Latest bad review thumbs down

PK | Solvang, California | 11/01/2024

Keep Looking

If you’re considering Solarponics for your solar installation, I’d encourage you to keep looking. It’s rare to come across a contractor that manages to disappoint in so many ways – bad at listening to what their customer wants, bad at communicating with them over the course of the project, bad at the technical side of things, and not that interested in providing follow-up service when installation mistakes crop up almost immediately. In Solarponics, you’ll find all of that. Ours was an all-around costly, frustrating and disappointing experience. I hope you never have to find out exactly how bad.

Great company. They set up our system so our electric bill averages less than $10 a month even with pumping water from our well and irrigating.

Well satisfied

The installation of my car charger was done while I was away simply because they had an opening earlier than originally planned. The crew was able to accomplish the entire project quickly and provided me with photos of the finished product. They matched exactly the plan earlier submitted. The told me how to get the system set up and working so that when I returned home I could immediately begin charging my car saving me from having to use commercial chargers as soon as I arrived. i was very happy with the whole process and results.

EV charger install

The experience was excellent. I was nervous as this was a new world to me as its my first EV. Dominic made the whole process smooth and educated me a long the way. He was very prompt and communicated with me effectively throughout the whole process. I also like that Solar Ponics is a local family owned company

Ford Mach E home charger installation

Aadi, the Solarponics customer service representative provided a clear picture of what the installation would involve. The Solarponics team showed up on time and completed the installation in a couple of hours. The installation team explained the city inspection process. Aadi followed up with a day and time for final inspection. Now waiting for this to occur this week. In the meantime, I’ve used the charger to refuel the Mach E overnight and charger performed as advertised. Very happy with results.

Solar purchase and installation

We were very impressed with the write-up in the monthly Paso newsletter and could tell this was a solar company different from others. From the first call with Ron, who took the time to explain everything, to the proposal, Ron's assistance with working with the County on the EV Charger rebate, the installation and then meeting in our home to review our PGE bill and help us understand the intricacies of the power we're not generating. This last consultation was educational and reinforced why we went with solar and Solarpoinics.

Solar Review

Phil was excellent in explaining how our batteries function, what to expect and our financial positives in regards to rebates. Our entire experience with Solarponics has been excellent. We have a large solar panel array and Tesla batteries that they installed. Everything works great and we have no electric bill or True Up charge!

Bella Montana Condo Homeowner | San Luis Obispo, California | 12/11/2023

Extraordinary Service

In mid Jan 2023... just 3 months before PG&E's NEM 2.0 grandfathered deadline... Solarponics was just 1 of 2 vendors willing to provide a feasibility study for our faculty condo development showing equitable allocation of solar roof space on 3 different building designs with 3-4 units each. This willingness to do so is even more impressive knowing that they would have to contend with 3 entities - Cal Poly Corporation that owns the ground sublease, HOA and external community property manager The Management Trust that didn't have an approval policy/process in place. Other vendors preferred working with homeowners that didn't have these constraints. Solarponics' Todd Burnett provided these studies on the preliminary visits with homeowners. He was also the ONLY sales person that called out the concern re: that “our roofs look tired.” That prompted us to check with our HOA and a roof inspector to find out the remaining useful life of the roofs. We appreciated the honesty up front so we can make an informed decision. Kudos to Todd and the Solarponics team for their EXTRAORDINARY patience with the HOA, The Management Trust and Cal Poly Corporation... which pushed installation timelines by 4-5 months beyond other homeowners. The installation of all 4 condos’ solar panels and inverters were completed over 2 days. The installation and the inspection went really smoothly. I highly recommend Todd and Solarponics team (Jake, JJ, Sal & install crew)!

Great experience with this company

We hesitated to hire Solarponics because they were more expensive than some other solar companies, but we are glad we did. We chose them in part because they are local to our area, and because we had heard good things about them. We bought solar, a battery, and a generator from them. All went smoothly and we had good experiences with the sales, installation, and service personnel. Recommended.

A bunch of great people

Very professional. Workers were friendly and knowledgeable and did excellent work. Solarponics modified the panel layout at our request so they were less visible from the street. They worked with our schedule and our installation date was actually moved UP so we could be home at that time. We have a flat roof. (Other companies had refused us). Solarponics follow-up support (regarding tax rebate and the solar-edge app) was also excellent.
