Installation records in New Jersey (313) and Massachusetts (36) also carry the name Complete Solar. Complete Solar isn't ranked in those states and the name may belong to a different company, so those systems aren't counted on this page.

Before You Sign With Complete Solar

  • California license: ask for the license number and look it up on the CSLB site; solar work needs a C-46, C-10 or B license.
  • Reviews and contact details: see Complete Solar on Google Maps, where recent reviews tell you more than any ranking.
  • Quotes: get at least three, and compare price per watt, equipment brands and the workmanship warranty — not just the monthly payment.

Compare Complete Solar with other installers
