I'll start with the positive. Once finally scheduled, the installation team was very professional completing their tasks earlier than estimated. The assigned project manager (Natasha Wooten Sanford), however, was completely …

The installers at Photon are great as is the equipment they sell, but my experience with the back end support has been nothing short of unacceptable. They tout their staff as one of the reasons to choose them - 25 years of support to go with your warranty, a dedicated staffer to handle the rebate paperwork, a project manager to answer your questions. It was certainly what swayed me, but none of this has come close to living up to their promises. My system was installed 7 months ago and I’ve gotten more assistance from the Tesla chat in the Powerwall app than I have from Photon. For one thing,

I had a solar system consultation today with Lisa Logback. We discussed several options involving my current solar system and came to a mutual agreement on next steps. I have been in discussions with several other solar firms and only Lisa (Photon Brothers) provided me with a depth of expertise to make an informed decision. I applaud her efforts for giving me the best information based on data I provided. Just excellent. Great communicator and asked me great questions in order to develop a very comprehensive plan moving forward. Bravo, Lisa. I recommend Photon Brothers highly.

I worked with Photon Brothers last year to install my solar on my home. I worked with Amir Ahmadi throughout the process and he was great. Answered all my questions patiently and generally assisted me through the process including preparing …

I recently had my solar system installed by Photon Brothers and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Amir was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive and kept me informed every step of the way, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Amir made sure everything was handled quickly and professionally. He answered all my questions promptly (even the ones I thought were small) and really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with every part of the project. If you’re thinking about going solar, do yourself a favor and ask for Amir at Phot

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
- Google also lists this company under electrical.
- It is also reviewed on ConsumerAffairs 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.

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 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.
