    Waste of effort. Missed my appointment time due to business constraints. He charge me 360$ for a missed appointment. Pure desperation! 3 days into it he threatened me with being overdue. Save your money, save your precious time. This guy is an absolute waste and a joke! This company has no concept of ethics or morales and is out to take you for everything you worked hard for.i wish I’d have never called him. And he has the nerve to say that he would be willing to look at my equipment through online video. This guy is the worst of the worst. Go with someone with morales and ethics and and willi

    Experienced poor communication with multiple email and calls ignored. The off-grid system’s inverter was undersized, the inverter was wired improperly, and ultimately the entire system suffered from poor engineering. Wanted all the money up front so had to pay in advance, even though job was not completed. So Caveat Emptor. If you want to prepay in advance, with equipment installed but not producing solar power, with no assistance on how to finish-as you are left holding the bag, or should I say panel, then this contractor is for you!

    I had a very poor experience w/ Renewable Energy Outfitters and do not recommend their services. Ultimately, the system commissioning and interconnection / grid connection process with Xcel was never completed by Aaron w/ REO. Furthermore, the equipment detailed in the final quote did not match what was actually installed. REO completed the physical installation of a residential 5.2kw energy system in July of 2024. However, the Xcel grid connection wasn’t completed until April of 2025. So for 10 months the panels were not generating electricity / all this energy was wasted as there was no grid

    We would highly recommend Aaron and Renewable Energy Outfitters. We would give more stars if possible. Aaron is highly knowledgeable and created an awesome off grid solar system for us a few years back. We recently had an issue with our MidNite Classic unit, Aaron worked directly with the company to get us a new unit, and installed it in a very timely manner. Thanks again Aaron for everything you’ve done for us.

    Aaron did a great job installing our system in a challenging location. Very happy with the installation, attention to detail, and service. Highly recommended.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • money 2

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

    Elsewhere

    • Google also lists this company under roofing. A company that does both roofing and solar can handle the roof work a panel install often needs.
    • It posts on X and Instagram. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

    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.

    Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
