    To whom it may concern. Please please Before you get into this company think about it twice or more than twice. This company is not what they sell you, totally the opposite. After you get into it and they get you, that’s it. You’ll have to hired a lawyer just like I’m doing right now. DON’T GET INTO THIS COMPANY YOU’LL REGRET IT LATER BIG TIME!

    We have been having issues with one of our panels not getting any charge, and another one at low charge for about a year. We have called many times, they have sent 2 technicians that both said the same thing, the panel was bad and needed changing. The company said they needed to get the warranty for them but nothing has happened. No call back with updates or anything, every time we call they say the same thing, "they are waiting" and they "put a note in the system". Today I am now 2 panels fully down and 2 getting very low charge, still nothing new from them, just the run around as always. I k

    This company will get a sell no matter what. Worst decision I’ve ever made. Now I’m paying a loan on the solar panels, water and sewage, which is basically equal to the same bill I’ve always paid. Thanks for drilling holes in my roof.

    Though Solar Specialists will work with their clients, they will take their time doing it, meaning clients will have to be very patient for them to come through eventually as they did for us. Though it has been a long journey in dealing with this business, and continues as such. We will always be grateful for the owner's time, effort, and great deed in helping with our front roof at his expense. The contract makes reference on the solar business keeping up to date with maintenance, but unfortunately that has not been the case. And because of that, I believe we are continue to pay an electric m

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

    “will work closely with you to explore financing options and craft a customized solar solution…”
  • Years in business

    “OF EXCELLENCE Since our inception over 20 years ago, Solar Specialist has been at the…”

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

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau 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.

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.
