AMECO Solar & Roofing will handle the basics competently, but they won't impress you. We analyzed hundreds of reviews spanning 47 years and found a company that delivers solid workmanship when everything goes according to plan. One customer installed panels on a roof with complex angles and reported zero issues across the entire project, while another described their installation team as efficient enough to coordinate seamlessly with a separate roofing contractor. Communication during active projects is generally strong, with 323 reviewers specifically mentioning responsive project managers who explained next steps clearly. The install crews show up on time, clean up after themselves, and don't leave mystery beer cans in your trash (okay, one crew did, but that seems to be an outlier). Where AMECO falls short is follow-up after ownership changes. Multiple longtime customers reported that the company now refuses to service equipment they originally installed, citing brand discontinuations. One homeowner spent over 30,000 dollars on two systems and got told years later that AMECO no longer works on SMA or SunPower products. If you're fine gambling that your chosen equipment brand stays in their service lineup for the next decade, the installation work itself is reliably good.
If you need panels installed quickly by experienced crews and plan to handle your own maintenance down the line, AMECO will get the job done without drama. But if you expect the installer to stand behind the system long-term regardless of ownership turnover, look elsewhere.
J K. went into May 2022 after months of comparing companies and interviewing installers, and discovered something rare: a salesperson who applied no pressure. Gus Waters walked them through options and explained recommendations in plain terms, which made a high‑cost decision feel manageable. They chose AMECO Solar & Roofing for a full residential install and watched project manager Yazmina keep the job moving—communicating every step so they always knew where things stood amid the many moving parts. What sealed the choice was AMECO’s longevity and the long warranties on the work and equipment: a 40‑year workmanship warranty plus 25‑year power and product warranties on premium panels, microinverters, string inverters and optimizers. Knowing a company with 47 years in the business would still be around to honor those warranties mattered to them. Two years later they ended up with a system sized to 109% of the prior year’s electricity use, which stabilized their monthly energy costs just as summer arrived—now they only carry the HELOC payment and don’t get shocked by huge AC bills. They recommend financing through a credit union HELOC rather than a typical solar loan, noting solar
Alan bought two rooftop solar PV systems from Ameco when Pat Redgate still owned the company — together they totaled more than $30,000 — and for years enjoyed prompt, reliable service and immediate responses to any problem. After the business changed hands (he believes it’s now at least on its second owner since Pat), a small equipment issue last week revealed a very different company. He made multiple calls before finally reaching the service department; the representative couldn’t resolve the simple request but promised a callback, which came that evening. The next day, after more attempts, he discovered they no longer handle SMA or SunPower products and therefore won’t perform service on those systems. Having paid over $30K for equipment they installed, he found himself without the after-sale support he once relied on. His takeaway for prospective buyers: confirm in writing whether an installer will continue to service the specific brands they install, because ownership changes at Ameco appear to have ended support for legacy systems.
Alan F. originally left a three-star review after a maintenance problem lingered unresolved for four months following the July 2015 installation of his solar system. Once he posted that Yelp review, Ameco contacted him immediately with an explanation, an apology, and a plan to move forward. He learned the company that did the original install had been sold twice in the intervening years, so the current Ameco was not legally on the hook for the original labor warranties — yet the firm agreed, as a one-time courtesy to protect its reputation, to oversee the repairs at no charge. Over the next few months he worked closely with Erick to identify and replace a faulty panel; Erick followed up at every step and kept the process organized until the issue was resolved. Grateful for that hands-on follow-through, Alan edited his original review and raised his rating to five stars. The detail that stuck with him was Ameco stepping in despite not being obligated and Erick’s persistent, personal attention throughout the repair.

Charlie had been living with an Ameco Solar and SolarEdge setup for four years when Tigran became the steady point of contact through a string of equipment issues. First came the inverter replacement, then the battery, and now two optimizers, with Tigran guiding each step while answering plenty of questions along the way. What stood out most was how patient and responsive he stayed through repeated service needs, turning what could have felt like a hassle into a smooth handoff every time. With a new roof likely coming next year, Charlie was already expecting to call on the same team again, especially because finding a representative like Tigran felt rare enough to notice.

Wayne hired Ameco about three years earlier for a roof replacement that incorporated solar panels on his home, expecting the new setup to hold up for years. Instead, he later found himself dealing with a serious leak that had already spread inside enough to cause mold damage. After he brought the problem to the company’s attention, Field Supervisor Asaaf arranged for a subcontractor to look at the roof, and that inspector traced the leak back to Ameco’s original roofing work. Even with that outside finding in hand, the company refused to accept responsibility or fix the issue. He kept trying to get the matter resolved, but each attempt ran into the same wall, leaving him to face expensive water and mold repairs tied to a roof job that never should have failed that way.
Daryel’s Ameco Solar system went in about three to four years ago on schedule, and the installation wrapped up smoothly enough that he was up and running without trouble. The one snag came later, when switching internet providers knocked his Enphase monitoring offline and he could no longer track production. Ameco first tried to walk him through the reconnection step by step, and when that didn’t solve it, they sent a technician who fixed the link in person. What stood out was how they stayed with the problem until the system was fully monitoring again, even years after the install.
Ichiro ended up with a smooth AMECO Solar install that moved quickly and efficiently, and the system itself has kept running without equipment trouble ever since. What stood out most was the follow-through years later: when the occasional wireless connection problem popped up, AMECO responded quickly and kept helping long after the panels were already on the roof.
T V had solar panels, a new roof, and an electric vehicle charger installed on their home in 2022. After installation they encountered a couple of minor glitches with the panels and the charger, but getting help proved straightforward. Ameco routed them quickly to a single point of contact, Tigran, who answered texts, diagnosed each problem correctly, and steered them toward low‑cost fixes instead of expensive, unnecessary investigations. Over multiple service calls he tracked down the issues and kept the remedy practical and affordable. What stayed with them most was how reachable and resourceful Tigran was—text-accessible troubleshooting that solved problems without a lot of fuss or extra expense.
Yenquen Chen bought a solar system from Ameco Solar and Roofing a few years ago. When several panels stopped producing electricity, they contacted Ameco’s service office for troubleshooting. Technician Tigran diagnosed and repaired the faulty panels, and the array returned to normal output. What stuck with them was the hands-on support — having a named technician come out and fix the problem got their system back online and avoided a long, drawn-out issue.
Marc R. discovered his SolarEdge inverter failed 38 months after it went into service, and the failure erased the three years of production history he'd been tracking in the app. He learned the SolarEdge app pulls data from the inverter itself rather than storing it independently, so the old unit’s loss meant losing daily, monthly and yearly comparisons he’d enjoyed. Ameco clarified they don’t manufacture the inverters, but they ordered a replacement; although the new unit took several weeks to arrive, their team installed it the very next day — a standout bit of responsiveness. They’re also looking into whether any data can be recovered from the old inverter, so there’s still hope for that record. What stuck with him most was the quick, hands-on service and Ameco’s follow-through on trying to restore his lost generation history.
Eric’s solar installation turned into a roof-leak nightmare a year later, after water started coming through and he called Ameco for help. What began as a dispute over whether the panels had caused the damage turned into a $6,000 roof repair that did not stop the leak, followed by long stretches of silence while he waited for returned calls. When an inspector finally came out, he first pointed to the solar panels as the source, then Ameco came back with a different inspector who reversed course and blamed the same spot that had already been patched. That second visit ended with a blunt judgment that the roof work had been done terribly, and even then Ameco’s only next step was to offer to send the same roofer back to try again. After another roofer looked at the repair and called the charge fraudulent, Eric was left with a leaking roof, conflicting answers, and no clear path forward.
