Solar Symphony is part of a contracting family that has been serving Californians for over 40 years. Aaron Eriksson grew up in San Diego contracting with his dad and eventually went on to build large commercial construction projects. It was here that he met Solar Symphony co-founder Rob Smith.
Rob also spent many years in professional construction management and together Rob and Aaron have managed almost a billion dollars' worth of construction projects.Many of these projects were built for the U. S. military and were technically challenging with very demanding specifications and quality control requirements.
It was this background in the design-build world of big commercial project management, where contracts were awarded based on best-value (meaning the highest quality at the lowest cost) that gave birth to Solar Symphony's business model for Solar Panel Installation in SoCal. Aaron and Rob spent two decades learning and perfecting some of the most sophisticated cost and quality control systems and methodologies that industry has to offer.

In 2017 the most compelling values in solar are to be found in the commercial space. There are two main reasons for this: economies of scale and two major tax incentives. As the size of a solar installation increases the cost of the system on a per Watt or per panel basis goes down significantly. These lower prices of course provide a much quicker return on investment and in general a more compelling value for the system owner.
There are a lot of very exciting things happening right now in the residential solar space! Technology improvements and innovations in recent decades have made today's solar much more powerful and efficient than it was even just five years ago. We've also made great strides in reducing costs, which has made the economics of residential solar power very attractive.
Solar Symphony is a relatively small contractor. Their very competitive pricing seems to reflect low overhead. All the people I had contact with seemed to care about their company and the level of service they provided. Great price. Good quality installation. Overall very pleased. These people are fantastic!

Working with Solar Symphony was the best home improvement experience I have ever had, and I am not exaggerating. For our household, personally, Mike proposed the right amount of panels for the most competitive price. Furthermore we were working against a deadline, and Mike, his support team, and installers did the job in record time without a flaw. I loved communicating with Mike and his installers. Very professional. Since our installation 5 years ago, I have had to contact Mike and the back office a few times for various reasons and they responded immediately. We had one panel issue and they

After doing extensive research on solar and energy upgrades, And acquiring 6 solar estimates,,
I selected Solar Symphony for several reasons, 1.) they were exceptionally reasonable as far as cost on solar
2.) willing to work with my design
3.) and could help with all my other energy upgrades as well. (as they also have a contractors lic)
For Less than an estimate given by a major competitor (for solar Only)
Solar Symphony was able to give us ......A buttressed roof (for good energy efficient airflow underneath roofing tiles) our new Lenox heating and air system, and tankless water heater.

For the longest time we have been researching about going solar at our home since we own two Tesla cars, it just make sense. Going through several vendors we finally selected Solar Symphony. Mike Curtis was our sales person. He was very patience in answering all of our questions and concerns without being too pushy in closing the sales. Mike and his team work with us throughout the entire installing and permitting process and routinely provided updates. Overall the installation process was very smooth plus the inspection from the city was very routine. We love our new 27 solar panels that was able

I did a lot of research before deciding to go with Solar Symphony. I am so glad I did. Things were explained to me in a way I can understand and every one was so helpful and patient when I would call with additional questions. The install went quickly and we were up and running in no time at all. They helped with every step along the way.

I can personally attest to the level of pride this company takes in going above and beyond to service the customer. I would much rather have a company that knows my name and takes the time to remember me, long after the job is done, than being just another number in line at a larger corporate franchise. It's about as simple as choosing between fine cuisine, well crafted to your particular tastes or cheap fast food. I will recommend this company to anyone.
