We had our initial solar array installed by Sunlight Solar in 2011, a second in 2014 and recently needed some updating. Each time the office personnel and the people who did the work were responsible, respectful and efficient. I feel very confident in their expertise and appreciate the help we have had over the past 10 years and can recommend them highly.

We recently completed a 21-panel system on our roof. The job included changing our electrical panel to bring it up to date, and the late addition of the "critter guard", as a squirrel nested under our panels almost as soon as it was put in place. Sunlight made the system to our specifications, they did it cleanly and within budget. There were some unavoidable delays, as is often the case, but the professionals at Sunlight distinguished themselves by maintaining communication and transparency during the process. We are pleased with the outcome, and the process was good as well. I would recommend that you have Sunlight look at your project.

Sunlight Solar was very nice to deal with on the install 3 years ago. Two days ago I noticed a 3501 error code on the display. I emailed Sunlight Solar, got an immediate response, and they were over the next day and fixed the issue. (drilled weep holes in a connector box and caulked same) It was covered by warranty. Nathan Braun, Nick Isham and the two masked guys who came over to do the work should all get raises.

I have an old solar system at my house which was installed by the previous owner. The inverter failed and I needed to replace it (prior installer and system manufacturer are all out of business now). I think I called every single solar installer in Portland for help. Sunlight Solar was the only one who was willing to help me with a replacement (everyone else only does new installs and isn't interested in helping with repairs/replacement).

Even though they were busy, Sunlight Solar came out that week and did an assessment and quickly gave me a quote. They ordered a replacement and scheduled the install a few weeks later. Jim and Garrett were awesome, explained everything and answered all my questions. They even did the install without needed to turn off my power which was really important for us because we're all working from home now. Nick, the construction coordinator, was super responsive and answered all my questions and went the extra mile to resolve initial wifi connectivity issues with my new inverter. I was really impressed with their customer support and install services (especially since no other Portland solar company would help me). Thanks Nick & team!

Sunlight Solar was comparable in price to a few other companies, but I chose them because they offered the enphase inverters that I preferred. They were knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. I first contacted them on May 4, and my system is up and running July 1! They were very fast. I think some of the wait has to do with permits, and things being closed because of covid. I would highly recommend Sunlight Solar!

We have had a great experience with Sunlight Solar. They installed our system two years ago. We chose them because they creatively came up with the best design to maximize our roof space for solar production. Everything went smoothly with the install and they continue to provide great customer service when we have questions or concerns. They know their stuff and are great to work with. Highly recommended!

We've been really happy with Sunlight Solar. Nathan (sales) was very knowledgeable and helpful. The process was a bit long because our roof couldn't support the project as originally planned, but Nathan worked with us to design a new project for our garage roof. It's really exciting to have the panels online finally! With financing, this was an affordable way to make a big environmental impact.
