Latest good review thumbs up

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!

Latest bad review thumbs down

LHM | San Luis Obispo, California | 01/24/2015

Be Careful !

Their work is good, but be careful of thir billing. They will NOT give you an itemized billing for any of their work. I had previously negoteated a bill to parts only, and years later when I had them do more work, they added all of the previous invoice. I paid it, but I will NOT do busines with this company every again.

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.

I chose Solarponics because of the service and the fact they have been around a long time and were local. The service was always good - friendly, quick to respond, answered questions. Only slight issue is that they need to be more proactive in giving status updates when there is an expected delay (equipment availability, city, PG&E). They do cost a bit more than others but the service and experience makes it worth it.

5 Stars, so far...

Since our move to California we have watched the growth of the solar energy solution and we have studied it. After a friend's successful installation and referral we requested a meeting with Solarponics. Kristian Emrich provided a thorough overview and detailed presentation geared to our specific needs and expectations. In addition to his knowledge and patience answering our questions, his professionalism and personal manner were assuring, confidence building, and friendly. That he valued and expressed the standards of a family run business with best practices while also being associated with industry and quality leaders confirmed why he and Solarponics drew such an endorsement. The familie's long history in Solar solutions is also gratifying. When making an investment of this nature it is important to have solid confidence in the team. Emrich was straightforward and candid about the changing regulatory climate. In our estimation he is not only a good representative of Solarponics, but an ambassador for solar energy and the solar solution. We have begun the process to being a solar powered family and thus far we are 5 star pleased. As we used to say in my media career, stay tuned!

Good experience of them fixing their earlier failure

Justin and a helper came out to diagnose a problem with a system they installed some time ago. It turned out that when it was installed it was wired wrong by the folks from Solarponics who installed it initially. The good news is that Justin was patient and figured out the problem and corrected it. That is the 5 stars. The fact that it was wired up wrong by the same company orginially is a 1 star. This service visit was great, however.

Solarponics is a very good company

Solarponics(SP) has delivered on the promise to install the solar system we purchased. Though there were some problems with the tiles of our roof (they're old and brittle), SP replaced all of the broken tiles at their cost and delivered the final product very quickly. Our system is producing more power than we use, we're happy with the product, the installation and the customer service.
