  I have had an excellent experience with Kevin Bergeren handling my Solar project for my house in Banner Elk. Kevin sold me on the project with his complete honesty and desire to keep me totally satisfied by demanding excellence in completion of details involved. He was wonderful to coordinate with and I am amazed with and respect his knowledge and ability. All of those with whom he collaborated, from obtaining the bank loan, to getting the proper material delivered to my house, to selecting and scheduling the actual installation crew, and following through all the way to handling the paperwork

  I found this gentleman on Yelp!, and he didn’t waste any time. He listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, and the project was green lighted. His crew installed the system I wanted without any problems. Highly recommend for people new to solar!

  I spoke with Mr Kevin. He was honest about whether it would be an investment to buy a battery for my solar system and gave detailed explanations to why. Though our conversation he was obviously intrinsically knowledgable to the working of solar panels on my home and the questions I had. He knows how the different electrical companies subject to solar on the home. I wish I had used this company for my solar!!!

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.

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

• Family owned

  “to finish is above amazing! This is a family owned business and Raquel and Kevin are two…”

Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

• It posts on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.

• —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.
• —Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Angier is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
• —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.
