Installer profile
Sun Pacific Solar Electric Inc
Sun Pacific Solar Electric is worth a quote if you are in Santa Barbara or the Tri-County area. The CSLB record is the strongest thing here: license 860806, current and active, held by Sun Pacific Solar Electric Inc as a corporation at 809 Bond Avenue Suite B in Santa Barbara, expiring 06/30/2028, with a $25,000 bond and workers compensation coverage through 10/01/2026. No disciplinary action, no complaint disclosure, no civil judgment on the record. One detail worth knowing: the classification is C-10 Electrical only. That lawfully covers solar photovoltaic work in California, but this is not a C-46 solar or B general building license, so do not expect it to cover roofing or structural work.
The dates take a minute to untangle. The license was first issued 06/24/2005 and reissued to another entity on 06/13/2008, while the company site says it was founded in 2007. The fetched pages do not explain that chain, so treat the verifiable corporate history as running from 2008. The company presents as a woman owned local installer, certified by the National Women Business Owners Corporation, with Cecilia Villasenor Johnson as President and CEO since 2015 and qualifying individual Wesly Johnson, who certified 10 percent or more ownership, as Vice President.
Two gaps keep this at B. The BBB profile is effectively empty right now: no rating, no start date, and a complaints page that says the profile is being updated, so complaint history cannot be reported in either direction. And the volume figures, over 700 customers and over 2,000 kW installed since 2007, are the company's own numbers; no Sun Pacific entry appears in the 2026 Solar Power World lists or the 2025 California list. No workmanship warranty duration or scope is published anywhere on the fetched pages, so get that in writing before you sign.
The evidence
CSLB license 860806 was first issued 06/24/2005 and reissued to another entity 06/13/2008, expiring 06/30/2028. The company site dates its founding to 2007, and BBB shows no start date. The record supports licensed operation in the current corporate form since 2008, though the fetched pages never explain the 2005 to 2008 chain.

The CSLB detail page shows no disciplinary action, no complaint disclosure entry, and no construction related civil judgment, and enforcement searches found no AG, DA, CPUC, or FTC action naming the company. But the BBB complaints page states the profile is being updated and displays no complaint data at all, so third party complaint history could not be read either way.

The company says it has installed over 2,000 kW of solar in Santa Barbara and the Tri-County region and served over 700 customers since 2007. Those are its own figures. No Sun Pacific entry appears in the 2026 Top Solar Contractors list, the 2026 Top Solar Installers list, or the 2025 Top California Solar Contractors list, so no independent volume evidence exists.

No workmanship or installation warranty duration or scope is stated on the fetched home, about, or team pages. The company provides SunPower panels, but equipment warranties are not the same thing as a workmanship guarantee from the installer. Ask for written warranty terms with the proposal.

How to read this
This grade leans on a state license record that checked out clean and marks everything else honestly unproven. The empty BBB profile is not evidence of complaints and it is not evidence of a clean record either; it is simply unreadable right now. Before signing, ask Sun Pacific for its workmanship warranty in writing and for recent Santa Barbara jobs you can verify, since no third party volume figure exists for this company. 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.
