Among the three or four five-star solar companies that I approached for panel-installation cost estimates, Solar Energy World (SEW) quickly impressed me as the company to go to. Here are the reasons: After looking at the roofs, the representative of the company, Sean, recommended that we put the panels on the south-facing roof. That was a pleasant surprise to me because all other companies had proposed to put the panels on the larger, west-facing roof. Obviously, the south-facing roof will receive more sun light on average, everything else being equal, and in our case, there would also be no need to relocate some of the roof vents. Sean next proposed to use the more efficient 310-watt panels; this would reduce the number of panels compared to the more commonly used 285 watt panels for roughly the same total solar power output. And even more important, SEW offered the most attractive price and payment schedule and excellent work and product warranties. Sean also patiently addressed many of my questions and concerns prior to the panel installation.<br /><br />The people who came to inspect and measure the roof were all very helpful in explaining what they were doing and for what purposes. The panel placement design was logical and aesthetic. The folks who did the installation were all very courteous and professional. The wiring was all clean and neat and well hidden. About a month after the installation, I noticed a hole (less than 1 in) on my ceiling. I contacted SEW. Two days later, the hole was patched and painted (I provided the paint). I can't even tell where the hole was now. The company also handled all the permit applications expeditiously. I am now enjoying solar electricity to help reducing CO2 emissions. Frankly, I can't be more pleased by going with Solar Energy World, and will have no hesitation in recommending the company to other interested consumers.
