Featured Reviews for Solar Panel Installation Companies in Whittier

Solar Optimum
Solar Panel Installation Companies in Whittier
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 24, 2017
“Work was neat and professional. Top notch panels, and equipment. Job took a while, but this was not Solar Opitum's fault. Lots of rain delays, waiting on permits, inspections, and waiting on the utility company. Company was recommended to me by the Electrical Section of Building and Safety where I work. Appears to have been a good choice.”
Forme Solar
Solar Panel Installation Companies in Whittier
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 28, 2020
“After my neighbor installed his solar system and starting raving about it, I thought that I would look into it. After a bit of research, consultations after consultations, and a few quotes I ended up going with Forme Solar Electric. They offered a great price, better than my neighbors! Including the EV car charger for my tesla 3. Once we decided to go with Forme, the process went fairly quickly. I will say it was a bit of a longer process than I thought. There were a few complications that we had to overcome. Dealing with the HOA really extended out the timeframe. My neighbor finished his solar installation in 4 months after he got permission from the HOA, mine only took 4 weeks. It feels nice that I was able to reap the benefits of solar much faster. I'm thrilled with how my system is performing and love checking out the production numbers daily. Was able to save me 3 months on the installation and was cheaper?! Thanks Forme!”
