Latest bad review thumbs down

Didier B Follain-Grisell | Delray Beach, Florida | 10/11/2025

Inverter failed for the second time

System was installed in 2017, first time the inverter failed in April 2025 i had a hard time getting anyone to answer the phone at Solar Tech. I had to find a local company that works with or is a authorized dealer/technician with Solar Edge. An appointment was made and two weeks later the tech diagnosed the Inverter being bad. in telephone conversations between the tech and Solar Edge he had to remove almost half of my 30 panels as requested by Solar Tech and get to connections then reconnect everything on the roof. Solar Tech then agreed that the inverter had to be replaced. Inverter is under warranty and showed up in a week. Of course I had to pay the Tech for all that work and remove and install new inverter at the tune of $1,900. I was back on line quickly but had to pay for 4 weeks of Florida Power electricity and pay for my loan on the system as well. Now 5 months later the Solar Tech inverter failed again in Sep 2025 according to same tech i used before. He showed up promptly and Solar Tech had him troubleshoot and quickly agreed Inverted had failed. This time it took three weeks for the inverter to show up. I am expecting it in a few days. Again, I will be out of solar power for another 4 weeks and I am still paying for the remainder of my solar system loan. Equipment indicated below is original equipment.

We had a great experience with Solar Tech. Our installer, Reg, was incredibly kind, professional, and informative. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood the process. His work was very neatly done, and the installation looks great. We’re very happy with the service and would definitely recommend Solar Tech to anyone considering solar

I highly recommend Solar Tech

Solar Tech recently installed a storage battery for my solar system. They have been very helpful from the start. They kept me informed about the process every step of the way. The technicians were friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions and gave me the help I needed to understand the app. They are very professional. I highly recommend Solar Tech.

Bad install and no support from solar tech

We had solar tech come out for an installation. They never tighten the screw in the junction box that controls adding power to the home and back to the grid. Every day this solar box shorted out. We emailed and called for over 2 months to get someone out to troubleshoot. I had to fight with the tech to get them to come out and fix it. I was told there is no way it is a system issue. I escalated to sunpower and they finally came out. The first tech did not find the problem. I had to go through the calling and emailing again until they sent a better tech. He checked the box and found the screw was never tightened and causing a daily short. Our power bills were large due to summer rates and no solar. Also, they told us everything was fine when it was not. Now, they will do nothing to compensate us and ignore emails and calls. Don't use this company

Reply from SolarTech Inc: Thank you for your review David. We did listen to your concerns and came out to investigate the problem. It was found to be an issue with your main panel, a loose screw, and after our investigation process we did pay you back by check for your loss of solar production. We take care of our customers when we find something that we did to cause an issue, in this case we made it right for you.

Poor technical knowledge, brut installers, and delayed service

1 because I have to leave a review. They are unprofessional, misguiding customers JUST to get business, poor work quality and ethics. Over a year to install Tesla Powerwall without any updates, stating their installers are construction workers and are not skilled to do clean work and so customers have to put up (see pictures). Designing critical loads w/o customer involvement as customers find half backed up critical load at power-outages. When reported to Solar Tech project manager Paul L, one finds him angry and mad that customers are reaching out to him post installation, asking for $500 a circuit. Gino S, is their sales rep, falsely assuring customers to lure contracts. After giving Gino business for first 2 powerwalls, I went with LA Solar for other 2 power walls, and no issues. In fact, they don't collect any funds and whole thing is funded by SGIP. Keep away from Paul and Gino at Solartech who bring shame to others at SolarTech

Reply from SolarTech Inc: This is clearly taking advantage of a small business posting the same bad review on multiple sites when this was not what happened. We have tried to listen to your requests, but your constant profanity and belittling has hindered us from helping you. We communicated with you throughout every step in the process. Gino let you know this was a partial back up not a whole home back up, that is why you are now in the process of buying 2 more Tesla Powerwall’s for your home. The home has a 400 amp service panel, the (2) Powerwall’s are only able to put out 50 amps combine which is why it needed to be partial home backup. The length of time was due to COVID and delay in attaining the product which you were notified about. We communicated with you on the drywall cuts, we were told to leave them. We have crew ready to repair cuts like that, that is a normal part of the work we do daily. Paul is knowledgeable and helpful as a Service Manager. SolarTech has been in business for over 20 years helping Californian’s power their homes and businesses. We have tried to explain to you after multiple conversations, and site visits, that this was a partial back up of your 400-amp panel. An entire 200-amp sub-panel has been backed up for your critical loads and any additional circuits that you wanted re-located were never mentioned to us until recently-6 months after the installation has been completed. We don’t work in fear of bad reviews.

Warranty Issues

My wife and I have purchased panels through SolarTech twice now. Their customer service as far as sales and installation are top notch. Their customer service in regards to warranty issues though leaves much to be desired. They blame you, they blame SunPower, and don’t return calls. It got to the point where I had to file a formal complaint against them through SunPower. In the first 10 months our panels were installed we had 2 separate warranty issues. The first issue took 5 weeks for them to resolve. SolarTech has 2.33/5 stars on the Better Business Bureau website. Check out the reviews there, they are almost identical to ours.

Reply from SolarTech Inc: Thank you for your review. We appreciate your repeat business. Education is upmost importance when installing solar. We recall your first solar system installation working well and continues to. As discussed with your new home, not having any electric bills to create a baseline was one speed bump we ran into. We strategized with you to create a system you liked and approved for install based on your usage at the time. When the monitoring went down, we were notified and were working with SunPower to work through updates. At the same time, we saw your energy consumption go up with the new pool and spa. Once the system was fixed and back on-line, we were then able to monitor and see your new consumption level, further with COVID, people home more and more consumption than expected. As previously discussed over phone conversation, SolarTech is not responsible for credits you may have accumulated while your monitoring is down. We do still advise you need to add more panels to your system to accommodate the new electric usage you are experiencing. We apologize for any misunderstanding and hope you understand the situation. Thank you for your business.
