Highly recommend. Very competitive rates based on the 9 companies I got quotes from. One of the ONLY few companies that have lived as long as warranty. Installers were awesome and attention to detail was great. Good communication throughout the entire process. Highly recommend and had 4 other friends and family jump on board. Thank you!

The salesman was very professional and answered all of my questions. I agreed to go with Solar Optimum because they were about $2k less than the competitor. I had to sign a separate contract for the battery and when I added the amounts together, I realized that the total amount was $2k more than the total quoted me. I went back to the salesman who told me there was nothing they could do. As I had already signed the preliminary contract and completed the preliminary site survey, I decided to proceed. I am less than 3 months in and the gateway, system controller, microinverters and battery quit communicating with the Enphase app for a week. The second time I called, I was told I needed to reset the gateway wifi connection. I did that and even though the gateway is successfully reconnected to the wifi, the system controller, microinverters and battery were not. A live view of the system showed that the battery was not discharging. A tech came out, but couldn't fix the issue. I got a call the next day from Solar Optimum saying that a software update not pushing through was a know issue and they were able to correct it remotely. The system is now working and I hope there will not be any more glitches or issues.

The technicians were accommodating. They answered all our questions and worked with our schedule. Our roofer requested for a consultation with the technicians while he was working on our new roof to ensure that our warranty for the new roof will not be voided when the solar panels are installed. They coordinated with our roofer well.

I had my solar system and Tesla battery installed by them in 2017. The sales team was very attentive and the process was smooth. The install went well and the installers did a good job. Only thing I was worried about is that the installers were not in a marked company van and took a little longer than expected for install but outcome was no issues. So far, two years the system had very little hiccups and working as expected.

Representative came was all sales. Didn’t even look at roof for any potential issues. Only looked at panel at my urging. We have an older electrical panel and I was concerned about any last minute costs and was told it would be only $1500, however, I noted I was concerned it would be much more expensive and didn’t want to sign until they told me all costs. Although I asked to be sent the proposal and financing options, I never received anything. I called office aft 4 days and they had the representative call me. When he did, he said I had to contact Edison for them to spot new panel location so they could tell me full price. I expected a turnkey process.

I originally gave a three star review to Solar Optimum for not providing a personal visit to us to discuss our solar options. I received a call from Rainier from Solar Optimum to talk about our negative experience. I feel the customer service response warrants another positive star.
