    Up front very happy, now very disappointed. They had an opening in their schedule and removed my panels from my previous home with very efficient timing, were very professional, and quick. Once to the new location, I discussed with Mark mounting for the panels, inverter, etc. And all seemed well. I sent them the measurements required to get some engineering paperwork and never heard back. Then got told they went on vacation after cashing my check that should've covered more than the work completed this far, was provided no receipt, and after a whole week of waiting to hear back, was told they

    Mark and Rebecca were fantastic to work with - responsive, respectful of social distancing, careful and thorough in work and explaining the process and system.

    I can't make enough positive comments about Waldo. They installed a 10KwH (30 panel) solar system at our house this year (July 2020). Mark and Rebecca make a fantastic team. They clearly know and love the products and solutions they offer. Fast and clear communication. Friendly service. High quality products and installation. Also, they installed in less than a week with essentially no disruption to our lives. We've always wanted solar but have been turned off by the large national vendors with questionable sales tactics. It's great there's a local vendor where you get the benefit and satisfac

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

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.

  • Free estimate

    “a quote Ready to take the next step? Free Quote “ The sun—that power plant in the…”

  • Family owned

    “+ personal approach our small, family-owned solar company offers. About…”

Its website also mentions licence number, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Yelp. 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 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.
