Since the earlier communication problem, I have been pleased with the service that Native has provided. Fortunately, I've only had to have a technician out once since purchasing our home in 2017. The tech was friendly, professional, and was able to explain the error with the system as well as how he would correct it. Can't tell you how great the savings have been having solar in Texas. My bill is usually $0.00 for 7month out of the year and I've build up credits during those months. I'm currently happy with this company.

I am very pleased with my Native solar array. Native was able to answer all questions and concerns regarding the array, the tax rebates and what to expect after installation. The Native crew was supportive thru the entire process. Jay was able to size the array correctly from looking at my electric bills and I now feed the grid with no elect bill. :D Thanks Native! Deb

Native did a fantastic job with our 21.78 kW SolarEdge system on a mixed-use building in San Marcos. They managed a City rebate for us as well as an USDA REAP Grant which took the financials from very good to great. Very attentive and diligent crews. System is producing just as projected and the monitoring app and website are really helpful. Highly recommended!

I found out about this company through Green Mountain Energy. I am so glad that I did. They were nothing sort of spectacular. They kept me informed every step of the way. The installers did an outstanding job. Give them a try, you'll be glad you did.
