Ameco Solar has a good reputation for helpful reps, fair pricing and efficient installations. It also has one of the longest warranties we’ve ever seen a solar company offer.
- “I recently hired Ameco Solar to do some solar panel work on my roofing last weekend. They were kind, professional, and worked efficiently. I am very satisfied with the way it turned out, highly recommend you hire them!” — Lily in Long Beach
You might need to replace your roof before installing solar panels, especially if you live in an older home. Solar panels last 25 to 30 years, so you need your roof to last at least as long. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay to remove the panels, replace the roof and reinstall the panels — an expensive and frustrating process.
Headquartered in Valley Village, Ameco is available to residential and commercial customers throughout California. Ameco generally charges between $25,000 and $30,000 for residential solar installations (before any financial incentives are applied).
- Services: Solar panels, composite shingle roofing, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and roof replacements are available. Post-installation, Ameco provides solar panel production tracking via app or website.
- Warranty information: Installations come with a 40-year warranty on the solar equipment.
- Payment options: Reps can help you find financing through solar loans if needed.
