Its one and two star share is 3 points above the typical installer in Toms River. Across New Jersey, 91 of the 237 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 5 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

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

    Great Program ! From the moment Robert knocked on my door, I felt at ease with their information. Daniel and Justin explained to us our options for our panels, while R5 Construction and Eddie Ivel handled my roof installation. They really made the process seamless. Robert must have done something right because three companies knocked on my door and I choose him. Thank you MyBrilliantSolarExperience, I will refer you to all friends and neighbors !!!

    Stavros with State Solar Initiative made the conversion to solar panels easy and stress free. He ensured the project was completed thoroughly. JCP&L did their best to complicate the transition from their services to the solar panels. Eventually with Stavros’s guidance we were able to get JCP&L to transfer the services.

    We had such a great experience with Daniel Sowinski. He’s so transparent and true to his word. We love every time he stopped by to either check how everything was going or to help us with paperwork. Through Daniel we learned a lot not just about solar, but many other important things. We definitely recommend the switch and most importantly, the opportunity to work with Mr. Sowinski.

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.

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.
