    STAY AWAY!! I am one of the customer so I can give first hand information right from installation to post installation support. It was bad experience all along. My installation work was about to start on the day, so I took day off so installers could get to my house and install. Installers did not show that day and did not even bother to call. Considering, I had taken day off for installation and left my work. So I called Heath , he was not even apologetic and instead told me it’s common in construction business for people to not show up. Hmm.. After few days, their crew came to install panels

    Our HOA used Heath for a Number of installations, and I had him do 4 properties for us. The quote process was fine, the pricing competitive and we got the job done. He required final payment when the permit was signed off by the county. But after that we were on our own. The systems were not turned on, wireless transmitters left in boxes outside in rain for weeks (we didn’t know). We made two trips at 120 miles each way to turn ten on and get software set up. We have 1/4 with monitoring software working. Repeated emails have not changed the outcome. Heath says he doesn’t know how To set them u

    Today, two young technicians came to our home to diagnose an issue with our solar system, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. They arrived on time, quickly identified the problem within about 30 minutes, and explained everything clearly and honestly. Their technical knowledge and professionalism immediately gave us confidence that we had chosen the right company. What impressed us even more was their attitude. They were courteous, patient, respectful, and genuinely cared about doing the job right. They took the time to answer our questions without ever making us feel rushed. It is

    The Excite Energy team -- led by a very engaged owner/CEO, Heath Kirin -- was great to work with from the start. They listened to our priorities and were highly informative about multiple options for panels and batteries; offered the best pricing BY FAR among four companies that bid (about 15% lower than the next best!); and exceeded our expectations for speedy installation. At our request, they installed the wiring/conduit under the roof and inside of walls for a clean look, at no additional expense. They took care of everything that was needed with PGE, then set up the system operation per o

    We could not have been happier with the work that Excite Energy did. Extremely knowledgeable and efficient. We had used them for our initial install. We then wanted to add some panels and they, again, did a fantastic job. Great follow-up, as well.

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

  • Google also lists this company under electrical.
  • 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.

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.
