National Energy Installers - Newport Beach, California

Jennifer M.

As the office manager of our Newport Beach business (and the one who pays all the bills), I’ve been thrilled with the solar installation from National Energy Installers. We’ve had the system in place for almost a year now, and our energy bills have been nearly eliminated each month.

The team at NEI made the process so simple and stress-free. They handled everything professionally, and I was impressed with how clean everything looked after the installation. They even sent me a bunch of pictures of the install that show the quality of their their install. I would highly recommend National Energy Installers for any business looking to make the switch to solar and save money!

From start to finish, everything went smoothly. The installers were respectful of my time and property, and they took care of all the permits and paperwork. I was impressed with how well they explained the process, and the panels blend perfectly with the roof. It’s been two months, and the system is already saving me a noticeable amount each month. This is one of the best home investments I’ve made, especially with energy costs rising..

"I highly recommend Michael Murphy and his team for their outstanding work on our industrial building in Brea, California. They handled a challenging installation with professionalism, dedication, and excellent follow-through. Their commitment to quality truly stands out.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with National Energy Installers! I recently bought a brand new home and it came with 12 solar panels already installed. I loved the fact that the home already had solar, but I quickly realized that it wasn't enough to cover my electric bill. I reached out to NEI, and they came to the rescue!

They were able to install 32 more solar panels and made it look like it was part of my existing system. The installation was smooth and efficient, and I was so impressed with the professional service I received. Not only does my new system look fantastic, but it has now completely eliminated my electric bills.

I highly recommend NEI to anyone considering solar solutions. Thank you for the amazing work! I’ll be posting a few photos to show off the beautiful setup!

As a small business owner, I take great pride in my property and I am very selective with who I let work on my building. When I decided to install a solar system, I needed a solution that not only benefited my business, but also could provide power to the other tenants that I rent space too. I contacted several other companies who said it could not be done and just tried to sell me solar for my suite only. Then by chance, I was referred to RIcky at National Energy Installers from a good friend of my wife’s and honestly my experience with them was exceptional.

They designed a solar system that only had to connect to 1 of my 6 electric meters, but it not only allows the solar to be used by my suite, but it lets me sell power to the 5 other suites I rent out which is exactly what I wanted. Their team approached this unique situation with professionalism and had a deep understanding of how to make it work, which made the entire process stress-free.

Now, I’m not only covering my energy costs, but also generating additional income by selling solar power to my other tenants. This has added significant value to my property, and I am grateful to National Energy Installers for their hard work and dedication.

I wholeheartedly recommend these guys to anyone looking for solar solutions. Their expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction was truly commendable. Thank you for your outstanding service!

We received 4 quotes from various companies. It became increasingly obvious these guys were the best option. Everything was clear and consistent throughout the whole project. Plus the top notch work ethic and quality of work done by their install crew. We are excited to start producing power!!!

As a mom of three, I was worried about the mess, hassle and interruptions that comes with home upgrades, but National Energy was amazing from start to finish. They handled everything from the paperwork to installation like pros. The team was friendly and patient with ALL my questions, and they made sure everything they did was spotless after the install. Now we’ve got lower bills, and I feel good knowing we’re contributing to a greener future for my kids. I’d recommend them to any family looking for an affordable and hassle-free solar experience.

I highly wouldn't recommend National Energy Installers to install any solar panel system or electrical system. I called them out for not following NEC. Where you can clearly see three hits just on one area of the install. The installers tried very hard to try to get the system inspected via photos which they email and the city inspector and would chat via email or text to correct the hits. I had to call the city to prevent the system from going on the grid till they fixed the issues. San Diego County needs to go back to physical inspections and stop these "COVID Style" of inspections. Which is what an country inspector told me the reason why they did it this way and the Inspection was done in October 2023 post COVID. I feel that this has given installers free range to cut corners; and try to push out installs quickly, without the quality/safety that we pay for these huge investments.

1. Conduit is going under the gas line/meter.
2. Grounded the electrical panel to the gas line.
3. Using a different metal to ground an electric system that would cause galvanic corrosion. In this case... THE GAS LINE! Huge safety risks that they kept brushing off in my emails and calls.

Everything was corrected but that was without me pushing hard to intervene to get these things fixed.

Update

Chris D. who is the Chief Installation Officer had called me and was able to voice my problems that I had experienced during my install.

I understand that there was a big push to get applications in before NEM 3 start date, so I totally understand why solar installers had to hire contractors during the time. I appreciate the call and happy Myra was able to fix my solar array map. Now I'm able to see a satellite photo and the correct array map for my home thank you.

As far as contractors go. There should be more oversight on their work and quality of each install. Especially if it's the company's name that is in the lime light. There was still holes from when they had to remove and modify the equipment since it didn't follow code but I was able to patch it up.

Bumping this review up two more stars; since they had addressed my concerns, but I hope more QA Quality Assurance measures are taken in place to ensure customer satisfaction is met. Thank you again!
