When I ordered solar panels to be installed on my roof in 2023, I went along with Solenergy's promise to install a new roof, which they said I'd get a tax rebate on even as I got a tax rebate on the panels. Absolutely not the truth. The roofer was one Dustin claimed his company had bought. No, it was an independent roofer who skipped town after doing a horrifically bad job on my roof and gutters. It took from spring to November to rectify the situation because of the runaround Dustin at Solenergy gave me. I finally found another roofer on my own and got out of my contract with Solenergy. Then,

Beware of SolEnergy – Deceptive Practices and Fraud I had a terrible experience with SolEnergy. Their sales rep, using SolEnergy branding, promised my solar system would eliminate my power bill, have a 25-year guarantee, and qualify for tax credits. They arranged financing and took full payment a full year before the system was even operational, and when issues arose—such as poor installation and delays—they ignored my concerns. They falsely claimed to be BBB accredited, but they are not. Look it up! They now deny responsibility for their sales rep, despite him using their name and materials.

The team knows their stuff, are polite, professional, and are great problem solvers. We are finally solar (now that we left the state of Misery). It actually is easy being green.

Highly recommend. Cory and Jake were really great to work with. Very good communication. We are very happy to have made the decision to get solar and to use SolEnergy as our installer. We looked at one of the larger companies with high pressure sales tactics, but we felt confident about SolEnergy after meeting with Jake and Cory and prefer to spend our money locally.

SolEnergy recently installed solar panels on my new construction project. Although my builder handled the system selection and permitting details, Jake and his team kept me in the loop, and they were friendly and communicative at every step of the way. Installation went smoothly, and the system is now operating as designed. I look forward to seeing the energy savings in my future electrical bills.

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.
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.

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 found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
- 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.
