Its one and two star share is 5 points above the typical installer in the Toms River area. Across New Jersey, 84 of the 237 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 30 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    **SPAM CALLS CONSTANTLY!!** Even after I have told them that I do not own any properties I still get calls from them. Shame on them!!

    This is a big rip off. The sales reps Jason Phillips lied and now im paying way more than I was before. Now they wont pick up the phone. Not Jason Phillips, and not the 855 number. They just keep you on hold until you give up. Im getting rid of these panels.

    You'll regret ever sharing your contact information. Multiple unwanted calls after I stated I wasn't interested.

    Had a wonderful experience with big wave! They worked around my schedule and got it done in the time frame originally provided! Would recommend to anyone and would do it over again!

    I have had very negative experiences with Solar on the past but Bobby Demasse is one of the most honest representatives I have had the pleasure to work with. When we bought our new home, I was very skeptical to have solar again, but we reviewed the contract in depth.And he took every precaution to make sure everything was taken care of and everything that he stated has indeed been true. My bill has been exactly what it should be.And it has been a great experience for the last year.

    Great experience with Big Wave Roofing and Solar. Fred Wilson and his crew did a fantastic job with our solar panel installation. Explained everything thoroughly and completed the install in about 5 hours. Great team to work with!

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.

  • Warranty

    “on your total electricity cost is not guaranteed. Financing terms and warranties vary…”

  • Free estimate

    “Otherwise, -->Please complete our free consultation form below and we will connect you…”

Elsewhere

  • Google also lists this company under gutters.
  • It is also reviewed on Yelp and 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.
  • It posts on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn 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.

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 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.
