    If this could have been no stars then that's what I would give. Panels are not working and tried to call and text. No answer. Already called a lawyer and from the sound of the discontented prople, it is a scam.

    This company is a straight scam! I've hated everything about agreeing and signing a contract to get solar through this company. It took months to get the panels up and running then we started having issues and now they don't work properly. We can't even monitor them because they have been disconnected from the app for months. We need to have a roof replacement and no one responds to emails, phone calls or texts! The sales guy Joseph lied to us about the tax break, getting negative light bills and all. It's all a scam, Brandi the COO just stopped responding all together and her son Mike, who's

    They have been horrific to work with. They can’t keep an appointment to save their life. They refuse to explain or repair our system and continue to break contract. Our electricity bill is going up not down. We can’t even find a single …

    Choosing The American Power Company for our solar panel installation was a wise investment. Our home is powered by clean energy, and we're thrilled with the results.

    I was concerned about the cost of solar panel installation, but I hired this company for affordable installation services and was pleasantly surprised. They were able to provide quality installation that has saved me money on my energy bills.

    Choosing them proved to be a great decision. Their staff demonstrated professionalism and skill throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final panel installation. As a result, my energy expenditures have fallen dramatically, and I am pleased to be able to help to lowering my carbon footprint.

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.

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 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.
