Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Brand Selection
- Roofing Services
- Solar Cleaning and Repair Services
Brand Selection
Unified Solar and Roofing uses trusted brands for its solar panels (Q Cells, LG Solar, Solaria, and Silfab), inverters (Enphase, LG Chem, and Neovolta), and roofing manufacturers (Owens Corning, Boral, Eagle, Johns Manville, and GAF). Monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film solar panel types are available.
Where each property is unique, the company will walk you through your options as you choose the best panel type and other system components.
For commercial solar clients, the company can install solar on the roof or build a custom racking system on the property.
Roofing Services
While some solar companies offer solar services alone, Unified Solar and Roofing offers comprehensive roofing services as well. This includes energy-efficient roof installations for residential and commercial properties as well as roofing repairs. The company will salvage an otherwise effective roof if it can identify roof leaks and damage that can be repaired.
Solar Cleaning and Repair Services
Since solar panels that go without cleaning can lose effectiveness over time, Unified Solar and Roofing prioritizes solar panel cleaning to minimze the effects of bird droppings, air pollutions, dust, and water spots.
For damaged solar panels due to internal corrosion, micro-cracks, animals, or roof damage, Unified Solar and Roofing will send out licensed solar technicians to assess the damage and give estimates for repairs. Estimates are always free.
The Bad
- Unknown Financing Details
- Varied Warranties
Unknown Financing Details
The company’s website lacks information about available client financing options, including lending partnerships. Generally, solar system customers can pay in cash, with a loan, or utilize a lease or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Varied Warranties
Product warranty length depends on the system products you choose, so you’ll need to shop out the specs of the various panels and inverters. Workmanship warranty and other warranty types, if available, are unknown.
The Bottom Line
If you live in the San Diego area and need solar or roofing installation (or both), Unified Solar and Roofing is definitely a company you want to look into. Estimates are always free, so you have nothing to lose.
However, as with any significant financial decision, make sure you gather all the contract, financing, and warranty information you need directly from the company before making your decision.
