    While the presentation itself went well, there were numerous snags that extended beyond three months total. The first visit, they sent someone out to mark the area for the install. I asked the lady if they could move the area across my drive which would have maximized the use of my solar day. She said no, it was to far away. I called the company back on numerous occasions explaining the panels would be too close to the house and I would lose more than half the day of power, and I kept running into resistance stating that the panels would be too far away from the power box. By the time all was

    Oh it sounds great, until it isn't. I am paying for a new system, but received most of my panels used and scratched. They are unwilling to admit this. They never come out to the site themselves and they overcharge big time! Take your business somewhere else and save yourself the headache. All my parts weren't even delivered, installers had to use their own materials. They said the scratches are natural and don't make a difference in quality. Who wants a new system with scratches on panels? What a joke, jokes on me for going with this company

    It was great until you realize its going to cost you $13000 every time you need roof work to remove and reinstall them. If you want to keep your 20 year warranty you cant use anyone else which is only charging around $6000.

    They were remarkably easy to work with. The overall process from when they did their initial site visit in late December to when the system was installed on April 4th they contact me about once every week to let me know where they were in the process and always responded to any questions I had the same day. Most of this time was spent with them working with my local electric company and city to obtain the permits, I did not need to do any of this. On installation day they came out and it took them about 6 hours to do all of the physical installation work (5.11 kWh system), the inspection was d

    America Stream Solar is an incredible team and just overall good people , very professional . We couldn't be any happier with the service we received from this company. Awesome benefits as well, like up to $500 electric bill payed while equipment being installed, to the $1000 rebate you get after it's set up and a $500 referral for anyone who goes solar with this company. Highly recommend America Stream Solar.

    American Stream Solar did an excellent job. Far better than the company I used in Bakersfield. The transaction was seamless-from dealing with Henry in sales to the project manager Pedro and the installation crew I have no complaints. Highly recommend American Stream Solar INC.

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.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
