Installer profile

New Leaf Electric Inc.

C grade. New Leaf has a current, directly matched C-10 license and no BBB complaint records published, but its public workmanship commitment gives no term beyond the state minimum and independent installation volume was not found.

New Leaf Electric Inc. is a San Diego electrical contractor with an active California C-10 license issued in 2018. Its own site publishes the same license number, and the CSLB record shows current workers compensation and a contractor bond. BBB gives the business an A+ rating and its complaints page publishes no complaint records, although that is not a certified zero. The weak point is the warranty language. New Leaf says its work is warranted for at least the state minimum requirements, without a stated number of years. That leaves too much out of the proposal stage to call this a stronger grade.

The evidence

LongevityVerified

CSLB issued license 1034853 on January 12, 2018. The company does not publish a founding year, though its site says it has roots in solar PV for nearly a decade and LinkedIn lists 2015. The verified operating marker here is the 2018 license date.

Complaints and enforcementVerified

BBB lists an A+ rating and its complaint page publishes no complaint records or three year count. No BBB government-action alert appears, and the CSLB detail page displays no disciplinary actions or citations. Published absence of complaints is useful context, not proof that no complaint has ever existed.

Verifiable volumePending verification

No installation count, employee count, or megawatt figure was found. New Leaf is absent from Solar Power World's 2026 national list and 2025 California list. Its stated San Diego electrical and renewable-energy services establish an offering, not independently reported solar scale.

Warranty termsCompany claim

New Leaf says that work compromised in a solar installation is warranted for at least the state minimum requirements and that products carry the manufacturer's warranty. It does not publish a workmanship year count, exclusions, transfer rules, or a separate roof-leak term. That is a promise of some coverage, not a complete public warranty.

How to read this

The license record is the part of this profile that checks out cleanly. The contract is where the missing warranty detail needs to be fixed. Ask New Leaf to identify the exact labor term, the company responsible for correcting an installation defect, and the response process if a leak appears. A phrase like state minimum is not a substitute for a signed warranty exhibit with dates and exclusions. 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.
