Kewin Canyon Country, CA

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.

Lucia Wagner Glendale, CA

Solar Optimum was my best choice. They gave me all the information about my project, Solar panels and loan. They did finance for long term with a great rate, because of that I have incredible solar system in my home and I save a lot of money for my family. After 6-7 years when i return my investment I have plan to change my life style in long term. I got my approval for the solar system easily and now I pay only $12 (connection fee). I am totally satisfied with the material and customer service.

Hi Alen, Now that you have solar, you don't have to worry about the high cost of charging your RV at your home in Northridge. That's one of the many benefits of going solar! Thanks for the awesome review.

I got flyer in my mailbox from Solar Optimum when i applied for solar. it was offer for $0 down and $1000 cashback. i called to the sales department and they sent estimates for me. when i compered price with the other companies their deal was the best. they cover more than 100% of usages. My system has more than 20 panels and i paid around $15000 after my federal tax credit . I can charge my EV easily. Now i have $12 connection fee only on my Electricity bill and i have big save.

Wiliam Glendale, CA

We got E-mail from different solar companies but when we compered the prices, Solar Optimum gave us the best deal, they suggested us to purchase cash or finance 25years with incredible rate. We got 30% federal tax credit and I paid only $11.000 for my house project. They used 21 panels for coverage all of my usage. They did their job spotlessly clean, we are so satisfied with this company and recommend to all home owners with high electric usage.

Got quotes from several companies including sunpower, la solar, tesla and a few others. Tesla would not do custom-configured installs and would only install a 7kW system when I needed 11kW so they were excluded. sunpower was a magnitude more expensive even though they do general alot more power with the same size panel. In the end it came down to LA Solar and Solar Optimum. I went with solar optimum because they did a completely custom design to get as many panels on the roof as possible and also installed them with a reverse tilt where needed to maximize solar energy. they also had a 25 year warranty on all parts, including inverters, used microinverters instead of string inverters, and were cheaper than other quotes i received. When it came to the install they were also extremely quick. I did try to include powerwalls at first but this is where they really dragged their feet and took FOREVER so in the end I decided not to install batteries with the system. Other than that, I've recommended them to all my friends for solar installs.

The system they put up on top of my roof is not putting out enough energy for my needs. The salesman misled me and lied to me about the refund process and they've already had it come out and replace the whole panel and I'm not getting compensated for any payments that I have paid

The salesman was very professional and answered all of my questions. I agreed to go with Solar Optimum because they were about $2k less than the competitor. I had to sign a separate contract for the battery and when I added the amounts together, I realized that the total amount was $2k more than the total quoted me. I went back to the salesman who told me there was nothing they could do. As I had already signed the preliminary contract and completed the preliminary site survey, I decided to proceed. I am less than 3 months in and the gateway, system controller, microinverters and battery quit communicating with the Enphase app for a week. The second time I called, I was told I needed to reset the gateway wifi connection. I did that and even though the gateway is successfully reconnected to the wifi, the system controller, microinverters and battery were not. A live view of the system showed that the battery was not discharging. A tech came out, but couldn't fix the issue. I got a call the next day from Solar Optimum saying that a software update not pushing through was a know issue and they were able to correct it remotely. The system is now working and I hope there will not be any more glitches or issues.

The technicians were accommodating. They answered all our questions and worked with our schedule. Our roofer requested for a consultation with the technicians while he was working on our new roof to ensure that our warranty for the new roof will not be voided when the solar panels are installed. They coordinated with our roofer well.
