8MSolar

I recently had my solar system installed by 8M Solar, and I’m very happy with the entire experience. Their work was extremely accurate, clean, and professional—even after the installation, everything looked well-finished and tidy. A special mention goes to Rana, my project coordinator, who was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the process. He patiently answered all my questions and guided me through every step, including helping revise the system design when my HOA didn’t approve panels on the front side of my house. Even though this change reduced my generation capacity by about 30%, 8M Solar supported me fully and found the best possible alternative. Overall, I highly recommend 8M Solar for their technical expertise, attention to detail, and customer-focused service.

Great company with great service I had a very good experience with sales team and the install. I would recommend this company

I recently had a 15.13 kW solar system and Tesla Powerwall installed. Their coordination was flawless, keeping me updated every step of the way. The pricing was very fair for the high quality of components and service provided. What really stood out was their service and support - they are professional, knowledgeable, and clearly care about their customers. Highly recommended for anyone in North Carolina. Coordination: Exceptional, the timeline was clear and strictly followed. Price: Very competitive, provided great value for the system size. Quality: The installation is clean, and the equipment is performing perfectly. Service: The crew was professional, polite, and left the site spotless. Support: Prompt responses to all my follow-up technical queries. Special appreciation to Aaron, Brett, Usman, Bryce, Rana, Shahzaib, Ahsan, Affan for your time and effort.

We had an exceptionally positive experience with 8MSolar. I shopped around to 6-8 other providers in the area before selecting them and I'm very glad I did. Extremely fine communications and follow-through and obviously really good people. They worked on a tight timeline (my fault) to get our system installed before the end of the year so we could still receive the Federal tax incentives. Installation with smooth and professional. I highly recommend 8MSolar!

I am very happy that I chose 8 AM for our solar project. Everything was seamless and well coordinated from my initial contact and information gathering, to sales, to site inspection and documentation through to installation. They were prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend 8M!

they were on time, and installed what the designers had told me. They did all the work with Duke and Wake County.

So far, everything has been going very well. The work has been followed up very carefully, and the process is moving forward exactly as planned. Thank you

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I don't know if any company is worse, or any better. These people fail to follow up on many aspects of the transaction. It appears that they could care less about anything other than collecting payment. They miscalculated our needs by nearly 1/2 resulting in our still having a significant Utility bill (while having promised me a net-zero bill... their words) . They not once had a Licensed Electrician on site. When you call them out on being dissatisfied, they threaten to walk away from the project (once they've already received a portion of payment). And threatened to cancel our applications with the Utility resulting in complete Solar reapplication process. The installers did a great job, but they were not employees (as promised). We simply had a horrible experience with these people.

Excellent all round. From the Salesperson who explained everything and helped us sign up for Solar and Battery Wall so easily, with Financing. The Installation arrangements and execution were also perfect - everything was arranged perfectly. And on top of everything, 8M Solar were the most affordable of all Solar estimates we received. All round A++.

I am so excited about the savings my solar system is having on my electricity bill! I selected solar for the environmental concerns but also to help with my very high electricity charges and this system turned out to be better than I had hoped! Just wish I had done this much earlier, the cost benefits are outstanding.

8m was ready to work with and did a great job on our recent solar installation. They submitted all the required information to the power company and made everything seamless. I would definitely recommend them based on price and service.

For years I have been watching the Solar panel market. Duke has a program and they work with established and approved companies like 8MSolar. From the first zoom call with Brett where we discussed the options with NO pressure or anyone requiring my husband to be sitting at the kitchen table with me. (Big bonus there) He answered all my questions, explained the process and from there, it went beautifully. Engineers developed the plan, all within the parameters of what was required by Duke, the county and our electrical needs. The plans were excellent and easy to understand. They let me know all the parameters of how much space I would need for my Tesla Power wall 3, they gave me the timelines, they filed all the paperwork. Once I was approved for the Duke rebate of 9K and the Tesla power pair program, (which puts money back into my bill each month), Everything was a go. They were very communicative and always took my calls and answered all my questions. Aaron, Ashan and Affan handled the project and hands on customer service. On the day before, they delivered all the equipment and let me know all the steps. The crew arrived an hour before and began setting up. Gavin who was in charge of the team, did a great job and they finished it the same day. I had the panels installed, a Telsa Powerwall 3 with its own inverter which allows your power to STAY in your home and not go to Duke, so you have all your power at night, (unless YOU choose to share which gives you money back). I also got a EV charger installed and all the circuitry required for everything to work (240Volts etc.) everything. It works seamlessly and the cost will be zero in 4ish years because of the rebates offered till the end of this year and the power sharing option I chose) Dukes rebate and the 30% federal tax credit. I installed an electric Hybrid water heater (which ROCKS) and that has eliminated my need of gas and except for my heating system I have zero reliance on Piedmont. I am working on that. The products they offer, are top of the line and you can pick from several configurations and brands. I cannot recommend this company highly enough!, they arranged everything from the Mecklenburg county inspectors, permits, made sure I had all my paperwork done for the rebates, The team sent me easy to understand instructions, and at the end of the day, as the end user, I have an app and a few buttons to press. There is still Duke money available for the rebate, and as long as you start the project this year I think you can still benefit from all the offers. If you have been holding off, call 8Msolar. It does take a few months all in. Best money I ever spent. :)

The entire team at 8MSolar has been great to work with for our solar install. A very smooth experience from sales to permit, to Duke incentive/application, HOA application, installation, and finally, a final follow-up inspection to ensure their client was familiar with the entire system and its process inside and out. The team is well-versed in their knowledge to help out their clients. I am very pleased to have received the referral from a friend about 8MSolar. Overall, very pleasant experience with the entire team. Will definitely recommend 8MSolar to friends and family and use them for my other properties.

I obtained 3 estimates, given the size of the project, and 8MSolar provided the most competitive price for installing my solar panel + battery system. They clearly explained the various steps and punctually followed up when needed to obtain and process the documentation needed. All steps took place in a timely manner, and the system was installed about 2 and a half months after I first contacted them. By using the net metering bridge (NMB) tariff and allowing Duke to occasionally tap my battery I expect this will bring my electricity bill to zero, and when I factor in the Duke and federal incentives (that sadly will be discontinued at end 2025) I calculate a 7 year payback period, for a system that should last 25+ years. I would heartily recommend the 8MSolar team for their courtesy, efficiency and professionalism

We got Solar and Power Backup Installation for our house through 8MSolar. The installation process went very smoothly...the entire job was done professionally and we just could not have been any happier. Thank you to all the crew at 8MSolar...we will certainly recommend your company to others. Thank you, again for a job well done!

The installation was ok, quick but problematic to find the time. The system works ok, but the reporting function loses connection to the internet repeatedly and does not reconnect. I find this frustrating since every other device I have connected does that. They apologize but don't seem to have much sympathy for a person having to stand outside in the blazing heat. At least I can use my phone to do it and not have to go outside. THe other big issue I had was them telling me critter guards were not necessary. However Pigeons got under my panels and made a mess, Get the critter guards

Great company to work with to get solar panels! Sales answered all my questions and concerns. They were very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Install went much faster than I expected. Be prepared to wait to turn on the system though! Anticipation was killing me once everything was installed but was well worth it. Highly recommend 8MSolar!

We are very happy with the solar system that 8M Solar installed for us. The system is working perfectly. Because the company had a number of projects pending it took some time before our system was installed. However, the company was always responsive when we had questions about the installation process. They also made it painless for us--handling all the necessary interactions with the city and county. Mr. Rana Mahmood, Hamza Khan and Atiq Rehman we excellent providing customer service. Thank you for all the help. Thanks

I would not recommend them. They do not have enough experience to recognize that my breaker panel was incompatible with solar. Only after they had already paid money to Duke Energy and drew up plans, did they have an electrician look at the photos. Then they realized they needed to charge $1700 more to replace my entire electrical panel. The costs for solar are already absurd and the payback is near impossible, so adding another $1700 to the cost was unreasonable. If someone with any experience looked at the photos in advance, they would have immediately recognized that it could not be done. 8m has refused to fully refund my down payment. I am still fighting over the remaining $250. They should fully refund what I paid since they made the mistake of not having an electrician look at the photos of my house before applying to Duke Energy.

I want to share my disappointing experience with 8M Solar to warn potential customers about their questionable business practices and lack of commitment to honoring agreements. I signed my contract with 8M Solar on September 24, 2024, after securing all necessary approvals from my HOA and Duke Energy’s rebate program. My installation was originally scheduled for late October 2024. However, on October 17, 2024, they informed me that the Powerwall was unavailable and asked me to proceed with a partial installation while paying for it in advance. I declined, as I wanted the entire system installed at once. I agreed to wait until November 1, 2024, and they assured me they would come back with a new installation date. Despite multiple follow-ups, 8M Solar failed to provide any updates by 2024 and provided the date of December 31, 2024, when they finally scheduled the installation. However, this date would cause me to lose access to essential refunds and credits for 2024, which I had been requesting from the beginning. Meanwhile, my neighbor, who had not even paid the initial deposit and signed up for the project after November, had his system installed and operational before the end of December 2024. When I questioned this to 8msolar, I was told that he was selling his home, so they prioritized his installation over mine—even though I had paid earlier and had been waiting for months. As a result, my installation was pushed to February 27, 2025, which was inconvenient for me as I would be out of the country for two months. When I requested an earlier or later date, they refused, saying it was the "earliest available." They also stated that if I postponed further, I would be charged an additional $1,200. Given their unfair prioritization and disregard for my repeated requests, I decided to cancel the project. Now, they are charging me a total of $3,250 in fees—including $1,750 for prep and application fees (which is understandable) and an additional $1,500 in cancellation fees, which is completely unfair. Meanwhile, my neighbor, who never paid the $3,000 deposit, would not be liable for a similar cancellation fee had he chosen to cancel, making it clear that 8M Solar used my deposit as leverage to delay my installation while prioritizing others. This experience highlights serious concerns about 8M Solar’s business ethics, transparency, and fairness in customer treatment. If anyone has insight into legal options or how to formally escalate this complaint, I would appreciate any guidance. For those considering 8M Solar, beware of their deceptive scheduling practices and the risk of being pushed aside for new customers. I strongly caution against trusting them to honor their commitments. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with 8M Solar? Let’s hold them accountable.

8M Solar provided fantastic service with our solar installation. The entire project lasted around 5 months from signing to solar operation and the coordinating team at 8M was always reachable for all questions. Abraham - the installation supervisor was very through and friendly. He answered all my questions and did it with a smile. Overall I had a genuinely positive experience with 8M Solar,

Didn’t respond to request to refund deposit

I recently had the pleasure of working with 8M Solar, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Aaron, Hamza, Shahzaib, Ahsan, and Jonathan were all outstanding in their respective roles, ensuring every step of the process was smooth and seamless. Aaron and Hamza took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I was comfortable with the technical aspects. Shahzaib was amazing with his prompt communication and attention to detail, while Ahsan's expertise was evident in the flawless installation. Jonathan’s commitment to customer service was the cherry on top, always available to address any concerns and making sure we were fully satisfied. Thanks to the entire team, my solar panel system was installed on time, within budget, and it's already working great! If you’re considering solar energy, I highly recommend 8M Solar. These guys are the best!

Unbeatable price. Excellent service

I obtained quotes from four different solar companies for a solar system with a Powerwall3. Not only was 8MSolar the lowest price but they also offered the best panels (highest capacity and longest guarantee) and the lowest finance rate. They worked with Duke Energy to get my PowerPair rebate approval. It was a long month waiting for installation (like a kid waiting for Christmas), but installation was yesterday. Everything looks great and is working perfectly. Highly recommended.

Solar with 3 5p batteries installed in Feb. 8m was great. The process with Duke is time consuming but that is what it is. 2 full months in and system working as good as I was expecting. I have called and talked to both 8m and Enphase and have had awesome response times. I can't wait for how new tech will keep my Duke bill down at the level it has been so dar. From $250 to $30 for April and May.

Buyer beware. Inverter broke 3 years in and should last 15-20 years. Was under warranty but charged labor to install. While was following the contract, it did not seem right. Should not have to pay labor for a part that’s under warranty. Relatively new installer in the area and will be interesting to see if they chose a faulty supplier a few years from now as the early projects they did mature. Also, threatened to void other warranties of the contract if I posted a negative review containing any inaccuracies. Seems like they’re inflating their reviews by these questionable business practices.

I had solar and 2x PW3's installed and from start to finish, the whole process was easy. The team at 8M really knows their stuff and will ensure they are fully up to date on all new technologies/applications. The timeline went as expected and they kept me informed on any and all changes. Excellent experience, excellent customer service, and excellent products. Glad I went with 8M over the other well-known companies in the area. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend 8MSolar! The whole team was great to work with, from rep Jonathan being very knowledgeable and honest to completion of the project - 8MSolar was very accessible and kept us informed during the whole process. Very professional team, respected our home and did a great job with the install. We are thrilled that we went with 8MSolar! There's a reason why 8MSolar is listed as #1 of the 5 best solar companies in North Carolina.

8msolar engineered and installed my photovoltaic system. I am totally pleased with their professionalism, communication, and final product. They handled everything, so all I had to do was stand back and watch. The county electrical inspector complemented them on the installation and I agree. It was well done. Their communication via email was excellent. They kept me in the loop on every aspect of the process.

I recently had the pleasure of working with 8M Solar to install solar panels on my property, and I am beyond impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, every aspect of the process was handled with professionalism and expertise. First and foremost, the performance of the solar panels has exceeded my expectations. We completed our installation in October; I've consistently seen high production numbers since then. Although the direction of the house is the key. Speaking of installation, I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism demonstrated by the team from 8M. They were punctual, efficient, and incredibly skilled at their craft. Not only did they complete the installation promptly, but they also ensured that every detail was attended to meticulously. One aspect that particularly stood out was how clean my installation was. The solar panels were seamlessly integrated into my property, with no unsightly wires or clutter detracting from the aesthetic appeal of my home. Great care ensured the installation functioned flawlessly and looked visually appealing. The wiring was also mostly invisible as they were routed through a pipe from the attic to the crawl space. I couldn't be happier choosing 8M for my solar panel installation. I wholeheartedly recommend 8M to anyone considering switching to solar energy. Thank you for a job well done!

Very happy with how they walked us through the process from gathering quotes through to turning the system on. Very competitive pricing and quality of materials.

We had our solar install this week and couldn’t be happier! The whole process was very smooth and seamless from getting a quote to the install. The team did a great job explaining the process and answering any questions I had. Everyone was very respectful of our home and property as they did the install, and it all went up so quickly! 8M truly has a great team who are all very knowledgeable and good at what they do. The sales guy was especially amazing and really went the extra mile for me. They are very honest and transparent about their prices (which are reasonable) and process, unlike so many other solar companies out there. It was so worth the investment especially with how great the customer service is and the lifetime workmanship warranty they include. The actual panels look amazing and the design looks so clean and well done. Overall just a great company and I am so glad we went with them!

8MSolar was nothing but professional, informative, and efficient. I wanted to get an interconnect form to Duke Energy before the net metering changes on October 1, and despite me waiting until September 13 to get that process started, they got the interconnect request done in time and the system was operational less than two months from signing paperwork. I never felt rushed or out of the loop, the sales process was informative but not pressured, the project manager kept me informed of my next steps and status at all times, and promptly answered any questions I had. The price was competitive, coming in well under the competition with as good as or better equipment and warranties. The system is working as designed, the install looks clean, and I feel confident that if I have any questions or issues down the road, 8MSolar will be happy to help.

8MSolar was a great company to work with. I originally found them through EnergySage as I was a complete beginner, at the time. Bryce was the first person to reach out to me and understood I was getting other estimates, and even encouraged me to do so but offered a "careful warning" about large national corporations. They actually took an EagleView of my roof and did a preliminary setup to give me realistic ideas of what I could expect. The financing and process were fairly easy, though we did have a couple of hang-ups as we have a unique circumstance. Either way, there was no way for them to have known and I wasn't going to fault them for that information. Once we got all that situated though, it was smooth sailing. We had the roof replaced prior to the solar going up as we wanted it to last just as long as the panels. The installers did a great job on the brand new roof, had the correct equipment, and we made sure everything looked pristine (It legitimately looks amazing). We highly recommend them and will be referring them/using them again when the panels advance to the point that we can use a battery system.

I recently had a solar panel installation done at my home by 8msolar, and I can't say enough positive things about the experience. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and efficient. These are points especially noted: 1. Initial Consultation 2. Customized Solution 3. Quotation 4. Timely Installation 5. Professional Installation 6. Full Support 7. Kind and Courteous 8. Savings My experience with the 8MSolar solar panel installation was exceptional. The company provided full support and was extremely timely, and their kind and professional approach made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend 8MSolar as an eco-friendly and cost-effective energy solution, and I couldn't be happier with the 8MSolar I chose for the installation.

After doing a research for few months and shopping around for solar system on my house, I crossed the number of 8MSolar and chose to give them a try. It turned out that they have been better on price and very professional through whole process of installation. While enjoying my solar all I can say is “Thank you 8MSolar”.

8M Solar was tremendous throughout the entire process. They listened patiently to all my questions, incredibly responsive throughout the process, communicated well as they work towards installation, and ultimately, the installation of the panels was better than expected.

I don't often write reviews. 8M Solar earned this one. 8M Solar is the only company you should trust with your solar project. We solicited bids from 4 companies. All but 8M were simply sales pitches with a one size fits all approach. 8M Solar developed a plan that would work with some unique technical requirements and provided the engineering expertise to back it up. Their attention to detail is outstanding and they follow through on their promises. We hope to expand our installation and will be going straight to 8M when the time comes.

Excellent process in all phases from initial survey to turning on the system. I recommend 8M Solar without reservations.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with 8M Solar for the installation of solar panels on my roof. From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free. What truly set 8M Solar apart was their outstanding communication and professionalism. They utilized project management software that not only streamlined the process but also included me in all communications, allowing me to observe the project's progress firsthand. Any questions or concerns I had were promptly addressed, often within the same day, which was incredibly reassuring. Another aspect that impressed me was their willingness to collaborate on the design. They welcomed my ideas and the engineers worked closely with me to ensure that the solar panel installation met my preferences and requirements. This level of customer-centricity truly made me feel like a valued part of the project. It was also clearly evident that 8M Solar values their team members and treats them with kindness and respect. This approach to their staff resonates with their commitment to excellence in every aspect of their work. The roof installation team, in particular, deserves special mention. Knowing that they are a dedicated and experienced team (not a subcontract) gave me added confidence in the process. Their use of a robust flashing system on the roof (Pegasus), was a higher quality system than I had researched with other solar companies, and speaks to their commitment to quality and longevity. In fact, their lifetime roof warranty reflects their confidence in the durability of their installation, another reason I decided to contract with them. All in all, my experience with 8M Solar was exceptional. They delivered on every promise and went above and beyond in ensuring my complete satisfaction. I can wholeheartedly recommend 8M Solar to anyone considering solar panel installation – they are truly a cut above the rest!

My Solar system was turned on about 10 Days ago by 8M Solar . Everything working well. I couldn’t be any more happier. From the start with Brett (Sales guy) to the Project co-ordinator Hamza to the installation guy Gavin, everyone went above and beyond. The entire team did a great job. I would like to recommend them. They were cost effective, and the output Solar power is more than was promised.

I had a great customer experience with 8MSolar, from the initial sales meeting, throughout the project with frequent updates, and the installation and certification. The people are great.

We're very glad we went with 8MSolar for our home. They were competitive in their pricing and very thorough and detailed in what they would provide. Communication was excellent and always courteous throughout the entire process. This exceptional team clearly knows what they are doing.

Scott and his team was able to give me solar option I wanted. Walk we through the whole way of the project. They are professional and knowledgeable in what they do. The best around in NC!

I chose 8M for my solar project based on my neighbor’s experience with them and their competitive bid and presentation. The project was completed in a professional and timely manner. Their staff were friendly, well informed and all aspects of the project were well coordinated. Communication was excellent. There were 3 separate price revisions from the original bid due, according to 8M , to product availability. Overall very satisfied and would absolutely recommend you include them in your decision making process.

I had my system installed by 8M Solar and was extremely impressed by the professionalism and installation of my system. The communication was great throughout the entire process. I would recommend 8M Solar to my friends and neighbors based on that alone. 8M Solar, once again, exceeded my expectations. I had to have my roof replaced therefore I needed the panels removed and reinstalled. I called Sal and explained the situation, he had the panels down on Monday and back up 2 days after the roof was completed. My panels were off a total of 7 days. My neighbor, who used a different solar company, had to wait 6 weeks to have the panels reinstalled, I appreciate 8M taking care of me when other companies are focused on getting new jobs and not taking care of existing customers.

8 M solar did a great job earning our trust. Their team was patient answering all of our questions and made sure we had a good understanding of what the process would involve. From start to finish, each point of contact was accessible and very responsive.

We chose 8M through a neighbor, and are really pleased. The sales and install team were very thorough and really helped walk us through every step of the way. Truly glad we went this direction. We would recommend them to any of our neighbors and friends.

Installed my solar panels through 8M. Loved it! My project manager Sal is on top of things and keeps me informed every step of the process. Installation crew knows what they are doing - completed the installation in a single day! The appearance of the panels also looks wonderful. My neighbors gave high complements.
