Solar by Quality Home Services is a gamble with poor odds. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found clear patterns of shoddy installations, unresolved technical issues, and aggressive sales tactics. One customer reported a backhoe tearing up their lawn when a trencher would have worked, leaving cable boxes 12 inches above ground, and then dealing with monthly system failures that required constant breaker-flipping. Another was sold 26 panels for a home that needed far fewer, a clear case of commission-driven overselling. The workmanship score sits at a weak 3.5 out of 10, with negative mentions outpacing positive ones. Eight reviews flag post-sale support problems, and eight more call out questionable sales conduct. One homeowner had to throw up their hands after repeated service calls failed to fix the same recurring issue, wondering if the company even knew how to resolve problems once they'd been paid. (Getting stuck playing breaker-roulette every month is not the passive income solar promises.) The few positive reviews mention SunPower panels and responsive staff, but those bright spots are drowned out by installation damage, hidden costs, and systems that never work right.
If you're considering this company, know that poor workmanship and unresolved service issues appear in most reviews. Unless you enjoy monthly service calls and lawn repair bills, explore other installers with stronger track records.
John P. hired the company to run underground wiring for solar on his property and ended up with a yard that looked like a construction site — the crew brought a backhoe when a trencher would have cut far less damage. He discovered the cable pull box sitting about 12 inches above ground when it should have been flush, and the crew finished the work, took the payment, and walked away. Since then he hasn’t had a single continuous month without something failing: he keeps having to flip circuit breakers on and off, and when that doesn’t restart the system he has to call the company back and wait for them to return on roughly a 24‑hour service cycle. He used the same outfit for two houses and now regrets the decision. At this point he’s leaning toward having them remove the installation and hiring a contractor who actually understands proper installation and customer service.
Sernan P. tried to cancel after realizing the salesperson had pitched a 26-panel system — far more panels than other installers told him his house needed. He called several competing companies, and each concluded 26 panels was excessive, so he suspected the rep had inflated the design to chase a larger commission. He also learned that a promised referral bonus didn’t hold up: a friend who was supposed to receive the credit was called and told he wouldn’t qualify. Frustrated by the oversized quote and the failed referral promise, he attempted to back out of the deal and left unsettled about the company’s transparency and motives.
Patrice H. has been living with a recurring solar-system fault on her home and growing increasingly frustrated. She had technicians out two months ago and again three weeks ago for the exact same problem, yet the underlying issue remains unresolved. She ended up doing a monthly ritual of turning breakers off and on to keep the system running, which she describes as a waste of time. After multiple visits and having already paid for the equipment and service, she concluded the company either doesn’t know how to fix the problem or is unwilling to follow through. She also confirmed she contacted the correct provider and left a message on the solar business line. What sticks is the repeated service calls without a permanent repair and the burden of the ongoing breaker routine.

Chad N. partnered with SunPower to add solar to his home and worked closely with Heather Ward throughout the process. Heather stayed consistently responsive and provided top‑notch service, even though the installation experienced a delay that frustrated him — a delay he chalked up to high industry demand. The payoff arrived fast: his PG&E statement swung from a $430 charge one month to a $40 credit the next. He gave Heather an A+ for her assistance and points to that dramatic bill reversal as the clearest proof the system delivers.
James B. decided to install solar panels on his home with Quality Home Services and found it to be the smartest decision for his household. He discovered that the company’s promises — from expected performance to the way the project was handled — played out exactly as described, and that reliability became the standout feature of the whole process. Because the outcomes matched expectations, he recommends Quality Home Services to anyone considering residential solar, highlighting their accuracy and follow-through as the reason to choose them.
Referred to the Fresno branch through Home Depot, M H. went ahead with a whole-house filtration install despite initial doubts. Over the next two years they watched replacement-part prices creep up and found annual-service appointments handled poorly — often receiving wildly inaccurate estimates for parts and labor. Service techs struggled to communicate, which created repeated billing mix-ups, and attempts to get help ended badly: calls were cut off multiple times and a final call finished with the rep hanging up on them. On top of the customer-service headaches, they felt the system itself underperformed compared with other, cheaper options they'd seen. What stuck with them was the package of problems — rising maintenance costs, unreliable scheduling, confusing bills, and unresponsive support — rather than any single isolated issue.
Heather W. hired Quality Home Services to add extra panels to an existing rooftop solar array on her house. She found the installation crew to be the highlight — professional, efficient, and careful — while the operations team stayed easy to reach the whole way through. The process moved simply from first contact to final hookup, and every staff member she dealt with came across as knowledgeable. The company stood by their workmanship, and she expects the upgrade will make the home easier to sell. What stuck with her most was a tidy, tested expansion backed by reliable support — a concrete selling-point for the future buyer.
Marilee turned to Sun Power by QHS for a solar installation and found their strong work ethic and careful attention to detail visible at every stage. Heather Ward guided her through the process step by step, kept communication clear, and followed up after the installation to confirm everything was working. That steady, post-installation support is the specific detail that made the experience stand out and left her confident in the choice.

Roberta N. met with Heather Ward for a solar consultation and walked away convinced. She found Heather’s presentation thorough and clear, answering every question in a calm, patient way that made the decision feel manageable. She highlighted SunPower panels as top‑quality equipment and trusted that Quality Home Services’ servicing and guarantees would back the installation long term. The detail that stood out was Heather’s ability to put people at ease—technical options plus strong warranties made the choice feel solid and uncomplicated.

Mary M. called to get the RainSoft water softener—an older unit that came with her house and hadn’t run for years—repaired. She was told by the phone rep, after they looked up her address and noted the company hadn’t serviced the unit in six years, that a technician could come out and get it running for $119; they assured her they would bring the necessary parts, test the water, and that the job would likely take about an hour with any parts costing only a few dollars. When the tech showed up he had no parts, said he couldn’t fix the unit, warned that unused resin in the tank might damage the home’s plumbing, and then pushed an $1,800 upgrade or a $3,500 full replacement. He presented a $119 bill but offered to waive it only if they agreed to the upgrade. She felt misled—what had been represented as a straightforward $119 repair visit became a paid diagnostic with a high-pressure upsell. The detail that sticks: the company promised parts and a repair price up front, but the technician arrived empty-handed and the $119 turned into a fee used to push an $1,800 upgrade or $3,500 replacement.
