Genesis Home and Energy

Each mark is one company we hold in the Charlottesville area whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Genesis Home and Energy is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

  Genesis did an outstanding job, in all respects, when installing solar panels on my roof. Their price was fair, and they stand behind their work 100 percent if anything gives trouble. They were pleasant to work with and took great care not to damage my roof, gutters, bushes, lawn, etc. I have worked with three other solar contractors and Genesis is the best by far.

  We had an 8.55 kW roof mount system installed by Genesis Home and Energy, and I'm very happy. I found prices to be competitive for a rather complex installation on three roof surfaces with microinverters that cost a little more more, but yield more energy per panel, as they are not as affected by shade or mismatch.

  I needed a small portable emergency solar system with potential to run a freezer, lights, and communications at home in an emergency as well. Randy did an outstanding job designing and installing the critical parts. He worked through testing it with me, made excellent suggestions, and made the project a pleasure. I am using this 2-panel system very flexibly at home and one the road.

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.

• It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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.

• —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.
