Installer profile
Got Watts
Got Watts is worth a quote, especially if you want one contractor that can address solar, electrical, and HVAC work. The exact legal entity is Got Watts Electric Inc, doing business as Got Watts Electric, Solar & HVAC, on active license 985920. CSLB lists B General Building, C-10 Electrical, C-20 HVAC, and C-46 Solar classifications. The company says Jeremy Carlock started Got Watts in 2010, and its license record begins in 2013. It also says every team member works directly for the company and that it does not hire subcontractors. That is a useful operational claim, though it should still be written into the job paperwork.
Its warranty material is stronger than what most profiles can verify. Got Watts publishes Solar Insure SI-30 coverage for panels, inverters, optimizers, racking, labor to replace defective solar components, and limited roof-penetration resealing or reflashing. Read the stated coverage terms, because a named warranty is not the same as a blank check. No Got Watts entry was found in the requested Solar Power World contractor lists, so public volume remains unverified. That gap keeps this out of the top tier, not off your shortlist.
The evidence
CSLB issued license 985920 on August 8, 2013. The company says Jeremy Carlock started Got Watts in 2010, while BBB dates the legal business start to 2013. The earlier company-start claim and later state record should not be treated as the same date.

CSLB did not display a complaint-disclosure link for license 985920 when the record was read. Because CSLB disclosure is limited, that is a report of no disclosed matter, not a claim that no customer complaint exists. BBB lists an A+ rating but its reviewed complaints page has neither a count nor a stated pattern.

The reviewed Solar Power World tables, including the 2026 national contractor list, the 2025 California contractor list, and the 2026 installer list, contained no Got Watts entry. This evidence set offers no published megawatt total or project count that independently verifies installation scale.
CSLB lists Got Watts Electric Inc, doing business as Got Watts Electric, Solar & HVAC, as a current and active corporation with B, C-10, C-20, and C-46 classifications under license 985920, expiring July 31, 2027. The record also lists a $25,000 contractor bond and workers compensation coverage through March 1, 2027.

Got Watts says it offers an up to 25-year work guarantee. Its Solar Insure SI-30 page describes 30-year coverage for listed solar equipment, labor to replace defective solar components, and roof-penetration resealing or reflashing within 3 inches of the array, subject to the published coverage terms. Verify the contract elects that coverage.

How to read this
This grade rewards a license record and a warranty description that can be checked, not a brand promise. Ask Got Watts to attach the applicable SI-30 terms to the proposal, identify who will perform the work, and state what happens if a roof or production issue appears after closeout. The missing public volume figure means you should also ask for recent comparable jobs and speak with their owners if possible. 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.
