I contracted Magic Sun Solar to install a PV solar system on my house in Nov 2014 (greater than 9years ago). (Magic sun provided a 10 year system warranty)
In the beginning of 2024 I noticed that one of the 14 panels they installed dropped it's power production by about 30%. I contacted Magic Sun and provided them the data that I collected. They came to my house and swapped the "bad" panel with a "good" one to see if the issue moved with the panel... which it did. They contacted the manufacturer, obtained a replacement panel and installed it. Less than a month from initial contact to having a replaced panel.
I would 100percent recommend Magic Sun Solar for your solar needs!!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - N P.Oakdale, CAAug 24, 2024
I didn't use these guys but we did go as far as quote, it was good fair price and rep was knowledgeable and helpful.
Based on that I'm giving them a 4 for responsiveness and price.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bryce J.CA, CA02Oct 11, 2023
Signed the contract 1 year ago. Had 60 panels installed. Still not approved by PG&E due to a bunch of clerical errors. Not sure how many systems they have installed but it has been my experience that this is their first time doing one with PG&E with how long it is taking. Now I'm paying for solar panels and for PG&E. One was supposed to correct the other. Guess now I wait to see if they can get all the paperwork figured out.

After a year or so of research, we went with Magic Sun Solar as they seemed to be the best. A score of 5 stars is hard to beat. Our system was installed and up working in one day. Neil Hurlock was great and walked us through everything . At the same time as we installed this system, we also installed an electric heat pump hot water heater so the drop in our SMUD wasn't as dramatic as other people's, but our PG&E gas bill dropped to offset it.

In reading another customer's comment, the word shady came up, so I felt compelled to also add a review.
Do not use this company. Sorry to say we had to pursue resolution through the California State License Board for the faulty wiring job they did. Unless you can be on your roof during install, and see what is done under your panels, be warned! Although we would have liked to have had our entire install removed, so we would never have to deal with them again, at least we were compensated for the wiring issues.
NOTE: They also have a practice of selling discontinued solar panels to customers, so if/when you need to add more, you may have to additional costs that you did not plan for.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Janice B.Granite Bay, CA015Dec 22, 2023
I highly recommend Magic Sun Solar, I would give them more than 5 stars if I could! I met with 3 companies about adding a solar system and decided to go with Magic Sun, and i'm so glad I did. Their price came in lower than the other two companies I met with, and Magic Sun is local (just 10 minutes from my home) which was nice too. I ended up getting more panels at a lower cost than what the other solar companies quoted me, and got some misinformation regarding adding a 2nd solar system from one of the other top solar companies i met with. I was really wanting to get the new solar installed before end of year to take advantage of federal tax credit, and Magic Sun got it done 2 weeks earlier than promised. Their install crew was fantastic and respectful of my property. Oscar has been great, I learned so much from him about solar, taking advantage of the right PG&E rate plan to maximize our savings, and everything else i needed to know about the new system. It's working great so far, it's only been a few weeks since the install but i can already see that my high PG&E electric bill is going to be a thing of the past!

Magic Sun replaced our electric panel and installed solar. We're pleased with the work but would not recommend them because they are misleading and shady.
When choosing a solar installer, we wanted one who could install it in 2022 so we could get the tax rebate in beginning of 2023 because we had a baby on the way and renovating our house. We told Magic sun that was priority #1. They were more expensive than others but we went with them because they assured us they would get it done but they didn't install until January. So no tax rebate until 2024 :(
Then, somehow my signature page on my contract with Magic Sun was taken out and put into a more expensive contract they sent to my lender. If I hadn't read through my lender's contract before esigning, I would have paid Magic Sun more than our contract. That's really shady
I hear good things about Connected Technology in Rocklin, I'd suggest them insteadHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Sep 23, 2019
Three years ago, we moved to another County in Northern California. We soon learned that our PG&E electric charges we extremely high (in fact, ridiculous) Last year I began exploring solar energy options. After doing some research, I interviewed 5 Solar Companies.
As you would expect, I looked at a variety of factors with respect to cost, warranties, energy production, installer experience, panel and microinverter manufacturers and installation details. I was also interested in what information would be available post installation via computer / smart phone with respect to energy production.
I ultimately decided to move forward with Magic Sun. I have had no regrets. These folks have been a pleasure to work .... both pre and post installation. Experts in their field, honest and efficient. They delivery on commitments.
After 11.3 months, I have already exceeded my energy production goal for the year (12 mo period), virtually eliminating any expense for electricity.
Based on my experience to date, I can't recommend this company highly enough.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jul 2, 2021
I cannot recommend this company enough. I worked with Neil and he was great the whole way through. Explained everything multiple times and was super super thorough. I was very indecisive in the beginning, but he was very patient and never tried to sell me on anything. I am sure he was working in my best interest which is hard to say these days.
If you are looking for solar panels, or even just wanted to learn if they would be good for you, don't hesitate with this company.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Lisa S.Granite Bay, CA081Aug 11, 2022
After all our research into solar companies and meeting with several of them, we chose Magic Sun. The installation went very smooth in July of 2021. This July we were going to experience our first true-up and I was nervous because we didn't limit our use of AC or other electricity. To my surprise, we actually received a credit on our true-up. Oscar is excellent at figuring out the amount of solar panels to get the best results. He also advised us to trim trees that shade panels.
