The last review from EnergySage:

I really appreciated the work ethic and speed of this company. I had an 8.5 KwH system put in. The team that put the system together were very prompt and thorough. The job also consisted of a panel upgrade, and they were able to do the teardown of the old panel and the patchup well. They also assisted with some permitting issues that came up because the city didn’t want to approve the installation for unrelated items. When those items were addressed, the city attempted to find additional work to be done.. but Sunny and his team went to the bat for me and we were able to get it approved.

Gold Coast Solar

The last review from EnergySage:

John and the team at GoldCoast Solar were simply fantastic. Not only did they have the lowest price quote, I was BLOWN AWAY by the incredible follow-up and experience working with them. John worked with me to assess the available panel space on my spanish clay tile roof and select higher output Solaria panels to get the highest possible production. As part of the quote, they threw in a Tesla charger on the house which was something I was going to do anyway and they were super accommodating – “sure, no problem we can do that”! Post install I called them twice – once almost a year later to fix the Tesla charger housing and some other nitpicks from LA Country for the charger permit, second about 3 years after service, my SolarEdge inverter crapped out. I’ve heard many horror stories of dealing with this situation as many installers are no longer around and/or unwilling to stand by their service and to process warranties. Gold Coast solar was out within 24 hours of getting notified and processed and installed the replacement on warranty. Really happy with Gold Coast Solar and a very positive experience. Stand up guys who show up on time, do a great job, and walk through any questions/issues you have.

Cali Energy

The last review from EnergySage:

Never ever in my life I’ve seen a company that’s as responsive as this one. My mind is literally blown. My project manager was Maria, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for all her help along the way. She always responded to my emails and texts within minutes, at most within an hour or so. I was kept posted throughout the whole process, from the start till the very end. It feels nice when a contractor let’s you know what they’re doing. I am a homeowner, and a solar system is a pretty big investment, so it does feel nice when you get updates at every stage of the process. Huge thanks to the crew who installed my system. Everything looks very neat and works as it should. It is clear that everyone at Cali Energy is a perfectionist. Awesome work! Thank you!
