BUYER BEWARE! Semper Solaris is the worst company I have ever worked with in my life! BUYER BEWARE! In April 22nd of 2023 we signed the papers to purchase solar panels from them and have them installed, and put the deposit down. They said that it would be within about 6 weeks and that the installation would take a couple days. They also promised an HVAC inspection and maintenance that never happened. We heard nothing from them until July of 2023 when they called to set up an installation date. The dates they offered were near a pre-scheduled trip of ours, but they assured us that it would only take 2 days, we wouldn’t have to be home, and that they would start early and end late to make sure that it was finished within the two days. July 25th they showed up late, we had to call to even locate the team and they didn’t start until after 10am. Their electrician hit our mailbox with his truck and they still haven’t paid us for that. They left early because it was too hot for them to work. That was when we started losing power on and off to half of our house, during a heat wave in southern California that kept knocking out our air conditioning. When we checked the electrical panel we discovered that one of the metal teeth of the bus bar was damaged when they switched out the main breaker. Instead of fixing it or replacing it, they improvised a brace using small pieces of wood, that would surely have caught fire if we had left it like that. Because of all the problems surrounding this and working with them, my husband had to cancel his trip last minute. For three days we went without air conditioning or power until they replaced the bus par after we called them repetitively to complain and showed them the pictures of their shoddy work. The pictures actually even came from their own electrician who had done the shoddy work! We had to go up on the roof to clean out our gutters and we discovered that they’d left trash, heavy trash, all over the roof. If it had blown off the roof it would have cracked a windshield or caused a head injury. After that we heard NOTHING. We called and called trying to get them to set up the inspection with building and safety but they literally ghosted us. It wasn’t until September 11 that we were got the first inspection, which they failed. Their installation didn’t match their schematics that they submitted and they needed to move a panel because they hadn’t left room for an emergency exit. They didn’t come back until December 7th to do the work, but all they did was move the panel. So they failed the next inspection on January 31st too because they still weren’t consistent with their own designs that they’d submitted to building and safety! So the THIRD inspection, on February of 2024 we finally passed. The solar panels generated for about 2 weeks, then completely stopped. As of today March 6th, we still have not been generating for the last 2 weeks because the system says that all of our microinverters are not responding. When I call their customer service they say they’ll get back me in 10-14 business days, but I know from working with them that you can always expect to double any amount of time that they give you. Also when I try to explain the problem, it is quite apparent that the customer service representative doesn’t know a microinverter from a microwave. It has been almost a YEAR now and all I have are $63,000 roof ornaments. During this whole process all we have gotten from Semper Solaris is excuses, finger pointing, and outright neglect. We have now worked with 2 project managers and an customer service lead. They assure us that the 1st project manager no longer works there, but no one is willing to take responsibility for the problems, and I personally don’t care who created the problems because no one is bothering to solve them. Every time we call we are told “There is a higher than normal wait time,” but if this has been going on for a year, then it is the normal wait time and they just don’t care about their customers. Of course, there is no direct line to anyone, and no ability to directly call anyone, so we are stuck talking to customer service and leaving messages that go unreturned. Don’t go with this company if you want anything to get done or if you value your time or mental health!

Poor performance and deceiving company Every experience with this company was awful. I initially install with them, now wanted to upgrade, and I never can get same answer. I am so sorry I install system through them. They are unprofessional, unreliable, and all negative reviews about them are true. Go with someone else, or you will e in hell experiencing worst of all of them with impossible performance and reliability. Oh and by the way they false advertise they are upgrading to IQ8 micro inverters, I hope someone will sue them for false advertisement.

We are incredibly happy with the… We are incredibly happy with the results and have immediately witnessed the cost savings. We can’t tell you how happy we have been with this entire process. Many many thanks to Roland Obana who’s our sales representative. He went above n beyond n gave us everything we need to know about our Solar System. Outstanding presentation. Also to Mark the lead technician and his crew who installed the System. They both courteous n know exactly what they’re doing. Again, I can’t thank you enough on everything.

Don't trust their monitoring company need to add to the long list of bad reviews. Purchased system about 5 years ago from Semper Solaris. Worked fine till about 2months ago we received an mail from solar edge to inform us that the inverter is not working and we need to confirm address so they can send us item, as soon as I receive item to let them know so they can schedule installation. So I did! SUNNOVA scheduled my appointment for 11/21 at 1:32 pm 4 days ago. Today here I am, took day off from everything waiting for them, when at 10am I received a new email saying that my appointment is scheduled for 11/27 @ 9:43am. I called everyone and sent email to solar edge, they do not know what is going on and can't promise someone will come today.. I calked Semper Solaris, who had the guts to tell me that I SHOULD CK SYSTEM WEEKLY!!!! really? You pay for service but you need to do the work? 1 MONTH TO SEE THAT INVERTER IS NOT WORKING???? REALLY?? Really upsetting, but I see a lot of people here have similar issues.. Is SEMPER SOLARIS a SCAM?????? If they would be a reputable company they won't rely on scam monitoring company....
