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!

Outstanding company. I looked for years to find a solar company that I trusted and felt right about. SUNKO solar checked all our boxes. Marco Iwabuchi the owner is great! Marco and his team went up and above on delivering a quality solar system for our home. Great communication, great price and quality work. Super team and Marco has a very awesome personality that made me feel good about doing solar. I will recommend my friends and family to SUNKO solar.

Michael Richards on Sunko Solar

Sunko and it’s owner Marco were just great. Explained everything that needed to be done clearly and effectively. Was very responsive to questions any time day or night. The job was done in a day and a half exactly as he projected. And he follows though with your electric company to make the entire process as seamless as possible. Plus, he’s a great guy to boot. Easy to communicate with and he understands everything about solar residential installation, from financing to installation to integration with power companies, cold. I highly recommend Sunko for solar installation.
