A+ Customer Service

We inherited a solar system on a home we recently purchased. During escrow, the system faulted and no longer produced any power by the time we took occupancy. Suffice it to say, conversations were extremely difficult to coordinate among our home seller, real estate agents, the solar installer, the solar manufacturer, the battery installer, and the battery manufacturer. Enter Mike Curtis of Solar Symphony who took the time to not only educate me on solar power systems but also organized the conversations among the previously mentioned parties resulting in the work I needed to be covered by warranty and completed quickly by capable technician. Many thanks to Mike and everyone on the Solar Symphony team!

Good Installation - Horrendous post installation service

Solar Symphony installed my solar system in June 2023. I'd give the installation a C since there was a problem on the first day of start up that I had to call about, but it was resolved pretty quickly. I paid cash for the system, and made payments to Solar Symphony exactly when they asked for them. My system incudes the Enphase monitoring app that recently began showing an error message that included contacting Solar Symphony for help. I first contacted them on May 23, and have contacted them 8 times since because although the "Customer Service Manager" said he would get back to me about setting up the Tech to come onsite and diagnose the problem, he never did so. I hired another firm to perform the diagnostics and Solar Symphony has placed a line from my solar panels in my "consumption" line, so all my consumption readings are wrong and I can't monitor my sytem. All they have to do is come and fix their faulty installation, but they don't respond. I'm of course very sorry I ever chose this contractor to install my system - they have good reviews for installation, but poor service reviews, so make sure you check both if you are considering having them install a system for you.

Excellent customer service, install, and pricing.

I couldn't be happier with Solar Symphony. Every step was handled with speed, care, attention to detail, and zero pressure. I bothered my sales rep for months asking every question known to man, redoing my design and needs, and never once did I sense any frustration. Once I was ready they offered me financing recommendations, and immediate installation options. The handoff from sales to operations was world-class and I continue to get responses from the entire team (even during COVID-19 pandemic!) in less than an hour and often immediately. I was really nervous about who I'd choose knowing all the scams out there, and I'd highly recommend this crew to anyone! Solar Symphony has reset the bar for what I expect from a company I'm paying services too.

Solar Symphony is a PRO team

Solar Symphony is Professional, Responsive and Organized Solar Symphony was referred by our neighbor who was very pleased with the job they did on his project. Our experience was also good. From the initial contact through the installation, all team members were professional and focused on completing our project on schedule. From the onset, the process was outlined in detail so we knew what to expect and we received prompt replies to our questions. Moreover, we received proactive emails and telephone calls to keep us updated. It was obvious from prompt responses that there was good communication between members of the team. Solar Symphony did a very good job for us and we would refer them with confidence to friends and neighbors. They are real PROs.

True Professionalism

IMO character of a business in service industry is most important when there are exceptions or things are not going as expected/planned. Working with Solar Symphony has been an amazing experience from start to end. They assigned a professional to take you through every step and they were always on or ahead of schedule. We worked with Rachel, and she was always quick to respond and even during holidays. There is never a push for payment. Prices are very competitive and quality is awesome. We are very happy with Solar Symphony.

Jane1100 | 03/01/2018

Exceptional company!

Best solar company in San Diego! Our installation processs was seamless. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Mark, Bethany, and Alberto made this experience amazing!

Boyer Residence 2016 installation

In the 18 months since I contracted Solar Symphony to install solar panels on my residence, I have been very satisfied with their performance. Mike Curtis accurately rated the system (25 panels) for my roof and residence, reducing my annual electrical bills from $3200 to about $150. Their estimate for system pay off at about 4 years (after federal tax credit) is holding true. Their app is very useful for monitoring output on a daily, weekly, monthly, annual or instantaneous basis. This project coincided with a roof replacement and their coordination with the roofer was seamless. And even though I did not expect it, I received a $500 check from Solar Symphony for referring my neighbor to them last year.

Quick, efficient and professional

Working with Solar Symphony was a complete pleasure. A client of mine hired Solar Symphony to do his residential solar installation and he gave them rave reviews so I contacted them. They were about 30% cheaper than the major players - you know, those guys with the huge sales staff bugging you every time you enter Home Depot or Lowes. The system was affordable enough that we were able to cover our entire electric bill with a system that would pay off in under five years. Much better than any lease. Once we gave the green light, we went from signing the estimate to turning the system on in about 30 days. Most of it was waiting for the city to do their inspection. Installation was two days. The team was professional, courteous and quick. These guys really have their act together and are quite efficient. I recommend Solar Symphony to ANYONE who is thinking about going solar. After you are done, you will run your A/C with no worries and rest easy knowing you just got rid of your electric bill and protected yourself from future pricing increases. These guys rock!

LisaH | CA | 11/22/2016

Best contractor I have ever worked with!

If I could give them more stars I would. The whole process: from signing the contract to final approval from Edison and watching my meter go backwards took all of 3 weeks! Seamless installation, very friendly crew. There was a question on whether the inverter they provided me was going to be expandable for the future and it was determined that while yes, it was expandable for a few more panels it was not big enough for the potential increase of 10 more panels that I foresee doing in the future. They immediately put in an order for the larger unit at no extra charge! Everyone was very good at explaining any questions I had. They were even good about rescheduling my final walkthrough to receive my paperwork when I went on vacation. I will most definitely be telling anyone that will listen to give Solar Symphony a call and ask for Mike Curtis to come talk to them. He is so informative and not pushy at all. I can't say enough about the whole company. Be sure to include them as one of your calls for a quote. You will not be disappointed. The customer service of this company exceeds any I have ever had. Add in the competency of the installers and no pressure sales, you've got a winner! I custom built my house back in 2010 and dealt with every contractor imaginable. I wish everyone had the same attitude as Solar Symphony.

La Costa Josh | 11/06/2016

Very professional and competitive pricing

I checked out several different solar companies before making my decision. I was really impressed with the representative from Solar Symphony when he came by our home to give us a quote. He was not too pushy, very honest and knowledgeable. Once I received the quote, it came in as the second lowest among five quotes that I received. Then, once I decided to move forward the process was smooth and they got the system installed and working pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend this installer.

Delivered Exactly What They Said On or Ahead of Time Each Step

As a 31 year military veteran, my life has been dominated by a "walk the walk" type of mentality. Don't tell me you can do it, show me you did it. Solar Symphony embodies exactly that approach. I started my solar project with two other companies (the planning) and left each because the actions weren't matching the words. I was being handled by salesmen who didn't know rudimentary things such as if the tax credits come off the top or bottom line which is a huge deal and indicative of their focus. Our PM was Mike Curtis and he always answered his phone, was completely knowledgeable, and very fastidious. He never told me one thing that he contradicted later whereas that was my experience with two other companies (and ones I did not seek by random draw...I read reviews and did homework first so they theoretically should be strong companies). Add to all I've said, they finished ahead of schedule with both install AND certification. Finally, they worked with me on ensuring my production requirements were met and I didn't keep hearing, "you can only exceed existing use by 10%" as I want to build a pool and also buy an electric car. Bottom line is they are rock solid and you can't go wrong with this company.

Happy Solar Symphony Customer

We are very happy with our Solar system from Solar Symphony. This field is crowded with many companies, based on my research we decided to go with a local company and could not be happier. The system is delivering what was promised and was considerably chaeper than their competitors. The people are professional and courteous and want to ensure the customer has a great experience, ehich we did

I normally do not write reviews, but this is the exception!

I normally do not write reviews, but decided to jump in and add to the growing group of satisfied customers because I want folks to know about this small company competing in a huge solar-inundated industry.  Read the comments here and you will see that folks are very pleased with the price, product and work.  I have a insane habit of overanalyzing projects before I pull the trigger.  I received bids from almost a dozen solar companies and ended up with a clear winner.....Solar Symphony.  They listened to my wants and needs, then designed a system with quality materials that fit.  I had a new roof installed in conjunction with rail bracket installation and because the concrete Spanish tile was brand-new (green) I had tile breakage.  Solar Symphony stepped up and fixed it to my satisfaction without hesitation.  Their words to me were "what would you like us to do because we want you to be happy".  Their concern was centered in customer satisfaction AND making it right.  I was impressed and I am not impressed easily.  I do not anticipate selling my home, but if I do I will use Solar Symphony for my next solar project.  Do yourself a favor and call to get a bid.  I predict you will see for yourself the quality of their service and sincere desire to build you a system tailored to you and not some once-size- fits-all system.  Solar Symphony, through their demonstrated work-ethic and customer service, as earned my trust and support.

d.l | CA | 08/04/2016

the best from the sales

The best...from the sales pitch to the install everything was professionally handled...couldnt be any more happier from the job that Solar Symphony did and would highly and i mean highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in a solar system…

r.d | CA | 08/01/2016

The best experience possible

We had experience with solar panels at our previous house and so knew what we wanted. We saw Solar Symphony working on our neighbors' houses and liked how they worked.  We then asked for a bid and got amazing personal service.  Less than 6 weeks after first starting the project the system is running well.  We compared at least 2 other bids and Solar Symphony beat them.

Great Solar Install

We had a great experience with Solar Symphony. The crew was professional and did an awesome job with the installation. After 7 months the system has been running without a hiccup and we are really happy with everything. Thanks Solar Symphony!

r.g | CA | 07/22/2016

I´m very happy with Solar Symphony

Solar Symphony was referred to me by my pool contractor Tom Ethans (I also wrote a review of his company). I called Tom for a question about my pool pump, happened to mention that I wasgetting solar bids and he recommended that I give Solar Symphony a call. Tom said Solar Symphony was installing the system at his house. I ended up connecting with Mark Nelson of Solar Symphony. Mark was great to deal with. He was very reachable and responsive to all my questions, no hard sell -- but simply provided me the information I felt I needed to make a decision that I can be happy with. His quote wasbetter than two other bids that I was seriously considering. I was able to reach two of the client references Mark gave, and the references had great feedback (and one taught me a couple of things to consider, too, with regards to my project and contractor selection) Once I signed the contract, the office -- Paula and Summeur -- informed me throughout on the status of my project. My questions were addressed timely and to my satisfaction. They ran into issues getting the permit and the plans approved by my city. That part of the process took longer than I expected, but then again, I know my city can be picky based on prior work done at my house. Then actual installation began. Henry was the project manager -- - he's awesome! Again, another Solar Symphony personnel who made me feel well taken cared off. He even tried to help me troubleshoot an unrelated electrical issue at my house while waiting for the City Inspector to come instead of just waiting and doing nothing. It rained while they were doing the installation and it was cold. Yet, they finished in the time period they estimated before rain began, i.e., three days. They are now helping me with net metering with the SCE.  I'm very happy with my experience with Solar Symphony and I would strongly recommend anyone looking into solar to not make a decision without first talking to them.

Solar system owner

It's been about a year since Solar Symphony installed our system. We chose Solar Symphony because we saw our neighbors get their system installed and met the folks doing the installation - Solar Symphony. From the moment my wife and I asked for their business card we had a most satisfying experience. Everyone we dealt with was prompt, professional and extremely helpful in making the final decisions on our system. Their design of the solar panel layout was amazing, as the final result makes the installation unobtrusive on our roofline. The output is exactly as predicted and the system has performed flawlessly. Anytime we had questions or needed a small adjustment the team at Solar Symphony promptly took care of us. We would definitely use them again and recommend them highly to everyone interested in a solar system.

k.crumbo | CA | 07/14/2016

Great Team!

From the person on the phone, Sumer to the salesman mark to the installers to the towers this is a top notch all together comapany. If you are thinking solar this would be your very best bet. It was for us. We interviewed three others and they had a hard time explaining their product. Mark really knows his stuff.

t.c | CA | 07/08/2016

Really a great company

Really a great company. They had a very good price and the quality of the workmanship was excellent. I was very happy with the communication from the office. The guys doing the installation were very patient and kept me informed at every step. I would highly recommend these folks.

M.F | CA | 07/01/2016

Awesome job

FROM START TO FINISH, THIS COMPANY KNOWS THE MEANING OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE ROB, THE INSTALLERS, AND ESPECIALLY SUMMER IN THE OFFICE WERE VERY, HAD A KEEN EYE FOR ATTENTION TO DETAIL, AND NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WAS ASKING DUMB QUESTIONS. WOULD RECOMMEND SOLAR SYMPHONY TO EVERYONE THINKING OF GOING SOLAR. MY WIFE AND I ARE VERY SATISFIED!

mnmasotto | 06/28/2016

Solar Syphony

I had Solar Symphony design and install a 10.3 KW solar system for my two story home in Irvine, CA. I chose to use the LG335 panels (31 total). I received quotes from three other highly rated companies. When comparing apples to apples they were the least expensive. From start to finish the process was seemless. They were very good working with the Association and navigating through all their bureaucratic red tape. They always had someone at the house to help walk the local governemtn inspectors through the inspection precess. Ultimately, the job was finished in less than 3 weeks without a hitch.

t.graham | CA | 06/24/2016

Excellent!

Every member of their staff was professional, friendly, and knowledgable and the pricing was great too! I strongly recommend this company if your considering photovoltaic systems.

JR5515 | 06/23/2016

Great job!

Solar Symphony did a FANTASTIC job. The process was easy and well managed. Never had to follow up they were so proactive and delivered ahead of schedule. Thanks!

Mike D123 | 05/23/2016

Excellent and Responsive Company

So far the solar system has been working great! We are well overproducing (which I like)! Thank you all for being so expedient with your installation and authorization-to-use! I've talked to other people who have gotten solar through other companies and they tell me it takes significantly longer (we are talking several months) to have theirs installed and up and running. I am very happy with the way everything turned out, thank you all for working with me on this project! I know I was asking a lot!

SOLAR INSTALLITION

IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, I WOULD GIVE SOLAR SYMPHONY 10 STARS. FROM THE SALESMAN, ROB, TO THE INSTALLERS, TO ESPECIALLY SUMMER IN THE FRONT OFFICE, THIS COMPANY IS PROFESSIONAL, SHOWS ATTENTION TO DETAIL, AND VERY HELPFUL. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT INSTALLING SOLAR PANELS.

Samwise | 03/14/2016

Excellent, Start to Finish!

There are so many solar companies, that it is hard to choose. After thorough research, learning, and conversing, we chose Solar Symphony and were very pleased with the entire process, from start to finish. Personnel were professional, and patient, kind, educators, too. Our requests for specific equipment were honored, and the price was fair.

Danmelroy | 02/26/2016

Dependable

I had a large ground mount system installed but Solar Symphony. They did a fantastic job. Great communication. They kept me informed at every step. The workmanship was very good. Dealing with Summuer and Paula in the office was a real pleasure.

DIY Junkie | 02/24/2016

Outstanding in every way!!

I was extremely impressed with Solar Symphony who installed my 9.3KW system in Sept 2015. Don't waste your time evaluating any others - Solar Symphony rocks! (I will mention this upfront - Just in case you think this review is too good to be true its not and I am not getting paid for it - I have a lot of experience hiring contractors, handymen etc. for various jobs large and small. There guys are one of the best if not the best I have come across in my dealing in San Diego in 20 years!) I am an engineer, heavy DIY'er and did all the research already for all the companies you would likely look at in San Diego or Orange county. There is no comparison - see my details notes here if you have any doubts. They were: - highly professional in all aspects - respectful of my property - very competitively priced and extremely flexible in terms of payment amounts vs. milestones across the duration of the projects - honest and transparent - 2 days for installing 36 panels!! Yes 2 days only - great follow up - went out of their way to research some specific request I had - took initiative where necessary to minimize my time required I researched 7 different companies some big and some small across San Diego area. I chose Solar symphony for the following reasons: - cheapest by far (same panels/inverters setup from others were 20% more $!) - fully transparent, non pushy sales approach - more flexible on payment amounts across different milestones of the projects vs any other company - local company with guarantee of backup funds in case things go wrong in several years - best warranties of all companies on roof work, solar panels Extra things they did above and beyond (and not done by other companies for my neighbors who used some other companies) - did extra work for me without cost (researched local monitoring solution, rewired inverter connection to plug in via wired Ethernet vs. wireless only to my router for data monitoring) - took initiative to paint all conduit to match house and roof, tile stucco color themselves (did not ask me for paint etc.) and did an excellent job that I would be proud of myself. - I am a big DIY guy and the job they did was very professional and very secure racking for the panels, nicely uniform setting of the panels and discussed with me at my house before making any changes some slight changes of the layout they thought maybe good vs. original layout on drawings - Priority for them was on a good install and satisfied customer. Second was the payment.... shows where they focus is on customer service - EXCELLENT. I have recommended them already to several friends and neighbor vs. any other company in San Diego like Baker, Sullivan, Petersen Dean, Semper Solaris, Solar Alliance, Helio Power, etc. (I evaluated all of them and being and engineering Solar Symphony was by far the best). My system has been up for 4 months now and operating flawlessly and 0 issues of any sort.

Happy Solar owner

Very pleased with the whole company. Workers were very professional, customer service was great. Would highly recommend this company to my friends.

Solar Symphony

My wife and I were very pleased with Solar Symphony. All our contacts with the company were quite professional. The entire process was much quicker than I thought and proceeded without any glitches. I would highly recommend this company to prospective customers.

ArGee | 12/30/2015

8.8KW Install in Oceanside CA

Solar Symphony installed a 28 LG panel, 8.8KW Solar Edge optimizer and inverter system for me and did what I consider to be a first rate job. They were punctual, thorough, efficient, professional and a real pleasure to work with. (My team was lead by "Juan"). I can recommend them highly and without reservation.

Goodolbill | 11/11/2015

Very Happy

Very happy with the Solar system installed by Solar Symphony. Summeur was a jewel to work with and kept me abreast of all activities and schedule changes. Got quotes from multiple companies but Solar Symphony had the most detailed quote and used better products. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

dodger | 10/30/2015

Overall Great Experience

knowledge, customer focus, flexibility was top notch. Dave my installer was extremely professional, a great resource and he went out of his way to install the best system that was physically possible. The Program Management office were very efficient, keep informed every step of the way and were quick to get my system scheduled. Once my permits were received, my construction day was scheduled within a week and my installation was done in 3 days without a problem or issue. I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of the system and would highly recommend using Solar Symphony for your Solar needs.

nrubin | 09/01/2015

Great Value and Excellent Customer Service

Not only did Solar Symphony provide one of the most competitive quotes for an excellent solar system but they had excellent customer service and very fast installation! I highly recommend at least getting a quote from them.

MtpktS | 07/31/2015

Awesome Experience!

First, I am an IT project manager who was an electrician in his 20's. I knew solar was a "no-brainer", but making an informed choice on which company to use is hard work. I looked at it for over a year and I did my homework. I decided on Solar Symphony b/c they'd also done their homework. The equipment was right. The engineering design was right. The price was right. The references checked out. From the point I signed the agreement, they got the designs, permits, installed, inspection, and had PTO in less than 60 days. I might have gotten lucky on the timing, but clearly couldn't be happier with my system and how smoothly things went. Highly recommend!

SNL | 07/21/2015

The Gold Standard

In deciding to install solar panels on our new house, we followed a strict criteria for vendor selection. They needed to be very professional, widely recognized as reputable, highly qualified to undertake the project, and provide the best knowledge and value for the equipment involved. Solar Symphony epitomizes each of these core values. Rob has surrounded himself with a GREAT team: Mike was fantastic in overseeing the project, Summeur coordinated with complete transparency and assurance, Henry was a pleasure to interface with during the install, and his team Brett, Aaron, Joey, and Graham were commendable with their workmanship/professionalism. Solar Symphony were put up against multiple bids from Solar City, Verengo, and various other local vendors; they put them all in the back seat by exemplifying every core value I mentioned above. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Solar Symphony because in this space, they're in the driver's seat.

kmeaux | 07/15/2015

Solar

I recently purchased a solar system from solar symphony. They are a low sales pressure company that offers a great product at a great price. They are also very friendly and nice to work with. I am very pleased with my system and would highly recommend them to anyone in the marketplace searching for solar.

Selllhi | 07/09/2015

Excellent experience from start to finish!

We did our research and consulted with several other solar companies before we finally decided to have Solar Symphony install our system. After reading plenty of horror stories people experienced with other companies, we feel very lucky to have picked them. From the initial meeting with Mark to all the hand-holding by Summeur, the flawless installation and Mike’s help with the SDG&E permit – everything went smoothly and they were very professional and pleasant to work with. The install job was very neat and they completed the work ahead of time. We couldn’t be any more pleased! We now understand why all those online reviewers gave them a five star rating! You cannot go wrong choosing Solar Symphony for your solar purchase. They deliver a great product at a competitive price and they provide excellent customer care and service.

inimc | 07/07/2015

Excellent ....

Solar Symphony was the best company I have worked with.... Maybe ever. From the first meeting to give us a bid to the last meeting to show us how the system works, the professionalism and customer service was exemplary. They performed more work with better components for less money than any of the Companies we contacted. Their staff kept us abreast of the paperwork and permit progression. Helped us with our portion of the paperwork. Stayed on schedule with installation (early in fact). Performed professional installation including special mounts for a Spanish tile roof. In all...... EXCELLENT!! Ps. make sure to ask them about the HERO program.

sharonlm | 06/27/2015

Great company

I was impressed from start to finish with Solar Symphony. Their product is first rate and their people are professional, timely, knowledgeable and helpful. First, talking on the phone with Robert, he was able to tell me initially based on my electricity bill whether or not going solar was financially a gain for me. Second, Mark, our area's representative, came prepared, was knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. Clearly, four our family, going solar was a win. Doing it now was calculated because of the big rebates currently available and net metering. The whole process was fairly quick, from start to finish, and the actual installation took only one day plus a couple of hours the next morning to finish up a few small things. The inspection process by the city was smooth. I was really glad we did not go with a PPA or a leasing company for solar. Our solar will be paid off within 5 years and then we will be enjoying free (or close to it) electricity for another long time! Yahoo! Solar Symphony is a great company that stands behind their product and if you do have any minor hiccups (we did with our mapping), they fix them very quickly and do whatever it takes to make things right. I highly recommend them.

Blaise | 06/23/2015

Exceptional from Start to Finish

Where do we begin... From the top to the bottom Solar Symphony has professionals at every point in the process. Not only did they have the best cost for our particular system, but they went above and beyond at every level. We had several conversations from sales, operations, and the owner and found them to be extremely polite, courteous, honest, responsive and flexible. In addition to setting up the traditional solar, they were able to accommodate my request to install a 240 Volt Charger for our Ford Focus EV. I am the epitome of Analysis Paralysis and finding the right solar company was no exception. After sitting down or talking to 9 different providers, I quickly realized there were two camps: PPA [20-yr lease] pushers and IMO the better option, solar purchase. I was interested in buying the system and obtaining a low interest rate 10 yr loan (Home Equity or Solar) with monthly payments that were lower cost to than our average monthly electric bill. So we were down to about 4 companies that actually wanted to sell the system without leasing. BTW I checked what it would cost to buy the equivalent system from those PPA leasing companies and it turns out it was about a 30-50% premium. yikes. Don't get me wrong, PPAs may make sense for folks who do not have the cash or means to get a low interest long term loan. After narrowing to 4 companies, I then had two friends recommend Solar Symphony, but I already had 4 solid quotes from 4 great solar companies, so I was a little skeptical. Mark, one of Solar Symphony's account managers, was extremely professional and cut through the bologne. He's able to converse on all levels, but I wanted to know the details basically how much, how long, and when. The major botteleneck in 'how log' as one would suspect is the power company SDGE. Their quote was the best in our case and they agreed to flexible payment options and installing the EV charger at cost. Obviously don't just trust these rave reviews, Go and get quotes from the reputable solar companies and I strongly believe you will find Solar Symphony to the be the lowest cost, highest quality/service companies in San Diego! Thanks Solar Symphony, I no longer pay any electrical bills for the house or my commuter EV car. Our break even is shorter than I expected ~ 6.5 years. AWESOME SAUCE!

1970aztec | 06/12/2015

net metering bill only $46.66

I just received by end of year statement from SDG&E. With the net metering, my total electric bill for this past year was only $46.66! I am very happy with the results. Solar Symphony delivered what they promised!

All done as promised

We looked at installing solar for about eight months.Talk to many different solar companies almost went with a competitor that promised A better price then Solar Symphony for the same product when it came time to sign the contract they couldn't deliver (Verengo). Rob Smith was upfront with everything we feel we got a great price for a great product . Dave Adams was in charge of the installation and it went very smooth on time work around my schedule very professional Dave and his whole crew. I would say if you are looking for Solar definitely give them a call and find out what they can do we have nothing but good things to say about Solar Symphony.

Great experience

Great experience. I found solar symphony after looking around a lot, and scanning forums online. The cost was way better than competitors and the workmanship seems great. They met all promised timelines and they even absorbed the cost when my system needed to be a little larger than first calculated. Make sure to compare them to any solar quote you receive as I did. I am very paranoid about getting ripped off and know I got a great deal.

Best decision!

I'm so pleased with this company. I was leery about choosing a solar company after hearing other people's bad experiences. They have been professional, courteous & reassuring. There was always someone that would answer my numerous questions that I had during the process. I definitely would recommend them to my family and friends. I wouldn't chose another company if I had to do it all over again. The only thing I would tell someone who lives in my district is that it takes the city quite awhile to inspect and approve the system.

Review

Solar Symphony installed a 13.75kW system and they delivered on their promise of a quick installation, even with the County of San Diego and SDG&E having to be involved. The system is everything they said it would be and the price was far below the advertising competition. Solar Symphony was referred to me by a very happy customer and I referred them as well. Great Job SS, Thank you, Howard A., Descanso, CA

Good value, good install, good service

I decided years ago to do solar but it never penciled out and the most I can get on my roof was about half my usage. Technology has advanced and new panels are more efficient and while prices may have not gone done, electric rates have gone up about 50% for me in the past 2 years so if your on the fence, now is the time to do. Payback is about 4-7 years which is pretty good. So why Solar Symphony? I had about 5 bids and pretty much knew what I wanted in terms of capacity, panel brand (LG) and inverter brand (SMA) and most sent out sales people of questionable knowledge of the systems. Solar Symphony actually was the first that came out that really knew their stuff and it didn't hurt that their prices for the equipment that I got were also lower. They did the design and sent it off for city approval which took a few weeks. They then came out to install and that took a few days but another week or so to get city inspection and another few weeks to get power company permission to operate. Overall the experience was very good and I would recommend Solar Symphony for price, quality of work, knowledge of the product and quality of equipment. I look forward to many years of free electricity.

Excellent Company!! They have my strongest recommendation!!

When we decided to go solar we researched about 10 companies in our area. We met with sales representatives from three different companies. From the first encounter with the sales representative, through the install, to the point of training on how to monitor the equipment we have been quite satisfied with Solar Symphony. Unlike some of the other sales representatives, the Solar Symphony sales representative did not attempt any “high pressure” techniques to make a sale that day. He presented the company, their product, service and support information in a factual and confident manner without disparaging any other company. At the end of the presentation he told us that we had as much time as we need to decide. The sales representative allowed the data and reputation of the company make the sale. Price was also a consideration when making our decision, as well as confidence that we would be receiving value for the price. Solar Symphony described in detail how they select their panels, how and where on the house the panels will be installed. They also gave the breakdown on the relative cost of various types of panels and their conversion rates. The price quoted at the beginning of the conversation was the one at the end of the conversation and the one that made it to contract. In contrast to one of the other San Diego based companies which came in with an initial quote 65% higher than that of Solar Symphony and throughout the discussion competitor’s sales representative kept providing financial incentives to go with them. This went on to the point where the initial quote had no basis in reality. I had the confidence with Solar Symphony that the quote I received was a fare price. The install went over without a hitch. It took place on the day and time agreed upon. The staff was courteous, timely and respectful. Solar Symphony took care of all the inspections. All we had to do was wait for the system to be approved by the city and activated. I have nothing but good things to say about the company and the employees who work there. I would recommend Solar Symphony to anyone considering installing solar panels on their homes.

Choose the right Solar Electric Installer

I talked to a half dozen Solar Electric imstallers and conducted 3 on-site interviews that included a cost proposal and system reccomendations. As a result of my vetting process I signed a purchase and instalation contract with North San Diego County based Solar Symphony. Here's why.....I spoke via phone several times with owner Rob Smith and conducted an on-site intervew with Solar Consultant Mark Nelson. The most key factor that led to choosing Solar Symphony to work with was that I senced these guys possessed integrity. I did an "apples to apples" cost comparrision with 2 other companies and it turned out that my choice to go with Solar Symphony also saved me a nice amount of money. Start to finish, my system was completely installed in 4 days and it only took the Solar Symphony team another 3 days to facilitate my connection to SDG&E's grid. If you're considering the purchase of a Solar Electric System my advice is you should definitely talk to Rob Smith or Mark Nelson at Solar Symphony.
