    I highly wouldn't recommend National Energy Installers to install any solar panel system or electrical system. I called them out for not following NEC.

    I can't say enough good things about my experience with National Energy Installers! I recently bought a brand new home and it came with 12 solar panels already installed.

This is one of the best home investments I’ve made, especially with energy costs rising..

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.
