    We were in talks with Nova Solar for a number of months and finally decided to proceed with the project. They sent us a contract for about $39k. When we read it, they had some dubious terms in there, like forcing us to use them to replace our roofing if we needed to. When speaking to the operations manager, Barklie Eestes, his attitude was one of arrogance and jest. We reached out to him for over a week to get the agreement signed and move the project forward. They then went ahead and sent a contract for the same exact system for nearly $50k. Something their office manager confirmed, "should n

    Nova Solar stands out from the competition. Jake quickly scheduled an appointment to follow up and answer our questions. He was well prepared for out meeting, explained various details about the equipment and processes with helpful examples and photographs, presented requested options for our estimate, and was a consummate professional.

    Working with Nova Solar has been a great experience. They are the most communicative company I have ever worked with. They have kept me informed every step of the process, and when the installation was complete, they provided me with very detailed and organized installation material, to include pictures, documents, and video. The installation was professional and clean. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend them!

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.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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.
