1★ · around August 2025 · the company replied
The worst company to deal with. They install my solar and the process took them almost 6 months because they were not able to get the approvals. They promised me for 6 months free lease and that was a lie. They deducted from the first day. When they fix your wall they used different paint color and they never fix it after. No answer for my calls, texts or emails. Pls find another company.

As a realtor I'm very careful about who I refer my clients to, and Collective Solar exceeded every expectation. They helped one of my past clients who was at risk of losing her home insurance due to an aging roof. Their team handled everything from start to finish making what seemed like a stressful situation incredibly smooth and straightforward. Not only did they help her get a brand new roof but they also found a solution that lowered her energy costs. Professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly committed to helping people. I wouldn't hesitate to refer them again.

Their representatives were professional, responsive and detail oriented. They diagnosed the issue with our system and replaced the manufacturers equipment within a few hours. I recommend them for your next job.

Going through the solar process can be exhausting—especially when companies keep pushing a lease after you’ve made it clear you’re paying cash, or when quotes come in 15–20% above market. That all changed when I was introduced to Andy. From day one, he was transparent, listened to what I wanted, and helped me build the right system without any pressure. His pricing was very competitive. I shopped multiple well-known companies (Baker, NRG, and Solaris) along with several smaller installers, and Andy’s proposal stood out both in value and in how clearly everything was explained. He also took the

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 Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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 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.
