The Good

  • Emphasis on Money Saved 
  • Warranties
  • Solar Service Payment Options
  • Online Monitoring and System Maintenance Included
  • Quick Installation Time

Emphasis on Money Saved

Solcius is committed to not only saving customers money through solar but also to ensuring that they understand the numbers behind the savings so they can go solar with confidence. The Solcius team pledges to design the system that provides the best combination of performance and cost-effectiveness for each customer. It also provides a preliminary savings estimation when customers fill out a contact form.  

Warranties

Solcius offers solid warranties pretty consistent with industry averages, including a 20-year equipment warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty. In the event of an accident or malfunction, your Solcius solar panel installation will be covered.

Solar Service Payment Options

When it comes to paying for the system, Solcius offers power purchase agreements (PPAs) and leasing options, as well as options to get a loan through one of its partners. The solar company will also allow the homeowner to purchase a system outright — the fastest way to receive a return on investment.

The solar installer's PPA option gives customers the chance to go solar without any out-of-pocket expenses while the company takes care of all maintenance or repairs for the life of the contract. Although you won't own your solar installation when you go solar with a PPA and therefore will not receive any rebates or tax credits, you will benefit through increased savings on your electric bill each month.

Solcius states that it offers monthly, package, and system plans as well.

Zero down payment options and flexible financing options are also available, making solar power a reality for customers of every budget.

Online Monitoring and System Maintenance Included

Solcius will monitor each customer's system for 90 days after activation to ensure that everything is running smoothly. After that, the company will show the customer how to monitor the system and check production themselves.

Monitoring is available to all customers, regardless of whether they purchased the system or signed into a lease or PPA.

Quick Installation Time

While getting solar energy systems up and running on the roof can be a long and complicated process, Solcius boasts one of the quickest install times in the entire solar industry. The company's average time from paperwork to activation is 66 days.

The Bad

  • Limited Availability
  • Warranty Lengths 

Limited Availability

Unfortunately, Solcius only offers its solar roof in 10 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin.

While this area is much larger than the majority of solar installers that are limited to one state, it limits the number of consumers who have the ability to work with Solcius.

Warranty Lengths

While Solcius' 10-year workmanship warranty aligns with industry averages, most solar panel equipment warranties tend to span 25 years. Solcius' equipment warranty is for 20 years.

The Bottom Line

If you live in the company's service area, Solcius is a good installer to consider. It offers a variety of financing options to fit every customer's needs, online production monitoring, and quick installation times.

Shelley Hamburg, NY

Overall a good experience. We had a lot of questions throughout the whole process and they were always answered promptly. We had to have someone replace the drywall where our electrical panel is and that was done within a week. Installers were very nice and helpful. Solcius kept in touch with phone calls and emails to update us on where we were with the steps to get the panels producing. Our only concern now is that we don’t have enough panels for our current air conditioning use. Seems like we are using more power per day the we produce in a day. We don’t want to end up having an electric bill on top of paying for the panels. We are still learning though so I could be wrong. Great company with great customer service!

Well first off I like the product. Second Caleb B was not good at customer service at all. It was like playing phone tag with him. Except I was the only one playing tag. When he finally got back to me I had been up for around 20 hours and was not ready for his BS. on the other hand Britney C was amazing at customer relations. She realized that I was a no nonsense kind of feller and made my job of dealing with Edison unbelievably easy. If Caleb was better at his job maybe he’d get the good review. All in all it went a bit slow after the install just due to hiccups with permits. But all is up and running now and everything is right with the world again.

The entire install only took about 7 hours with only 3 installers. The workplace was thoroughly cleaned after the installation was completed. The installers didn’t rush to leave after the install and answered all my questions. The install date was changed last minute because of weather so I won’t hold that against them. Everything was communicated and rescheduled for the next day. The original plans had to be modified because of a roof vent but again the new plan was communicated before any changes. Very happy with the install and installers and would recommend Solcius Solar to anyone looking to go green and eliminate electric expenses.

We have had a solar system (PPA) with Solcius for 2 years now. Their quote process was very straightforward and the terms were much more advantageous than the purchase or lease options we got from other companies. We get a monthly bill from Solcius for the electricity generated, and our monthly electric bill from SDG&E tells us how much we put into the grid and how much we took from the grid. Once a year we "true-up" with SDG&E. This is an easy way to reduce the electric bill and help reduce the carbon footprint for our home. An added bonus is that, if there is a power outage while the sun is out, we have electricity from the panels. There are a couple of things that could be improved. 1) The installation process wasn't as well organized as one would hope: there were a couple of very basic errors that resulted in a delay in approval and a delay in the system going into service. 2) The bill is not itemized to support the amount they are billing you for: There is no clear explanation connecting the electricity generated with the amount of money you are being billed for. Also, there is no clear statement of how much money you sent in the last payment and whether there is a remainder being carried over to this month's bill. Since the amount being billed is based on the electricity generated that month and therefore is different every month, and since I have and auto-pay set up with my bank that sends the same amount every month if I don't change the amount manually, the amount I pay is often not the amount they billed. Their bill doesn't show the amount previously billed or the amount received, or clearly connect the amount of electricity generated to the amount they are billing for this month, so it's impossible to know how they arrived at the amount they are billing for the month. They seriously need to itemize their bills to show everything that goes into determining the amount being charged.

good quick install of panels. glitches in paperwork between them and inspectors slowed things down with a reinspect needed. (paper work glitch only, everything was to code.) took three weeks. then a glitch in the paperwork to the provider (XCEL). insurance liability paperwork was never forwarded to XCEL as part of the ready to connect package. that cleared and a week later meter installed and turn on approved.

Things have been working well so far since it was up and running from two days ago. The only reason I gave 4 stars was I often had to get updates and status details about what was going to happen and when. Not much instruction or information provided on how the equipment works or things to watch for in way of operation, safety, or function. I had to ask for this. A packet or manual with frequently ask questions and or how to would be helpful.

We were introduced to Solcius through the My Smart Home Program. There are a lot of things to take into consideration when going solar, but Solcius made understanding and obtaining solar quite simple. If one stays on top of both the referring program and the solar installer, you can ensure your needs are addressed. I would recommend Solcius to those looking to go solar for a competent company that handles most of the installation on the customer's behalf.

The employees, down from the guy walking the streets and knocking on doors handing out fliers all the way to the installers, have been very professional. I have spoken to a few people the past few weeks who are coordinating this install and they all seem very knowledgeable and up to date on the status of my project. I would have given the survey 5 stars, had it not been for the installers knocking on my door 2 days earlier than what I was told was the installation date.

First thing is Solcius is the installer, they are contracted by My Smart House to do the job. Within 2 weeks of signing contract system was installed. took another 3 weeks for inspections and permission to operate. I am writing this 7 months after installation, after 2 months of spring and full summer through October I will pay to SCE what amounts to be about what one months bill would have been without panels. So far I am totally happy with results.

Solcius put together a system that covers nearly all my power needs throughout the year. The sales people I worked with were professional. The installation was on time and the energy production was better than I had expected! I typically only pay connection fees/taxes to the power company now as my system is very adequate for my needs. One of my neighbors went with them as well and seems very satisfied. I would recommend this company as a strong contender when researching which solar company is best for your property.

Everything went well until I went to turn on my air conditioning and they didn’t come on. They didn’t put in the right voltage breaker when adding the solar in the breaker box. The company quickly sent out someone and he resolved it and it was all ok.

The planner didn’t keep me informed about the crew. The materials planner should have chosen the correct size conduit for the job. 8 power wires and a 6 gauge ground OVERCROWDED the conduit causing undue problems. Still waiting for news about the on-demand water heater as agreed upon.
