Brandon C. Hesperia, CA

The entire process was quite easy. They handled everything from start to finish. My only responsibility was to review and sign documents via DocuSign which was extremely convenient. They communicated very well with me. Each step of the process happened exactly when they promised it would. I had no delays. The installation crew did a great job. They were fast and made sure everything was tidy before they left. The system has been performing exactly as promised for several months now.

Sam Northridge, CA

I have worked in the service industry for 20+ years and rarely do I leave reviews but I had to mention Solar Optimum in particular because of how impressed I am from the initial call for a quote to the installation and follow-up. The staff as Optimum has been a breath of fresh air as it was difficult to find a company in which we could really feel comfortable investing in and building a long-term relationship with. We feel 100% confident the decision we made going with Solar Optimum was the best one we could've done for our home and the environment.

Rarely have I come across a company with such a courteous and helpful staff. Our solar representative Mark was patient and very informative, and he made sure we understood exactly what we were doing, both in terms of the project itself as well as the financial gain. Solar Optimum took care of everything for us, form the custom solar design, permits, rebates and installation, and it all happened just like they explained us it would and right on time.

Razmik Hayrapetyan North Hollywood, CA

I had just upgraded my home by adding a few missing touches. For one we recently purchased an EV car that we now were charging at home. This coupled with the new man cave I put in raised my consumption reasonably. I hooked into different option and found that solar provided all the answers. If I could create the energy I needed there would be no need to pay the high prices. We met with Solar Optimum after reading about their company. We met their company and were impressed by the knowledge they came with. We decided to switch and have not looked back.

Solar Optimum did a fantastic job! They are very professional and knowledgeable. Even before signing with them, they took the time to thoroughly walk us through every step of what we could expect.

I am really impressed with Solar Optimum customer service. I am very satisfied with my solar system . I already have my solar for more than a year and never had a problem . Once the counter was turned off ( I have turned the box switch off by mistake) the technician came and turned it on . Even that time they were very professional and courteous. I highly recommend everyone to install solar and to go with solar Optimum. You will not regret it at all.

Diana Hull Los Angeles, CA

My bills had increased moving into our new home and flt to get ahead of our expenses was the best choice. We looked into solar for a few months before choosing a company to go with. We went over many sites trying to pin down a company that would serve us best. We chose Solar Optimum in part because of the many 5 star comments left on each site for them but really because I felt comfortable talking to them. They treated me as a person with real concerns. I am glad I put in the effort it paid off.

Mark constantly kept me informed about the progress, So I knew that everything was going according to the plan.

I just had solar installed at my home and couldn't be happier that I did. It was quite the challenge finding a company that I finally wanted to go with. Each person I spoke to at Solar Optimum had so much information to relay. I loved that every time I called they would have a specialist ready to answer my questions. They were wonderful about keeping me informed with each process that had to take place. My system has been up and running for years now saving me from my bills every month and on top I am to expect a tax return for adding this. Truly a win , win for me.

We have done everything in our control to try and limit our costs. We have done lots of upgrades to more energy efficient items and figured the last phase would be to finally go solar at our home. I received a quote from Solar Optimum and was surprised at the amount of details that went into it. The others I had received didn't seem to much in quality. After meeting with Ivan and going through project I felt really good about my choice to move forward with them.

I can't believe I waited to go solar when I could have saved a lot more money a lot sooner. I knew while my bills were moderate to high in the summers there was a better answer yet. EVEN LOWER BILLS. After I saw the results of what solar could do for both my home and my wallet I would be crazy not to. The crew from Solar Optimum came over and began working on my house and before I knew it, were done. My system looked sleek and stylish and did not diminish from the look of my home. the saving since have been second to none and I am so glad to have made the switch

I found this company on Yelp. They had a lot of great reviews and also a long history of being in business. When I called them and gave them my information a solar rep visited me at my house to show me a proposal and go over my questions with me. They began the install and even installed an outlet for my EV car charger. In 3 days everything was completed and I would definitely recommend them.

I think about green energy every single day. Also I try to use it in my life. I changed all my bank statements to paperless because I like to save paper and seeing trees around. I started to think about solar also, after researching I tried to meet with the team at Solar Optimum. They offered me a system that would cover 100% of my usage. After getting the permit from the city, they started installation and soon were DONE. It was so fast and clean installation. I am so happy for save the energy for future.

They checked my property and roof, also or electricity bill and gave me the best design of panels. I approved it and they did the best. Now I can charge my car at home and pay only $12.00 to city as connection fee. I really recommend them if you like to have solar without any problems.

I had met with a lot of other companies and thought I would make my rounds before selecting who would do the work. Everyone was quick to spit out a general quote to show me numbers that were close. When I met with my consultant from Solar Optimum they had a wealth of information along with their proposal. They had filled me in with a more complete picture of what I could do for my home with my solar. In the end it was their expertise that helped close the deal.

The entire process was fairly easy and smooth. I think that may have been the best part of this. There was no point that made me feel like I just wanted to get this over with. The crew was very respectful when they were at my house and so polite. I had made a few changes to my layout early in the process and it was so reassuring to knew that the team knew exactly what I wanted in the end was able to design me a system to meet those needs. My bills have been at an all time low and has motivated me to spread the word wherever I go.

I highly recommend Solar optimum because they go and beyond to help you make the decision for your solar needs. A lot of companies out there promising this and that, but solar optimum is straight forward and won’t give you empty promises. Oh and did I mention I’ve referred families and friends to solar optimum already. So before you make that choice or decide what solar company to go with, Give solar optimum a chance . What do you have to loose. Lastly ask for Sean S. He was the rep that made me go green but most of all save lots of money by going solar, that’s solar optimum.

After numerous consultations with other companies, I made the best choice choosing Solar Optimum. From the initial consultation with Sean, to dealing with Nima in the office, every person was knowledgeable, patient, professional and impressive. The entire project went smoothly, we had no issues at all. Our solar panels have saved us so much money, we could not be happier! The Tesla battery was definitely worth the investment as well. My only complaint was that I didn't decide to do it years ago!

It is obvious that Solar Optimum has been around for a while, because they know everything you need to know about the benefits of solar - and then some. When I decided to get solar for my house, they were there to help and guide me from day one, on the phone, over email and even in person when we met face-to-face. Their customer service is exceptional, and I so happy that I made the right choice by purchasing my solar system from them. This 6kW system ( Panasonic panel ) with the Inphase Inverter was a great recommendation and the performance is beyond my expectations.

When we bought our house we decided to get solar panels and we actually called a few different solar companies before meeting with Solar Optimum. We chose them because they answered all our questions and we felt very comfortable with them. They walked us trough the entire process and we ended up with a 5KW solar system for our house. We already love our system and we've saved a good amount of money already because of this very hot summer. Our monthly bills went from $250-plus a month to only $10 to $12.

I began to look online when I finally decided my home needed a solar system. I looked through a lot of websites but couldn't understand much. I looked at reviews on Yelp and found a few companies. I met with a handful of companies who all had similar products. When I met Ivan at Solar Optimum it was very refreshing the amount of detail he went into while explaining the process.

My solar system has been great ever since my wife persuaded me to install them which I was not happy about in the beginning. I am an old school guy and anything new and modern out there doesn't spark an interest in me to give it a try it to trust. Now that my electricity bills are much lower after installing my new system, I'm so glad I made the choice to go solar. Now I even persuade others to get them. Plus my wife is extremely happy that our bills are lower and results we are getting are keeping us satisfied. What more can a man ask for? Lower bills and a happy wife! Easy life.

Solar optimum in my experience did an A+ job on setting up our solar system on our home. From beginning to end, their communication through the entire process was great-- at times, over-communicating which was not necessary but appreciated. Our solar system job has 20 panels for a 7KW system on our west and south roof. The system is running like a well oiled machine and we're ready for the summer. Anyone reading this decides to get a quote from Solar Optimum, be sure to ask for Armando who is one of their solar reps. A+ and 5 star for Armando and the installation team at Solar Optimum.

Alex B was my rep at Solar Optimum and he was amazing, to say the least. Very Clearly and carefully, he walked us through the entire process of how solar would benefit our home. With an electric bill of $300 or more a month, we needed a solution fast especially during the dog day of summer. we ended up choosing solar optimum and worked with Alex on a 5.4Kw system which covered almost 93% of our electric usage. If it weren't for some shading due to trees, we would have been able to get 100%. I grade them an A at Solar Optimum and A++ to Alex

When I saw advertising on Tv I decided to go green energy for two different reasons, first for decreasing my electricity bills and in the second step for the environment. that's why I started to search on social media and also on Yelp, I found three different companies those are better than the others, but when I met them one by one I chose the best one finally, I don't have high usages that's why Solar Optimum could design the system with 13 panels I got an almost $5000 my federal tax credit and $500 utility rebate, I have 20 years warranty on my panels. I recommend the Solar system for all people how like to have a clean environment.
