    Tried to get on contact to install a Tesla wall charger after 4 weeks they finally got back to me and rescheduled multiple times and made me wait a few hours before I contacted them regarding where they were at. At which they responded they meant to call me that they couldn't make it out because they were at home due to a sick child . Went to another company to install my tesla wall charger and it works great. If you like getting screwed around this is your place.

    Everyone at Nelnet was super patient with the solar installation process, from the initial quote to the final activation. They had a great price and service was top notch all the way through. The installers were awesome, answered all of my annoying questions throughout the install, and did fantastic work. Super happy with the results and excited to see power being generated back into the grid already in January!

    We had an incredible experience with GRNE. We installed a full solar system including 2 Tesla Powerwall's. From the very beginning the communication with Ryan was excellent. Once it was passed on to the install team the communication remained excellent. We were kept in the loop during each step of the process. We never once wondered what was going on or what was next. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly during the install. Thank you Ryan, Eric, Matt, and the rest of the team for doing a great job! I also want to mention that LES was super responsive and definitely pro solar.

    We recently moved forward with a solar project with GRNE. The whole process took about 4 months from initial proposal to final hookup. After extensive research and gathering numerous quotes, I decided to work with GRNE Solar. Right from the onset, GRNE demonstrated expertise. Ryan, one of their project managers, showed utmost professionalism and worked closely with me to formulate an energy design that optimized solar offset for our home while also being the most cost-effective solution. One thing that stood out was GRNE’s excellent customer service. Every query was promptly answered with pert

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

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. 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.

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.
