Installer profile
LA Solar Group
You can get a quote from LA Solar Group, but do not do it before reading its CSLB file, and most homeowners who read it will keep moving. The licensed entity is LA Solar Group Inc, doing business as A P Electrical, license 974115, current and active with C-10 Electrical, C-46 Solar, and C-39 Roofing classifications, issued June 20, 2012 and expiring June 30, 2028. Do not confuse it with LA Solar Energy, license 841332 in Sunland, a different and revoked company that sits next to it in search results.
The state record is the reason for the grade. The license detail page itself states PENDING DISCIPLINARY ACTION in the form of an accusation, shows a $50,000 disciplinary bond posted as a cash deposit effective July 8, 2024, and warns the license may be suspended at a future date for failure to comply with an unsatisfied final civil judgment. The disclosure file has three layers. Citation 2 2019 001537, completed April 2, 2021, listed nine violations including misrepresentation to obtain a contract. Case N 2021 000152 has the license currently under a disciplinary order dated January 29, 2024, covering four complaints, with violations including abandonment of a construction project and receiving more money than the work completed. Case N 2024 000113 is a pending accusation filed December 4, 2024 covering six complaints, amended as recently as April 24, 2026. CSLB notes a listed complaint is an allegation of a probable violation, and the pending accusation is not a final finding. The completed citation and the current disciplinary order are not allegations.
The consumer file runs the same direction. BBB rates the company A, not accredited, with 53 complaints in the last three years, 17 closed in the last twelve months, and a 3.52 out of 5 average across 50 customer reviews. Published complaints include a $71,500 mechanic's lien over a contract the homeowner calls forged and the company says was validly signed via DocuSign, a failed SMA inverter quoted at $4,950 to replace against a claimed 25-year inverter warranty, a roughly $13,958 production-shortfall claim headed to CSLB complaint and arbitration, an allegation that a used Enphase gateway was sold as new, and a $78,856 PPA payment dispute. A federal labor class action, Denson v. LA Solar Group, was filed August 28, 2023; the fetched docket runs only through September 2023 and shows no outcome.
The odd twist is that LA Solar Group publishes the most detailed warranty in this evidence set: 25-year equipment, performance, and roof coverage plus an optional Solar Insure SI-30 30-year warranty with a $0 deductible. Paper terms are only as good as the company honoring them, and the BBB file already contains warranty disputes. Two more things to ask about: the workers comp policy lists only clerical office employees as classification codes, so ask who physically installs, and the company claims a 2010 founding with tens of thousands of projects, none of it independently verified. Under our rubric, pending government disciplinary action caps any grade at D.
The evidence
CSLB issued license 974115 on June 20, 2012, fourteen years of licensure. The company says Ara Petrosyan founded it in 2010 with one van and one crew, while BBB dates incorporation to March 22, 2011 and the business start to September 11, 2014. Age is not the problem here; the record accumulated during those years is.

CSLB discloses a completed 2021 citation with nine violations including misrepresentation to obtain a contract, case N 2021 000152 currently under a disciplinary order dated January 29, 2024 covering four complaints including project abandonment and overcollection, and pending accusation N 2024 000113 filed December 4, 2024 covering six complaints, amended through April 24, 2026, alongside a $50,000 disciplinary bond and an unsatisfied civil judgment warning. BBB adds 53 complaints in three years, and a 2023 federal labor class action shows no fetched outcome.
The company claims tens of thousands of projects and a footprint across California, Nevada, Texas, and Hawaii, but no LA Solar Group or Haleakala Solar entry was found in the 2026 Solar Power World national, 2025 California, or 2026 installer tables. The volume claim is the company's alone.

License 974115 is current and active with C-10, C-46, and C-39 classifications, expiring June 30, 2028, and that active status is verified. The same record carries a PENDING DISCIPLINARY ACTION notice, a filed $50,000 disciplinary bond, and a warning that the license may be suspended at a future date for failure to comply with an unsatisfied final civil judgment, so recheck it before contracting.

The company's warranty page states 25-year coverage for equipment defects, 25-year performance from installation, free labor repair or replacement of affected components, a 25-year roof warranty covering leaks caused by the system or installation workmanship, and an optional Solar Insure SI-30 30-year warranty with $0 deductible. These are the most detailed published terms in this evidence set, yet BBB complaints already include disputes over honoring warranty claims, so confirm the obligor and terms in the signed contract.

How to read this
This D is a cap, not a coin flip. Our rubric treats pending government disciplinary action as enforcement, and this license carries a pending accusation on top of a current disciplinary order and a completed citation, so no amount of published warranty language can lift the grade. It is not an F because the license remains active and able to contract. If you engage anyway, pull the CSLB disclosure yourself the week you sign, since the pending accusation could resolve either way, and put every warranty promise into the contract with license 974115 named on it. 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.
