Solar Source

Each mark is one company we hold in the Sarasota area whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Solar Source is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

  Thanks for the solar panels. Solar source has not sent anyone out for the leak problem which I contacted them about 10 months ago. No assistance or support has been provided. Insurance company said one area under solar panel needs repair. No tarp services provided by Solar Source. I have called for a few days and no response. Management has never contacted me.

  Extremely pleased with Joshua’s technical support, but I have paid for multiple repairs since installing the new system and reinstalling since February 2024. This is the third visit this year. Added to the faulty equipment and frequent repairs, I now have to manually turn the flow of water on and off. You’d think Solar Source would grant me some latitude on your charges given the lemon system you installed, but NOOO!! I’ll be sure to leave posts concerning your faulty equipment and excessive charges. I’ll never do business with Solar Source ever again.

  Took almost one year for solar and battery backup to be operational- many Solar Source mistakes and delays along the way. Their Tampa operations are dysfunctional.

  Solar Source does good work, and the tech Mike was excellent.

  Their service continues to be outstanding we developed a minor problem with the system it was fixed shortly after the part was received from the manufacturer.

  Everything was installed on schedule and according to understood specifications. Very professional organization! Bryan Hammond goes above and beyond!!

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.

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

• 24/7 availability

  “anywhere in Florida. We offer 24/7 customer support to handle any…”

• Established

  “in lower energy costs today. Leaders Since 1984, Solar Source has led the way for…”

• Insured

  “to test for advanced positions. Insured for your protection. We are covered…”

• Licensed

  “Founded in 1984, Solar Source is a licensed solar contractor specializing in…”

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

• 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, Instagram, X and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

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.

• —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.
