    I did thorough research for several months before deciding to install solar panels on my house and initially planned to use Trinity Solar. However, I ended up choosing Tri-State Solar after finding them on HomeAdvisor with good reviews. I spoke with the owner, Matt, who seemed honest and reliable. Everything was clear and in writing on the contract, and customer service was great at first—Matt responded quickly to my questions. Tri-State Solar handled permits and paperwork with the electrical company and the city, but then problems started. They missed deadlines, filed paperwork with errors, a

    I cannot speak to their work because we did not make it that far. This company was recommended by the NYS website. I contacted them for a solar project. They had me submit a $1000 deposit. Everything was smooth until, one of their lenders went bankrupt. I have opt no to proceed with work because I did not want to have my credit pulled again for a new lender and I have other projects. They refuse to refund the $1000 and they charge for a site visit and design etc. No other company charges for that. Stay away, there are better companies out there.

    My panels were very poorly installed, they promised me a one time free removal and reinstalling when I am ready to replace my roof. However, when I called and told them that I am ready to replace my roof, they wanted to charge me $200 per panel (I have 24 panels). I just paid someone else $165 per panel, after removing the panels, the guy showed me so many things that were wrong during the installation.

    Our house's roof needed immediate work after a bad storm. Tesla told us they could respond in 6-10 weeks! Tri State Solar had a team in the day after I called and did an amazing job. I cannot praise them enough!

    We have had solar panels from Tri State for over 6 years now and we haven’t had a single complaint. The service aspect is incredible. More recently, we had to reroof the house so I had the solar company take down the panels and another …

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.

    “today for a discovery session and a free quote. [email protected] Email Us For…”

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp, ConsumerAffairs and 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.
  • It posts on Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
