Nueva Energy

C
C grade. Active C-10 license since August 2023, nothing disclosable at CSLB, and a BBB A whose only stated rating factor is how long the business has operated. The warranty is a single unquantified bullet and the site publishes no address or license number.

Nueva Energy checks out as a real, licensed Rancho Cucamonga electrical contractor. CSLB shows license 1108670 at 11175 Azusa Ct Ste 110, current and active, issued August 14, 2023 and good through August 31, 2027, with a 25,000 dollar North River bond effective July 30, 2025. There is no complaint-disclosure section, no citation, no accusation and no civil judgment on the record. BBB gives it an A, lists the same address, and says the rating factor behind that grade is length of time the business has been operating. Thumbtack independently verified the C-10 classification on 11/7/2024. Google shows 5.0 from 34 ratings in our Rancho Cucamonga feed.

The reason this lands mid-scale rather than higher is that almost nothing about scale or accountability is documented. Thumbtack lists four employees and hired eight times. That is the only volume evidence in the file, and it is platform activity, not verified installations. Nueva appears in none of the three Solar Power World lists we checked. The about page claims over 10 years of expertise in the electrical and solar industry, which is a statement about people, not about company age, and the company age itself is unclear: license issued 2023, BBB says two years, Thumbtack says four.

Two specifics deserve a direct question. First, the qualifying individual, Peter Joel Basurto, is the qualifier on four active licenses at once: South Bay Electric in Lynwood, LogicLamp Technologies in Fullerton, Nueva Energy here, and Solar Care and Electric in San Jose, the last of which he joined in May 2026. That is legal under CSLB rules, and it is also the person whose competency the license rests on, spread across the state. Second, the workers compensation certificate on file through Technology Insurance expires September 1, 2026, nine days after we pulled this record, so ask to see the renewal certificate rather than trusting our snapshot.

Get a quote if you want a small local crew and you are willing to do the paperwork yourself. The site says solar, storage and electrical work are all done in-house, and testimonials come from Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana and Ontario customers, which fits a company working its own backyard. But the homepage advertises 25-year equipment and workmanship coverage as a bullet with no terms, no exclusions and no transfer conditions, and the site publishes no street address, no legal entity designation and not even its own license number. Ask for all of it in writing, plus proof of who supervises the crew when the qualifier is on a job in Santa Clara County.

The evidence

LongevityPending verification

The company does not state a founding year on its site. CSLB issued license 1108670 on 08/14/2023, BBB lists two years in business, and Thumbtack says four years, so the records disagree. The about page's claim of over 10 years of expertise in the electrical and solar industry describes personnel experience, not the age of this business.

Complaints and enforcementVerified

License 1108670 displays no complaint-disclosure section, citation, accusation, or civil judgment as of 8/23/2026, and California's disclosure statute keeps most unresolved matters off that page, so this is silence rather than a certified zero. BBB publishes no complaints and no three-year count, and BBB only shows counts when complaints exist. No enforcement action of any kind was found in searches on the company or its named personnel.

Verifiable volumePending verification

The only figures available are from Thumbtack: four employees and hired eight times, with a background-checked name of Edgar Villanueva. That is platform activity rather than confirmed installation volume. The Nueva name turns up in none of the three Solar Power World rankings pulled for this batch, and no kilowatt or project total is published on the site.

Warranty termsCompany claim

The homepage lists 25-year equipment and workmanship coverage as a bullet under custom solar design. There are no terms, no exclusions, no transfer conditions, and no statement of which party carries the labor obligation, and the about page mentions no warranty at all. Treat the number as marketing until you have read the contract exhibit that defines it.

How to read this

Treat this grade as a measure of how thin the paper trail is, not as a knock on the crew. Two or three years of clean licensing plus a handful of platform hires is a starting record, and our scale reserves its top marks for companies with documented volume and a real warranty exhibit. The practical follow-ups are narrow: current workers compensation certificate, the written 25-year term, and the name of the on-site supervisor for your job. Answers to those three move this file more than any review score will. 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.
