    I’m not one who writes reviews to praise companies for doing what they contract to do, however when the business goes above and beyond what I expected, then I’m glad to praise them. San Diego County Solar and Mike Davidson did everything right when installing my solar. They also provided a superior design to their competitors, a lower cost, installed ahead of schedule and left the jobs it looking better than when they arrived. Furthermore, my solar system will save me more money Than I thought as the system is producing more electricity that expected.
    San Diego County Solar is the solar company you should use.

    Having checked out several solar companies in the San Diego area, we chose San Diego County Solar based upon our initial meeting with their general manager, Seth Tilley. His succinct delivery about the benefits and pitfalls of solar power as well as his forthright answers to our questions and concerns helped make our decision surprisingly easy. The further we got into doing research on solar energy, we were very pleased that Seth took the time either by phone or personal visits to make sure we understood everything we needed to know. His efforts to ensure we were comfortable with our decision and to make sure we understood the installation aspects of the package we chose made it a no-brainer. Once the installation process began, he was on site to ensure his team did the job right the first time. We are looking forward to powering our area of North County for the foreseeable future and appreciate the hard work of Seth and the San Diego County Solar team.

    The whole team was very professional and communicated during every step of the process from design to installation to turn on. Seth, Roy, and the rest of the crew were both great, professional, courteous, and neat. The job was finished on time with no issues and was activated by SDG&E the same day. Highly recommend using San Diego County Solar

    Mike Davidson of SD County Solar shared information with me concerning the economic/tax pros and cons of installing solar on my house without any sales pitches for his company. Upon seeing the value installing solar, I asked him to draw up a bid for his services and compared this bid with other providers. The bids were comparable and I liked Mike's professionalism and quality of equipment. The project was completed on time and without any problems. SD County Solar has been responsive to questions and came out quickly when I asked for assistance.

    Truly a 5 star experience with San Diego County Solar (SDCS). Lately it has become more difficult to find companies that provide quality service. We have been having ongoing difficulties with our solar system so we contacted SDCS. From the first contact Tim was courteous and clearly explained the costs involved in a systems check. Tim came out and was able to determine that our panels weren't working properly. He asked if we wanted to pay to gather the information neccesary to initiate a warrenty claim. We authorized the charges, Tim collected the serial numbers, and worked with the solar provider to obtain new panels, which we paid SDCS to install. SDCS is a professional company that provides high quality services and I recommend their services!

    I’ve been running solar for about a week now and I have nothing but positive things to say about San Diego County Solar. I dealt primarily with Seth from the company. He came out and gave my wife and I a very thorough presentation on how solar would work for us. He was passionate about his work and never pushed us to make a sale. The other companies we got quotes with both kept asking about how their prices looked and when we thought we would sign up. Seth seemed to care more about whether or not we understood how the whole project worked. That was a huge selling point for us.

    The actual workers who came out and did the installation were very professional and easy to communicate with. They kept me informed of what they were doing and what they needed from me. Seth was available during the entire project. He was at the house during some of it but also very accessible if we had any questions. And he continues to be helpful after the project helping us navigate our new SDGE bill. 5 out of 5.

    The whole team was professional and communicated very well. I always knew where we were in the project and why. Principally worked with Seth and Roy who were both great. The job was finished on time with minimal fuss. I really appreciated the thorough discussion and review of the current solar environment in California, what we needed based on our current and future usage rates, the clear spreadsheet layouts, what was possible based on our roof, and details on materials and installation. Absolutely would recommend this team to anyone and appreciated the fact that our panels were assembled in the U.S.

    Our solar installation, from San Diego County Solar, has been up and running for about one month. Seth always kept us informed: when the crew would be here, the next step(s), and in addition, was always available to answer our questions. The crew that worked on the installation were very neat, respectful, and professional. After the installation, Seth came to make sure we understood how to check our systems production on our phones, or computer (as seniors - we really need that type of help). If you're considering solar, call San Diego County Solar, they will come out, and give you the facts about solar, and then let you decide.(No Pressure Sales) GREAT JOB, and thanks again.

    We had solar installed a few years back and needed to add more. The company we had gone with before is now defunct and a friend highly recommended SD County Solar. Seth and the install team were super knowledgeable and were more concerned with us understanding how it all works rather than just selling, installing, and leaving. We had an older, broken panel and they tracked down the manufacturer to submit the claim and replaced/installed it for free. That was totally above and beyond. They take pride in their work and it shows. There are truly good people working here.

    San Diego County Solar was highly recommended by two of my colleagues. SDCS were very professional at each stage of the process from bid through installation and start-up. SDCS met all their obligations and kept me well informed of necessary changes from bid through final installation and turn-on. Their installation staff was professional and respected my property and my needs. I highly recommend SDCS.

    Mike & his team came highly recommended by a number of friends who had used SD County Solar. They lived up to the hype. My husband had a particular concern about the method most of our neighbors' homes were using for mounting the panels. Mike did research and discussed options with him. We settled on "portrait" method, which costs more but is less likely to cause leaks long term. The point is: Mike will listen to you and research your questions, if needed. Then he will discuss and help you make the best decision. It has been several months since installation and we are very happy with SD Solar and with our savings, and feel good about doing the green thing.

    We had a thoroughly professional - and enjoyable - experience with The San Diego County Solar team. The owner, Mike Davidson, gave us down-to-earth answers to all our questions, and the installation team was a great bunch. All our electricity last year was essentially free; with only 8 panels, we paid SDG&E about thirty bucks.

    We highly recommend this company. And by the way, there are 6 or 8 other happy customers in just our neighboring blocks!

    Our solar inverter broke during the hot summer. Although it is still within the warranty period, but the installation company, which promised to take care of the parts and labor in case of failure, doesn't exist anymore, leaving us with such a distress. I came across San Diego County Solar during online search, its outstanding reviews prompted me to contact the company. From the receptionist answering the phone to the service manager Tim returning my call, the subsequential communications with Tim, and Tim's quality work and professionalism, we are completely satisfied. Compared to some other companies we talked to, we feel San Diego County Solar is a very trustworthy company, we won't be hesitated to recommend the company to our friends or reach out to them again in our future needs. For home owners like us, whose original solar installation company has vanished, if your system stops working, search no further, San Diego County Solar is the one we strongly recommend.

    I was referred to Seth by friends that he had worked with previously. Being a new home owner and with no prior experience with solar, I really appreciated the time and care Seth took to explain everything to me and to work through a plan that worked best for me based on my needs. Seth is extremely knowledgeable and a really pleasant guy to work with. I wanted to finance the bulk of the cost and Seth helped me understand how to go through that process as well. My solar system has been functioning now for 3-4 months perfectly and I am already seeing big benefits. I cannot recommend Seth enough - he’s 5 star in all respects.

    I highly recommend San Diego County Solar. I did my homework before selecting them. Solar can seem intimidating to understand but Mike was great at explaining the process, giving a fair and competitive quote, and delivering just what he said the team would. There were no surprises. I really can't say enough about how great the experience to work with SD County Solar. Roy got all the paperwork through the city and SDG&E. Tim and Ian led the install team and communicated every step of the way. This is a company with excellent people who do excellent work. Solar really is great to have and San Diego County Solar made it an easy process!

    We were interested in installing solar at our home and shopped around with different companies. We were referred to SD County Solar by a friend and the introductory process with Seth was easily the best. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. Once we got the process going, the installation was smooth sailing and professional. We appreciated that SD County Solar was actively looking for methods to keep the solar panel aesthetic impact minimal (wiring, grounding, etc). Seth continued to follow up with us after the installation and ensured we were happy and answered all our questions. We love being a solar household now and would highly recommend SD County Solar!

    San Diego County Solar is simply the best solar panel installer in all of San Diego County. Supporting a local business, not a publicly traded company, was an important factor in my decision for choosing San Diego County Solar. Also, their price was the best. I worked with Seth. He is an industry expert and is passionate about what he does. I found Seth to be so patient with me, and let me ask as many questions as I needed in order to make my decision. Seth really made my solar panel installation experience seamless from beginning to end, ensuring I was happy the whole way through. Their entire crew is very courteous and respectful. I'm very proud to have solar panels and recommend San Diego County Solar to anyone who is on the fence about it.

    San Diego County Solar exceeded our expectations! We had a great feeling about them from the first phone call to our final Permission To Operate meeting! Seth was informative and honest with no high-pressure sales pitch. He was patient and answered all of our questions. The contractors they referred us to for our new roof and upgraded electrical panel were outstanding! Everyone who worked on our home was polite, efficient, and professional. The whole process went as expected and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend San Diego County Solar to anyone looking to go solar!

    San Diego County Solar was great to work with - we're very happy with our new system! Very professional and informational, friendly, and we didn't suffer the sales-heavy pitch from our sales agent, Seth, that we had experienced with other solar companies. Seth planned out our solar usage and anticipated what we'd need to add for with a new construction building. Easy to work with, good fair price - you can't go wrong!

    San Diego County Solar provided excellent service, excellent workmanship, and an amazing experience from start to finish on our solar project in Escondido, CA. I interviewed 8 solar companies and San Diego County Solar impressed me the most with their depth of knowledge and customer centric consultative approach. I really liked that they are local and independent and can choose to source whatever solar parts and products fit the client's unique situation. San Diego County Solar is a results oriented, solutions focused team. The install looks fantastic and the quality of the work is top notch. They also have great workmanship warranties and source products with strong guarantees. To Seth and the team, thank you for all your hard work! We couldn't be happier with our choice.
