    Are they still in business? I've left three phone messages and two emails over two weeks and zero response.

    It’s been over 5 years we got it installed by them. Got issues with solar twice. Each time they refuse to answer emails, calls. Stuck with extremely poor quality of people. Can’t go elsewhere coz most operators don’t want to negate warranty

    Please stay away from them. They shady, over prised, and unprofessional. Look somewhere else if you want things to get done.

    I would highly recommend this company. From Jeremy during the sales cycle to Michael and his team during setup, they were very professional and easy to work with. They did a fantastic job listening and worked with us on changes and modifications. We are very pleased with the work they did!

    This company is Simply.The.Best. From start to finish. They care, they want to do things well, and they handle the whole process, from soup to nuts, smoothly. And they are human beings with dedication to solar power in their blood. You won’t go wrong with PowerOn!

    Making a decision about solar is difficult and complicated. There is a lot at stake considering the system will last for decades and is not inexpensive no matter how it is funded. Power On solar was the 3rd company I spoke with about the decision to move forward. They were knowledgeable and authentic about the various approaches to a home solar setup. I appreciated that there was no pressure to move forward and all my questions were quickly and thoroughly answered. I ended up contracting with Power On solar and I have no regrets.

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

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.

  • Established

    “the community every step of the way. Since 2014, Power On Solar has given over…”

  • Years in business

    “A SOLAR PROFESSIONAL HVAC Trane is more than 100 years old with a history of introducing…”

Its website also mentions licence number, 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 Facebook and Instagram. 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.
