Its one and two star share is 3 points above the typical installer in Charleston. Across South Carolina, 44 of the 101 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.
The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 49 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Ordered by the share of one and two star reviews, weighted by how many reviews stand behind it. It ranks review records, not workmanship.

This company is horrible. Their communication is horrible. Their service is horrible. My solar panels were installed at the beginning of August and it’s now Oct 17 and the system is not yet working

Pains me to write this. Had a mostly pleasnt and easy experience with SCSP, until I didn't. Chose SCSP over 4 other options because I felt confident in the product and the people. Fairly seemless process and felt like I made the right choice. Then... It rained. It rained a lot. Had a small leak in my home directly under the installed panels. Upon entering the attic to track it down - discovered that I had in addition to 2 leaks under the panels, I had several leaks in various places that had obviously been there for a long time PRIOR to my solar install, but for whatever reason, never actually

Set an appointment at 9am. At 9am they cancel the appointment over an email, no call no show, because they say my income isn't hi enough without knowing my income.

they go above and beyond to install and maintain and monitor the system and have superior customer service should you have any issues.

Competitive pricing, and great service. I've had my panels for years at this point and they are working well. When an inverter failed a year or so ago they contacted me and then replaced it. I highly recommend this company.

George, Tim, and Nikki provide excellent customer care. Their depth of knowledge, willingness to educate us, and then re-educate us, is paired with their kindness, attentiveness and patience. We are still working with these folks to adjust our settings to maximize our savings and are thankful for their partnership in this endeavor.

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.
Family owned
“advise, activate and maintain. Family-owned and operated, SCSP leverages 30+…”
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on Angi 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 LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. 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.
