Exceptional Installer/Contractor!

We bumped into Solar Ray's owner Mike Brown purely by chance at the Hurricane Expo earlier this year and after just a few minutes discussing options I realized just how knowledgeable this person was and ended up finding it hard to leave their booth. But we did get a rough quote that seemed manageable and helped us start to give serious consideration to doing a project. I had been thinking about installing a solar pv system but not giving it serious consideration until my wife and ultimately my desire to be good citizens of our green planet forced me to find Mike's card and get one of his sales staff to stop by and formalize a quote. I hadn't done much research, but after Kevin our salesman came well prepared with satellite photos of our home and recommended configuration along with what sounded like a very fair price, we signed a contract.<br /><br />After committing to doing the project, I felt obligated to do some due diligence, although I felt very comfortable after our meeting Kevin that these guys were focused on providing the very best in Solar Power systems and had significant installation history with both commercial and residential installs, and some very large ones to support our decision. Plus, and I will emphasize this, their only business is solar, unlike the many electrical or plumbing or pool contractors who do water heaters/pool heaters regularly but power as a sideline. I did several quotes after researching the most reputable firms and Solar Ray was the most competitive of them all!<br /><br />The project was done on time, all paperwork, permits, communication with Utilities,etc. handled by Solar Ray. Crew was absolutely the "BEST"!!!! They were on time, got my feedback to options for the installation location and answered every question I had and more. I am a very detail oriented individual and can be very critical of others work, but the Solar Ray crew exceeded my expectations! They clearly were extremely critical of their own work and I felt my project was in good hands and indeed the finished product was top notch! The city electrical inspector visited and was extremely impressed, commented several times how great the job had been done, and that this is the way they all should be installed. He even took photos.<br /><br />So... we were up and running online 9/12/15 and anxiously waiting for our first electric bill... September wasn't the best month weather wise and we were online for just a part of the month... But our bill came and we owed only $84 for a month that would have cost us $191 and was a "peak" month for usage. Expect to owe close to nothing for October when total usage starts to drop with cooler temps and better weather. I am very pleased with the results without even seeing a full month of production.<br /><br />If you are considering installing Solar Power, based on my experience, your best choice for sales and installation is clearly Solar Ray!
