Strong Recommendation on Harvest Power

I invited 6 solar companies (3 regional/national companies and 3 local to Long Island) to provide quotes for my residential solar system. The prices were all competitive (this was for an owner purchased system, not leased and no power purchase agreement) but Harvest Power rose above the others due to a relatively pain free sales process and high up front support (they brought in their install team leader and Master Electrician to answer all my questions, and as an Engineer I had a lot of questions). I have now been running for over 6 months and the solar production has exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Harvest Power and will also share what I have learned in my research (and what helped steer me to Harvest):<br />1) Read the fine print and if you don't understand what you are seeing, run it by a lawyer! Some of the solar companies I spoke with had particularly onerous terms and conditions (T&Cs). Harvest had very reasonable, homeowner friendly terms (as of this writing). I got the feeling that they support their installs and don't need to hide behind legal terms that would get them off the hook later if there is a problem.<br />2) As you read through the reviews on this website and others, look out for the fakes. When a local company is showing 3 times the number of reviews of a national company that does substantially more installs, most of the reviews are 4 to 5 stars, and many of the reviews are clustered around specific points in time, beware. Maybe they have an exceptionally high percentage of happy customers motivated to write reviews, or maybe they have a very aggressive Marketing organization.
