    Do your own homework on what they are promising you will get out of doing solar. Do NOT do it unless you plan to stay in your house for at least 10 more yrs (more like 15) and do not take their word on how to get out of it all if you do have to move. They will say what they need to say to make the sale. This is a huge commitment.

    STAY AWAY !. I have never wrote a bad review but this has been brewing for 18 months. I signed the papers in January 2020 and then the pandemic hit so I told him I was going to back out. He threaten legal action so I had no other choice but to stay on board with this uncertainty. It took them 9 to ten months to get the solar panels running, however I started paying for them in March.Had to keep begging for them to cut the the trees that they promise. I ended contacting the BBB and only got a angry call from the owner. So they also promised one year of payments. They only payed me 5 or 6 months

    A friend referred me, and I am happy that I got to know these guys. Thanks for answering all my questions and the end results are fantastic

    It’s been a year since I had my solar setup installed, and I can’t complain about anything! From the initial estimate to follow-ups, these guys did everything perfectly.

    I will give A+ for their service. I couldn't find any fault in the installation as it was scheduled correctly and executed. They never ignore calls, and that's a very pleasing quality.

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.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp and 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.

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 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.
