Installer profile
Empower Home Services
Treat Empower Home Services as a high-friction quote, not a default choice. The important naming detail is that the active license belongs to Empower Solar Inc. doing business as Empower Home Services, not to the separate expired Empower Home Inc. record. License 1057693 is active and carries electrical, roofing, HVAC, and general-building classifications. That part is clear.
The enforcement record changes the recommendation. CSLB displays pending disciplinary action, a public complaint referred to legal action, and two citations, one of which is pending appeal. BBB reports 29 complaints in the last three years. Those complaint assertions are not automatic proof of each allegation, but the government enforcement status is not something to wave away. It caps this profile at D. The current terms also do not publish a dated workmanship warranty. If you still compare this bid, demand the exact contracting entity, scope, payment schedule, warranty term, and escalation contact in writing before a deposit.
The evidence
CSLB issued Empower Solar Inc. license 1057693 on September 3, 2019. The company markets solar expertise since 2017, while BBB reports the current corporation started and incorporated in 2019. The earlier statement is a brand or operational-history claim, not verified operating history for the current licensee.

CSLB displays pending disciplinary action, Complaint N A 2024 18925 referred to legal action on August 5, 2026, and two citations, including one pending appeal. BBB displays 29 complaints in the last three years and 10 closed in the last 12 months. BBB complaint narratives and responses are not adjudicated determinations, but the CSLB enforcement record is an adverse fact.
Empower Home Services and Empower Solar Inc. were absent from the three reviewed Solar Power World lists. The distinct EMPWR Solar entry on the 2026 installer list is a separate company and cannot be counted here. No independently reported job total or megawatt figure was found.
CSLB lists Empower Solar Inc. doing business as Empower Home Services as active through September 30, 2027. License 1057693 holds C-10 Electrical, C-39 Roofing, C-20 Warm-Air Heating Ventilating and Air-Conditioning, and B General Building classifications, with a contractor bond and workers compensation on file. Its active status does not erase the separate pending disciplinary action.

The current terms say Empower may provide workmanship warranties and may install products with manufacturer warranties, but they do not state a duration, scope, exclusions, or the party responsible for the labor promise. No dated workmanship term was confirmed.

How to read this
The D is not a verdict on every job or every complaint. It is a risk flag built around the fact that CSLB action is pending. A lower price does not cure that risk. If this company remains in your comparison, use a contract review checklist: correct legal entity, license number, project schedule, payment milestones, warranty language, permit responsibility, and a written path for fixing an inspection or production problem. 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.
