AWS Solar Reviews (2026): 23 Recent Google Reviews Analyzed
Considering AWS Solar, or already holding a quote from them? We read their 23 most recent Google reviews, and the honest headline is a strong one: zero one- or two-star reviews and a 4.91 average, with customers repeatedly praising the installation quality and the team. The one real caveat isn't a complaint pattern — it's volume: this is a small review base, and it has been quiet lately.

Who AWS Solar suits: homeowners comfortable choosing a small, highly-rated installer with fewer reviews — who will ask for recent local references given the modest, and recently quieter, review count.

“AWS Solar made the whole process simple and stress-free, and now the California sun is finally paying rent.” — a 5-star Google reviewer
The one critical review
There were no one- or two-star reviews in the sample. For completeness, the single three-star review is summarized below — hand-read, not independently verified, and not representative of most AWS Solar customers.
The critical review
- Cited poor communication “except when demanding payment,” and said a permit mix-up left a three-week gap between installation and inspection
Worth noting
- Zero one- or two-star reviews across the whole 12-month sample
- The record is genuinely strong — the main limitation is sample size, not complaints
“Really poor communication except when demanding payment… they messed up the permit but didn't tell me, so three weeks went by between installation and inspection.” — the one 3-star Google reviewer
Review volume (last 12 months)
A clean record, but the review flow has slowed — most reviews are from 2025.
| Quarter | Reviews | Avg rating | 1–2★ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q3 2025 | 10 | 4.80 | 0 |
| Q4 2025 | 9 | 5.00 | 0 |
| Q1 2026 | 1 | 5.00 | 0 |
| Q2 2026 | 2 | 5.00 | 0 |
| Q3 2026 (to date) | 1 | 5.00 | 0 |

What to clarify before signing with AWS Solar
Given a small, recently quiet review base, these are the sensible checks.
- Ask for two or three recent local references you can actually call
- How they'll keep you updated, and who your point of contact is (the one flag was communication)
- Permit status and expected timing between installation and inspection
- Exact equipment models, warranties, and price per watt
In our full 433-review analysis of seven LA installers, AWS Solar and Cali Energy posted nearly identical records — both had zero one- or two-star reviews on a small sample. Cali Energy edged ahead only on the smoothing-adjusted rate (a slightly larger sample) and on offering fully in-house solar, roofing, electrical and battery work. On satisfaction alone, the two are effectively tied. This dataset does not establish a meaningful quality difference between them.
- A single 12-month snapshot of AWS Solar's Google profile, and a small one — other platforms (Yelp, BBB, ConsumerAffairs) may differ.
- Most reviews are from 2025; recent volume is low, so the picture may be less current than for higher-volume companies.
- Complaint counts are hand-coded; positive themes are keyword-identified and approximate. Both reflect what reviewers reported or alleged and were not independently verified.
- We report aggregated figures and short excerpts and link the source; we do not republish full reviews or reviewer names.
- Cali Energy compiled this analysis and competes with AWS Solar.
