Worst financial mistake I ever made. The rep who sold us the solar used a selling point that we would get 14,000 back from our taxes if we purchased solar through them using the HERO program. When I did my taxes and found out that wasn't true, I asked our rep about it and her response was "well, I am not a tax expert" She also told me our system was offline but it most likely was a wifi error and would correct itself and I ended up with a $5000 electricity bill. This system would have cost me $100,000 if I kept my house for the length of the contract, but I sold my house (and the solar added n

William showed up on time and did a great job. There were issues and he took care of everything.

I recently contacted ParagonSun to resolve an issue with my Enphase inverters that had gone offline. The team was professional throughout the entire process and arrived exactly when they said they would. They identified the problem and successfully returned my system to service. It is a relief to have everything working correctly again. Based on my experience, I find ParagonSun reliable, very professional, and refreshingly trustworthy, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs quality solar service and professional workmanship.

Could not recommend Cori and her team more! Did a fantastic job handling the swap of my Enphase Gen3 battery system for a Gen4, including managing completely off the script anomalies that the utility invented for my case. Extremely knowledgeable about the products, the process and nuances. Super friendly and great communication at every stage. They even were willing to put up with and touch up an existing solar installation, where lots of others ghosted once I'd mentioned it.

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 warranty and better business bureau, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- 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.
- It posts on Instagram 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.

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.
