Customer Reviews
Wade Carpenter
Very happy to go with Altadena Energy for solar for our house. The team is great, they do really high quality work. They are always there when I need help with anything. Really great experience.
Jon Malice
Finding contractors who are reliable, communicate well, and provide a quality product at a fair price is always the goal, so I'm thrilled to have found this company. They underpromised and overdelivered, and I'm very happy with the system they installed, especially since they also handled the city permitting and paperwork on my behalf. Nicely done.

We are very pleased with Altadena Energy and Solar. They have been around for almost 20 years and they are very reliable. Hans, Joy, and their whole team did everything for us (i.e. permits, scheduling of project installation, city inspection, new meter installation, tax rebate preparation, etc.). The members of the crew that installed our panels were polite, clean, and organized. The office tried their best to accommodate our scheduling needs and they provided timely updates. Hans and Joy explained each step of the process and answered all of our questions. They didn't try to upsell us and they were honest and straightforward with the cost/expenses. We highly recommend them!
Joshua Schpok
We talked to about six solar installers before deciding on Altadena. From our first consultation, I was impressed they weren't just trying to make a sale, but were able to provide a fairly comprehensive technical analysis of our project, and recommend some alternative. Our work included upgrading our service panel and service drop point, and wiring conduit around to minimize aesthetic impact. I was impressed they painted conduit to match all the surfaces it ran along, including the roof.
We're glad we went with Altadena, even if some installers provided lower quotes. Compared to other proposals, the finished system works more efficiently and looks great!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Altadena Energy & Solar's solar system work during a grid outage?
The inverter shuts down for safety during a grid outage, so solar alone cannot power the home; battery storage can be added for backup.
What happens to an Altadena Energy & Solar lease if a homeowner sells?
For its in-house lease-to-own program, the company says it can work with the homeowner's escrow company to transfer the lease to the next homeowner, or the homeowner can buy it out.
