    I get them a 1 star rating because 1/2 star is not available. I was lied to from the start. Do not believe when they tell you that you'll get thousands from the government to apply as a down payment in one lump sum. You will get the money. But not all at once. So if you don't have $30,000 laying around. You're payment will go up substantially. They will also tell you that when you over produce, it will be applied as a credit to your power bill. They say it's dollar for dollar. That is also a lie. Your power company will only pay you a very small amount for any power you produce and not use. So

    Bought a 32 panel 12kw system. Installation, pricing, everything was super smooth. Pricing was the most competitive out of 4 quotes I got, about half the price of a Sunpower system. Also got the best panels in the market and my electric savings this year compared to last is about $1800. Buyback is about 9 years on a 25 year system.

    Solar Sme did a good job installing my panels and was done in a timely manner. I just wish that I had more space on my roof that faces south. I am still paying an electric bill but it was cut to less than half.

    Great installers who were incredibly professional and polite. The panels have been working flawlessly for going on 3 years and they have another 27 year warranty on them. I couldn't ask for more.

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.

    Its website also mentions free estimate and licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

    Elsewhere

    • It is also reviewed on Thumbtack. 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 YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest and Facebook. 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.
