Sales process was good, they were friendly in service and responsive to my questions or concern, but the design process and apply permit were slow

What could go wrong did go wrong. The only time they contacted me without repeated attempts on my behalf was when they wanted money. Monitoring was never set up and I'm pretty sure that the grid profile is incorrectly configured for California. Recommended many people to not choose Solar Optimum.

Super-professional installation performance. Mediocre and inconsistent communications, internal coordination, customer responsiveness, and follow-through.

After researching and talking to three other companies I made the best choice going with Solar Optimum. They checked all of the boxes including being a local company that is not going anywhere.

Workmanship and installers were great. Getting the work done though took months. Everything was cleared to go in October till installers came and said roof was not good. Ended up having roof work repaired and from then on I had to call weekly to see when roof and Solar was going to get installed and system activated. Signed paperwork for Solar in July ‘22 and officially running in February ‘23. Customer service was great every time I called and always helpful.

I had solar panels installed on my roof a few years ago. They were great, fast and efficient. The staff is very nice, competent and friendly. Now however, they are super slow for my 2d installation on my daughter's house. May be too much demand or Covid??? The liaison person at the customers'desk, Britnnay S is very nice and helpful
