Took our money an ran. Never installed the solar panels. Just kept leading me on with lies and excuses. Then when you try to serve them with legal papers they won't take them. Don't trust a word Brandon Knight or anyone from Distributed Power says.

This was the worst experience I have ever had. And the sad thing is we loved them after we bought our first set of solar panels on our first house in 2019. I was so impressed with how easy and well done the experience was, I insisted that we use them again. We hired them in August of 2024, signed a contract for solar panels that said they would be up and running in 90 days, but he said likely 30 days. We had to call and harass them several times to even get anyone out to work on them. The first time we had them installed, they finished in 1 day, 6 hours total and everything was up and going. T

Distributed Power installed my solar array system two years ago and I was pretty satisfied. The system works great. This spring I hired them to install a EV charger that works with my inverter to manage car charging. The initial install went well but a component was missing and that prevented me from getting the benefit from the connectivity to the inverter. I've made numerous requests over the last couple of months and had a conversation with the owner but the last steps if the install have still not been completed. In fact, I haven't even received responses to my multiple messages over the l

Distributed Power's team made the decision to switch to solar clear and easy. They have a wide variety of solutions available so you can get the system that's right for your needs.

Distributed Power came recommended from a work associate. They were extremely competitive and addressed all questions we had. They started with a very typical solar system that is great if you want turn key no issues. When it became obviously we had prior in depth solar experience they were very flexible proposing more advanced ideas to address highly shaded areas in a way that kept those areas cost effective. So great for both people who need it to 'just work' as well as those with an engineering mindset. 100% would use again.

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.
- Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Ferndale 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.
