    August 2025. Worst company purchase ever. Grid dependency 66 percent. What is solar panel even producing. Also installation is bad and has moved my roof structure. April 2018, Read fine print of contract and payment schedule. Also see where they install it on the roof. My roof structure is moving after solar panels were installed.

    I recently got solar panels here. Before you do look at the plan and how conduit is hidden or you will have an eyesore of a roof. After emailing multiple times about this and getting my solar panels turned on which I have had installed and ready on my roof for over two months now, neither has been done. My solar panels were done in November and it is already half way through January. I really wanted to like this company because they had great rates and at the beginning worked so well with me. But the moment you sign they became more withdrawn. If you go with this company be ready to follow up

    It came down to be all false advertisement that misled me into the contract. The company does not want to take any responsibility of it. Ignoring my email and phone calls for weeks...... Company blames on their sales contractors but is that my fault? Sales person explained that it will cover 100 % of my electricity bills but it only cover 30%. Only solution will be adding more solar panel (even with that it will cover about 70~80%, I cannot trust if it is true) with extra cost. Anyway even I agreed to do if they wiling to extend the loan terms but refused. So the loan payment and electricity b

    One thing I appreciated was their attention to detail during installation. They didn’t rush the process and made sure everything was aligned properly for better performance. The team was polite and answered my questions during the work. There was a slight delay in activating the system, but they communicated clearly and resolved it. Now that everything is running, I can see consistent energy output. It’s satisfying to check the system and see how much power is being generated each day.

    I absolutely recommend this company. Sheldon and Sara have done a spectacular job explaining the process and answering any questions we may have had along the way. Initially, Sheldon came by for a home visit to discuss going solar. However, once here he went above and beyond by checking our leaking AC unit and told us to first change our unit before considering going solar. This company has taken care of us like no other company has. Defiantly recommend their service.

    Jenni showed up to our door and we expressed interest. From there, the process was really fast and relatively painless. Sheldon and Jenni set up and appointment with us so we could discuss the details and they could answer any questions we had. They have both been very pleasant and helpful throughout this experience. If anything was unclear due to us not knowing what to ask at the time of our initial chat, Jenni was able to answer all of our questions very promptly, even after the install was complete. Speaking of the install, that was incredibly fast and smooth going. We have so far had no is

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Years in business

    “suited to your needs. With over 100 years of collective solar experience, you…”

Its website also mentions warranty, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It posts on X, Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.
