Installer profile

Treepublic

B
B grade. Treepublic pairs a verified active dual-classification license and independently ranked installation volume with a light complaint record, but no workmanship warranty terms are published anywhere we could find.

Yes, get a quote. Treepublic is one of the few Los Angeles metro installers whose volume you can actually check. The 2026 Solar Power World lists rank it 143rd among all contractors nationally and 19th among installers, with 13,643.37 kW installed in 2025, and the 2025 California list puts it 32nd in the state at 11,711.32 kW. That is third-party published data, not a brochure claim, and most companies this size have nothing comparable on record.

The paperwork checks out with one naming wrinkle. The licensed entity is Treepublic Inc, doing business as Treepublic Solar, on license 996593, active with C-46 Solar and C-10 Electrical classifications, issued September 10, 2014 and expiring April 30, 2028. The website brands itself Treepublic and, on project pages, Treepublic Energy, which is a previous name on the same license, so all three names trace to one record. Note that CSLB reissued the license to another entity on April 26, 2022, the same date qualifying individual Omar Nasser certified 10 percent or more ownership. The complaint side is quiet: no publicly disclosable CSLB action appeared on the record when read, and BBB shows exactly 1 complaint in the last three years. The A- rating instead of A+ exists only because the company never responded to that one complaint, which is careless but not a pattern.

The gap that keeps this at B: no workmanship warranty terms are published on any company page we fetched. A third-party review site says the company site mentions a 25-year warranty, without specifying coverage, and that is not evidence of terms. The company also does not state a founding year on its own site; the about page says it has been investing in next economy ideas since 2008, while BBB dates the business start to September 10, 2014, matching the license. One more thing worth knowing: Treepublic also operates as an equipment distributor to over 20 countries, a dual installer-distributor model you rarely see at this scale. Before signing, get the warranty duration, scope, and exclusions in writing, because right now they exist nowhere in public.

The evidence

LongevityVerified

CSLB issued license 996593 on September 10, 2014, and BBB dates the business start to the same day with incorporation on August 16, 2016. The record shows the license was reissued to another entity on April 26, 2022, when Omar Nasser certified ownership. The company site states no founding year, saying only that it has invested in next economy ideas since 2008.

Complaints and enforcementVerified

No company-specific complaint disclosure link was displayed on the CSLB license detail page when read, which under restricted disclosure rules means nothing publicly disclosable, not that no complaint ever existed. BBB rates Treepublic A-, not accredited, with 1 complaint in the last three years and 0 closed in the last twelve months; BBB attributes the A- to failure to respond to that single complaint. No government enforcement action was found in the searches run.

Warranty termsPending verification

No workmanship warranty duration or scope is stated on the fetched company pages, including the about, projects, and press pages. A third-party review site says the company site mentions a 25-year warranty without specifying coverage, which is not company-published evidence of terms. Get the warranty in writing before signing anything.

How to read this

This grade weighs what the state and third parties publish, not what the brand says about itself. Treepublic earns its B on a checkable license and checkable volume, and loses the A on a warranty that exists only as a passing mention on a review site. Ask for the written warranty terms, ask whether the crew on your roof is employed or subcontracted (the public record does not say), and confirm the contract names Treepublic Inc, license 996593, not just the brand. 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.
