Its one and two star share is level with the typical installer in Boise. Across Idaho, 26 of the 50 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.
The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 304 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Ordered by the share of one and two star reviews, weighted by how many reviews stand behind it. It ranks review records, not workmanship.

Well after five years the county is trying to still get a sign off on the electrical inspection. The company customer service sucks, salesman lied and the installers did not complete the process,I had to meet with the inspectors and the overall experience was junk, I would suggest not doing business with solar power and if you do not this outfit

We were assured our system would be more than enough to cover our needs. We were VERY skeptical about going solar and actually turned them down the first time. Going solar Is our greatest regret. Buyers…. Beware. Our system is huge…. And now we have a HUGE solar payment AND a power bill.

I met with them a year ago or longer. Today they called. I didn't recognize the number and was busy so I didn't answer. They immediately called again. I thought it might be one of my kids needing help from someone else's phone. Nope. She said she did that to make sure she got through. Poor business practice!

Idahome Energy LLC just updated my solar plant to include the Tesla Powerwall w/expansion pack. I had been holding off on the battery component of my system for a few years after they installed my panels. I’m glad I did what an awesome product and slick installation. The within the first couple of nights after the install we actually lost commercial power due to a fire close by that took out some power lines. Someone had to tell us about it the next day because we never felt a thing. The powerwall kept us up and running. My remote light or CoAP didn’t even flicker. That is a pretty smooth tran

Very happy with Idahome installing our solar panels. Matt was great to work with - no high pressure on the sale and the company's communication was excellent throught the process.

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.
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.

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.
