Palomar Solar and Roofing review

Positive reviews:

“What a wonderful surprise–a business with integrity! I had a leak under my rooftop solar panels, and I assumed that it was due to the old installation of the panel footings on my aged Mexican style clay tile roof. The original estimate to remove the solar panels and repair the entire section of roof was $31,000. But when Adam Risso arrived for a preliminary site visit, he noticed the leak was more likely due to a vulnerable roof transition area and not the panels. He recommended that I contact another roofer, who was able to fix the leak for $1500! When I marveled at his integrity, Adam said that his mother always told him to do the right thing, no matter what.” – Patrick D. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ January 29, 2026

“Palomar Solar and Roofing completed an Enphase IQ Battery 10C installation, permitting and PTO from SDGE, in under four weeks after signing the contract in October 2025. This incredibly fast turnaround allowed me to claim both the 30% federal tax credit before it expires and the SD Community Solar Battery Savings Program rebate for $2,375. The battery has been seamlessly integrated with my existing PV system and has operated flawlessly, keeping me virtually grid-independent. Everyone on the Palomar team was was extremely responsive and attentive throughout the process. I chose Palomar because I believe they are prepared to navigate the future solar market shock coming in 2026 and will be able to maintain and support my system in the future. I highly recommend Palomar for solar projects, especially If you need to transition from another contractor that can no longer support you.” – Jill G. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ November 11, 2025

Negative reviews:

“After waiting for over five month for Palomar to respond to numerous calls and emails to the owner and his staff I posted the one star review, it was not something I wanted to do. But it was pretty obvious that no one was going to answer any of our communications. After posting my review I received a call from the owner to discuss my review, at the time I had thought that I was just speaking to him, but shortly into the conversation it was obvious he had a whole team in the room. The owen and his partner proceed to berate me even as Courtney apologized and admitted my review was accurate to her boss. Nothing I posted is incorrect or misleading, unlike their response. Unfortunately, yelp places limits on the length of the reviews posted, so I had to remove any in depth explanation of issues we’ve had with this Poorly Managed Company. In there response to my review they have moved from less than honest to outright liars! Buyer beware!” – M S. ⭐☆☆☆☆ September 20, 2023

“My initial phone conversation with Palomar Solar was very promising. I already had solar installed and wanted a new roof done by a company that could handle the solar panels appropriately. The installation requirements were discussed, the estimator came to inspect the roof and I understood they would email Palomar’s quote. Two weeks later I received nothing so I called to ask about it and was assured they would call by 5 pm that afternoon. After multiple subsequent calls and multiple assurances that they would call back, I am yet to receive a quote. Its time to move on. A simple return of a phone call to say NO or offer a quote would make all the difference, but their lack of response speaks volumes to their lack of professionalism.” – Richard B. ⭐☆☆☆☆ December 30, 2023

“One of the easiest home improvement projects we’ve ever done. Palomar was on top of things from the start and kept us informed at every point in the application process. Once we were approved by the city, Palomar had us scheduled. The installation took about a day and was very professional. When they left, the area was clean. Already the panels are producing and we can tell they will meet our energy needs. Great company. Wish I could give them more stars.” – Susan P. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ June 2019

“I interviewed several , local only companies, based on thorough research and chose Palomar Solar. They were professional, on time , on budget, even though they needed to do more work on my roof than anticipated. The company does not require any payment except $1,000.00 deposit unit the panels are installed , functioning and inspected.They were on one the few companies that offered individual inverters on every high quality panel, and 24/7 central computer monitoring. At some point they sent me an email alerting me that my system wasn’t generating enough electricity, so I had to adjust the breaker .We installed 50 panels so it was a huge investment . Fortunately, we chose the right people. I get thrilled watching my meter spinning backwards!” – Marina P. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ June 2016

“Definitely the right solar provider. I had a feeling from the onset that this company was the way to go and working with Bryce sealed the deal. He was very patient and informative and even reviewed other estimates from other providers. He answered my questions and then some. The recommendation to re do the roof at the onset was not just a sales tactic and I’m glad we listened. Bryce and team were exceptional to work with and I highly recommend him and Palomar Solar.” – Ryan Ballantyne ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ June 2025

“We had a great experience with this company! We had contemplated getting solar for a few years and never found a company we really trusted. We saw one of their trucks driving through Temecula and decided to give them a call – best decision! They gave us a very fair quote compared to the five others we received, and helped us repair our 30 year old roof before solar installation. They are not pushy or call you 50x a week. They are honest, fair and very quick, actually! Adam (cofounder) was always available for any questions we had and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Jesus and Noel from the roofing team were so kind and respectful and did amazing work. 10/10 recommend!” – Annalisa Schnitzler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ November 2025
