have been delays every step of the way. The company has had a turnover of project managers. There is no accountability for getting the job done. They ignore our emails and phone calls and do not call back. The panels finally got installed in April 2023 a year after the contract was signed but failed the inspection. The problem was fixed and they were operational as of the end of August 2023. They were supposed to upgrade our electric panel and install a Tesla charger as part of the contract. They half did the electric panel and we can't get a hold of them again. We even filed a complaint with the California State Contractor's Board after which they started to respond but failed to respond again the state board closed the complaint. We are unable to get this project completed.

Solar system turned in early August. SLO county inspector indicated he would sign inspection documents but only after Seabright Solar representative told him they would fix dangling cable under one panel. They never did. I contacted company shortly after turning on the system and looking at MySolar app since it was showing my house power usage as twice as much as it has ever used. They said Seabright would contact me. They never did. I called the help phone line again in early September and they indicated Seabright would call. Seabright called and I tested them a screen shot of the MySolar app showing house using twice as much power and power being imported from PG&E. I also sent them screen shot of most recent PG&E bill showing 10 days of solar power indicating a net export to the utility grid whereas their app show import from the grid for same period of time. They said they thought CTs were hocked up incorrectly and they would send someone out. They never did. A couple of days ago, I was contacted by salesperson asking how things were going. I relayed my frustration and sent him latest PG&E bill showing solar panels were delivering power to grid instead of their app indicating power was being imported from grid. No response from them yet

It has been almost a year since I signed up for a new system install (September 2022). They have not been able to complete the permitting process, or provide an install date, an ETA, or even assign me a project manager that is willing/able to return calls or make more than a quarterly attempt to keep me in the loop (out of the 5 I have had assigned to our project so far). I was told in January of 2023 that the permits were submitted to and being reviewed by my local municipality. On July 13th 2023 I was told that the permits were submitted to and being reviewed by my local municipality. Today I received an eSign document from Sunpower asking me to sign a termination agreement, which I did not request, nor can anyone at Seabright explain why I received it. If they are cancelling the contract after keeping us hanging for almost 1 year, the loss of NEM 2.0 grandfathering is going to cost us a significant amount of money, if solar is even a viable choice at that point. I am still in shock at how completely nonexistent the customer service is with this company, given the amount of money involved. They simply do not care once your contract is signed.

After many months my panels are finally in operation. Firstly I really appreciate the support of the sales consultant Wade. I feel he is very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. There seemed to be some turnovers of project managers which may have contributed to the long time span for our project, but the current team members Kassy, Damaris and Ginny are quite helpful in getting us through the last few hurdles to get us running.

Sea Bright Solar explained everything to me in detail, and did every thing they said. They walked me thru the paperwork and reporting, so that I could get all the certificates. We definitely got our money back after 6 years!

Excellent technicians and extremely professional. Their work was professional and they took pride in their work habits and job performance. I would highly recommend them for jobs with Sea Bright Solar and Sun Power. Thankyou for sending such qualified technicians for work on my house. They were also pleasant to deal with and well mannered.

Excellent customer service bases on my experience. The sales representative was very knowledgeable and was able to help lock in a great deal with good rate and a small discount. So far so good, but will see how the installation process goes.

I have my SunPower system installed and up and running for a little over a month now. I contacted Sea Bright solar and talked to Chris Palmer around end of June 2022. Chris is an amazing guy specially coming after talking salesmen from three other solar companies I found out that he was different. No sales push, listened to my questions and answered all my questions professionally. He is the kind of guy you feel like you completely trust and he is. I signed the contract 06/28/2022 even though it was several thousand dollars over the competitors. I was told before signing the contract it would be 8 to 12 weeks before my system gets installed and I was good with that as from my research the standard timeline when it comes to installation of a solar is around 3 month. In between, communication from the office was barely there and even when you call or send e mail. I didn’t expect any update up until 3 month passed from the time the contract signed. But as we were going to past 4 month plus I felt like sailing in the dark. I was not even sure when it was going to be installed at all. Finally I had to escalate the matter due to lack of communication and Chris and Ginny Resman from their New Jersey office gets involved and help speed up the scheduling and subsequent installation. I would like to thank them both Chris and Ginny for that and their subsequent follow up. Now the actual team from Sea Bright who did the installation were amazing. It took them 7 days as there were rainy days in between to install the solar panels and upgrade my electrical panel. City of Redlands inspection was quick right after installation and it passed right away. Installation was done from 11/03/2022 to 11/10/2022. SCE gave the PTO just in under 2 days after the office submitted the paperwork. My system is running since 11/24/2022 and production is great even in the winter time. Unfortunately the monitoring system is showing only production- no consumption or grid export data. This is because the installation team forgot to install the consumption CTs/meter. I have reached out to Sea Bright Solar to install the CTs and I am waiting for them to schedule the installation. In addition to Chris and Ginny, I would like to thank Damaris,Kassy and Rose from the Redlands office as well. The reason for the 3 star is because of lack of communication and responsiveness between signing the contract and start of installation, the uninstalled Consumption meter I am waiting for and a panel layout not reflecting the modifications done in the actual installation. It is both aesthetically beautiful and very efficient system so far.
