Karl Yousef, MD

Sunko Solar is a breath of fresh air. It is so hard to find trustworthy solar companies in Los Angeles, especially given how many there are. Marco was excellent to work with and is a man of his word. Even afterwards when we had complications with the city, Marco made sure to take the lead on the issue and help us make sure that our solar was connected. It’s incredibly rare to find such genuine business practice nowadays. I can’t say enough good things about Marco and Sunko Solar in Los Angeles County. I appreciate and respect how transparent and genuine Marco is. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for Solar!

Honest solar company! after shopping around with vultures for months this guy was the easiest and most transparent. Simple and efficient process and amazing price! He was not trying to sell you on a lease and extra panels. Highly Reccomend!

Marco installed my friend’s solar and he gave him and Sunko Solar an A+. When I called Marco for advice regarding a problem I was having with my own installer, he gave me detailed advice out of the goodness of his heart. I highly recommend Marco and Sunko Solar!
