SBS Solar just GLOWS

This expert team handled every angle of my solar project starting immediately when I contacted them. Their strength lies in dedicating knowledgeable people to each step, or task, involved in the process. Quick response initially, and for all subsequent questions and projects. Excellent communication from day one and as the project progressed. Required paperwork and permits were handled by SBS staff, with minimum time involvement on my part, and they were able to achieve an incredibly quick turnaround time. SBS got to the install 3 weeks BEFORE scheduled. All staff is friendly and approachable. I really appreciate all their hard work and so happy to have my system up and running!

We're very pleased!

We used SBS Solar for our solar installation. From design through installation and go live the process was seamless. We were well informed, updated on progress and now the final result is as promised. We received our first bill from Northwestern Energy and we out produced utilization in the month of April. Given the current agenda of power generation by Northwestern Energy in our state which is doubling down on coal and natural gas along with promises of significant rate increase coupled with the current 30% federal tax credit we couldn't be happier in our decision to go solar. Based on current energy costs I believe the break even point will be around 7 1/2 years but with planned rate increases I suspect the time line will be shorter. With a 30 year warranty on the panels, 25 yrs on the optimizers and 12 yrs on the inverter it seems like a no brainer. Special thanks goes out to Josh, Ralph, Suzie, Flynt, Ty and everyone else who helped us out!

Fantastic People

We had a great experience working with SBS Solar from the initial estimate, to all the questions we kept asking, to install. Everyone, through the process, was easy to work with. We are happy with the whole experience.

SBS did a great job. Once they started on the project, it went very quickly and with no serious problems. It took a while to get the wifi module working with our wifi, but they got that done and I am having fun monitoring. Everyone at SBS was proactive in reaching out to me about the next step and they made the permitting process as easy as can be. Overall, they are an efficient and friendly group and I am completely happy with the system and the service at this point. Thanks, SBS!

Great Client Service

They always answered my questions quickly and they were happy to work with us to help us figure out financing. They have the process well put together and they made getting the net metering agreement from Northwestern Energy easy. I can't say enough good things about their installation crew. Always made time to talk with me about what they were doing and the did their work fast. You won't regret choosing SBS Solar.

SBS Solar Home Installation

It’s hard to find enough good things to say about SBS. They were communicative, on time, efficient and pleasant. The workers cleaned up after themselves, patiently explained things and obviously knew what they were doing. It was great to have them deal with all the permits and paperwork as well as the installation.

SBS Solar is top notch!

I highly recommend SBS Solar! Over the past year, I was part of a team at Missoula 1st United Methodist Church that worked with SBS to install solar panels atop our 100-year-old building. Everyone at SBS was so generous with their time and expertise, patient with our many questions, and knowledgeable about all things solar and fundraising and grant-writing. We could not have done this project without the great crew at SBS Solar! Many, many thanks to general manager Ralph Walters, Suzie Gerlinger and Jaime Rauch in the SBS office, and the amazing installation crew who spent a week at the church, installing the 66-panel array. And they continue to monitor and tweak the system -- and to answer our questions. We're generating electricity with the sun, and are very grateful to SBS Solar for helping us do the right thing to help Missoula reach 100% clean electricity! Thank you!

Professional and competitive

I shopped around and got four or five quotes. SBS had the lowest cost, the soonest install, and a great estimate of electric coverage for the planned panels. The install took two mornings and the rest was waiting on energy provider to get the rest setup. Everything was taken care of for me and I just had to be available to let people onto the property. Friendly, professional, and good quality (so far). They even set me up with an app to monitor the production of the panels :D
