Semper Solaris

Loved your representative Izaiah Forrest. Forthcoming honest went over all our questions. Gave us helpful hints for choices and was extremely polite with a good sense of humor. We have total trust in him.

Outstanding customer service

We had the absolute best customer service experience thanks to Izaiah. He is a wonderful, personable professional who truly cares about his clients. When we hit a wall trying to get a hold of customer support, he stepped up and came back out to our property to ensure we were taken care of. He has been our go-to lifeline ever since, resolving any issue immediately. He made this the most seamless, comfortable, and pleasant purchasing experience we've ever had.

Sales rep Review

I had a great vusit with Izaiah

Awesome Experience

I worked with Paul Rampoldi to have my Semper Solaris solar system installed. Paul kept me informed about the process and the installation was smooth, quick & effortless on my part. Everything went exactly as Paul indicated it would. I can highly recommend Semper Solaris and Paul Rampoldi.

Communication was great! The install was fast and efficient. Genevieve was our rep and she was so helpful and explained everything to us. We recommend using her if you’re going with Semper Solaris!

Roland came to talk to us about the windows and was very polite and knowledgeable. The installation went well and quickly. He came by during the installation to check on the progress and surprised us with a treat. We feel very positive about the service provided by him and the work crew. Clean, neat and good service.

Our consultant was ROLAND, everything has been great, his communication is on point. He’s checked up on it. The installation was smooth. So far, I’m very happy with the work they are doing they’re fast. They’re clean great workers.

Semper Solaris is an outstanding company. I highly recommend and endorse for anyone that is looking for a new or replacement solar system and/or roofing project. This is rather a lengthy review that I will break into two parts due to the complexity of the project. Bottom line up front, five of five stars and highly endorse this company. When we purchased the house in 2010, the builder included a solar system using Eagle Solar Roofs with SolarBlend from Suntech. Although this was a smaller system, it worked fine until November of 2024 and stopped working. After receiving several quotes, I decided to go with Semper Solaris with the initial consultation with Rhami Hasenin, their account executive and energy consultant. Rhami is professional, friendly, super responsive and knowledgeable. With Rhami’s help during the consultation around energy needs in February, we decided to go with 16 new solar panels, a Tesla Powerwall 3 and replacing an old inverter to get the old system back online. Semper’s project team is friendly, communicative, and ensures all aspects of the project move forward in a timely fashion including the design phase, City permits, coordinating with SDG&E, and scheduling the crews for onsite installation. Stephanie is a key member of this team and was always very pleasant during scheduling interactions. The new system was installed in April. The crew was efficient and friendly. Unfortunately, we could not get the old solar tiles working so in the summer decided to move forward with phase 2 of the project. This entailed the removal of the old solar tiles, a complete overhaul of the back roof with Semper’s roofing team. I separately provided a review here Semper Home. Semper Solaris Roofing Field Director Christian Jimenez and his entire team are extremely professional, provide superior workmanship, and ensured the entire roofing project was completed to the highest standards. Here’s the benefit, the roofing team works hand in hand with the solar team for seamless project execution. Fast forward, the solar team finished phase 2 with seven new additional panels tied to the new inverter in November. A standout during this phase was Alex Balbuena. His knowledge of inverters and seamlessly integrating all the systems was incredible. In addition, Semper worked closely with SDG&E on the permit applications to ensure our home was grandfathered into NEM 1 status per the original agreements in 2010. I am grateful to all parties involved as this was an important part of the overall project plan. Due to the overall complexity of this project, there were times when senior leadership/ownership of Semper Solaris had to be looped in. I can say the ownership team is client centric and strives to “do the right thing” when issues arise. In hindsight, I think Rhami and I would both agree we would not have messed with the old panels in the original project plan. That said, Rhami’s patience and professionalism was highly appreciated over the entire project lifecycle in 2025. There were lots of unknowns and variables and Rhami delivered by helping me navigate this from start to finish. We have passed the final City inspection and the project has come to a positive conclusion. Semper Solaris is a fantastic company. A massive Thank You to everyone at Semper Solaris. This is one extremely happy customer!

Went with Semper Solaris to replace my roof and add solar. This review is only for the roof part since I am still waiting to hear about my solar install date. The roofing crew always arrived early and ready to work before expected which was a good sign for me. Christian Jimenez was the project manager for the roof project and he was always very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I felt very talented care of with Christian’s updates. Now I’m just waiting to hear from the solar team on when that will start. I was promised the solar install would be complete before the end of the year, so we will see.

Great job!

I just had my solar installed with Robert Cassidy and he was truly amazing. His customer service was excellent and he exceeded all of our expectations. Very happy with the installation and looking forward to our solar journey!

HAPPY

My Husband and I have been looking at solar for a while no but a few years ago it was not in the cards. The cost was to high and the timing was just not right. Over time we noticed or utility bill on the rise and it prompted us to look into it again. Our bill was $225 a month and slowly increasing. We met with 3 companies and out of those Semper was the one that stood out. We love the fact that this is a veteran owned company but we loved meeting the rep. Nic Afable explained everything to us and lowered our monthly payment by $60 bucks a month with a fixed payment. Once the system is paid off in 10 years, we won't have a payment anymore. That is amazing!

A smart decision

Very happy with the overall experience. Installation is first rate. Go with these guys and you will be happy.

Excellent sales experience

We met with 5 potential installers. Mark was by far and away the most straightforward. Not a hard sell and the best price of all 5. Looking forward to having Semper install our panels.

GOOD JOB

Looking for solar is not an easy task. There is so much competition in the marketplace. Being that I have a lot of family that are veterans, I decided to reach out to Semper Solaris after meeting with a few others. Our consultant (Nicolas Afable) was very professional. He explained how some panels are different and that not all warranties are the same. The level of knowledge that he had compared to the other companies really stuck out. His honesty and the reputation of the company led me to choose them. The process went really well and though there were some bumps along the way, Nic was always available. The ladies in the office were very helpful when it came to getting back as best as possible. It really shows their professionalism

Solar experts

I was very pleased with Semper Solaris and can't recommend them enough. Our sales rep Caesar was awesome he explained everything in great detail and answered any question we had. We talked to a handful of contractors and found him very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. The team were efficient, professional and did a great job. We had a very good experience and love our new system. I highly recommend them and so glad we switched to solar!!!!!

David Bell is great!

David spent a lot of time explaining and helping me setting up my monitoring system after the installation. He deserves a top rating. He is patient and extremely professional. You are lucky to have David in your employ!

Semper Fi & straight forward!

I initially called Semper Solaris because of their strong support of the military. However the job they did in providing a competitive estimate, sticking to the a construction schedule, always being available to answer questions and performing a quality roofing job, replacing the electrical box and dealing with city inspectors was totally professional. Robert Cassidy our Senior Sales consultant. He has to be the most ethical, well educated sales representative I have ever worked with. Rob treated me like he was selling to is mother, nothing but honesty and concern. I was so willing to buy more panels then we needed. He actually came back out, met with my wife and I, and educated me on why that was not a sound investment, but he would do as we wished. He just wanted me informed before I made a decision. I went with his advise and am very pleased. Offset at 90% of usage, and coming out of summer with a $250 credit I will need to burn by April 2019. My highest praise go our to Semper Solaris and I highly recommend them.

Love our solar!

Wanted to let Semper know we love our solar. Rob Cassidy was a great educator and the installation team was awesome. Had our first follow up and are pleased. Thanks!

Very Good

I bought a roof and solar panels from Semper Solaris because I really felt that they would take care of me, but I never really expect things to go without a hitch… So I gotta give credit where credit is due. All the guys were great, from Caesar to the rest of the crew. There’s a lot of horror stories out there about solar, but I definitely would recommend Semper. Thank you guys.

Went over and above Par

I am a retired homeowner on a fixed income and I'm tired of my SDGE bill skyrocketing during the summer and winter months. After comparing many good solar companies, I decided on Rhami and Semper Solaris. Rhami was very knowledgeable and really took the time to explain the entire process to me. I have called Rhami with many questions along the 7 week process and he answered my calls or got back to me that same day even after I signed the contract which means a great deal to me. Very impressed! He is always polite and professional and I really feel like he cares about my project. These guys really have great customer service and everyone I've dealt with from Semper Solaris has been great! The solar installation took 1 day and the crew was neat and picked up after themselves. They even answered my questions as they prepared to do the installation. Thank you Semper Solaris!

Solar and roof installation

I recently have had Semper Solaris install a new roof and solar system on my house. I would like to take this opportunity to express what a pleasure it was to have Ms. L. Poirier, the Semper Solaris representative present the companies approach to installing a new roof and solar panels. Ms. Laura Poirier demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of removal of our old roof including all of the precautions that the company would take as well as provided us a wide selection of roofing options including a description of their respective advantages and disadvantages. Ms. Poirier went over the stages of the of the roof installation process and how long each stage would take. The roofers who were assigned to the job were a marvel of efficiency and approached their demanding work with a goal toward early completion the roof. Before we selected Semper Solaris as our contractor my wife and I had talked to several roofers/solar installers and not one of the roof/solar presentations matched her professionalism and in-depth familiarity with roof/solar products available. Ms. Poirier’s presentation was thoughtfully put together and surprisingly included samples and stage models of interim products for clear visualization of staged work products. It was truly impressive. Each of Ms. Poirier’s view graphs was put together with great care with an intent to demonstrate how the company and its personnel knew every facet of their business and truly deserved our consideration. I have been an electronics/system engineer for the US Navy for over 47 years and I can unequivocally state that Ms. L Poirier’s presentation was one of the best presentations that I have ever seen, and in my career as a Command and Control systems engineer for the US Navy I have participated in a lot of presentations for proposed government contracts. After Ms. Poitier’s presentation we were absolutely convinced without a doubt that we had found the contractor we were looking for.

Rob and Jen Mira Mesa

Thank you very much Semper Solaris team. We had HVAC and Solar installed in March and April of this year. Both the HVAC and Solar installs went very smoothly cleanly and professional. Very happy ☺️

Dan Willett

Kris Morgan at Semper Solaris was extremely professional. He explained the process of what it would take to plan out my Solar System, while other companies did not have the time. He was very knowledgeable and communicated the whole way through. He answered every question I had along the way. I am thrilled with my choice to go with Semper Solaris, and happy Kris was my contact throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone interested in a Solar System.

Amazing service

This company was very good to my family and me. They installed my solar in a timely manner and it all works. Nick Afable was the rep that helped us. The main reason I signed with them is because he was honest about certain thing that other companies failed to mention. I would recommend doing your own due dilligence but this is an exceptional company hands down.

Solar Dream

Six months ago I purchased a home in S. California, Inland Empire, and have done a lot of work to pretty it up inside and out and also to cut down my expenses. A friend who is quite savvy recommended a great way to cut expenses on my home was to take a look at going solar to save on a big expense, electricity. My good friend who I trust told me to talk to Semper Solaris because they built a solar system for him that he raves about. I had heard about Semper before but I also found out they have a stellar reputation. I checked Yelp, Better Business Bureau and other sites and I could not find a negative word about the company. I like to research a company before I invite them into my house. My wife is a tough cookie so I told her to call Semper for information. A very personable young man, Blake Lewow came to talk with us. We found out the company is owned by former Marines and they have many Veterans that work there. That put us at ease from the getgo! The system he recommended and I purchased was 100 % American made and all work, every phase, was done by Semper, not a sub contractor which is very rare I found out. The whole process from start to finish was 3 weeks. I can not say enough about Blake Lewow and Semper Solaris. Absolute pleasure, the whole experience. I will be calling Blake back in a few months because besides Solar they also have a phenominal roo

So Happy

Semper Solaris helped me get solar for my house. I had a lot of questions, but I felt Caesar answered them best for me, and he even told me things than no-one else had. Price was good and it made sense. Still, I’m skeptical so I was still worried how the process would be. You know, after everything, I didn’t really do much and everything turned out great. Thank you guys for doing a great job. Looking back now, I wish I had done it sooner.

5 STARS

The team at Semper was amazing. Starting with the sales rep, Nic Afable came by and was very helpful. Although a bit more expensive than the competitor, He helped me to understand what I was getting into mor e than anyone else I spoke to. The install team was amazing and very efficent. I would refer Nic and his team to anyone

City of Highland Install

The people were great, as was the install. The communication between Semper Solaris and Southern California Edison was extremely quick, as it was allowed to be turned on in 2.5 days. The install looked great and the cleanup was impeccable. The unit has lots of built-in features and a good app (though my rate plan isn't in it). I am very pleased.

Last Visit

Mark Ivory was the Semper Solaris rep with whom we dealt. He was superb. He was professional, brief, yet very thorough. He had us sold from the start and the results were exactly as he had said they would be. This is an extraordinary company and Mark is a terrific rep for them. We are completely satisfied with what was done….on time, professional roofers, and a superb system. Our neighbors chatted with him the next day and are now proud owners of a system as well. I really recommend this company and Mark to start you off on the right foot: no pressure, just performance!!!
