NATiVE Solar

Each mark is one company we hold in the Austin area whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. NATiVE Solar is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

  I installed solar panels with Native Solar in spring 2017. While the sales/design team were pleasant to work with, communication was lacking during project execution. The PM was hard to reach. Knowing what I've learned now my options were never explained to me with tracking solar production. Up to this year the system has worked well. Earlier this year my tracking app stopped tracking production. Long story short they have not been very responsive to my inquiries, requiring multiple follow up emails/texts. My only option seems to be after paying for a complete system to include being able to s

  You better hope nothing goes off line or breaks (especially with out your knowledge) cause they’ll charge you $300 just to send someone to look at your system and then tack on $175 an hour for repairs on top of that. They also won’t give you updates or inform you what they’re doing or when they’ll come back, ya gotta keep bugging them for information. I’ve had my system for two years, it was offline for 3 months and I had no clue. Solar is a scam, yall.

  We currently have over 60 solar panels, which we have had for over 10 years. These work well. However, we had an enphase system installed to help power our house during power outages. Unfortunately, this system has failed us every time we have had a power outage. My husband just spent about 1 hour outside in the rain on the phone with support trying to trouble shoot the problem, but didn’t have much luck. We only got our power back when power was restored in our neighborhood. We could see that our neighbors generac systems were hard at work and they had no problems with their backup system. If

  I had 4000 watts added to my existing off grid 7800 watts because 2023 was SOOOOO hot that the generator ran over 100 hours during the summer. Last year San Antonio had 75 100+ days. This year, SA only had 25 100+ days but my generator didn't come one once to refill the batteries. When Native Solar designed my system to add in the 4000 watts, they included removing my 4800 watt inverter and replacing it with a 15,000 watt inverter. It might be a bit too much inverter BUT I see improvements. I have a sensor (TING) on my electric system that monitors voltage and spikes and brownouts. Before the

  Native Solar did an outstanding job from start to finish! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add solar to their house.

  Sergio from Native came out and did a health check on my system, fixed a few things, got me running on the Generac app, and we did an off grid test. He did a great job! Thank you, Sergio and Native.

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.

  “As a trusted solar company in Texas since 2007, NATiVE Solar has delivered smart,…”

Its website also mentions warranty, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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

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.

• —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.
