What reviewers said

  • 1★ · around August 2024

    Original installer went bankrupt and try to get Richard to help. Gave him all the information, but never received a real response on whether he can do it not.. complete waste of my time...

    Halvorsen Solar is the company to call when you need expert service on a solar electrical system. Richard Halvorsen is highly knowledgeable on all aspects of solar systems and prompt and thorough in his approach to customer service.

    Rich does great work and provides excellent service. He's also a good guy. I have worked with him both at my business for maintenance and he did my home install. Highly recommend.

    SunPower refused to honor warranty for over a year. Richard fixed the system within 3 hours. Excellent service. Punctual. Fine personality. Go for it !!

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
