First I start by saying I had a great experience and would definitely recommend SolarTech as the go to company for anything Solar, Battery or Roofing. This wasn't my first time getting Solar and I thought I would had gone back to the previous company I had worked with to get my solar project done but wanted to get several quotes first.
I contacted them and was in touch with Ali Lbrahim. Ali did not try to up sale anything and was available at my convenience. He would take all my calls and answer question even after hours. After several back and forth with some other Solar Company

I recently had more panels added to an existing installation by SolarTech. I was glad I picked them the first time and felt the same about the upgrade. The crew was efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and picked up after themselves. While they were here I asked the foreman a few questions about solar charging for EVs, and he had a lot of knowledge on the subject. I appreciated their current technology understanding. The only issue I had, which they solved, was that during the installation, they had not determined if I had cathedral or attic-based ceilings. I have cathedral ceilings and

After several years of debating solar power amid rising costs for electricity- it was time to take the leap! After meeting with several companies I finally met with Laura from SolarTech. She is knowledgeable, informative, honest and very accessible. Anytime I thought of another question I would send out an email and had an answer in minutes- am even on the weekend! There was no one else I met with that was as clear and honest about what my needs are, time frame and cost out the door. After I selected them they wasted no time. I had every contact info for anyone involved and things went exceptionally

Tommy and his crew were awesome. Knocked out the job in 3 days with 22 panels and a SunSolar Battery back up system. Wish my Sales guy Mark was a little more attentive and actually followed through with his statements. Have a couple minor issues that I’ll need to deal with the offices to get corrected.

DO NOT under any circumstances use this company!!!!
We are currently in the middle of a solar panel installation with them and it has gone horribly wrong. Late in the afternoon on November 8th, 2021 a SolarTech employee was making the final connections from their solar equipment to our electrical panel and shorted out at least two circuits. This sent 220 volts down normally 110 volt circuits burning out all of our equipment and devices on these circuits including our furnace and smart thermostat. The most egregious thing of this whole incident is SolarTech, particularly Grant Magoffin and Charlene

I was recommended from a friend that is very demanding and critical when it comes to customer service and superior workmanship from contractors. From the first contact with the Sales person "Laura" to flipping the breaker it was smooth as silk. I had a good understanding of the process and what to expect, therefor didn't ask to many questions. I didn't need to because Laura covered all aspects of the process in easy to understand language.
The company was in constant communication with me via text and or emails. The installation team was in and out in one day

Note: Not sure the system puts me in San Francisco, but I'm in San Diego, CA.
I'm writing this note in case it helps somebody as reading the reviews from everybody helped me to decide. Obviously, I can just described my experience with the people I had the opportunity to work with, but your experience could be different.
I've been wanting to get Solar for the past 4 years, but after taking to sales people from different companies, and based on what I had been researching, I didn't feel they were looking for my best interest, it was more one what they were trying to sell me

STAY AWAY! They come across as nice & professional (sales rep Dave) but only care about your money!! Dave came to our house & confirmed that our current electric system was good & that there will be no issues with installing a new solar system with 17 panels. No due dilligence, even their electrician confess that they overlook problems and are told to install no matter what, the customer will deal with problems after installing! now we have paid and still cant use our brand new solar system which was installed by SolarTech over 4 months ago. In a nutshell, you can't trust SolarTech! So, save your

Uriel and his team did a phenomenal job with removing our old pool heater solar panel system and installing a new one!! Him and his team even removed the old and ugly white vertical pipes on the back of our house and installed the new ones on the side of our house in a hidden spot. All of the employees were punctual, professional & friendly.
We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and can't wait to begin enjoying our pool year around.
Thank you, Uriel and team at SolarTech!!

Customer service is overall friendly. However, the process and set up for us went badly. They also told us since we were referred, our friends would get $500. Now they won't give the referral money to our friends. My husband says they cut corners and had to come back and fix it when SunPower addressed the connectivity issues. They missed their inspection appointments and kept rescheduling us and then cancelling. I've asked the manager or owner to call me twice but he has not. I don't think he's getting our messages. I wish we went with another company. We liked a different

We decided on SolarTech after bids from a total of three companies. While SolarTech was not the cheapest bid they did provide a great product with a warranty that was far better than their competitors. They were responsive, quick to return questions or concerns, and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately the salesman did oversell and under deliver on the automatic control system, which is not compatible with my pool pump. And only one company in the bidding process hit the nail on the head in that category.

SolarTech did a great job installing a home solar system and a pool solar system. Great staff, courteous and efficient. They explained everything clearly, answered all questions and were quick to respond to any questions. Particularly helpful, was how they explained the app used to monitor the system.
Our initial meeting with Ali was straight forward. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped us through the process of determining our needs.

When we selected a solar company, we looked for one that provided complete service for all aspects. We received a call telling us our panels were generating power but not reporting. THEY CALLED US! They had two techs here in nothing flat. They worked very hard and explained what was happening and how they planned on repairing it. It was a several day process and the techs followed up, the service coordinator followed up and everything was excellent.
We highly recommend!

I'm happy with my experience with SolarTech. The pricing was competitive for top of the line panels, my interactions with the sales rep and project managers were pleasant and professional, the installation was fast and went without a hitch, there were no significant hangups at any point throughout the process, and the final installed product is working well as advertised.

I started my solar journey a couple of months ago getting various quotes. Ali with solar tech was by far the most knowledgeable about their products and honest with all of the costs. He was able to coordinate with a couple of different roofers as well giving us various quotes as we needed a new roof. He made the process as easy as could be. Hoping to get the roofing and solar process started in the next couple of weeks and I will have another update soon. Thanks Ali!!!

Solar Tech Showed up on time, after a pleasant experience in setting up the appointment, tech easily and efficiently restored our system after a system inspection. Paid One flat diagnostic fee which was worth every penny. I Highly recommend them. Their Technician was very professional , polite, and knew his stuff!
This Solar Tech experience was refreshing , especially after we had called another company before, which came out and took us for a few hundred dollar ride without even diagnosing anything, all the while doing terrible and rude jokes and touting himself like God's great solar gift

Very happy with our solar installation - we used SolarTech for both PV (electric) and pool solar. From the initial consultation with Ali Ibrahim to the contracting process (we changed our mind on some of the design elements mid-stream and they handled without issue) to the final installed product, we are very happy. Solar is a big investment - and SolarTech's pricing was near the top end of the 5 companies we got quotes from; I chose them based on quality of product and warranty, communication, professionalism, and flexibility with the design/final materials. No hidden fees. No bait-and

So far the panels I purchased have been nothing but problems. SolarTech just blames SunPower for the issue and does little to fix the problem. I have lost MONTHS of production and still the answer I get is that it will be fixed next week and next week NEVER comes.
I have never had a worse experience with a product or customer service. Thanks to SolarTech I have an expensive roof decoration that does NOTHING.
