Horrible customer service no one get back to you no one will solve your problems

They're a scam. They paint a pretty picture at first to get you to agree, and then chaos ensues. I think I should have canceled the contract after my first bad experience with them. First, they left me without power for three days, something they never warned me would take so long. Then, they told me I'd pay $180 a month, which is a lie because my bill came to $199. Next, they said they'd help me resolve the issue of buying back unused energy, but to this day I haven't found a company that does that in my state. I've written to Erick and the other people, and they never helped me. They just to

WARNING STAY AWAY: This company brought diffrent pannals than what was in contract. They installed panels on the wrong side of my roof. Once I let the installation crew and the rep, they stopped left equipment in my garage and back yard. They left never emailed, called me or left voice mail, 2 weeks later after calling daily to get status, texting and calling rep,and getting run around I canceled.

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 ConsumerAffairs. 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 Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Facebook. 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.
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.
