    I would give them a 0 is I could. (0 days ago I booked a remove and replace contract with solar technologies. I needed a new roof and the solar needed to come off. Sarah is the nicest and great worker has been my only contact and she is not a technician. I requested a pre site visit to review the job and draw up plans and I was told it is billable. So no pre site visit was ever completed. So removal went well. Install is a disaster. We are now 5 days in and I have no working system. I had 2 inverters and wanted to go to one. I was told the Tesla inverter could do that. Today the team removed m

    Disappointing … while our system was still under its warranty by the original installer, approx 10 panels stopped functioning properly. We reached out to original installer, SkyPower Solar, only to learn that SkyPower was acquired by Solar …

    This company started off okay, however during their inspection they made a mis calculation of what needed to be done in order to get a permit for the solar. We had a transfer switch so we could use our generator when the power goes out during blackouts and other unforeseen instances. This mis calculation cost us 12 months of no solar usage and we had to have an outside company to fix the problem so we could get a permit to operate. We did not receive any discount for the inconvenience and this took a lot of our time to get the final approval to operate. We paid our final bill and heard cricket

    Our solar installation got delayed by almost a year due to Covid. That's totally understandable but it would have been good to get occasional updates on the status of the contract, rather than radio silence. Even when the work started, …

    Javier and Joshua were very professional, and let me know what to expect and what they needed from me to complete our solar upgrade. When finished, they summarized everything I’d need to know moving forward. Later I received an emailed report detailing what was done, including many before, during and after photos. I’ve been impressed with Solar Technologies every step of the way.

    I have been working with Sarah on a removal and replacement of my 28 solar panels. We scheduled it 2 months ago. The team started the removal on Tuesday but had to leave after 3 panels die to very high winds. I have a 2nd story steep slope roof so is was not safe for the crew. Sarah was very professional rescheduled a crew for Wednesday. Of course it was pouring when they arrived but the wind was not a factor. They removed the 28 panels but had to leave the roof mounts in. If removed I would have leaks all over my 2nd story of my house. Daddario roofing is scheduled for Monday to remove the ro

    Just had solar panels reinstalled by Solar Technology. They were excellent to work with. Manny and Joshua did a great job not only doing the actual work but also explaining what they did. Sara did the coordinating and was a very …

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.

  • Established

    “1,000 commercial projects completed since 1998. Design-Build Expertise Seamless…”
  • Years in business

    “for clean energy solutions. With more than 25 years of experience, thousands of…”

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

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. 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, X, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
