Shane Potter Glendale, CA

I wanted to go with a company based in Southern Callifornia that was easy to communicate with (excellent customer service) and would provide me with the best technology and warranty. After doing some extensive research on all the options, I was able to find that Solar Optimum checked all those boxes. The 25 years performance guarantee gives me comfort that my money is being invested in equipment that actually works and will continue to work through the life of the system. I would happily recommend them to others looking to make the switch to solar.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 .

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.
