Installer profile
OC Solar
Worth a quote. The exact legal entity is Orange County Solar Contracting Services Inc, doing business as Orange County Contracting Services, on license 1023627, C-10 Electrical and B General Building, current and active, issued February 10, 2017 and expiring February 28, 2027. The CSLB address of record, 240 Progress Suite 100 in Irvine, matches the company's published headquarters exactly, and the company's own licensing page gives the same license number and legal name. Founder and CEO Vincent Curcie is the qualifying individual and a 10 percent or more owner on the license. One date to keep straight: the company says 2016 on its about, reviews, and why pages, while the license issued in 2017 and BBB accreditation dates to March 2017, so the operating claim runs roughly a year ahead of the state record. Both dates are presented here; neither is resolved.
Volume is verified, which most local installers cannot say. Solar Power World ranks OC Solar 159 nationally and 29 among installers for 2026 with 10,637.41 kW installed in 2025, and 45 in the 2025 California list with 5,976.11 kW. The company also claims real in-house crews, 6,373 plus projects and service calls completed by its own employees, with a services page that says its own employees do the work, not a rotating cast of subs. The complaint file is small but not empty: BBB shows A+ with 6 complaints in the last three years and 3 closed in the last 12 months. The sharpest one, from March 2026, alleged an elderly customer was overcharged after a salesperson submitted an incorrect contract, with payments of $692.02 later corrected to $598.46; OC Solar settled it by refunding $187.12 and the complaint closed Resolved. Another, from November 2025, described an initial inspection that missed an incompatible breaker box and no weekend emergency line, also Resolved.
The hole is the warranty. The reviews page says every install carries OC Solar's in-house workmanship warranty, and the equipment page advertises 25 year manufacturer terms plus an Exclusive 25 Year Promise, but no duration, scope, or exclusions are published anywhere for the workmanship coverage itself. A promise without terms is a sales line, not a warranty. Get the workmanship document before you compare this bid on price.
The evidence
CSLB issued license 1023627 on February 10, 2017 and BBB accreditation dates to March 16, 2017, while the company states 2016 on its about, reviews, and why pages, so the operating claim precedes the state license record by roughly a year and the two dates should not be treated as one verified founding.

No complaint disclosure link displayed on the CSLB record when read on August 25, 2026, meaning nothing publicly disclosable rather than no complaint ever, while BBB shows an A+ rating with 6 complaints in the last three years and 3 closed in the last 12 months, including a Resolved March 2026 overcharge of an elderly customer settled with a $187.12 refund and a Resolved November 2025 complaint about a missed incompatible breaker box.

How to read this
This B reflects a record where the checkable parts check out: the license matches the storefront, the volume comes from a third-party list, and the few complaints on file closed as Resolved. What it cannot vouch for is the warranty, because no workmanship term is published. Ask for the written workmanship document, confirm who services the system after year one, and get the crew commitment, in-house employees on your job specifically, into the contract. 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.
