A standing ovation is deserved for this Solar Symphony performance!! Mark Nelson provided excellent sales advise and prompt quoting. We purchased a 5.2 kW system for our new home in Encinitas. Pricing was very fair based on other quotes we received. We were kept informed all along the way. Everything went smoothly and as promised. We strongly recommend this company and have already done so!

We recently had our solar installed with Solar Symphony after getting quotes from 6 different companies. Solar Symphony was by far not only the best quality of materials but was also the lowest quote for the same quality of panel. I worked directly with Mark Nelson as the sales consultant throughout the process. I was getting estimated times of install from other companies that pushed me out 4 months. Mark took my experience from fantastic to outstanding when he had me installed and up and running within 4 weeks of signing the paperwork. The install crew, Jose Badillo (foreman), Fernando Vasquez, and Gustavo Cervantez were absolutely the most professional crew I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Their quality, attention to detail and overall workmanship were top notch and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. This is my 3 time to install solar on my prior homes. Solar Symphony, the company, people and experience has by far exceeded all of those hands down. I dont think I could recommend them enough to anyone. What an amazing experience. Thank you all.

IMO character of a business in service industry is most important when there are exceptions or things are not going as expected/planned. Working with Solar Symphony has been an amazing experience from start to end. They assigned a professional to take you through every step and they were always on or ahead of schedule. We worked with Rachel, and she was always quick to respond and even during holidays. There is never a push for payment. Prices are very competitive and quality is awesome. We are very happy with Solar Symphony.

If I could rate solar symphony a ZERO I would! They have the worst customer service and take forever to get anything done! My whole system was off for 5 months and they did nothing to fix the issue until I threaten to sue! I had to hire another solar company to fix all the issues that they couldn’t/wouldn’t. They are very deceiving and dishonest.

Found Solar Symphony through SDG&E. Respond on time. Very pleasant to work with. Did not over sell panels for our minimum average monthly annual use. Fixed a problem that may or may not have been their problem. So thorough. Highly recommend.

Working with Solar Symphony was a complete pleasure. A client of mine hired Solar Symphony to do his residential solar installation and he gave them rave reviews so I contacted them. They were about 30% cheaper than the major players - you know, those guys with the huge sales staff bugging you every time you enter Home Depot or Lowes. The system was affordable enough that we were able to cover our entire electric bill with a system that would pay off in under five years. Much better than any lease.Once we gave the green light, we went from signing the estimate to turning the system on in about 30 days. Most of it was waiting for the city to do their inspection. Installation was two days. The team was professional, courteous and quick. These guys really have their act together and are quite efficient.I recommend Solar Symphony to ANYONE who is thinking about going solar. After you are done, you will run your A/C with no worries and rest easy knowing you just got rid of your electric bill and protected yourself from future pricing increases. These guys rock!

I had an excellent experience in working with Solar Symphony. Their industry knowledge, customer focus, flexibility was top notch. Dave my installer was extremely professional, a great resource and he went out of his way to install the best system that was physically possible. The Program Management office were very efficient, keep informed every step of the way and were quick to get my system scheduled. Once my permits were received, my construction day was scheduled within a week and my installation was done in 3 days without a problem or issue.I couldnt be happier with the service and quality of the system and would highly recommend using Solar Symphony for your Solar needs.

Solar Symphony is an excellent and professionally run company. I reviewed some 15 solar companies before selecting Solar Symphony for several reasons -no hi pressure or baloney sales, a excellent competitive price near the low end of some 10 offers, a professional staff that was most pleasant to deal with and a well qualified installation crew. While we missed our installation date involving some 42 panels I will use them again in the near future for another home.

I recently installed solar power in my house done by solar symphony, they gave me a very good deal together with a very fast and professional job.Mark Nelson introduced the whole job and the contract precisely and specifically to the last details, with no pressure or unnecessary requirements and Shawn Springs and his team did a fast and efficient job installing the system in my house.Thank you solar symphony for your great and friendly job.

This has got to be one of the smoothest project Ive seen. Our initial meeting with Mark was great, Chris and the crew were awesome - getting the install done in a SINGLE DAY ! All the correspondence with the HOA, the city, the power company and city inspections, everything was really smooth from start to finish. It was a true PLEASURE dealing with Solar Symphony! We signed the paperwork on 2/15 and our system was up and running on 3/28. Solar Symphony took care of EVERYTHING. Easiest project EVER!I would HIGHLY recommend them!

Dishonest !!!!Their ad said 7.6kW for net $14,646 (the net is the small print that means after 26% tax credit)Anyhow before Tax credit it should be $19,791They told me that my ground mount system will be 23K (LG or Q-CELL panels + Enphase micro invertors)Here is the dishonesty, I got an official quote for $23,3601- The quote came out 300 watts less2- Lowest possible grade Chinese panels (Jinko !!)3- Its already 4K more than roof mount. but yet they came back and said they didnt have the trenching cost included in the quote!!!!! . (so why the extra 4K?)Bait and switch???I find them just DISHONEST and GREEDY so be careful.

Solar Symphony knocked it out of the park!Right from the start Mark walked me through all the design considerations as he explained the solar power features and installation process in detail. Albert and his installation crew were very professional and made sure the installation was done exactly as I requested. They adjusted the component locations and made sure the panels were installed without a gap between the groups for me. Dave was here an hour early to make sure everything went smooth with the inspection.In the office, Bethany was super responsive and made sure my project progressed quickly - we went from a signed contract to an operational system in less than 6 weeks! Thats half the time the other companies are taking. And the best part is they were several thousand dollars cheaper than any of the other numerous estimates I received.I would absolutely go with them again - I highly recommend you give them a call.

I was very pleased with my solar installation by the Solar Symphony staff. They arrived when they said they would and were courteous and polite. They were very respectful of my property. We had no problems with the installation or set up. When the inspector required us to trim back a shrub that was near the electrical box....they offered to do it for us so we could comply. Impressive! I wouldnt hesitate in recommending Solar Symphony to my family and friends.Kim Urry

I recently purchased a solar system from solar symphony. They are a low sales pressure company that offers a great product at a great price. They are also very friendly and nice to work with. I am very pleased with my system and would highly recommend them to anyone in the marketplace searching for solar.

Solar Symphony was the best company I have worked with.... Maybe ever. From the first meeting to give us a bid to the last meeting to show us how the system works, the professionalism and customer service was exemplary. They performed more work with better components for less money than any of the Companies we contacted.Their staff kept us abreast of the paperwork and permit progression. Helped us with our portion of the paperwork. Stayed on schedule with installation (early in fact). Performed professional installation including special mounts for a Spanish tile roof.In all...... EXCELLENT!!Ps. make sure to ask them about the HERO program.

First, I am an IT project manager who was an electrician in his 20s. I knew solar was a no-brainer, but making an informed choice on which company to use is hard work. I looked at it for over a year and I did my homework. I decided on Solar Symphony b/c theyd also done their homework. The equipment was right. The engineering design was right. The price was right. The references checked out. From the point I signed the agreement, they got the designs, permits, installed, inspection, and had PTO in less than 60 days. I might have gotten lucky on the timing, but clearly couldnt be happier with my system and how smoothly things went. Highly recommend!

If your looking for a no nonsense company that delivers quality work in a timely manner this is the company you want to install your solar needs. I have had a few systems installed over the years and this company has far exceeded all of my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for solar.

Awesome experience. After getting 6 different quotes from all the top rated solar companies in San Diego a friend that I work with recommended Solar Symphony, which he and his mom had just used to install their systems. I am so glad that he did. They came in with by far the best quote and were able to get my system installed and through final inspection and sign off with SDGE within 5 weeks of signing the contract. They were able to sneak me into NEM 1.0 just in time! I highly recommend them.

I could not possibly be more pleased with this company. They delivered more than they promised. We signed the contract on a Thursday. By the next Friday (eight days later), they had already installed all of the panels and converter, etc. By the next Tuesday we had permission from SDG&E to turn it on. So, in 12 days from contract signing to completion. The system is performing better than promised. Before signing on, we were in discussion with them. Some friends signed their contract about one week before us. We mentioned our friends name, and even though they hadnt officially recommended us to SS, SS gave them a $500 reward.

Review №25

In deciding to install solar panels on our new house, we followed a strict criteria for vendor selection. They needed to be very professional, widely recognized as reputable, highly qualified to undertake the project, and provide the best knowledge and value for the equipment involved.Solar Symphony epitomizes each of these core values. Rob has surrounded himself with a GREAT team: Mike was fantastic in overseeing the project, Summeur coordinated with complete transparency and assurance, Henry was a pleasure to interface with during the install, and his team Brett, Aaron, Joey, and Graham were commendable with their workmanship/professionalism.Solar Symphony were put up against multiple bids from Solar City, Verengo, and various other local vendors; they put them all in the back seat by exemplifying every core value I mentioned above. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Solar Symphony because in this space, theyre in the drivers seat.

I was very pleased with the service I received from Solar Symphony. My permit to have solar installed in my roof got held up by the city and the people at Solar Symphony worked diligently to get things going again. I was always given updates regarding the progress that was made. After the permit issues were resolved the install was finished fast. These guys worked hard for me to build a beautiful array on a challenging roof. They were courteous, efficient, and always left the work area clean and safe. They were always able to answer any questions I had, provide explanations regarding technical information with expertise, and completed my install exceeding my expectations.

Review №27

I decided years ago to do solar but it never penciled out and the most I can get on my roof was about half my usage. Technology has advanced and new panels are more efficient and while prices may have not gone done, electric rates have gone up about 50% for me in the past 2 years so if your on the fence, now is the time to do. Payback is about 4-7 years which is pretty good.So why Solar Symphony? I had about 5 bids and pretty much knew what I wanted in terms of capacity, panel brand (LG) and inverter brand (SMA) and most sent out sales people of questionable knowledge of the systems. Solar Symphony actually was the first that came out that really knew their stuff and it didnt hurt that their prices for the equipment that I got were also lower.They did the design and sent it off for city approval which took a few weeks. They then came out to install and that took a few days but another week or so to get city inspection and another few weeks to get power company permission to operate.Overall the experience was very good and I would recommend Solar Symphony for price, quality of work, knowledge of the product and quality of equipment. I look forward to many years of free electricity.

Excellent experience from start to finish!We did our research and consulted with several other solar companies before we finally decided to have Solar Symphony install our system. After reading plenty of horror stories people experienced with other companies, we feel very lucky to have picked them. From the initial meeting with Mark to all the hand-holding by Summeur, the flawless installation and Mike’s help with the SDG&E permit – everything went smoothly and they were very professional and pleasant to work with. The install job was very neat and they completed the work ahead of time. We couldn’t be any more pleased! We now understand why all those online reviewers gave them a five star rating! You cannot go wrong choosing Solar Symphony for your solar purchase. They deliver a great product at a competitive price and they provide excellent customer care and service.

I had Solar Symphony design and install a 10.3 KW solar system for my two story home in Irvine, CA. I chose to use the LG335 panels (31 total). I received quotes from three other highly rated companies. When comparing apples to apples they were the least expensive. From start to finish the process was seemless. They were very good working with the Association and navigating through all their bureaucratic red tape. They always had someone at the house to help walk the local governemtn inspectors through the inspection precess. Ultimately, the job was finished in less than 3 weeks without a hitch.

Solar Symphony Solar SystemOur purchase of a solar system from Solar Symphony Construction was an enjoyable experience. When committing to a significant purchase such as with a solar system, homeowners like us are sensitive to return benefits versus our investment. From the out start we had the confidence that we were making the right decision to select Solar Symphony.Mark Nelson, Symphony’s sales rep was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. His presentation of the system was intuitive, in depth and complete. All or our questions and concerns were answered. Excellent customer service.Superintendent Dave Adams and his installation crew did an excellent system installation. Dave kept us updated as the installation progressed. The system was installed exactly to specifications, neat, clean and all trash picked up. Note: Dave was unable to install and instruct us on system monitoring because his wife was in the hospital having a baby. Dave called us from the hospital to make sure we were taken care of which we were. Superb!Mike Curtis, Director of Operations was in touch with us throughout the contract, installation, and system power up phases. Mike came to the house and installed the system monitoring equipment and instructed us on the operation. Excellent management.All things being said, the system installation commenced on a Monday morning. The following Tuesday (8 days) the installation was complete, was locally inspected and approved, and SDGE authorized the interconnect. The switch was thrown. The system is performing with generated output power exceeding our expectations.Satisfied Solar Symphony customers,Jack and Patti Batchie, Escondido, CA

From start to finish, Solar Symphony made the whole process of going solar as smooth as possible. Their experience clearly shows as they worked directly with our HOA and City of Encinitas through the permit process. Construction took less than a day to complete and they did a great job. The Solar Edge app is great too and easy to install to your wifi. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Solar Symphony. When I first got to researching solar, I asked a good friend who he used as I wanted a personal referral. He was a very happy customer and sent me Mark’s contact info at Solar Symphony. I immediately checked their reviews and I was blown away at how high they are. We got our initial quote from Solar Symphony and I also got two others. One other company was highly reviewed as well, but the salesman who visited left several things out of the quote until I asked them about it (Solar Symphony missed nothing). Then the other company said they needed to do additional work (at added expense) to make the project work. When I turned them down to go with Solar Symphony they got downright juvenile. All that time I was getting other quotes, I got no pressure from Solar Symphony at all. I went back and asked for a revised quote for a slightly smaller 5.9kWh system and it was provided without question. Solar Symphony had the best price of all my quotes and the best warranty. I also liked their long company history so I know they will honor their work. The only logical choice was to go with Solar Symphony. They reached each milestone on the project ahead of their projected schedule. Albert and his great group of guys had the system completely installed in 2 days and my entire family felt comfortable with them being there. They went above and beyond in several ways… they patched chipped roof tiles they found during the install, color match painted all of the conduit, and gave me a good inspection of my roof tiles and underlying paper. They even left some extra new roof tiles and color match paint in case I need them later. I still can’t help but notice a friend’s house that has all the conduit unpainted. His solar was installed by SunRun.The city inspection went flawlessly and I didn’t even have to be home which was very convenient. They went above and beyond even at the very end of the process once we received our permission to operate from SDG&E. I was out of town for a weeklong vacation and I thought the system was powered on the day we left, but it wasn’t producing according to the online app. I wasn’t sure I had turned it on correctly, but I had hoped to be producing the week we were gone. I could not check it myself and Bethany had a tech come out Thanksgiving eve to ensure the system was up and running while we were away. He turned on the system and we were producing that day. We live pretty far out in East County which is not very close to Solar Symphony’s main location and I explained I didn’t want anyone to cut into their holiday just to get my system turned on while I was out of town, but she insisted. All that to say, from initial quote, to install, to city inspection, and final walk through, this company has been top notch. They do amazing work and are great at communication. They would be my first choice to anyone getting solar.I love that their advertising is only through word of mouth referrals. You can’t go wrong with that.

I was extremely impressed with Solar Symphony who installed my 9.3KW system in Sept 2015.Dont waste your time evaluating any others - Solar Symphony rocks!(I will mention this upfront - Just in case you think this review is too good to be true its not and I am not getting paid for it - I have a lot of experience hiring contractors, handymen etc. for various jobs large and small. There guys are one of the best if not the best I have come across in my dealing in San Diego in 20 years!)I am an engineer, heavy DIYer and did all the research already for all the companies you would likely look at in San Diego or Orange county.There is no comparison - see my details notes here if you have any doubts.They were:- highly professional in all aspects- respectful of my property- very competitively priced and extremely flexible in terms of payment amounts vs. milestones across the duration of the projects- honest and transparent- 2 days for installing 36 panels!! Yes 2 days only- great follow up- went out of their way to research some specific request I had- took initiative where necessary to minimize my time requiredI researched 7 different companies some big and some small across San Diego area.I chose Solar symphony for the following reasons:- cheapest by far (same panels/inverters setup from others were 20% more $!)- fully transparent, non pushy sales approach- more flexible on payment amounts across different milestones of the projects vs any other company- local company with guarantee of backup funds in case things go wrong in several years- best warranties of all companies on roof work, solar panelsExtra things they did above and beyond (and not done by other companies for my neighbors who used some other companies)- did extra work for me without cost (researched local monitoring solution, rewired inverter connection to plug in via wired Ethernet vs. wireless only to my router for data monitoring)- took initiative to paint all conduit to match house and roof, tile stucco color themselves (did not ask me for paint etc.) and did an excellent job that I would be proud of myself.- I am a big DIY guy and the job they did was very professional and very secure racking for the panels, nicely uniform setting of the panels and discussed with me at my house before making any changes some slight changes of the layout they thought maybe good vs. original layout on drawings- Priority for them was on a good install and satisfied customer. Second was the payment.... shows where they focus is on customer service - EXCELLENT.I have recommended them already to several friends and neighbor vs. any other company in San Diego like Baker, Sullivan, Petersen Dean, Semper Solaris, Solar Alliance, Helio Power, etc. (I evaluated all of them and being and engineering Solar Symphony was by far the best).My system has been up for 4 months now and operating flawlessly and 0 issues of any sort.Regards,Sean

Where do we begin... From the top to the bottom Solar Symphony has professionals at every point in the process. Not only did they have the best cost for our particular system, but they went above and beyond at every level.We had several conversations from sales, operations, and the owner and found them to be extremely polite, courteous, honest, responsive and flexible. In addition to setting up the traditional solar, they were able to accommodate my request to install a 240 Volt Charger for our Ford Focus EV.I am the epitome of Analysis Paralysis and finding the right solar company was no exception. After sitting down or talking to 9 different providers, I quickly realized there were two camps: PPA [20-yr lease] pushers and IMO the better option, solar purchase. I was interested in buying the system and obtaining a low interest rate 10 yr loan (Home Equity or Solar) with monthly payments that were lower cost to than our average monthly electric bill.So we were down to about 4 companies that actually wanted to sell the system without leasing. BTW I checked what it would cost to buy the equivalent system from those PPA leasing companies and it turns out it was about a 30-50% premium. yikes. Dont get me wrong, PPAs may make sense for folks who do not have the cash or means to get a low interest long term loan.After narrowing to 4 companies, I then had two friends recommend Solar Symphony, but I already had 4 solid quotes from 4 great solar companies, so I was a little skeptical. Mark, one of Solar Symphonys account managers, was extremely professional and cut through the bologne. Hes able to converse on all levels, but I wanted to know the details basically how much, how long, and when. The major botteleneck in how log as one would suspect is the power company SDGE.Their quote was the best in our case and they agreed to flexible payment options and installing the EV charger at cost.Obviously dont just trust these rave reviews, Go and get quotes from the reputable solar companies and I strongly believe you will find Solar Symphony to the be the lowest cost, highest quality/service companies in San Diego! Thanks Solar Symphony, I no longer pay any electrical bills for the house or my commuter EV car. Our break even is shorter than I expected ~ 6.5 years. AWESOME SAUCE!
