Pingo's mission is to install solar panels on every roof within one decade. We were founded in 2013 by a group of engineers, an economist and trade professionals that wanted to prove the solar systems can be affordable and that the buying process can be enjoyable at the same time. Pingo started with the idea that democratizing solar was the single most effective way to combat climate change.
To do this, we set out to prove that we can build cost effective solar systems at an affordable price. To advance this goal, we innovated with custom hardware and software solutions pushing the boundaries of the industry. To do this, in 2019 we released a new customer-direct platform that allows customers to easily purchase solar systems online.

Get instant pricing online with unmatched economic value through our intuitive solar design tool. Pricing is transparent, the process is streamlined and installations come with a smile. Pingo works directly with global manufacturers to deliver you the best products at unbelievable prices. If you do not generate the electric power as stated in your solar installation agreement, Pingo will provide you a refund for the lost power.
The 82kW rooftop solar system was built for the Crestavilla Assisted Living Facility located in Laguna Niguel and was completed in 2019. The Riverwalk Pediatrics and Hina's Pharmacy solar system combines both a rooftop and carport system to help offset their energy needs. The carport also provides shade for patients as well as lighting at night.
We lean toward breaking the status quo way of doing things and seek team members that challenge themselves and make excellence a habit. If we reveal ourselves without worrying about how others will respond, then some will care, though others may not. But who can love you, if no one knows you? So we risk it and we hope you do too.
Depending on the electric vehicle you purchase, the additional electricity usage can vary. For example, the Tesla Model 3 averages about 250Wh/mile so for 12,000 miles, it will use about 3,000kWh/year or 250kWh/month. The Tesla Model S averages about 350Wh so for 12,000 miles, it will use about 4,200kWh/year or 350kWh/month.

We used Pingo Solar last year to install our solar panels after doing plenty of research on pricing and companies. Their price was not the most expensive nor the cheapest, but it was fair and we don't have any complaints about the panels themselves.
Now the reason for the lower rating... we wanted to run the solar through our partially finished attic, which they offer for an extra cost, which is totally fine. When the wiring through the attic was done and we went up to inspect it, they had not run the wiring along the wall, which I would have expected. Instead, they had decided to run this

Pingo Solar is a straightforward, knowledgeable, no-BS outfit. I wanted to upgrade my existing 2kW system to use smart inverters, and add more capacity to offset rising electrical costs. Scott helped me decide on the right smart inverter technology, and size my upgrade correctly; Hayden and Alex made sure the installation and certification process went as smoothly as possible (wow, SCE is a pain), and Eugene solved a minor post-installation glitch quickly. I nearly tripled my system's capacity for less than I paid for my original installation. Just a painless, low-friction experience end-to-end

Pingo is a great company. They are reliable, cost effective and have excellent customer service. My project required several postponements and they were able to accommodate my schedule changes with ease. Every time I called or had a question, I was given accurate and reliable information. I thoroughly trust this company and would highly recommend them for any solar project.

I got a solar system consisting of 20 LG panels and a SolarEdge Inverter through Pingo. They made the whole process painless and took care of everything including design, installation, main panel upgrade, permits, etc. Pingo was a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. Their price was more competitive than other solar companies I quoted. I highly recommend Pingo Solar without reservation.

Pingo Solar is a hidden gem in the over commercialized solar installation marketplace, We did a thorough research before installing solar and received multiple quotes from large installers before deciding to go with Pingo Solar. The experience from start to finish was great with planning, approval, installation and communication.

I like to think I am an educated buyer and before making any big purchase I do my research. Before starting my journey into Solar, I looked into the technology, net metering, time of use and any other variables such as pricing and warranty I needed to think of before I started reaching out to vendors for competitive pricing. After getting multiple quotes, Pingo gave me the best deal. That was the start; I ended up following up and speaking with their sales rep Steve. After multiple calls to discuss questions I had about the tech they were using, the racks they used, their warranty and just

Saved over $1,500 in electricity bills in the first 6 months. SDGE currently owes me over $330 in Net Metering Energy credits. Pingo is an honest and hard working company. My system was installed in 1 1/2 days and experienced no problems through the whole process. Longest time was waiting for my HOA to approve my project. 100% recommend Pingo to all my friends and family.

My Pingo installation was completed February 27th ahead of my "aggressive" schedule by an outstanding Pingo Team!
My sales representative was very supportive the entire process and his knowledge of Solar was very impressive.
I started with over 6-7 different bids throughout the EnergySage process and quickly narrowed the field to just Pingo.
I can honestly say their price was SIGNIFICANTLY less then all the competitors. Being in Palm Desert I was a bit concerned with Pingo's location (Buena Park) but that proved to be not a problem a day or two into service when Pingos monitoring

These guys at Pingo are the best. I can tell you that i shopped around a lot and sometimes cheapest is not always the best but in this case it was amazing how great their prices were and how professional they did everything. It can be very scary to let strangers into your house to make sure you that you picked the right people to do the proper work for you. I highly recommend Pingo they really know what they are doing.

I met Pingo at a home improvement show in San Diego and initially I had my reservations, but after talking with 5 companies and having all the companies come out to tell me that I can't install solar, Pingo was the only group technically competent enough to figure it all out for my home.
We have a very complicated roof that has shading from multiple locations. The trees causing the shading are owned by the city, so there was no way we were going to trim or remove the shading.
Pingo came out on the roof and their technicians measured literally 5 times and ran the calculations 6 ways and
