    We had southern coker install 24 panels at our home in Charleston about 2 years ago. We were happy with the installation and at first there were no issues. After the first year of the panels being active, we realized they weren't producing the promised capacity per our contract. We attempted to reach southern coker via phone and email and haven't been able to get in touch with them. Recently, four of the panels stopped working completely! Again, we have tried to call and email and have been so frustrated not to hear back. Be warned!

    Extremely Disappointed – Poor Workmanship, Overcharges, and Ongoing Neglect Our experience with Southern Cocker Solar has been deeply disappointing and frustrating. We hired them to install a solar system in September 2022, but the problems began immediately and have yet to be resolved years later. During installation, one of their technicians fell through our dining room ceiling. They also damaged the roof on our garage by not properly installing screws into the roof correctly and we had to tarp the roof for weeks due to water leaking. When we did get them to returned to "repair" it, they use

    Company sent 2 representatives to evaluate our solar issue. We waited for estimate which was never received and all attempts to contact them for it were ignored. Also, when they came out to inspect system 1 of 3 panels was working but when they left nothing worked. We hired another company whose one technician had us up and running in under 2 days.

    Update***the owner contacted me and their financial dept provided info related to this fraud charge. We were able to file the right documents and the corrections are in the process to reflect in my credit reports. Note to self from this experience #1 check credit routinely and #2 be careful with personal information. Unresponsive. Credit report showing loan from SoCo Power that is not mine. I’ve called and reached out on social sites and emailed but no contact back to resolve this. I’m suspicious there’s some shady financial things with this company. In 2022 I did a pre-approval quote for sola

    Cody was great to work with help every way possible if you’re going, Solar definitely choose this company and work with you every step of the way.

    This company is outstanding. They went out of their way helping us with repairs after the company we purchased unit from went bankrupt. Worked with several employees and all were knowledgeable and professional. We have set up with them to handle all future needs. You cannot go wrong calling this company.

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. 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.

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.
