How the top solar pros compare

The same ServiceAgent Score components that drive the ranking, scored side by side — so you can see at a glance where each provider is strongest.

The criteria we scored against

  1. 1. Trust (data & verification). Owner-verification, completeness of contact info, and review-volume credibility.
  2. 2. Recommendation (rating). The Google star rating, Bayesian-shrunk toward the category mean so a few 5-star reviews can't dominate.
  3. 3. Review depth. How many public reviews back the rating — more reviews, more reliable the signal.
  4. 4. Score confidence. How much data stands behind the composite score for this provider.

How we chose these

Same scoring engine as the main San Francisco solar ranking, with an additional filter step: we look for Commercial signals in each provider's business categories, service tags, and recent review text.

When the Commercial filter would surface fewer than five providers, we fall back to showing top-rated solar pros generally - they are far more likely to handle commercial work than an unrated provider would be.

How to choose a solar pro

The ranking does the research; these five checks help you turn the shortlist into the right hire.

  1. 1

    Start with the top of the ranking, not an ad

    The providers ranked highest in San Francisco earned it on review depth, rating, and data completeness — not on ad spend. Shortlist two or three from the top before you start calling.

  2. 2

    Get two or three quotes in writing

    Pricing for solar work varies by scope and local market. Written quotes from a few shortlisted pros let you compare apples to apples and spot an outlier before you commit.

  3. 3

    Read the most recent reviews, not just the average

    A strong average can hide a recent slide in quality. Sort reviews by newest and look for how the business handles problems — a thoughtful reply to a bad review often tells you more than the star count.

  4. 4

    Confirm licensing, insurance, and scope before work starts

    Ask for the license number and proof of insurance, and get the full scope of work plus any parts/labor warranty in writing before any solar job begins. Verify the license on your state board if the work is significant.

  5. 5

    Match the provider to your actual job

    A high-volume operator is great for a routine job; a smaller specialist may be a better fit for an unusual one. Use the scorecard above to pick for your situation, not just the overall rank.

When demand peaks in San Francisco for solar

12-month demand index (100 = annual average). Peaks in May, troughs in December. Book in the trough months to lock lower rates.

avg = 100May: 165JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec

Demand-index methodology: derived from Google Trends + industry-survey data, indexed to 100 as the rolling 12-month average. Local market may vary 10-25%.

Pricing: what solar costs

Quick budget estimates by job type. Pricing here reflects the local-market premium for this city. Use these as a planning sanity-check, not as a firm quote.

System install (per kW, gross)$30,000$45,000
Federal ITC offset (30%)$-1,687$-1,125
Battery storage (per 10 kWh)$90,000$130,000

Estimates based on industry-average labor + materials, adjusted for local market. Get at least two written quotes from providers above before signing.

What to know about hiring Solar

A few things are worth knowing before you hire, whatever the specific job.

What drives the price

Scope of work, materials, access, and whether it's a routine job or an emergency with after-hours rates.

What to check

Current license and insurance for the trade, a written quote and scope, and any workmanship warranty.

When to call

Get two or three quotes for planned work; for anything that's a safety or water-damage risk, sooner is cheaper.
