Installer profile

Solar Symphony Construction Inc

B
B grade. A clean 12-year license and the strongest published warranty terms in this track, held back by the absence of third-party volume evidence and a complaint pattern of battery owners stranded by a manufacturer bankruptcy.

Solar Symphony Construction is worth a quote, and the reason is unusual: it publishes warranty terms most installers keep vague. The CSLB entity is Solar Symphony Construction Inc, license 988146, active since October 2013 with B General Building and C-46 Solar classifications, qualifier Aaron Paul Eriksson, no publicly disclosable CSLB action. The written terms: a 20-year roof leak warranty covering all contact points of the solar system on the roof, a 20-year workmanship warranty on microinverter systems including service calls to replace faulty equipment, and a 25-year production guarantee under which the company pays for missed production or increases system size. It also says it sets aside 1 percent of total revenues in an interest-bearing account for warranty claims. That reserve is a company statement, not an audited fact, but almost nobody even makes the statement.

Now the caveat that its own complaint record teaches. Workmanship coverage is not equipment coverage. The heaviest BBB complaint theme is owners of Electriq PowerPod 2 batteries stranded after the manufacturer's bankruptcy; in a June 2025 complaint from a customer with a 2021 system over $40,000, Solar Symphony responded that its warranty covers workmanship, not manufacturer product warranties, and offered a paid inverter replacement as the only viable fix. That position is probably contractually correct, and it is exactly why the brand of battery on your proposal matters as much as the installer. BBB shows an A- rating, accreditation since 2024, and 9 complaints in three years.

Two smaller flags. The marketing says more than 40 years of contracting experience through a family history dating to 1978, but this corporation dates to April 2013 on BBB and October 2013 at CSLB; judge it as a 12-year company. And no Solar Symphony entry appears in the reviewed Solar Power World tables, so installation scale is unverified. Strong paper, no independent volume. That is a B.

The evidence

LongevityVerified

CSLB issued license 988146 on October 31, 2013 and BBB dates the business start and incorporation to April 3, 2013, a consistent 12-year corporate record; the site's claim of more than 40 years rests on a contracting family history since 1978, not on this corporation.

Complaints and enforcementVerified

No complaint disclosure link displayed on license 988146, meaning nothing publicly disclosable rather than no complaint ever; BBB shows an A- rating with 9 complaints in three years, 5 closed in the last 12 months, the heaviest theme being Electriq battery owners left without support after the maker's bankruptcy, and the searches run found no government enforcement action against Solar Symphony Construction Inc.

Verifiable volumePending verification

No Solar Symphony entry was found in the populated 2026 Top Solar Contractors, 2025 Top California Solar Contractors, or 2026 Top Solar Installers tables, and the company publishes no install count or megawatt total on the pages read, so installation scale cannot be independently verified.

Warranty termsCompany claim

The company publishes a 20-year roof leak warranty, a 20-year workmanship warranty on microinverter systems including service calls to replace faulty equipment, and a 25-year production guarantee, and says it reserves 1 percent of total revenues for warranty claims; its BBB complaint responses confirm the coverage is workmanship only, not manufacturer product warranties, so equipment failures after a maker's bankruptcy fall outside it.

How to read this

This B leans on paper the company itself published, so your job is to convert that paper into contract terms. Have the 20-year roof leak, 20-year workmanship, and 25-year production language attached to the proposal, and pay attention to what sits outside it: manufacturer equipment warranties. The Electriq complaints show what happens when a battery maker disappears, so pick equipment whose manufacturer you expect to outlive the warranty, and ask in writing who services a failed unit if the maker cannot. 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.
