    I’ve had a very disappointing experience with this solar company. The customer service has been extremely poor, with little to no follow-up or meaningful support after installation. More concerning, the solar panel system that was installed is not producing even close to half of the energy my home requires, despite what was promised during the sales process. I’m still paying for electricity at levels that make solar essentially pointless. I’ve reached out multiple times for help or clarification and have received no real solutions. At this point, the whole experience feels misleading and borde

    BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!! Upscale energy is one of those companies that you hear about on tv on how shady and how crummy the work is, I never thought that I would get screwed over and not just myself but my uncle as well, I should’ve seen the red flags when they failed inspection 4 times and caused some damage to the side of my house and now that it slightly rained in my area my roof started to leak but before that I had spoken to the owner and told me for me to call the finance company (which I didn’t think was right) so long story short, he weaseled his way out of that conversation but when i

    Armando from Upscale Energy delivered top-tier customer service. He explained the entire scope of work and which solar system would work best for our business. Very communicative and professional. The process was smooth! The Upscale crew took care of pulling permits promptly. The installation crew was very professional. Exceptional work! We are pleased with the outcome. I'd highly recommend doing business with them.

    They responded to the project in a timely manner. Great customer service. Personnel took the time to explain what the process was gonna be and explained along the way until completion of the job. After he was done he summarized all that was done and located. Thanks. I would recommend and use them in the future.

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

  • communication 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.

  • Warranty

    “range of customizable options, all guaranteed to meet and exceed expectations.”

Elsewhere

  • Google also lists this company under insulation.
  • It posts on Instagram and 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.
