OC Solar

OC Solar is the best. Their customer service and quality of service has been great! It’s been over a year since installation and I am very happy I went with OC Solar.

I narrowed it down to 3 solar companies. Based on the reviews and the fact they didn't contract out to a bunch of different companies I decided to go with Orange County Solar. I wasn't disappointed. They were very professional, they kept me in the loop every step of the way, if I had any questions the were quick to respond, and they cleaned up after themselves. The installation looks great and my electric bill is pretty much non-existent. I highly recommend Orange County Solar.

Orange County Solar - Overall a Solid Job Orange County Solar (OCS) was the only reputable mobile home solar installer I found in the region, and overall, they did a good job. All interactions were handled professionally. The project timeline, from Jul 7 to Aug 10, was reasonable for the scope of work. Due to availability issues, the planned battery was upgraded to a 16KW model at no additional cost, which I greatly appreciated. Communication with Ashton was excellent, providing reassurance about the rafter support for the PV panels installed on my coach. However, a few areas could have been improved: • Communication around the battery rebate process was lacking, though to their credit, they are actively working with the SGIP team to resolve it. • OCS informed me that Permission to Operate (PTO) had been issued on Sep 26, but it wasn’t actually granted until Oct 10. The delay was partially due to the battery upgrade. I did make the final payment six weeks before the project was fully completed, which was outside my usual practice. • The Solar Edge system management app provided (thanks for that) requires an API key to track energy usage. It took me some time to figure it out.

I had an outstanding experience with OC Solar from start to finish. Walter's professionalism and calm demeanor immediately set the tone for a smooth process, even amidst the stress of a power outage. They guided me through the quoting and loan process with patience, making sure I fully understood everything. The installation team, led by Jose with Hugo and Francisco, went above and beyond, staying focused even through unexpected challenges like a sudden downpour. Their attention to detail and efficiency was remarkable. The equipment—a Tesla Powerwall paired with Panasonic panels—is top-notch, and the pricing was excellent for the quality. Thanks to OC Solar, I now have a reliable, renewable energy source and peace of mind knowing I chose a company that truly values customer satisfaction. I highly recommend OC Solar for anyone considering solar energy—they exceeded all my expectations.

I couldn't be more impressed with OC Solar! From start to finish, the entire team was fantastic. A special shout-out to my project manager, Jesse, who kept me informed every step of the way. The installation team, including electrician Kelly and foreman Jose, was absolutely amazing. They completed my solar installation within 8 weeks of signing, which was faster than I expected! Everyone was so respectful of my property and time, kept the work area clean, and were a real pleasure to be around. Construction can be stressful, but OC Solar made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend them to anyone considering solar!

I have contemplated for years getting solar panels for my home. Every time I looked at reviews of customers who had panels installed and never could find one that had good reviews. I didn't want to deal with the frustrations that others experienced. I was told about OC Solar by one of their customers. I can't say enough about the high level of professionalism, the exceptional level of communication and quality of work. OC Solar far exceeded my expectation. If anyone is hesitating due all of the bad experiences that you have he about other installers then I authorize OC Solar to have potential customers call me. You can rest easy choosing OC Solar.

Way back I had my solar panels installed by OC Solar, which they have done great job with pricing and customer service. Now, when I had my roof changed, I called them for removing the panels and installing back. Again, the customer service and the service was very good and all the employees I spoke were very kind. I even recommended some of my friends and they are even happy.

Great job. 7th time using this company.

Wanted to share how pleased we were to work with OC Solar on our solar panels installation in Irvine, CA. We interviewed about 7 or 8 companies prior to signing contract with OC Solar and I am happy to say that we made a right choice. I hope that our experience will help somebody in search of an installer to make a decision. First of all, all of our interactions with the company - from sales to installation coordinator - were pleasant and professional, constant communication in every step of the process. We got NEM 2 paperwork submitted and approved on time, got all the permits and necessary signatures right away, there was not a single hiccup. We have a difficult roof material and OC solar found a way to install on it without complete reroofing. All in all, I would highly recommend OC Solar

Do not use this company. They took my $1,000. deposit. After finding out they cannot do the job, they did not refund me my deposit. I have been trying for two months to get my deposit back. They have been giving me the runaround. I will file a small claims lawsuit.

My installation was a mess. Big hole on the wall, broken tiles, broken nails and cable wire fragments on the roof after installation. Customer service would never do anything except keep promising the job will be done soon and nobody would come after weeks. Now after only 4 months usage, none of the 15 panels produce any energy. Their service monitoring is a lie because when I reported to them and they do not even know my service is down. Of course, after report the outage more than 2 weeks, customer service still cannot schedule anyone come to checkout the issues. So good luck with your installation.

OC SOLAR was easy to work with. I had the installation process for both business places happened at the same time. It was painless, surprisingly fast and turned out beautiful. You don’t have to evacuate any day. They send an inspector, email the big plan, you look over and approve or question, all cleared then then installation, another guy comes out to hook you a solar control box, you keep track of your usage through an app if you’d like. It was clear as day, brief as wind, easy as wow.

Nothing but good things to say about Orange County Solar!!! We interviewed several solar installation companies and received many proposals – but OCS stood out from the beginning! From the design of the solar panels to the thorough and thoughtful analysis of my energy needs. Based on competitive pricing and superior product we made the decision to go with OCS – and very happy we did. We were kept informed throughout the permitting process and when finally ready to do the solar install, the crew showed up on time and ready to go. The solar panel installation was clean and while the equipment certainly takes up some space they mounted everything as unobtrusively as possible and painted what they could to match the existing stucco. Any problems, issues or questions were addressed immediately and with the goal of providing the best service and the best solar system for my needs. The real test came recently when Edison shut down power for a few hours for maintenance. With the exception of a few very non-essential items shutting down I not only had full power but was still charging my batteries – even on an overcast day!!! Everything worked seamlessly. Thank you Orange County Solar

We used EnergySage to find them, but the reality is that we watched them do an installation down the street on our neighbor's house, and it looked really good. They were quick and clean, so we felt confident going with them. Things took a little longer than expected-- they were very busy-- so we missed the 2020 tax credits, but the system was installed and activated in a reasonable amount of time, and it's now earning us credits on our electric bill. Overall, I'm currently very pleased with Orange County Solar.

Orange County Solar is great, reliable and extremely professional. Ashton was very helpful in answering all the questions we had pre and post installation. Their installation crew was great and they completed all the work in a timely manner.

Vince's team from Orange County Solar are the only company iv'e ever felt worthy of 5 stars in every catagory. Here is why: Everything they said they did. They fullfilled on everything. Any issue I had, it was immediately Noted and addressed. Communication was top notch! They always picked up their phone even after the transaction was completed along with the job. I compared prices and quality and nobody beat OCS prices for the quality they provided. The product of the Panasonic install was what I wanted and it turned out beautiful. The install was a very smooth process as well. Additionally there roofing Job was amazing. I am pleased and recommend them to anyone who wants proffessionals that execute. Thanks Ashton and Vince!!!!!

Went great Came as promised Charged as quoted Gave us what we needed

Very pleased with every aspect of our relationship with Orange County Solar from start to finish. Their customer service is top notch and something we don't find often in this day and age. The quality of workmanship from installation to site cleanup was high. The people who worked on the project onsite were professional, thoughtful and communicative. While on-site they were efficient and effective. The office staff were responsive and provided quality answers and information. Top Notch!

I interviewed over 12 different solar companies - Vincent stood out from the rest because he didn't try to sell me on how crappy other companies are but instead he made me felt very comfortable on what his team can do for my solar needs. Other companies spent 80% of the time bickering about their competitors, which is a total turn off! They were quiet, respectful, treated my roof/house like their own (they didn't bang their ladder against my wall/roof for their installation). The connection from one side of the roof to the other is extremely neat. Aside from stress-free solar installation - I want to thank OC Solar for staying competitive on prices, which was an important factor for me to decide.

Orange County Solar has exceeded our expectations! I can't say enough good things about their entire team from start to finish. Courteous and professional install crews who were actually on time and ahead of schedule. It's hard to find contractors these days with that type of work ethic. They deliver a high quality product and are highly recommended.

Relatively few jobs are straightforward. I originally had a quote through OC Solar for a full roof tear-off, re-roof, and solar install. During this period the original roofer transitioned from residential to commercial and this effected the quote in the end. To be fair to OC Solar, roughly six-months expired between the quote and when we were ready to begin. OC Solar was flexible and understanding at all times when rectifying the situation and helped assist finding a good roofer at a fair price. After the roofing delays, the solar job was banged out efficiently but was also a clearly high quality install. I would recommend these guys to family and friends without hesitation.

Vinnie is a consummate professional, and has more knowledge and experience than other solar companies combined. You will receive expert suggestions and opinions to best suit your needs, not what some salesperson is trying to sell you. If you want honest, reliable and professional solar, then Vinnie and Orange County Solar is the only way to go.

I had a great experience with OC Solar from beginning to end! Jeremy, the Sales Manager, was great. He was able to put together a very competitive quote upfront, and was able to answer all my questions regarding going solar. Going through the research and process of getting solar quotes can be very stressful and confusing, but Jeremy was able to answer my questions thoroughly and he was able to provide his honest opinions regarding my solar system. I ended up going with a 6kW system with Panasonic HIT panels and Enphase IQ7+ microinverters. After the contract was signed, things moved very quickly and efficiently. Ashton, the project manager, always kept me updated regarding the timeline and when we would hit certain milestones of the project. In addition, the solar installation needed to be done concurrently with my roofing project. This added some logistical challenges, but Ashton was great and was able to accommodate and effectively coordinate his crew to work alongside the roofers. My system looks great and I know that I'll be in good hands for future support since OC Solar are an authorized Panasonic Solar installer, which means you get the extended 25 year warranty as well! Overall, I highly recommend OC Solar!

Oc Solar was an amazing experience. I was a little hesitant with starting the process but Jeremy who came out to my home was informative/detailed and not pushy with his presentation on what type of system would benefit my home. He answered every question and I had several haha. I decided to go with Oc Solar and it was a smooth and painless process. They do everything (project design, city permits etc.) The project manager Ashton stayed in communication with me throughout every step of the process. The guys who came out to do the install were also very courteous and informative on how to use the system/solar app. I only wish I would've started solar much sooner. It's nice when I check my Edison account and I see a negative or zero balance and I don't owe them anything! If you are on the fence about solar like I was, don't be! And give OC Solar a call and hear what they have to say. Nothing to lose and so much to gain. I strongly recommend them.

I have dealt with a lot of contractors and OC Solar is at the top of my list for 'best in class'. The sales process was great and the installation was seamless. I have already recommended them to three of my friends and their experience was identical, all three are already installed! I would recommend them to anyone!
