    Yafet was very responsive and made sure the project kept moving smoothly. This was a home energy project for my property in Riverside. Helios Energy Global did a great job servicing my home with solar and batteries. I can understand why people are comfortable referring this team. I had a fear of going solar because of things I heard but these guys made my experience very enjoyable!

    Jake, the hesitation was fair — this industry has earned some of its reputation in California, and we'd rather answer the hard questions than talk around them. Thank you for trusting us with your Riverside home, and for mentioning Yafet; keeping projects moving is exactly his job. Solar and battery storage pays off hard in the Inland Empire, where summer AC load lands right in the peak-rate window. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global

    Very easy company to work with from start to finish. The team at Helios Energy Global was professional, responsive, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Whenever I had a question, they were quick to answer and made everything easy to understand. The whole experience was smooth and straightforward, and I never felt like I was being left in the dark. I really appreciated how organized and helpful everyone was. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend Helios Energy Global to anyone looking for a reliable solar company.

    Kevin, "never left in the dark" — we'll take that one. Most of the frustration in residential solar comes from the quiet stretches: plan check, inspection, and the utility's permission-to-operate step, which can run for weeks outside our control. So we keep you posted even when there's nothing new to report. Glad the El Monte installation stayed organized, and thank you for the recommendation. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global

    I had my solar installed last year and it’s working as intended. Helios did a fantastic job with the installation, the guys were friendly, they walked me through how the app works for my Tesla Powerwalls and it’s honestly so cool. I check that thing multiple times a day. We live in the future and now I am too 🤩 There’s nothing like running my AC guilt-free and I just got my wife a Tesla so now she’s not paying for gas anymore either. Go solar!!!

    Jason, checking the app several times a day is completely normal — we all do it. Glad the Tesla Powerwalls are earning their keep in Topanga, where outages are a real part of life rather than a hypothetical. Running the AC guilt-free and charging off your own roof is the whole thing working as designed. Give us a call whenever you want to talk EV charging. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global

    We had solar and got three Franklin batteries from Helios. The state was offering an incentive program to get batteries, so we hopped on board. I got referred to by a friend to Helios so I called them, and they came out. They said all the right things and gave me the right numbers. The install was great and the products work great too. It's so expensive, but I don't have an electric bill and I'm selling back energy every day. However, I was making more money when I just had solar, and I would sell them my extra than I am now with the batteries. They pay you next to nothing for the energy they buy back once you have the batteries because they gave you the incentive.

    Brian, thank you for the honest review — the export piece deserves a straight answer. Under California's current export rates, exported energy is worth a fraction of what it was under older net metering, so a battery earns its money through self-consumption and covering the expensive evening hours rather than through selling back. It's also worth checking how your FranklinWH system is set to operate and what the incentive program requires, since both affect how much ends up exported. We'll reach out and go through your settings and the program terms with you so you can see where the value is actually landing. Glad the install and the equipment have held up. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global

    I liked the salesperson with Helios. I received very good education of the process and the products, and I was given public information that was on the IRS website around the tax incentives. I financed the solar panels and setting up for that part was easy. The installation went very smooth as well. They did a great job. Having the solar panels, we're paying less overall in our energy bills, so that's good. The process was difficult and long, but they did a good job of walking me through. It took a long time with the permits, but a lot of that's out of their hands.

    Aric, that's a fair read. Permitting and utility interconnection are the least satisfying stretch of any solar project and the part we control least — Los Angeles plan check adds weeks on its own schedule. Our job through that window is to keep you informed rather than pretend it isn't happening. Glad the product education, the financing setup, and the installation itself went smoothly, and that the bills have come down. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global

    Helios Energy Global did my battery install. Everybody did a good job. The rep was very helpful and gave me options and suggestions, which helped a lot. The paperwork was all handled by the people who were taking care of me. The cost was minimal, and the people doing the job were nice. Also, the installation was quick. It was discussed between myself and the experts who know what they're doing before they started. So, I had the placement right. And they told me what we would get as far as materials. They went ahead and did the job. I've got solar panels that I've had for the last 15 years, and now I have a battery backup system that takes care of outages. It runs in the morning and saves me electricity there because it does the cheaper electricity usage.

    John, adding battery backup to a 15-year-old solar array is one of our favorite jobs. You already own the panels, so the battery is what buys you outage protection and lets you run the house on stored power in the morning instead of buying it. Retrofits like yours are getting common around Oxnard. Glad the placement got settled with you before the crew started — that's how it should always work. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global

    I received tremendous coordination of rebates from Helios, which meant the battery was free. The customer service rep was very helpful and walked me through all the steps. I was somewhat leery because “free”, while being my favorite word too, is also one of those giant fish lures that get people into things that they may not understand and turn out not to be free. But it actually worked. From Helios' side, the process went pretty well. But with the permitting and Edison and all of their foibles, it was less than spectacular. The good news is I've got friends in high places, so I was able to get some help on this. But it was a pain.

    David, that's a fair four stars, and your skepticism about the word "free" was healthy — apply it to every solar and battery offer you see in California. The rebate coordination worked because we did the paperwork, not because of a gimmick; these programs are finite and change with little notice, which is why we verify current funding before putting a number in front of anyone. The Edison and permitting slog is real and we won't pretend otherwise. What we own is telling you where things stand while everyone else takes their time. Appreciate you saying both halves out loud. — Taylor Crouse, Helios Energy Global
