One Planet Power reviews

Ivan Bagaybagayan hired Sam for a home solar installation and, a year after the panels went live, he still calls Sam with questions and gets answers. He appreciated that Sam never rushed the process—walking him through the system and taking time to explain every detail—and made clear he’d remain involved long after the install. He gave a five-star rating, and the lasting takeaway was simple: ongoing access to the installer even a year later.

Anindya found himself working with One Planet Power on a home solar project that never felt pushy or confusing, thanks largely to Paul Reichart. From the first consultation through activation, Paul broke down the system design, the expected power output, and how the new equipment would tie into the home’s electrical setup without trying to oversell a bigger array than the house actually needed. That practical approach carried through the install: Shorebreak Electric’s crew showed up on time, worked carefully, and kept the site clean and organized while handling the permits and utility coordination behind the scenes. What really made the project stand out was how fast and clear Paul’s communication stayed whenever questions came up, which turned a potentially stressful process into a smooth one. With the system now running, the home is producing clean energy and trimming electricity costs.

Wesley Ren started exploring solar in early October 2025 because SDG&E rates had climbed and the federal solar tax credit was set to expire on 12/31/2025. He connected with Sam, who answered quickly, helped size the system for his home, and steered him toward Shorebreak. Aaron and Kevin then took over the day-to-day: they stayed responsive, proactive, and transparent, keeping him updated at every step — even through a temporary panel shortage caused by the year-end rush. Once panels became available the team moved swiftly; installation proceeded without delays, the inspection was promptly filed with the city, and just four days after the install he received city approval and SDG&E’s Permission to Operate. He rated the whole experience five stars and walked away most impressed by that rapid turnaround — the kind of speed that mattered when he was racing the tax-credit deadline.

Mark hired them as his third solar company to add a Tesla battery and ten panels to his home. He watched the crew complete the entire install in a single day, impressed by how organized they were and how quickly they responded to questions. After two prior experiences, he walked away noting that the speed and coordination set this job apart. He plans to call them back for future upgrades, with the one-day Tesla battery plus ten-panel turnaround the detail he'll remember.

Mark had already worked with two other solar firms before hiring this team, and he found them refreshingly organized and responsive. The crew arrived ready and finished a one-day installation that included a Tesla battery and ten solar panels, handling the setup and questions without delays. He ended up with the system installed on schedule and clear communication throughout the process. He plans to call them back for future upgrades, making the speedy one-day install the detail that stuck with him.

Jonathan chose One Planet Power to install solar on his home. Paul spent time learning his household energy use and sized the system to match those needs, which lowered the upfront cost and should reduce bills over the long run. The installation stayed transparent and professional throughout, and the project moved smoothly from initial consult to completion. He ended up with a correctly sized array and clear expectations about savings. The detail that stands out for prospective buyers: the team focused on right-sizing the system instead of pushing a bigger install, delivering immediate cost savings and better long-term value.

Danielle chose to install solar panels and a Tesla battery on her home and teamed up with James to run the project. He patiently walked her through the options, answered the many questions that come with a big investment, and recommended the setup that fit her needs. When her HOA proved difficult, he handled the approvals and steered the paperwork so the installation could move forward. The payoff was immediate: her first electric bill dropped about 60% — a change she called "Best investment EVER!" What lingered for her was the combination of James' clear, patient guidance through technical choices and HOA hurdles plus that dramatic month-one savings.

Edward FitzGibbon began researching solar and connected with Sam, who took the time to walk him through the options and educate him on the system. Sam worked tirelessly to earn the job, and the Aloha Solar installation itself went smoothly. After the install, Sam came back to fix a minor issue and fine-tune the system to extract more efficiency and savings. He walked away most impressed by that hands-on follow-up — a dialed-in system tuned to save money.

Pedro came away feeling like the whole solar process had been handled with unusual care, from the first quote through the final installation on his home. What set this experience apart was the level of transparency: Paul walked him through every option in plain language, took the time to answer every question without rushing, and made sure there were no hidden fees or last-minute surprises. By the end, he knew exactly what he was signing up for, which made the whole project feel straightforward instead of stressful.
