Cosmic Solar Inc

Recently one of solar inverters started displaying an error code and quit working. I made 5 calls in 3 weeks trying to get them out here for warranty service with no response from their technical lead Kai. Finally a friend intervened and I set up an appt. They ghosted and never showed. I called them then they sent a tech to the wrong address which is one reason I always ask for a 30min call ahead on service calls. Finally they showed next day and worked on system and replaced a connector. Problem still exists and once again they are not responding to calls for warranty service. I wouldn't recommend this company.

Cosmic Solar was impressive from the first presentation through the roofing work, the installation of the solar panels and the final adjustments to the pool solar system. The company was thoroughly professional, efficient, and communicative, and have given us an excellent product and a fair price. They were honest about and kept to stated timelines, and were considerate of our particular situation. I can’t praise them enough. It is a no anxiety company. Many thanks to Ron, Arlene, Mary, Pey, Jose, and Teresa, Tom, Jose, Cesar, and Javier. I’m sure I’ve missed someone. They all worked and coordinated with us for an excellent experience.

When shopping for a solar system we received bids from several companies, with Cosmic Solar providing the optimum system at the best price. They were very timely with regard to permits and scheduling. The only snag ended up being the approval from our HOA, which took a bit longer than expected. Once installation started, it was full speed ahead. Our 30-year old roof needed several repairs to meet all the installation requirements. This was efficiently and reasonably ($) handled by Alfredo's Roofing, who does a lot of work for Cosmic Solar. The installation team was courteous and professional, completing the installation in just a few days and the office staff was excellent in coordinating schedules, payments, etc. Highly recommended!.

Jose Durran managed the project from start to finish, very polite and helpful and informative. All workers were polite and professional.

Excellent from beginning to end. Knowledgeable about all types of installations, laws and regulations. Quick, responsive customer service from office, sales people and installers.

Personable well informed, Sales person courteous, uniformed, helpful service people. Installation, neat, clean, well positive follow up-excellent.

Every step of the way was professional. Installation Techs were knowledgeable and friendly.

The company president, Bahram Shadzi did a superb presentation of his proposal to zero-out my electric bill. His staff followed with preconstruction visits to assure accuracy and completed project in one day.

Cosmic is a top rated company. Very professional. Excellent service from estimate to final install. Everyone from owner to the installers were wonderful and easy to work with.

This was a lengthy process, from getting the loan, getting approved from our HOA, to getting in line to have the panels installed. They were always very responsive and considerate. I work from home, and we needed to turn the power off for a few minutes. They were willing to work with me, when I was ready, which was awesome. The work was actually completed ahead of when we had originally thought we would be able to get them installed. The process was easy with this company.

Great experience w/ cosmic. Best price, most knowledgeable outfit among the 10 companies I interviewed. The kicker they accept payment only when the job is complete!!!

They were wonderful.I would use them in the future.

It went excellent. They had competitive prices and are partnered with bank who had incredible loan deals and financing. I have and would recommend them to others.

It was a long journey, that took from May until December to finish. Our house has concrete shingles and neither my wife nor I really like the look of solar panels on the roof. We do have some yard space, but did not want to dedicate any of it to a bunch of panels on the ground. Additionally, being in a high fire location, we do not have trees near our house, and shade is non-existent. So, I wanted to have a basic carport installed over the end of the driveway, to provide shade for our vehicles, if they are parked outside, and to provide a structure to install the solar panels. This was no easy task. I had contacted may, highly recommended, solar companies but none of them wanted the liability of the carport. They could easily install on the roof, or put it on the ground. If I wanted a carport, I would have to have it built, then they would come out and install on it. Sounds fine except Murphy's Law would ensure that when the carport was completed, the structure would not be the right dimensions or something, and the solar panels would still need to go on the roof. I needed a company who was willing to work with a contractor so they could ensure that the structure was built up to code, and was capable of holding 40 panels. After at least nine months of searching companies, I found Cosmic Solar while doing a search on Angie's List. I reviewed their website and first impression was they were going to be too small to do the work. I had no doubt they could do the solar end, but they were only a family outfit, so if the big companies wouldn't work with a carport, I was sure these guys wouldn't either. Well, Bahram Shadzi does love what he is doing, and a carport was just a small obstacle to overcome. He came out to see what I was interested in, and he did not bring a sales pitch with him. I obviously knew the panels could go on the roof, or the ground, but he had worked with other contractors before, and he would be able to get a carport completed for a reasonable price of around $16k. I had been quoted up to $75k from a few other companies, for a basic carport, the kind you see at all the community colleges and parking lots. This was the middle of May. Well, the permit process in Poway is not run like a British train. To make matters more difficult, the contractor building the carport, Baja Construction, was going to have to have the inspector on-site when they had to weld, and also at their facility when they welded some parts there. The weeks turned into months and in late September, the City of Poway approved our permit. That allowed Baja Construction to start building the structure. October brought a few minor changes to the plan and everything was in line for a start date of 24 November. Yes, Thanksgiving weekend, and we had to families coming to town for the weekend! There's that Murphy's Law thing again. The team from Baja Construction did a great job but I don't think the site engineer told them what to expect. You see, we sit on top of solid granite, and the support beams had to be set in a 5' x 10' by 36" deep block if concrete. I now have a lot of stone lying around incase I want to build a stone wall around my yard. The guys came out every day except Thursday and Sunday to Jack Hammer the granite and complete the work. Once the concrete was set, the structure was finished in a day, and the panels took two more. Then we waited for all of the final inspections and were given the go ahead to use the panels on the 19th of December! None of this would have been possible if Cosmic Solar had not stayed on top of the project. Pey, came out for every important inspection, or project milestone, and was extremely easy to work with. They worked all of the permit processes and coordinated with the sub-contractor, Baja Construction. I did have doubts throughout the project, and many times wished I had "settled" for panels on the roof, but now that it is complete, I am extremely happy that we stayed with the plan. Having the extra coverage over the driveway provides the shade we need, and I watch my power production daily. Even though we are still in the short days of winter (yeah, 90 degrees in February), we on occasion, produce more than we use. Winter is our larger energy months, since the breeze keeps us cool in the summer, so I'm looking forward to zero electrical bills over the year.

Love this company!! Always on time. Very responsive to all questions except for $1k to get permit. Did not take any money until system was fully approved and operational. Total price was very reasonable for our system size. Very little I had to do after contracting them. Very high quality company and staff.

It went really well. I was very pleased. It took about five days to complete. They cleaned up after the job was completed. I like their customer service. The president and owner of the company comes and helps you to decide what your needs are. They require very little money down and didn't require any payment until the job was completed. They go out of their way to please their customers. We had a minor issue after the job was completed, and they were right on it to get it corrected. It accomplished above and beyond what I had hoped. It took away 99% of my electric bill and we use a lot of energy. We have three air conditions and several heat presses, a lot of equipment.

From start to finish, this was an extremely positive experience. I interviewed representatives from four different solar companies prior to contacting Cosmic Solar. Cosmic's low pressure, highly professional approach to the sales process was educational and reassuring. This is a very well run family business and the owner, Bahram, is a highly knowledgeable engineer. His son, Pei, supervises the installation process and was on the job site every day. Every time commitment was met, every question and concern was addressed promptly and there were no additional or hidden costs associated with the project. The system is now up and running and producing as promised. Cosmic Solar has my highest recommendation.

Steve did a great job however the combo of financing and total cost didn't allow us to come to a deal. All equal would have used them |

Provided quote for photovoltaic solar electric system. |Bid was within $0.01/Watt of another bid, but Cosmic was not as confident they could complete project before the end of the year. Very knowledgeable and professional.

It turned out very well. We have not paid an electric bill since that time and it has been four years. He could have put panels on the side of our home and did not know this. He instead put a few on the front of our home as he followed what the people said. When he got the panels on they informed him they would have worked with him on the placement. They were very communicative, nice, did the job when they said they would and the technicians were very good. He was an engineer and really knew what he was doing compared to other service providers.

The service was unbelievably successful. This is the best thing that I have ever did. My gas and electric bill went from $400.00 a month to $5.00. They were very thorough with the estimate. They got all of the permits and they started on time and finished on time. I was very happy with the service.

There were rebates and other things that brought my actual out of pocket cost down considerably, but that's the way it is with solar; you still have to pay that money. When selecting a contractor I was fairly careful and got multiple bids from different companies in the area and investigated solar quite deeply. The owner of the company and his wife came out and we sat down and talked a long time. I liked what I saw so I had them write up a bid. The bid was exceptionally detailed and the price was very competitive with other prices I had seen. The end result was that I feel like I got more for my money than I would have done from other providers. They are local, which I liked; they have been here a long time. They did a first rate job.
