Latest good review thumbs up

Felipe(Phillip)Espinoza | New Braunfels, Texas | 12/07/2022

Although there have been some delays in getting my panels operational. I understand there are outside factors that affect the installation process, such as delays in inspections, review of plans etc. However I recently have been in contact with Toni who has been most helpful in answering the questions I had and researching some other issues related to my installation. She has been most helpful in easing my concerns and I appreciate her timely response to my questions. Hopefully with her assistance the process can continue in a timely and efficient manner.

Latest bad review thumbs down

Information

Same boat as everyone else. Conned into purchasing solar panels that all sounds great but in the end worked totally different than described. Especially the solar credits part and being "penalized" by the loan company. Now system is out and this company was supposed to "warranty" the system and repair it for the next 10 years. Looking to join others and see what can even be done in a class action lawsuit as who would we even go after? The company is no longer around. If Anyone can reach out to "[redacted for privacy]". Thank you and hopefully something can be done

I would like to join you in a lawsuit against Alternative Solar. They sold me solar panels then went out of business and now I still have a high light bill. My rating for them would be a zero overall!

Help Needed from Attorney

As it appears we are all in the same situation. We need to file a mass tort or class action lawsuit. I had my panels installed in March of 2022 and they are still inoperable. Goodleap has employed Green Lancer to assist but I have still dealt with being pawned off to different solar companies who have still not been able to complete the job.

Joining the club

Back in 2019 Alternative Solar reached out to me for Solar Panels and like everyone here I went with it. Installation was no problem and never had an issues with them until today. Noticed my CPS bill was way higher than normal. Come to find out my system only generated 97 Kw which is extremely low compared to the previous month of 410 Kw. Was going to reach out come for assistance to find out looks like everyone got scammed. Not sure what to do now but if anyone wants to move forward with a class action lawsuit I be glad to contribute to the cause!

Absolute worst!

We hired Alternative Solar to install our solar panels in June of 2022. It has been a nightmare ever since! We did not get the panels up and running until October, and then, they neglected.to tell us we had to contact the electric company to set up the solar with them. We finally figured it out, but now some of our panels are.not reporting! So, if anyone knows of a lawsuit being filed, count me in!!

Shocked and awww

Noticed system stopped working. Went to call and find out they are out of business. Went through Enphase who monitors system they got me In touch with an installer to come out and troubleshoot. However that’s not the issue. Discovered I have been paying for 9 panels for a year and only have 6 on my roof. So have reached out to goodleap to find out how this gets fixed. Guess we know why they are out of business. I hope to get some resolve though. Just so upset at this point

Empty promises

Like many of you that has already left a review. I’ve had similar experiences from delayed services, panels being turned off and many other issues now that the business has filed for bankruptcy. If anyone files a lawsuit, please contact me at iamrobmdavis@gmail.com

About Alternative Solar


Own Your Energy & Power Your Future

We believe that going solar should be simple and easy. Our free energy consultation's allow us to assess your energy needs, giving you the power to control your energy costs. We take care of everything from panels, to the installation—for no upfront cost.

The Process

1. Consultation - We'll take a look at your energy needs, evaluate you how much you can save by investing in solar and answer all of your questions.

2. Site Survey - We'll stop by for a second visit to check out your roof, and gather information for our solar design team. We then create a custom system for your energy needs.

3. Permitting - Alternative Solar will submit all necessary permit forms to the city, utility, and home owners association.

4. Installation - Depending on your system size, your solar panels will be installed and ready for activation in about 4-8 hours. Once installation is complete, you will be provided with a thorough explanation of your new solar system

5. Activation - We schedule with your local utility to switch your system on. This is called Permission to Operate, or PTO. Once PTO is granted, your panels are ready to be turned on, and you can start saving.

Enjoy your savings!
