Customer Testimonial: Tom Beaudoin
San Diego County Solar
When I began my search for a solar company, I started by asking three of my neighbors who had systems installed in the last couple of years. After hearing their experiences, I did my own research online—reading reviews and comparing companies. In the end, I reached out to San Diego County Solar and two other companies for quotes.
After meeting with each of them and learning more about what I was getting into, San Diego County Solar stood out. They went the extra mile to ensure I understood the benefits of solar specific to my energy usage history, and explained how today's options and rebates would impact me.
What truly sold me—aside from their competitive pricing per kilowatt and battery system—was that they brought out their working foreman to walk me through how and what they would install. That level of transparency and professionalism really mattered to me, especially after spending 40 years building mechanical systems right here in San Diego.
When the project began, the team introduced themselves, were respectful of my property, and always made an effort to communicate clearly. They paid attention to my requests and made sure I was comfortable with the process every step of the way.
I'm extremely happy I chose San Diego County Solar.

San Diego County Solar – Highly Recommend!

We just had solar installed at our home, and San Diego County Solar did an excellent job from start to finish. Their team was kind, courteous, and clearly knew what they were doing. They’re not just another solar company that installs your panels and disappears — they truly make you feel like part of their family.

They took the time to explain how everything works, and they even do periodic check-ins to make sure everything is running smoothly. My husband did a lot of research on different solar companies, and we’re so glad we chose this one. They are honest, knowledgeable, and always willing to educate and help.

The price was very reasonable, and the quality of service exceeded our expectations. We absolutely love this company and their people!

My experience and outcome with Seth and the San Diego Solar team was amazing. What really made me trust this team, was that they are truly passionate about what they do. It is not about making a buck, or churn and burn selling. They want to help the industry by offloading the grid and helping the environment. It is refreshing. Got a good amount of panels and the Tesla power wall. It is a great set up for supporting my pool equipment and changing my Audi. They also helped tune my needs and helped with optimizing my system well after installation. Thank you Seth and team!

If you’re looking for the best solar company in San Diego, I highly recommend San Diego County Solar. After meeting with several installers, Seth and his team clearly stood out. They offered the best quote, included more solar panels than other companies, and provided honest, no-pressure guidance—something that’s rare in the solar industry.
We installed 16 high-efficiency solar panels, upgraded our Main Service Panel from 100A to 200A, and added a Tesla Powerwall 3 for whole-home battery backup. San Diego County Solar handled everything for us, including SDG&E approvals, permitting, site inspections, and scheduling. The entire process was smooth, fast, and stress-free.
The workmanship was top-notch. They color-matched the stucco after the panel upgrade, brought in certified roofers to check the weatherhead and roof penetration, and made sure everything passed inspection with no issues. Their communication was excellent—they kept us updated throughout the install and made sure every detail was done right.
If you need solar installation, a Powerwall battery, or a 200-amp panel upgrade in San Diego, San Diego County Solar is a company you can trust. Professional, responsive, and high-quality from start to finish.

Working with San Diego County Solar and Seth’s team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the initial consultation to the final installation, their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail were second to none.

Seth is a true expert—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely committed to helping homeowners make informed decisions. He took the time to explain every aspect of the solar process, answered all our questions thoroughly, and never once pressured us.

His team mirrored that same integrity and care, showing up on time, working efficiently, and leaving our property spotless.
What really stood out was their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. The system they designed was tailored to our energy needs and budget, and the results have exceeded expectations. We’re already seeing significant savings, and it feels great to know we’re contributing to a more sustainable future.

If you’re considering solar in San Diego, I can’t recommend San Diego County Solar and Seth’s team highly enough. They’re honest, skilled, and truly passionate about what they do.

We were very happy with our choice of San Diego County Solar. They upgraded our main electrical panel (and handled all the communications and interactions with SDG&E so we didn't have to,) installed solar panels on our roof, installed a Tesla Backup Switch, and installed a new Tesla Powerwall battery. They managed the whole project, kept us informed, scheduled all necessary inspections, and obtained Permission to Operate from SDG&E. They also did a great job of working with the roofing company we selected to install a new roof. They communicated directly with the roofer (so we didn't have to serve as a middleman in the communications,) and coordinated schedules with them to ensure the mounts for the solar panels were installed at the correct point in the roofing process. Some other aspects of the business relationship we liked: San Diego County Solar did not request final payment (50% of the total) until we had Permission To Operate from SDG&E and were satisfied that the project was thoroughly completed. They were very responsive to emails and phone calls from us during the entire project. They also sat down with us at the end of the project to walk us through all the new hardware and software we received, and gave us a nice binder full of all the warranties, manuals, and reference materials we need to manage our installation going forward. We will definitely recommend San Diego County Solar to our friends and neighbors.

After turning away countless high pressure solar sales people away over the years, I'm so glad that I was recommended to Seth and his team at San Diego County Solar through a trusted friend. I was previously in the construction industry and can attest that the San Diego County Solar team take immense pride in the quality of their work, quality of materials used and overall look of the job - never cutting corners like the rest of the installs you see. Honestly, we have the cleanest install in the neighborhood (and proud of it!). Also, Seth took plenty of time during and after the installation process to walk me through the system, answer all my questions and make sure everything was working perfectly. Thanks again Seth!

Great service and product. Simon and his team made the install experience easy for us and a seamless transition to the best looking solar panels in the neighborhood.

Allied Energy is a fantastic company to do business with, they are extremely responsive and professional. I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for Solar, battery storage, or general electrical.

Allied Energy is a phenomenal electrical contractor to work with. They have a ton of knowledge in the renewable energy sector for both residential and commercial. That expertise has helped me make a lot of great decisions. Simon the owner is very responsive and takes ownership of any issue that might arise to solve it quickly.

What truly set Jonah apart was his dedication to ensuring we got the best possible deal. He meticulously compared different options, secured competitive financing, and even followed up after installation to ensure everything was running smoothly.
