Alternative Energy Solutions

C
C grade. Alternative Energy Solutions has an active C-10 license and no located public enforcement action, but it is a new 2024 business with no independent volume evidence or quantified workmanship warranty.

You can get a quote from Alternative Energy Solutions, but the company has not yet built the public track record needed for a stronger grade. CSLB license 1123060 is current and active, shows C-10 electrical classification, a $25,000 contractor bond, and workers compensation on file. No disclosable action, citation, accusation, or civil judgment appeared on the reviewed state record. That is a clean starting point, not a long operating record.

The license issued in June 2024, and BBB reports the business started in October 2024. The founder's claim of more than 10 years in the trade may be true, but it is not the same thing as this company's history. The company speaks generally about comprehensive warranties without a labor term, and no independent project-volume figure was found. Price the bid, but make the warranty, crew responsibility, and comparable completed project references do real work before you choose it.

The evidence

LongevityVerified

CSLB issued license 1123060 on June 28, 2024, and BBB reports the business started October 21, 2024. The company says founder Jake Sessing has more than 10 years in the trade, which is a founder-experience claim rather than evidence of a decade of company operations.

Complaints and enforcementVerified

No disclosable-action, citation, accusation, or civil-judgment section appeared on the reviewed CSLB record, and the BBB complaints page published no count or complaint record. That is limited favorable public evidence, not a certified zero-complaint history, particularly for a new business.

How to read this

A C here means the available evidence is mixed because it is early, not because the public record shows a disclosed enforcement problem. The practical move is to reduce the unknowns. Ask for a sample workmanship warranty, the license and role of every contractor on the job, permits from similar projects, and references from completed systems that have been running long enough to reveal service quality. Our full rubric, including how our own installation business gets graded on the same scale, is on the methodology page. We are a solar installer and we partner with other solar companies. Grading is structurally separated from revenue; see disclosures.
