    I wish I could give Seth more stars, he has ended my solar nightmare. Seth has integrity and is a true expert in the solar field. I feel so lucky to have found him. I had my solar “fixed” by another company and a new inverter installed. I discovered my system still wasn’t producing because they installed the wrong kind of inverter, so I asked Seth to recommend a new inverter and fix my system. Not only did Seth quote me an extremely fair price to replace my inverter, he discovered the other company left wires hanging out and holes in my roof. Seth fixed everything he found wrong and made sure

    Shortly after buying my home, I explored several solar companies. Many declined the job, had long timelines, or had high prices and were pushy about getting me into a lease. After connecting with Daniel, the process became much easier. He leveraged direct sourcing and bulk purchasing to significantly reduce costs. I was able to get Tesla batteries for far less than other quotes, saving thousands per battery. The installation was professional and detail-oriented, including thoughtful routing to minimize visible conduit. Daniel clearly explained the process and ensured everything was set up prop

    We had some batteries installed at our house and after some issues with other solar companies and electricians, Seth came out and did a site visit. First impression was this man is very passionate about the industry. He took the time to explain the system and how it would all work in great detail. He spent time answering questions from my wife via text, and not just one or two liners either. The install was fast and smooth and the system is awesome. It looks great and works great. We can not say enough good things about this company.

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.

  • Warranty

    “a solar system that's now out of warranty, or if the original installer…”

  • Licensed

    “About Me My name is Seth, and I am a licensed solar contractor based in Butte…”

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on 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.
  • It posts on Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
