I bought the land from this company, and after signing the contract, I have questions about the system. I've tried to contact them, but there's no response. I leave messages, but they don't reply, and I've only had them for a month. My land isn't producing what they promised; it's just been empty promises after I signed the contract.

After tax season, speaking to other victims of the false promises and fraudulent misconceptions, and filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau along with all the other disappointed customers. I can honestly say DO NOT GO THROUGH NEXT PHASE OR EVER BRIGHT! They will promise everything, and lead you to believe that your payments will be a certain amount and that you will receive a certain amount of credit from your taxes to apply to keep that certain amount, knowing all along that your tax break is broken up into three years and for so many people, it wasn't even the credit that they were s

They did my solar install which went well. A couple years later I had an inverter issue. 3 emails and 2 calls later. I received 0 help. I eventually fixed the issue myself after doing research.

Very informative and detailed of what you need for your home. The two salesman Carlos Hernandez and Gehrig Ryan almost made it impossible to say no with all the money an energy im saving. Local Businesses bringing back genuine customer service

Next Phase did great on my solar. David made it a smooth process from start to finish. After speaking to my neighbors and hearing their horror stories about their experiences with suntan. I am very happy that I chose Next Phase. If your looking for people with experience go with Next Phase.

I am a small business owner, so I know firsthand how much reviews can impact a company. Because of that, I am careful with both positive and negative reviews. They have to be earned. Next Phase Electric earned this one. Raul and his colleague were a huge help in getting my solar system back online after the roofing company I hired to install a new roof completely mishandled the reinstallation. They quickly understood the problem, corrected the issues, and brought the system back when another company had left it in bad shape. They were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knew what they wer

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.
Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- Google also lists this company under electrical.
- It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau and 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.

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.
