    Please read before choosing this company. I did a lot of research on installing a solar system to my home. This is my first home so I take a lot of pride in it and did a lot of research before moving forward with this company. Unfortunately my experience seems to be the total opposite of most others. The first issue was with permits, I was told 4 weeks for permits to be back and pick an install date. Week 3 o reach out to the team and only then do they inform me that my permits weren’t sent out due to “unforeseen” circumstances.I wait a few more weeks and they finally come in and I’m given an

    I can’t express how incredible Nicole Barenchi of ESA was with regard to helping my parents and I with our project. From the very beginning until the very end, she was invaluable and instrumental in helping us and guiding us through the entire process. She carefully explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. She repeatedly went out of her way, and went above and beyond to help us in any way she could - she never stopped trying and she never gave up. In an era where you wonder how some companies stay in business considering how poorly they treat their customers, with their la

    I had my 11.4kw system installed back in 2018. We also purchased the removal take down package. Because of insurance issues, we had to get a new roof. ESA came out and removed my planels and re-installed them. Glad to know they stand behind their contract because during the whole re-roofing ordeal, a few roofing companies said solar companies are pulling their "customers through the coals" when it comes to removal/reinstall of the solar panels.

    I've had my solar system for a little over 3 years now. It's functioning well and I am happy with my decision to go solar. esaSolar did the installation of my SunPower system. The team was very professional; there were a couple of hiccups along the way but esaSolar was responsive and kept good communication. Additionally, I know that SunPower is a highly-rated brand in the solar industry .

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

    “a 40-year useful life with a 25-year warranty. While maintenance needs are minimal,…”

Its website also mentions licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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.
