Horrible customer service. My PWRcell had a PVRSS lockout error for over a month. Been trying to get in contact with their “service department” for a month and a half with no luck. Got hung up on by the “manager” when I asked for a callback to confirm they have received my complaint after 3 attempts, stating, “why would I call you back, that’s a service problem” Again, not good service being hung up on and talked over when my expensive system isn’t working

I would give this company 0 stars if I could. We bought a home that had solar panels installed previously by Future Energy Savers. We were advised to get the panels recertified by the installer, Future Energy Savers, which we did for many hundreds of dollars. Fast forward 5 years and I call to request another inspection and they state that they have no record of our account and no record of payment for recertification. Ultimately, I had to supply them with email correspondences and a copy of the cashed check from 5 years ago before they conveniently found the account and verified that we had i

I made it perfectly clear to the sales person that this has to be an off grid system. I confirmed this several times as well. The guy shows up an hour and a half late so I wasted my time sitting around waiting for him. Then he gets there with a lame excuse. We drive another 10 miles to the site and he tells me they don’t do off grid systems. I wasted 6 hours of my time getting up in the middle of the night to be on time for nothing. This is a very poorly run company. Find someone else to install your system

I will start that when it works it works well. Sale was fast easy. $42,000 no financing. Installed 3 yrs almost to the day. Install was a bit of a problem. The back up battery could not be installed where we initially we told it would be. Then when it was moved to drive where new laws say you need a Ballard to block and protect batteries. Install done. Big yellow ballard sticking out in my driveway. So then we had extra wires because of location change they rolled them up and secured them to the wall. Positive they paint everything to mach stucco. I had to call them back have them shortened wi

I have used Future Energy Savers back in 2023 to install my solar and battery system back before NEM 2.0 went away and they did an awesome job with the installation and the service when needed. Just this month, James reached out and said they were now providing Heat Pump HVAC systems and was in the neighborhood and wanted to talk to me to see if I was interested. Knowing I was on borrowed time with my old system, I set up an appointment to hear him out and was sold! Couple days later Pat came out and did his assessment, and less than a week later I have a new HVAC systems. Pat, Ethan, and Chri

We worked with Future Energy Savers for our solar panels, and they we're so helpful. Super knowledgeable and not pushy. Briana came over, answered all of our questions, and even helped us figure out the best place to install our panels. If you need anything solar related, I definitely recommend reaching out to Future Energy Savers.

We first met Future Energy Savers in 2023 at a local Tri-County Home & Garden Show in Sacramento and scheduled an in-home appointment with James about a week and a half later. From the start, James was incredibly thorough and transparent. He walked us through the company’s history, general solar education, technical details of the panels and batteries, and what customer support looks like after installation. The initial meeting lasted close to three hours, and at no point did we feel rushed or pressured. Future Energy Savers was the third solar company we spoke with, and at the time, we wanted

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
“roofing manufacturer. After all, a warranty is only as good as the manufacturer…”
Better Business Bureau
“in our 'A+' rating with the Better Business Bureau and our 98% Customer Satisfaction…”
Its website also mentions established and licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- Google also lists this company under windows.
- It is also reviewed on Angi, 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 and Instagram. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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 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.
