A Professional Class experience from beginning to end!

I've had my system installed for two years now without need of any repairs, so far. My electrical bill has gone from an average of $100 per month to $8 per month, with my building a surplus of Kw hours each month. The installation process was as smooth and easy for a customer as one could hope for, with ASI handling all the applications and permitting necessary for the install. My personal experiences with Crystal(Sales), Annie(Project Mgr.), and Travis(Service Mgr.) from ASI were very professional and above reproach. I can't say enough good things about these 3 employees of their company. I would highly recommend Affordable Solar to anyone for their renewable energy needs!

Clear information on solar power

Amongst the cloud of confusing information as well as misinformation Lou Dotson of Affordable Solar of fresh air. Lou provided clear and concise information. He is not pushy salesman at all, he just provides good clear information on solar power. With this information you can make a clear decision whether solar is a good choice for you. I strongly suggest that you take the time to talk to Lou about solar power for your home.

Total Product and Professional Service

We experienced total product and professional service from Affordable Solar at start to finish and beyond! How can this be? Well, each person was totally available for my questions and concerns by returning my calls and emails in a quick turn around manner every time! Each person, the salesman, home assessor, the clerk who filed the utility agreement with PNM and submitted our permit package, the installers who were respectful of our roof and property, the electrician who was very careful and tidy with each connection and lastly, the very knowledgeable staff person who helped us file the State and Federal tax forms. The salesman and staff person who walked us through all of the steps from start to finish were available BEYOND the call of duty when we had tax filing questions months after being hooked up to the grid! We made our first loan payment on 05-01-2021, and Affordable Solar was just as helpful and responsive to help us in January months after everything was completed!

Great Energy Partner

Affordable Solar help me cover my entire roof in solar. They were flexible with my schedule, answered my concerns, and delivered and excellent system. Meetings, contracts, and PNM/city concerns were all smoothly addressed with as little on my shoulders as possible. The warranty, help with the tax paperwork, and install are all reasons I recommend them to family and friends.

Great service department

I reached out for a quote from Affordable Solar. Once Anna called me for a consultation, she explained that i was outside their service area. However, she still took the time to do some research and send me information on the type of equipment that i was looking. It's not everyday that a company will go out of their way for someone who is not a customer. I would definitely use Affordable Solar if i was in their service area

Great company to deal with.

The price was right, the engineering was very good (they combined my existing string inverter system with a micro-inverter system), the people were friendly and easy to deal with, and the complex installation was done quickly and painlessly. I highly recommend Affordable Solar!

UNEQUIVOCAL FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE

We just completed installation of our solar project in February 2020, and it has been a dream come true every step of the way! I was initially skeptical that solar panels made sense for my home, but after doing my homework, and sitting down with the folks at Affordable Solar, it all made perfect sense. The process and costs are made totally transparent by the sales team in a clear, concise proposal the give you after assessing your historical electrical use. They can predict on that data how many panels and inverters your system and should be composed of, and exactly how long the installation will take. I was actually very pleased at how affordable our system was. Once we agreed to move forward, the assessment team came out, designed the panel placement, and ensure that our roof areas for panel placement were structurally sound. Affordable Solar does all the hard stuff (permitting, HOA approval, etc). The actual installation took half a day, and it was painless because the panels are on skids/sleds that simply sit on a flat roof with ballast blocks -- no invasive mounting into your actual roof. Once done, they arranged for all electric company inspections/certifications, which came quickly. To date, my system has actually performed better than was predicted, and my electric bill has completely vanished. My sales representative, Solve Maxwell, and my project lead Jonas Terwilliger, were absolutely AMAZING during every step of the project -- they make it happen smoothly, efficiently, and perfectly every step of the way. I am soooooooooo glad I elected to do this. I feel socially responsible, received a wonderful tax rebate, and am loving the fact that we are converting all this gorgeous New Mexico sunshine to energy. Thank you Affordable Solar for a job exceptionally WELL DONE! John Rolph

Affordable Solar - 5 Stars

My review of Affordable Solar is 5 stars! The process that Affordable Solar has in place made it very easy to get solar. Crystal Felice, my sales representative did an outstanding job of explaining solar, how Affordable Solar operates, and taking care of my account. I would recommend Crystal to anyone who is interested in solar. Kelsey McIntyre, my project manager also did an outstanding job of explaining time lines, who would come out and the what if situations. Kelsey was quick to call me back when I had questions and was overall very much on top of the project. I am very pleased with my solar experience and Affordable Solar. I have actively talk about my experience and the money saving aspects of solar to friends and family.

Exceptional every step of the way

My experience has been nothing but positive every step of the way. I have been blown away with how easy and stress free the whole process has been. I really cannot say enough good things about Affordable Solar. There are so many parts to get solar but every single person has been exceptional. I would especially like to praise Dylan who was the first person I worked with. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and understanding. At one point I was considering using a different solar company (who was pressuring me to go with them) but Dylan changed my mind. He was understanding and not at all pushy, but he answered my questions and made me remember why my initial intuition was correct. He is such a valuable asset to Affordable Solar and I hope that is recognized. Everyone has been incredible but he truly stands out. I wish more companies were so honest, helpful, and communicative. You have customer service perfected. I cannot thank everyone enough.

My Installation

This rating of my residential solar system consists of four sections. 1. Sales Dylan Connelly's presentation of the "Affordable Solar" concept was complete and understandable. I had many questions with respect to system design, my specific configuration, system performance, system warranty and product support. When Dylan did not know an answer to a question, he would say so and respond with "I will get back to you". He always got back with an answer. Dylan did not pressure me to sign a contract at our first meeting. He understood and respected my need to obtain other proposals in order to evaluate the cost and performance of other systems. Dylan represents "Affordable Solar"in the most professional manner. Give Dylan a raise. 2. Contract Actions Contract actions were uncomplicated, concise and accurate. Proposed installation schedule presented at contract signing was met to the day. 3. Project Management Project Manager contacted me the day of contract signing and provided a continual update of installation schedule. Project manager provided timely information on the progress of the municipal and utility permits and approval . 4. Installation Installation was superbly choreographed. System installers arrived on schedule, electrical panel upgrade was completed with no hitches. City/utility inspectors arrived at time requested by "Affordable Solar." Quo-dos to Adam on electrical panel upgrade, mapping the circuitry in the house and solving lawn sprinkler problems. Quo-dos to Eric for clean up on electrical panel installation and paint matching on external boxes. Bottom Line - "Affordable Solar" is the best choice for residential solar systems in New Mexico!!

Solar for Us

We are very pleased with Affordable Solar. Our installation was quickly and professionally done, and its subsequent performance has been exactly as predicted. Perhaps the most telling comment we can provide is to mention that every inspector at every stage asked who did the installation and we said Affordable Solar and they said, “Yeah. Those guys never mess up.” All the people involved have been both professional and pleasant.
