What NRG's negative reviews mention: scheduling and communication after signing
NRG's reviews skew strongly positive (87% five-star). The themes below come only from the 10 one- and two-star reviews in the sample — hand-coded (categories overlap), not independently verified, and may not represent the experience of most NRG customers.
Most common complaints
- 6 of 10 — schedule delays or a stalled project
- 5 of 10 — communication dropping off after contract signing
- 3 of 10 — unexpected post-signing costs
- 2 of 10 — delays that put a federal tax credit at risk or lost it
Worth noting
- The sales stage is almost always praised; problems appear later, in scheduling and installation
- Several unhappy customers updated their review after NRG stepped in, resolved the issue and compensated them
“Once we got to scheduling… I have been in scheduling for months with very little response.” — a 1-star Google reviewer
Quarterly trend
NRG's sentiment dipped sharply in Q4 2025 — the federal tax-credit deadline rush — then recovered.

What to clarify before signing with NRG Clean Power
The common concerns above, turned into questions — useful with any installer, not just NRG.
- A written project timeline from contract to PTO, with milestones
- Your single point of contact after signing, and how to reach them
- The escalation procedure if the schedule slips
- Who covers any costs tied to a rebate or tax-credit deadline
- Any post-signing charges not included in the base price
In our full 433-review analysis of seven LA installers, NRG had one of the largest review samples but a higher complaint rate (11%) than the leading companies. Cali Energy had a smaller sample and no one- or two-star reviews during the same period. This dataset does not establish whether either company's staffing model caused the difference.
- A single 12-month snapshot of NRG's Google profile — not its all-time record, and other platforms (Yelp, BBB, ConsumerAffairs) may differ.
- The source profile includes customer experiences from multiple service areas; results should not be read as exclusively Los Angeles-specific.
- 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 NRG Clean Power.
