This is an early review, I will be updating it throughout. After talking to 10 companies that I found on Solar Sage and Yelp, I decided to chose Solar Optimum. Solar Optimum had competitive prices ( the best ), great warranty and was using micro-inverters. As I live in the Bay Area, I was a bit hesitant to use them at first since most of the reviews I found were in SoCal, but they told me they were really familiar with San Francisco area. I had the chance to have Kevin as Energy Consultant, he is amazing, extremely helpful,... read more

Thank you for choosing us for your project, JL.

REC400AA panels with Enphase IQ8M microinverters. SHORT VERSION: Honestly not sure if other companies would have been better or worse? In the end I have the panels I wanted and I'm happy with the price and warranty (though hoping I don't have to use it...) It was a struggle though. Pros: * End product was 99% accurate * Fast installation Cons: * I had to hold their hand and correct issues at every step * If communication was this bad when they needed my money, how bad is it going to be if I need warranty service? LONG ... read more

We finally took the plunge on getting solar installed on our home, and we engaged with about 10 companies to submit bids and proposals. Solar Optimum ultimately got the nod from us. From start to finish, Solar Optimum was extremely professional, responsive, and did a wonderful job communicating with us throughout the process from bid thru our "Permission To Operate" notification from the our energy company. Patrick, our project manager, was a fantastic resource during the actual install, which took about a week factoring i... read more

We went with Solar Optimum after getting bids through energysage.com. The whole system has worked very well (7 months out), giving us up to 47kwh/day (peak so far). This is enough to charge our car, run our home and still get some bones back from SCE. Solar Optimum installed the solar system, as well as a new main panel and an EV outlet. Our experience was ver good - much better than some of our friends/neighbors who went with other providers (proceed with care - there seems to be some awful providers out there!). Even the... read more

Glad your experience with us was a good one, Dave!

I had a great experience with Solar Optimum for a solar install. I'm in the Bay area and I had about 25 quotes. All of the other Bay area companies were more expensive, some dramatically more. These guys had the best overall warranty and lowest price and a fantastic reputation here on yelp, google, solar reviews, better business bureau and other sites After contract signature, it took a week for the site inspection, another week for the design and two weeks to get an installation date. Installation took half a day and the... read more

Rene Melena at Solar Optimum was really great. Very responsive, helpful and friendly. The install only took a few days, but there was months of lead up and prep, mostly waiting for permits. And then after the install it takes a month or so to get LADWP to sign off and allow the system to be turned on. The amount of power the system is generating exceeded my expectations. We are feeding way more power to the grid than we are using. Looking forward to seeing if we are making money. Thumbs up for Solar Optimum. 

Business response:

We'll be sure to pass along the message to Rene, Rex. Thanks for choosing Solar Optimum.

I didn't have many issues working with Solar Optimum, and the issues I did have weren't enough to totally soil my experience with them. The whole process took about 5-6 months from beginning to Power to Operate day which is usually pretty standard. I also chose them after I put a bid out on Energy Sage and I would recommend anyone reading this to also go through Energy Sage The planning phase: Solar Optimum submitted a proposal to me via Energy Sage and I liked the equipment they suggested with REC panels and Enphase micro... read more

Long overdue review. At first there was a lot of hiccups. My sales rep, Sean, was fired and there was no communication or notification that my project would be handled by someone else. Waited long enough for the roofing dept to give me a quote on the roofing project when I decided to retract and forego the project then Jeremy Nicholson, VP of Residential Sales stepped in and Things started moving. It was a good recovery service. In 1.5 months roof, Electrical panel, Ev outlet and solar panel was were all installed. Thank yo... read more
