We took the plunge into solar in the summer of 2014. Between falling solar panel prices, federal rebates, and utility incentives it made sense. Both financially and feeling good about producing energy from the sun.<br /><br />We got quotes from a number of companies. We decided on Freedom for a number of reasons. One the only offered us micro inverter systems. These produce more energy, more reliably than something called string systems. Second they used panels made in North America. The panels and inverters had good warranties. They also offered true no interest financing for a year which allows us time to get our federal rebate.<br /><br />Every other company we got quotes from pushed string systems and then when we said no, only foreign panels often from companies that had just started. And per kWh were charging more than Freedom.<br /><br />So the price and panels were good. Then the installers were efficient and pleasant. Reps were always available via email or phone. Output so far in the first two months has met or exceeded projections. Note we are in Oncor service area so not just Austin offers rebates although Oncor can run out of rebate money later in a year.<br /><br />Over all highly recommended you at minimum contact Freedom and I recommend putting them at the top of your list.
