OC Solar Reviews

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 **.

I just want to say thank you very much to Mr. Jake. You are awesome. I appreciate everything you've done for me. You're an amazing brother. Keep it going and also thanks for the company. You guys are amazing.

Jake was knowledgeable, patient, and willing to answer all of my questions in a straightforward way. I appreciate that kind of communication, especially from a salesperson. So far, so good. I will write reviews as the job progresses; hopefully as smoothly as the start has gone so far.

Thank you, Alicia for always returning our phone calls and answering my questions. I thought we were totally sunk when we found out our solar company was out of business . We had no idea. You assured me that you will be able to take care of our issue. After many questions, we needed a new cell tower. I called the old company two years ago when they were answering their phones and they could not figure it out . You did not try to oversell me, you tried to do what’s best for the customer and I truly appreciate that. Our worker came on time and was so kind and taught me what he actually did and how I can track on the app. The best part about it is I know the next time I call you will be answering the phone. Hoping batteries go on sale cause we wanna call you back.

We had a great experience with OC Solar. They worked well with our roofing contractor to coordinate removal and replacement of our panels so a new roof could be installed. After the work was completed they did a great job cleaning the panels. Additionally when the panels were replaced, they updated the mounting system.

I had a great experience with OC Solar. From the initial consultation through the final installation of my solar system and battery backup, they were organized, professional, and on schedule. Every step was explained clearly, and there were no surprises. The install team showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and kept everything tidy. The whole project was completed faster than I expected, and everything has been working perfectly. It’s a huge relief to know I’m covered during outages and reducing my electric bill at the same time. I’d gladly recommend OC Solar to anyone looking to go solar. Solid company, no headaches, and great results.

My solar installation company had been bought by a larger firm. When I needed to update my equipment, the larger company would not respond to my contacting them. I reached out to OC Solar and they quoted me a price the same day. The job took much longer than I believe they expected, but there was never any talk of changing the quoted price. OC Solar ended up having to move a lot of my installation inside. The crew were great and did not take offense to my questions as they worked. After the installation of the updated and new equipment, Austin kept in contact with me and made sure my battery was communicating with the monitoring company. Overall we were extremely pleased with the price, the work, the staff and the follow-up. We highly recommend OC Solar.

I had a very pleasant experience with them. Thing went very smoothly from beginning to end with minimal effort on my part. They come install and take care of everything. Their pricing was certainly better than their competitors. I highly recommend the company.

Proficient and highly knowledgeable. Fast installation and communication. They installed the panels in Half a day. Prepped panel and got the electrical panel ready for back up battery. Installed battery in a week and showed my how to use the app. Follow up with office and coordination with SCE and permits outstanding.

They were awesome, professional & took care of our solar situation when nobody else would. They helped figure out the problem, they were accommodating & super efficient. I will tell all my friends & family about OC Solar!

We had a lengthy permit processing time, but once the permit is issued, everything went through speedily. We had the panel, upgraded utility box and EV charger installed in 1 day! Abel and his crews were very professional and efficient.

Sales were so responsive and we were able to close the deal in just one hour. Looking forward to installing two Tesla Powerwalls as soon as possible. Matt was very accommodating and very professional and made feel at ease.
