Review for Planetary Systems, Inc.

Mr. vonBrethorst, and `Planetary Systems Co.`, were contacted and employed to revise, improve, and correct, a previously installed wind/solar power generation system for my home`s use. I had been unhappy with my previous installer`s workmanship, and his knowledge of the business, ever since I moved into my present home. And, my dear wife and I had to suffer through numerous expensive mistakes, caused by his inept installation procedures, over a period of more than three years. But as far as we knew he, our initial wind/solar installer, was the only such individual anywhere near our location!<br /><br />Then sometime late last year my previous installer essentially deserted me! It became impossible to contact him either by phone, or e-mails addressed to his Web site.<br /><br />The feeling of insecurity I then felt, after years of mistakes, sub standard efficiency and doubtful dependability, from the power generation system he installed. And then to be totally and inexplicably abandoned by my him, was almost overpowering.<br /><br /> Then several weeks ago a neighbor friend, who also uses wind/solar power, found Mr. vonBrethorst`s web site and told me of it. I immediately made contact with Mr. vonBrethorst via e-mails. I was impressed almost immediately by his expertise, good suggestions for improvements in my system, and especially his brutally honest, albeit negative, assessment of my previous installer`s inefficient workmanship! His confidence, in how he could vastly improve my system, was inspiring and most welcome also!<br /><br />Numerous e-mails later, and after Mr. vonBrethorst patiently answered many questions I had, I contracted with him to totally revise, correct, and improve my renewable power household energy system. The price was fair and I received a billing invoice, very professionally and completely filled out, in a prompt and timely manner.<br /><br />From the first moments of Mr. vonBrethorst`s, and his assistant`s, arrival I was impressed by them. Whereas my initial installer`s workmanship was a tangle of wires, batteries, sloppily (and apparently incorrectly)connected components, and even gave the appearance of being patched together. This was to be rapidly and completely changed.<br /><br />Mr. vonBrethorst quickly disassembled the mess, which was always of dubious dependability, that had been installed by my first installer. He then installed, meticulously, the new and more efficient components he had suggested. He also rewired, in fact replaced (when/where necessary), almost all the wiring used for the system. And the finished product was neater, safer, vastly more efficient, and immensely more professional in appearance. It also actually used less space, in a more efficient manner than the previous installation!<br /><br />In short, Mr. vonBrethorst, within two work days, improved my system`s efficiency. It`s appearance. The safety and dependablilty of it`s daily operation. And for the first time in close to four years gave me piece of mind. And a feeling of security I had heretofore not been able to enjoy for over three years after my retirement. It was wonderful!<br /><br />I feel it is difficult to describe, the efficiency, expertise, meticulous workmanship, and attention to detail Mr. vonBrethorst brings to the job site. Without using superlatives to describe his knowledge and expertise in this field.<br /><br />My sincere hope is that Mr. vonBrethorst, and his able assistant `Wayne`, enjoy very good health. And don`t decide to close their business anytime in the foreseeable future!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />John Richard<br />Wheatland, Wyoming<br />Some of the above questions were difficult to answer with precision. I have employed two different wind/solar contractors. One the initial installer of the renewable energy power generation system needed for my home. And the second contractor, to repair and improve the poor work of the first one. The questions don`t allow for differentiation between multiple contractors, time factors involved.<br /><br />Secondly, I live on a small ranch located far from any power lines or telephone lines. Hence my only source of power for my home was never in question. It always had to be wind/solar.
