    This is the best company to work with ! They give you all your options they don’t just try to make the most money for themselves. We have a system that is 10 years old and needs to be replaced. They told us we could extend the warranty on it so it did not end up that we had to buy a new system. Other companies I talked to , only tried to get me to buy from them a new system that was 3x the cost Not telling me I was under warranty or that I could extend the warranty.

    Prior to hiring HRS, my off grid system crashed countless times. On one occasion (a Sunday morning last January, 25 degrees, the second crash in a week) I called my installer for help. He was both unable and unwilling to resolve the problem. So I placed a distress call to HRS. Amazingly, Jim Goff not only picked up the phone but guided me through the steps necessary to correct what turned out to be improper programming by the installer. Electricity (and heat) restored. To be clear: I was not a client. It was 9am on a Sunday yet Jim was both willing and able to resolve the problem. I then hired

    We have been working with Jim/Jeevan and his stellar team for the last several years. We completed a large-scale install for our homestead and every step of the way working with HRS has been a dream. We are so pleased with our panels and the backup battery system, we couldn’t recommend this company and team any more. We did our homework and even decided to back out of a different company contract because no one could provide the materials, quality and pricing that HRS could. You will not regret working with them.

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.

  • Veteran owned

    “and for a full 30 years. Sol-Ark is a veteran-owned engineering company with the mission…”

  • Warranty

    “products carry a complete 30-year warranty.) We have NABCEP certified experts…”

  • Insured

    “and our crews are OSHA trained and fully insured to make your customer experience a…”

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on ConsumerAffairs 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.

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.
