What reviewers said

    Patrick and his team did a great job. Patrick was great at communicating with me and it didn’t feel like he was trying to oversell me. I got a bid from a different local company that wanted a lot more for the same service. Glad I went with Sunbolt!

    I selected Sunbolt Solar after getting bids from several local solar companies and I am positive I made the best choice. Patrick is honest, helpful, goes above and beyond and was priced right. The solar panels look great and are performing excellent! Bravo!

    Sunboldt Solar was extremely helpful in helping me review my options... I met with Patrick and we discussed the benefits of microinverters and high efficiency panels. Their warranties are unparralled, and their value is unmatched. I look forward to continue to work with them and see my install to fruition.

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • company 2
  • staff 2
  • bid 2

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.

  • Years in business

    “and C-46 Solar Contractor with over 12 years of experience in the renewable energy…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, family owned, licensed 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.

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.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
