What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around August 2025 · the company replied

    My first installation with Rich and solar4u was in 07/2012. He installed 30 solar panels. This reduced my electric bill by more than half. This year I put on a new roof. Rich removed the panels, updated the 30 inverters and installed 10 additional larger panels. My first electric bill was for $50 and this was not for a full month with 2 large air conditioners running almost continuously. I have. 3700 sq. ft. with mostly single pane windows. I am very happy with Rich and his company. There is also a 25 year warranty on the panels and inverters. I recommend Rich.

    Solar Energy Systems and Service is absolutely a great company to get your Solar Panel system from. I have had my system now for about 10 years and it has been phenomenal for me. My Energy bill is very low and the system has only been down once for a very minor issue during this time. Rich is great to work with and I would give my recommendations to purchase and install through his company. Again there is nothing else to say other than you will not be displeased with this companies product or professionalism when you make the decision to go Solar.

    Absolutely Rich knows what he’s talking about and provides honest and reliable service. It’s been 8 years since his team installed solar panels on our home. They have paid for themselves in energy savings. The installation was done right, surviving both recent hurricanes with zero damage. Rich continues to monitor our system and answers my occasional emails promptly.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • solar panel system 4

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.

  • Financing

    “efficiently for decades. 7. Are there financing options or tax credits? Yes! We’ll help you…”

  • Insured

    “since 1996 as a fully licensed and insured solar contracting company. We…”

  • Licensed

    “served Florida since 1996 as a fully licensed and insured solar contracting…”

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

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. 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, X 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.
