What reviewers said

  • 1★ · around August 2024

    It should be a zero. Our solar has not worked since July 17. My husband had called Paul 10 times before he finally picked up. He said he had something to do and would call back. He never did. Same thing with friends of ours but he finally did talk to them. It turned out there was a part that was bad and under warranty so theirs got fixed. Worst company ever. We referred our neighbor and instead of giving us $500 as promised, they just constantly tell you they just put it in the mail. By that time we just wanted to be done with them. But now the faulty equipment and the lack of service! RUN fro

    Our system is not producing any energy since September, and I contacted the installer Slingshot power . It’s been such a bad experience with them , they hardly respond to your calls or messages and haven’t done anything so far which has been productive . Paul dropped in twice at our place , but hasn’t done anything. Our system is under warranty. Would not recommend this company to anyone .

    Update: Paul responded to my review (below) 1 month ago, saying he would follow up. Needless to say, I have not heard from him. This was just a ploy so that readers thing the company is responding. Like many others here, I have been the victim of this company. Been trying to get warranty service on several bad panels for months but no phone call, text or e-mail ever gets a response. As things stand, about 20% of my installation produces no power at all and no one cares.

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.

  • Warranty

    “- Extraordinary 25 Year Production Warranty "Only best products are offered to…”

Its website also mentions years in business, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on HomeAdvisor, Angi and ConsumerAffairs. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

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.
