Its one and two star share is 1 point above the typical installer in Bozeman. Across Montana, 11 of the 36 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 121 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.

What reviewers said

  • 1★ · around August 2014

    Did not want to help with my system problem since they were busy with new installs. Do not waste your time with them.

  • 5★ · around July 2026 · the company replied

    Our experience with Independent Power was excellent. Installation of our solar system was professionally done and electricians dealt with any issues in a very timely manner.

  • 5★ · around May 2026

    We had a pair of pigeons starting to build a nest under one of our solar panels, so we asked Independent Power to install a mesh animal guard around our twelve panels. Technician Jim Earl arrived right on schedule and finished the timely installation under some very trying conditions. He had to endure a sudden squall with wind and horizontally blowing sleet. It was short lived, but another heavier snow squall blew in a bit later as he was doing the finishings touches. Even with Mother Nature's challenges, he did a very nice job. We are very pleased with the result.

    Sam, Cierra, Dustin, Braden, and Jim have been very professional and a pleasure to work with. I am completely satisfied with my experience and appreciate their attention to detail and the knowledge they provided.

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.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Angi, Yelp and HomeAdvisor. 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.
