You know that rare contractor you find that does great work and you're not dealing with headaches along the way or afterward? Or if there's a problem they come right out and fix it? And they have the same great small crew so you know who you're getting? And they don't try to oversell you? And they are very reliable? Well that's Steiner Solar!
We've used Steve and his crew for probably 30 years. They've replaced and repaired systems on our pool over that time as we like the pool quite warm and to extend the pool season and solar heat the spa on the cooler days.
I can only count on part of one hand, the contractors we've dealt with like Steve @ Steiner. He's kept the same employees which tells you a lot.
We don't even bother getting other bids. We'll only use Steve. Steiners prices are reasonable. Once they start the job they are efficient getting it done they don't leave you hanging. But be sure and call well ahead as they're so good that they're booked out. I would guess that they have many many repeat customers. Steve is a heck of a nice guy too which is a plus.
Give them a call you'll be so happy you did !Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jim S.Sacramento, CA027Jul 17, 2023
Everything went as expected, and Steve is very responsive and responsible. I had both EV and pool solar installed 3 years ago. I've had two problems totally not Steiner's fault and Steve took care of everything without a hiccup.
He is totally a small local business and can charge less as he runs the show. No pressure, no salesperson getting a commission. I would recommend to my friends that they be sure to get a bid from Steiner's for their solar needs.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - James M.San Ramon, CA0148Jul 7, 2023
Steiners was able to fit us in early, we had an appointment weeks out. Steve came out and he was super polite and professional, an absolute expert, and went above and beyond.
We have a connection blow loose on our roof. He fixed that, showed me photos of before and after, and checked every other connection after explaining what was done incorrectly in the past.
He also spent way more time than I would have ever expected to explain things to me about my solar controller and pool pump system that no one else has. We've been in this home a couple years and been through a few pool and solar folks, and I've asked them questions, but never got simple clear answers like I did from Steve, and he volunteered it.
He also identified some improvements we could make, but was not pushy at all. He just said he'd write up an estimate from the office and send it in case we ever want to pursue it and only spent time on site to explain what it would be for and why it would be a good idea.
Steiners is the only company I want to use now. Steve really seems like a super knowledgeable and friendly guy. Service was amazing, even after climbing all over the roof in a heat wave.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Barbara H.Roseville, CA011Jul 13, 2023Updated review
After my first review I was contacted by the manager . He apologized for the work not being done while the crew was here. He immediately sent them out and they fixed my leaky pipe right away. I would give them 5 stars except for the length of time from my contacting them until I was contacted back.
I will definitely use this company again. Very happy with the work that was completed. The manager was extremely nice and concerned about getting the job done.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jun 16, 2023Previous reviewI had Steiner's solar service out 5/25 because of 2 leaks, one from the solar panel on the roof, the other from the pipe connecting to the pump system.
The service man looked at the pipe leaking and said "yeah there's a leak"
the other one went on the roof and fixed the leak caused by those rascal squirrels. They left, never addressed the pipe issue or give me an estimate for fixing it. I am still carrying 2 gallons of water back to my pool/day. I received a bill for $120.00
I sent an email to the company regarding this , never heard back!
This company was referred by my pool service. I will definitely tell them not to recommend them. - Mar 6, 2020Updated review
Inverter was showing an error that called for a replacement. SolarEdge provided a free inverter under warranty. It took Solaredge about 1 week to get a new inverterer delivered to Steiner.
Once Steiner Solar received the new replacement inverter, they came out the very next day and swap it for me and got my whole system back up and running.
Total cost = $0 (Free replacement and install)
Overall, still a pretty happy customer :)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Oct 22, 2017Previous reviewSteiner's Solar installed a 6.0 KW system on our home back in Sept 2017. So far, the system is working great and no problems at all.
Steve's crew of workers did a fantastic job. I'm am more than thrill with their craftsmanship. The way Mike cut the wall to install the box switch and inverter were excellent. Nice clean cuts and edges. The wiring was great also. They even painted the metal pipes to match the color of my house so it blends in.
No problems from PG&E or West Sacramento city's inspector. Passed with flying colors.
I would definitely use Steiner's solar again for my future solar needs and would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Solaredge SE7600H HD Wave inverter (This thing is small and looks great compared to other inverters on the market) - Scott S.CA, CA01Aug 25, 2023
I just needed to take some time to write a quick review.... we had Steiner solar install our pool heating system a few years ago, and everything has been fantastic from day one! This review, though, is related to their service. We have many squirrels around our house and unfortunately they have caused damage to our roof and to our solar system a few times. And on the occasions where we've needed a service call, everybody at Steiner has been fantastic to work with, quick in response, and reasonable in their repairs! Sometimes it is hard to find a company that not only sells/installs good products, but also provides excellent customer service after the the fact... and we continue to be impressed with Steiner!!

Just finished installing a PV solar system with Steiner Solar. Overall I am very happy with the communication from Steve, craftsmanship from Mike and Drew, and now being able to generate our own electricity. I appreciate Steve getting inspection and PGE paperwork done so quickly after install so we could get our permission to operate notification ASAP. As with all things Construction, be sure to be patient. If you're debating between a big box installer or Steiner, I highly recommend Steiner Solar.

We hired Steiner's to installed both solar for our house as well for our pool. We could not be more pleased with how the whole process went. Steve was the most thorough when coming out to house. He inspected roof and shade to give us the most accurate proposal. He is not a pushy sales person, which is very nice to deal with. His small but seasoned crew was reliable and went over and above when doing the project. Very happy with how everything came out and is working.

Steiner was recommended by my pool repair person, John Craft. Called once in November 2021 and Steve was going to come look at my solar, I actually spoke with a lady and she said he was going to call me. Never heard from him. Called Steiner on March 4, 2022 and spoke with Steve, he promised to come look at my solar and he said he would not flake this time. Never heard from him. I guess they are too busy. Oh well.
Revised Review: Steve came out to my house today and he did a great job explaining what I needed to do to my solar. He'll get back to me with some quotes, thanks Steve.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I've got to add my opinion here to about Steiner Solar. Things I loved...
* Small family business
* No pressure to buy
* We wanted the cash option.
* We wanted a different inverter. They got it for us (SolarEdge Wave HD
with EV charger + Monitoring System)
* Process was smooth
* Install was very fast, they were clean and had it running without issues.
* Steve got all the paperwork done (permit, PG&E) done quick.
* Nicely painted all the pipes in the garage and on the side of the house.
The SolarEdge inverter Wave HD is beautiful looking compared to other units on the market and it's super small.
That's it. That's all I wanted and they exceeded my expectations.
I do highly recommend giving them a chance.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
