OC Solar Reviews

This was the first time using OC Solar and couldn’t be happier. They are not the typical solar companies. What stands out about OC Solar is they did exactly what they said - from start to finish. Their pricing, scope of work, scheduling, all outstanding. They communicated with me on every step. Ivan and Jose were extremely friendly, and professional. Don’t look any further! If you are looking for solar panels - call OC Solar.

We chose OC Solar to install company for our solar-panel and Tesla Powerwall 3 installation project on our residential home. The team clearly explained system sizing, battery backup, permitting, inspection, and NEM 3.0 and if it was worth it. Communication was consistent from the initial consultation through installation, and the crew was professional, protected our property, and left everything clean. The finished panels look great, the monitoring app was configured before closeout, and we understand how to use our stored energy during peak SCE hours and outages. What impressed us most was having a local Orange County based company handle the entire project and respond quickly whenever we had questions. I would recommend OC Solar to homeowners comparing solar and battery installers anywhere in California, absolutely

The technician Mr. ** was very knowledgeable and patient with me as I know very little about residential solar. He went through explaining all the of the system. And was able to fix my problem. I highly recommend OC Solar and will use them again should the need arise.

Great experience during the initial quote and project kick off phases. Overall it felt like it's a team of hard-working and honest individuals doing their best to get their customers a ton of value. No tricks or gimmicks. They sell their service by being excellent and honest. Can't beat that.

Recently contracted with OC Cellular for installation of a battery wall backed up solar panel system. All went as stated. SCE electric bill now less than $30. Battery back up system has already performed during an outage. I win, the SCE 4 - 9 grid wins, Cali wins, Fed gov wins, environment wins. So far, 👍👍👍

If you are serious about power walls or solar, you have found the very best with OC Solar. Claiming #1 in Orange County, made clear to me after my experience why. Communication through email, phone, and their online project management system was a very professional experience. Highly recommend.

From the informative sales crew to the installers and finally to the customer service team… all were fabulous to work with! So happy we went with OC Solar!

Robyn my sales specialist went above and beyond. This is my second solar system with OC Solar.

OC Solar was fantastic and it was especially great to work with Andrew ** who was highly responsive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. In addition, they were very price competitive in comparison to the competition and provided financing alternatives. Thank you Andrew ** and OC Solar!

These guys are the best. They say what they'll do and do it with professionalism, expertise, and courtesy. When there was a problem, they worked to fix it. Highly recommend them.

OC Solar did excellent work installing solar paneling and whole home battery backup. Their crew was efficient, communication was consistent, when there was an issue or question, I was able to text, email, or call, which is important to me since emailing and texting is my preferred method of communication during a busy day. I also had a roof replacement as part of the work and they managed the subcontractor seamlessly. I highly recommend the company for solar installation.

Outstanding service and fantastic end product. The estimate they gave me was for exactly what was needed with no upselling whatsoever. Solar is matching our needs perfectly and the installation was done professionally and punctually. Tesla battery was a great addition and couldn't be happier with the job.

From my own experience, I think the OC Solar Company has a good team of professional services. From the Technical sale person, Shawn to front office, with Andrea, Joanna, to professional installation team with Joshua, Victor, Michael…, everyone creates a close circle that provided a great customer service from start to finish. I feel very comfortable and always known in advance the next step of the process. Thank you, OC Solar, as our family starting to enjoy friendly source of electricity.

Alisia took care of me. She asked me all the right questions. I was thoroughly impressed. I got a quote for adding panels to my home solar system very quickly. Boom, boom, boom. Their guys came to my home to add 4 panels. They set up the bracket on the roof and unable to hook it up because my system was old. They came back quickly and finished the job. They were professional and polite. I am a happy camper. Thank you OC Solar.

I was very happy with Don of OC Solar, who gave me an excellent price on a quality Tesla home battery, which integrated beautifully with the Solar Panel system I purchased from SunRun a couple years ago. The SunRun battery was going to cost considerably more than the one I purchased from OC solar.. Don was great, everyone at OC Solar was easy to work with. I enjoyed a great big tax credit last year and I continue to enjoy the benefits of this battery, and love not wasting all the energy my solar panels produce!

OC Solar offers affordable pricing for the same panel brands that many of the other contractor sells. Before I found OC, I had other companies give me outrageous quotes. OC delivered on Schedule. Glad I found them.

My OC Solar solar and Powerwall installation was outside of the company's near Orange County service area, but am very pleased with the installation and follow-up, although the travel distance for their service technicians required some wait times for post-installation troubleshooting. OC Solar was less expensive than other comparable, Tesla-authorized installers here in the Palm Springs area. Customer support was also quite good.

OC Solar has done a great job working with us on an addition to our home. They had to take off an existing cluster of panels for us to do our addition then they had to come back and install them. They were constantly in touch so communication was good.

My system stopped working which took me many months to finally realize when I noticed my Edison bill kept climbing. I tried to get in contact with the company that installed the system only to find that the company had gone out of business. I spent a few more months trying to find a solar company that could take over the account and get the system running again, but everyone I spoke with only wanted to install a whole new system, which would leave me paying for two of them. I finally found OC Solar about a year later from when the panels stopped working.

My experience with OC Solar begun after purchasing our new home in June 2025. I spoke to Sean in sales. I had a lot of questions and he took the time which meant a lot to me. Because I travel a lot for work the logistics were daunting. Sean and subsequently the support and technical team ironed out any issues and completed the project with integrity and outstanding expertise. The best compliment I have is that whenever I called which was often they responded and followed thru. I was impressed when I gave feedback on my experience, their team actually met to discuss and used my feedback to make their customer service even better. Thank you to the entire team!

Everyone I dealt with made a real effort to do a good job. I have no problem recommending them. They did both my new roof underlayment with their dedicated sub contractor as well as the solar project.

Excellent communications with the OC Solar team. They addressed my concerns every time I called or emailed them. This is a sign of great customer service. They gave me the best price of all the contractors I contacted. I purchased the Tesla Powerwall 3 from them. Mostly the experience was great except the 1st battery I received from them was dead on arrival. I waited at least another 4 weeks to get a new one. They claimed they couldn’t swap it out for another one they had in stock but said they needed Tesla’s approval, which I find strange. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

OC Solar was fantastic. They always kept me updated on the tasks and progress of my project. Appointments for installation, inspections, etc were timely and always on time. Any questions I had were always answered promptly and thoroughly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get solar panels installed.

Great office and installation people. Any issues were taken care of promptly and satisfactory. We had them add more panels a year later after an electric vehicle purchase. The only company I would recommend.

I had been looking for a solar company for a few months and finally signed an agreement with OC Solar. I feel luck that had them on board to take care of solar project for me. Their team are very professional with great communication and customer service. I highly recommend them.

We engaged OC Solar after observing two neighbors who had OC Solar do their installations, both of which were accomplished on time and on budget. From the start the communication was excellent, and the complexity of our project was handled with professionalism at every turn. The office staff, the on site construction crew, and the installation team were all top notch. We are excited to be generating our own power and can only say that OC Solar was excellent throughout the process. Thank you OC Solar! Special thanks to Matt (sales) Matt D. and Matthew D. (installation) Chuck (installation) and Gaby (inspection coordinator). A superior group of people!

The company installed solar panels and a Tesla battery about a year and a half ago. While there were a few issues early on, they promptly came out and resolved everything. They stand behind their work and they are very honest and reliable. Highly recommended.

This company has been stellar. Especially when it came to the installation. The 5-man team arrived at 7 am and had everything staged and ready to go at 8 am (Permitted construction start time). They replaced my entire main panel and had my power restored by noon. More importantly, they worked with me on a special request to minimize external conduit. The photos speak for themselves. They ran flex and EMT through the garage walls and attic to result in nearly zero external conduit. Very impressive. They installed 14 high-quality panels across 3 arrays, a main panel, and a Tesla battery all in one day! They even thoroughly cleaned up after. I couldn't be happier.

Solar panel + battery install, is not straightforward and the city and utilities companies have their idiosyncrasies to be dealt with. OC SOLAR was a reliable and timely partner in smoothing out the challenges. The install for me was very fast and within a month of signing. They also took care of my aesthetic requests to route cabling discreetly behind some roof features I have. I would strongly recommend OC SOLAR.

Good experience with OC Solar. I was able to get a new Tesla 3 PowerWall installed. I received assistance configuring the app and then ensuring the system was working properly. Thank you for all your support.

Recently the company that installed our solar went out of business and our solar was not working properly. We called OC Solar and they sent a technician out. I appreciate that I can speak to a live person who is knowledgeable (Alicia) and the technician (Jose) helped us get our system up and running. All in all I could not ask for a more professional experience. Thank you OC Solar.

I had a great experience with OC solar. The scheduling was simple easy and transparent. The electrician was very professional, polite and informative. All my questions were answered and new information on other products and services were presented.

OC solar has my system installed in 3mo. Believe this is really quick. The only delay was due to city permitting, inspection and Permission to Operate (from City/SCE). Like to give a specials shout out to Sean Shively the account and project manage. He's always responsive and goes out of the way to help and ensure smooth operations. The backroom support however was not very helpful (wrong information) and Sean always tries to keep in line. Again I finished my installation and running panel/battery and now waiting for monitoring status.

O C Solar was very professional and kept me informed throughout the installation. I have had no problems and my electric bill is extremely small compared to what it was before the solar install. I have recommended them to neighbors.

OC kept me posted every step of the way. Made clear what was happening when. And they followed through. Very professional and a pleasure to work with them. Always asking if anything needs to be done or answered. Excellent!

From start to finish, OC Solar delivered an exceptional experience. I began my solar journey with a lot of questions and a bit of hesitation. But OC Solar guided me every step of the way — from system design and financing options to permits, installation, and final activation. They were patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.

From start to finish, my OC Solar install was smooth and effortless. I didn’t have to lift a finger. With my Power purchase agreement, I’m saving money instantly on energy without having to spend a dime out of pocket. Highly recommended.

After receiving several estimates, we selected OC Solar for our solar, battery and EV charger installation in Palm Desert. We were hesitant to go with a company so far from the project site, but have generally been quite happy with their response, communication, performance, and quality of installation. OC Solar was also very good at following up through the onerous, lengthy approval and PTE process with Southern California Edison.

OC Solar made the buying process very simple and straightforward. They had transparent pricing and worked hard to put together a package of Solar plus Powerwall 3 that fit my needs. They were easy to work with and handled all the steps competently. Their installers were on time and did quality work.

Had been considering going solar for several years but never proceeded as our electric bill is relatively low -- essentially negating/limiting potential financial benefit. Elected to proceed this year after experiencing a nearly 48 hour blackout while visiting family in Northern California and anticipating the end of the federal tax credit. Chose OC Solar based on reviews, A+ BBB rating, equipment -- Panasonic panels and Tesla Powerwall 3 battery, being an established business, pricing -- much cheaper than some other installers though not the cheapest, proximity, and discussions with representative Sean **.
