    An associate told me he was on a big job, so he was unable to return my call for 2 weeks. The little guy doesn't matter? Clearly. Then he told me he would have a quote for me the following week. I began this process in August. No contact from this company

    We had some initial doubts about moving forward with Nickels Energy Solutions, but working with Steve and Kevin completely changed our perspective. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and transparent. They took the time to answer all of our questions and walked us through every step of the process, making sure we felt confident in our decision. Steve and Kevin were extremely easy to work with — professional, responsive, and genuinely focused on what was best for us rather than just making a sale. That level of honesty and expertise made all the difference. Eve

    I can’t recommend NES enough. Honestly, solar is a huge investment and a pretty intimidating process, but they did it right. From the very first phone call to the follow-ups after the job was done, the whole team was actually there for us. They didn’t just give us a sales pitch; they gave us real, honest expectations. What I appreciated most was their patience. We went back and forth on the design quite a bit to make sure it hit our goals, and they never made us feel rushed. When we were comparing them to other companies, NES was always the fastest to get back to us, the most organized with on

    I have chosen nickels energy solutions with a friends advise to get solar done for my house and it was the best advise as the workmanship of the team is excellent and they provided guidance at every step . They were available for any queries I have and very prompt in coming back and providing help on any thing we have queries on .

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 and established, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

    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.
    • It posts on LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, 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.
