One star is too many stars. We had solar completed on our home in 2023 and owed nothing on it when it was complete. In October 2024–20 MONTHS—after the system was operational, the company placed a $90,000 mechanic’s lien on our property with no prior discussion or warning. This created serious financial and legal stress for my family. I strongly recommend getting everything in writing going with a different company. I will never recommend this company to anyone. In fact, quite the opposite!

Comet Energy installed permanent lighting for us. Their installers were great to work with, fast, efficient and knowledgeable. They are easy to contact if you need them. Cody has been back two more times for other things and he is so nice and has shown us some shortcuts.. He is a pure pleasure to work with. We purchased the light from another company but Comet did the install. Highly recommend them.

I called Comet Energy for help with my solar system. Comet Energy did not install my system, but they were willing to help me. Over the phone I talked to Bryce. Due to the dishonest company practice of the company that did install my system, I had to remove my solar panels personally for a new roof to be installed and then reinstall them, He listened to all the troubleshooting that I had already preformed on my system. Bryce promptly responded with the likely problem and how to fix the issue. I checked my system again with his information in my belt and he was correct! I now have a 100% workin

We give Comet Energy top rating for all aspects of installing a solar system at our house. The office/admin and technical/installation team are highly professional and competent, and genuinely pleasant. They worked with us on detailed design aspects -- so the routing of conduit from the roof to the garage blended with the house exterior (rather than giving a haphazard clunky look), and also the placement of the Enphase battery and combiner, and associated circuitry modifications inside our garage, met code with a clean look while preserving our usable space. And the installation team left our

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
“energy. Choose a solar company with over 22 years of experience. Call (208) 278-6064…”
Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- Google also lists this company under electrical.
- It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau and Yelp. 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 Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
- Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Boise is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
- 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.
