Latest bad review thumbs down

Raquel Calderon | Fresno, California | 10/24/2025

Used to Be a Great Company-Not Anymore!

I’m extremely disappointed with Solar Negotiators and the lack of communication throughout my project. My project manager, Idalia Cruz, repeatedly brushed me off and seemed to have no idea what was going on with my installation. On our first call, she said she was waiting for clearance from my contractor about a structure on my property. I stayed on top of everything because my solar loan was already approved and sitting in my account .I didn’t want to start paying for something that wasn’t even installed yet. At one point, I was paying my full PG&E bill and the first payment on my solar loan, yet I still wasn’t even on the schedule …which is why I kept calling and following up so much. After checking with my contractor, I learned he had already emailed Solar Negotiators a week earlier and never received a response. Only after I made another call did someone else from the company finally reach out and get me scheduled. The installation itself went fine, but once it was done, my system still wasn’t turned on. When I called Idalia again, she dismissed my concerns and told me it takes “about 30 business days” for PG&E approval something I was never told before. A week later, PG&E approved it, yet my system was still off. When I called again, Idalia sounded annoyed and told me they needed two weeks to “monitor the system” before closing out the project. How can you monitor a system that isn’t even on? Two more weeks went by, and only on the FINAL day of my contract did someone finally come out to turn my system on. It’s now been two weeks since then, and I still haven’t had a closeout meeting. I’m a returning customer and have referred several people to Solar Negotiators in the past, but I won’t be doing that anymore. The customer service has gone downhill since my first experience in 2020. It feels like the company has grown too fast and can’t handle the number of customers they take on, which shows in the lack of communication and care. Save yourself the headache and go with a different solar company

Happy Customer With New Concerns

My intitial experience with the sales, installation, and performannce of the system has been good for the past four years. During this past spring my system quit reporting on a few panels on Ephase and I was alerted to check the system. I called to repor and it took about a month for a response and for the maintenace team to come out. The technician said the problem was fixed and the system was working properly. During the month of July the system got hot and one of the main breakers burned and failed. I was not aware that my system was working not working for most of July. I was not notified by the 24/7 monitoring I was promissed, and the result was a huge true up bill in August. I was not satisfied with the response and I asked for followup and an investigation into my true up bill. I have not had a satisfactory response other than being read conditions in my contract that apparently relieves Solar Negotiars from any compensation for their neglect of my system and their failure to adequately communicate with me and relieve my concerns. This once happy customer is wondering if the company is now taking the customer service path of the companies I did not want to deal with. Has anyone else had a similar incident.

Professional Service

What a wonderful company to do business with! Very courteous, punctual and professional. They did everything they said they would do and have been maintaining my system for over ten years now! Keep up the good work!

Not real happy

I’m sure I won’t win the $100 prize for this.. I’ve had solar for appx 5 years. First year was great. But every year after that I’ve had very high “True-up” fees. Did not expect that. We have not changed how we use power, keep the AC at 78/79 What has changed is the rate hikes from PGE. They are the pros at this and I feel they should have built my system to account for at least a few years of rate hikes. My current true-up is close to $1,400.00 which I have to pay this next month. So if you do get solar take into account the rate hikes!

Satisfied

From the first meeting until the system was turned on solar negotiators made it so easy. We absolutely love not having a power bill.

Great Sales Pitch, No Service | Visalia, California | 06/25/2024

Promised the Moon, Given a Flashlight

At first we were VERY happy.....good service, great explanation, as long as SN knew the answers to our questions. BUT, as soon as we asked questions they did not have answers, all communications ceased. Totally unhappy with Solar Negotiators. We looked around at different places and THOUGHT we had invested in the right Solar Company. We were fooled. They promised us the moon, and gave us a flashlight. The worst aspect of this entire process, is that Solar Negotiators did not understand how Southern California Edison worked and sold the panels under the premise that SCE worked like PGE...unfortunately they are not similar at all. Therefore, we have been charged a great deal more by SCE than we were led to believe by Solar Negotiators. Had we known beforehand that SN did not know the SCE process, we never would have used them.

Initial set up

It appears that we were not engineered with enough panels or batteries. The whole purpose of our solar was to reduce our PGE bill..it appears after two months that we are under producing or storing enough energy without pulling from the grid. This should have been figured out with our initial assessment. It appears with our current usage even with timing our use of appliances we will be off. I’m sure the solution will require an upscale with either additional Panels or batteries. Not “cool”

Best investment

This is my second summer with my solar, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to go with Solar Negotiators! I spent three months researching and talked to two other service providers. They were very upfront, answered all my questions and estimated amount of panels needed perfectly. I had no True-up my first year, and according to the reports, I am doing even better this year! I will have my system paid off in four years and they made it very affordable for me. As a single woman owning her own home, it’s really nice to be taken care of. I tell everyone considering to go solar, to talk with Solar Negotiators!! Thank you, thank you!!
