Report
The whole process took too long. They didn't communicate with our local utilities company well and we are not able to use the installed panels for a few months before getting approval. The rep promised to talk to her boss to compensate our loss, but disappeared afterwards. The production is way below what's designed for (~60%). Really disappointed!

Service, no games or tricks, not attempting to increase the price after signing the contract, as meny do. On the contrary, I received better panels then I signed up for. Work was done on time, as agreed upon.

Put $40,000 worth of panels on my roof. 1 year later 2 panels are broken. Tech comes out and don't hear from them again. Call them out again, we have no record of your service call from January. I assumed panels are ordered and waiting on the new panels, no they didn't order anything or submit my warranty claim. So another tech comes out 3rd one fix the problem with electrical that they messed up during install and charge me $750.00. Tech takes 2 panels off roof that are broken and sits them in my garage, he quit and nobody bothered to start warranty claim again.
So I sit with underperforming system that I've been waiting since January to be fixed. Now they want me to call and give them the info from the panels so they can supposedly start the work to replace my 2 panels. Can't ever get ahold of anyone. Csr said she emailed entire company and not 1 call back. Stay away use someone else for your solar work
