    Cf solar is nothing but a middle man to make money. I was promised quick easy solutions through the whole process. Anytime I have a question it is never answered and I am told I will be called back. Then to never actually get an answer. Cf solar is a total scam and I don't understand what there job is in solar even. They contract titan to do everything then wash their hands of you. Now that titan is out of business too Cf solar can give me no direction or any help with how to move forward or help me diagnose a problem that did come up with my system. Stay far away from this company!

    Maybe it was the second party that was the problem initially, CF blames Titan, Titan blames CF but 7 months in and several bills for both solar and electricity later, just (this week) passed inspection after 2 failed. The sales team won't respond to emails, calls or text. The sales pitch is vastly different than the experience. Do not count on a state grant - mine was supposedly coming in 3-6 months, I have now learned it will be closer to 2 years as they missed the deadline for sending in what I signed. The installation company has never responded. I had to contact the States Atty to get any

    We initially signed a contract with CF Solar in April of 2023 and were told that installation would be 6-8 weeks out. Not long after signing the contract, we discovered that Titan Solar would be doing our install; and after reading their reviews I brought my concerns to our CF Solar reps attention. He reassured me that Titan was ONLY doing our install, but all else (including any issues we may have/warranty/etc) would be handled by CF (which, up to this point had been very responsive). Our panels were delivered in June of 2023, with one panel being broken. The installation moved forward in Jun

    The guys did great! We had multiple quotes and they beat them all and did whatever they could to try and earn my business. The panels looks fantastic! I’m looking forward to spending less on my utility bills especially in these times of inflation and uncertainty. Thank you CF Solar for taking good care of my home, family AND finances!

    I purchased my home solar system from C.F. Solar about two years ago, had a fantastic experience during the whole process. Everything worked out nicely and they saved us a lot of money on our electric costs. The solar system works great. Would highly recommend them. Thank you CF Solar!

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.

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.

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.
