Arch Solar

Thinking about investing in solar panels? Give Arch Solar, Plymouth, WI office a call! We live in Fond du Lac and had them install 10 panels on our roof-absolutely no regrets! From the rep who patiently answered my many questions to the installation, all went smoothly and seeing our first utility bill cut in half, despite quite a few cloudy days, has convinced me it was a wise investment!

We had our 30 panel system installed in July of 2023. Arch did a great job and I have no problems with their product or installation. But I would recommend installing solar panels on newer roofs. Our roof was about 15 years old at the time and with panels rated for a 25-30 year life span, be sure to understand the cost of having panels removed and reinstalled when a roof needs to be re-shingled. When we bought through Arch we asked that question and were told by the sales rep that it was around $4000. In July of 2024 we had to have our roof shingles replaced due to hail damage, and Arch Electric charged $14,700 to have the panels removed and reinstalled. Luckily our insurance covered the cost but if that was not the case, this would have negated any long-term financial benefits of a solar system.

We picked Arch to install our solar after shopping around quite a bit. We choose them because they (Stanley specifically) answered my many questions with detail, patience, and was very knowledgeable. There was no pressure like with other companies we got quotes from. Crew was efficient and courteous during installation. There was a small problem with our internet setup connecting with the monitoring system when it was turned on but they came out quickly & had it resolved soon.

I picked Arch Electric because they represented themselves transparently, with a no pressure approach. The crew that installed the panels on my roof went to work, in the snow no less, with diligence and direction. The end product is producing power nicely and I'm pleased with the whole package. I highly recommend Arch Electric to folks looking into to going solar.

A friend of mine had Arch Electric install his solar panels. He had a very positive experience. I talked to three different companies when I was deciding on my installation. Arch was very knowledgeable about the panels, the installation process and what to expect along the way. I appreciated how thoughtful they were in explaining everything. Their installation team, led by Dennis, were great at getting the job done right. I'd recommend connecting with Arch Electric if you are considering solar.

We chose Arch Electric because their proposal was clear and concise while including all the relevant information. The panels they use are highly rated. The panel layout was right for our home and the cost per system size was better than the rest in part because the layout was smarter than other companies proposed.

Arch worked with us to design and install our system. They took care of tax rebate applications, as well as scheduling and managing both building and utility inspections. Arch kept us up to date on the job progress, and was always available for questions or additional information. Overall this has been a very enjoyable and transparent experience.

Arch Electric is very competent in their entity with solar install and production. We initially had difficulties with communication with one staff person, but Angie was quick to jump in and assist in answering any questions we had. She was excellent with follow through. The project was postponed for two months, only to find out it was due to the need for an updated survey, requested by the City of Brookfield, which was not anticipated. Once the survey was completed, communication happened regularly and all aspects of the install began. Our decision to go with Arch Electric was from their first impressions. Angie was very respectful on the first call, did not assume and treated us as knowledgeable potential clients with minimal sales pressure. We had another bid from a competitor (Sun Badger Solar) who was the exact opposite, talking down and only addressing the conversations to my husband. Even though we BOTH were FT employees in our careers and partners in marriage, spending "our money" was something I felt should include me in the decision making and negotiations process. Being in middle management in healthcare for half my career, I consider myself an intelligent person. Once the install team arrived, they ALL were very respectful, personable, professional and quite fun to have around. It was good to see a young group of guys clean up after themselves, work as a team and communicate with us if any anticipated noise level was expected or a timeframe when the power needed to be out for a bit. They always left the property cleaned up as it was, when they first arrived. We upgraded the amperage and had an outlet installed for the anticipation of need for an electric car, thinking progressively. They also drug a hose, along with the underground tubing that they put the wires through, so we could have an extension of water access for our garden and flower beds, an added plus! We have already received the rebate from Focus on Energy and look forward to the positive outcome it will have on our taxes next year. The Enphase app on our phones are quite fun to follow, to see when the production is higher or lower. Our install was in mid August, ending with the final approval by WE Energies on Sept.12th. Thank goodness we were blessed with a lot of sun this past month and a half, as it has significantly decreased our energy bill on the electric side already! Made up for the 2 month delay at the beginning (again, not Arch Electric's fault). Thanks for a great experience in something that was more my husband's goal than mine...:) For pictures, check the Google review we posted. Do not hesitate to contact Arch Electric...you will be glad you did!

After receiving quotes and going through a thorough review of 8 companies who do solar installs in the Madison area, we selected ARCH Electric as our vendor of choice and are super glad we did. First off, our sales rep, Stanley, was amazing. He was patient as I asked many questions and very responsive in tweaking the quotes to my requirements (1st star). He wasn't pushy at all, something that I had to deal with from about 50% of the other companies. Once I had a final proposal, the Arch Electric one fell in the middle regarding assumptions around our predicted system output and on the lower side in regards to cost. After 3 months of generation, I can say we have over-produced vs. the predictions (2nd star). In regards to the installation, Arch had completed the install 2 weeks before we were promised (3rd star), and when I noticed a problem during the install, Arch came back a second day to make sure I was 100% pleased, and did so with a smile on their face (4th star). I can also speak to their post-install service and support in that we had a microinverter fail (no fault of Arch's). After informing Stanley of this, Arch was back to our house within 1 week to get our system back up and running at full capacity (5th star). The fact that they have their own staff of techs really benefited us in this case. Beyond that, I also wanted to comment on one of the other major reasons I chose Arch, and that was the technology/quality they offer in their panels. In doing my research, the REC Solar Alpha series panels are market-leading for the latest technology, highest efficiency, and degradation guarantee. You can only find similar performance with Panasonic or LG panels but the REC panels come at a much lower cost. I recommend you do your research into panels when comparing quotes. This was a big differentiator for me. If you are looking at solar for your home, do yourself a favor and make sure you include Arch Electric in your evaluation. You'll be glad you did.

Although we wanted solar panels for our home, we were in the dark about how to go about it. Arch Electric assisted us in acquiring solar panels for our home---estimates, scheduling, installation, inspections, paperwork... and communicated clearly throughout the process. Each person we dealt with from the company was efficient, clean, timely, supportive and professional. Everything was as expected or better. We are very, very satisfied!

Arch Electric installed our roof mounted system and we began generating solar power on June 24th. We had designed the house to eventually go to solar, including conduit for the electrical cabling, so the install only took about 7 hours. Arch handled the paperwork and we have already received our FOCUS ON ENERGY rebate check. Great experience all around.

A successful solar project brings together people with a large number of different skill sets. Arch Electric certainly did a great job technically. But I was even more impressed by Dan Steinhardt's ability to connect with all the agencies and organizations to ensure we got the maximum rebate for our project. Dan knew all the players and acted as our advocate to ensure all the government paperwork went smoothly. When we had questions, he was always quick to reply. Customer service really sets Arch Electric apart.

Arch installed our solar system through the City of Milwaukee program. They were always responsive and prompt. Very happy with the work and the service

My solar panels are up, and I'm happy to say I have gotten a credit on my utility bill because of the surplus power generated. Arch Electric took care of all the paperwork and permitting, and the process was rather simple for me. Their sales reps and installers were excellent communicators, and I am happy with how the installation turned out.

We received bids from five different solar companies and chose Arch Electric because of their expertise, quality products, reputation, and pricing. The were number one in all of these areas.

I first met an Arch Electric representative at a solar informational presentation. Everyone there was very impressed with their experiences with Arch Electric. I am as well! Angie is so knowledgeable yet easy to talk to. She and the staff answered our questions promptly and completely. Amanda kept us updated throughout the process. The installation team and electrician were all great and very hard working! The whole experience has been easy and positive.

I did a search and found Arch was consistently high rated in the Milwaukee area. Reached out and from that moment on, found a company equally equipped with outstanding personal and technical skills, as well as regulatory savvy. If you're anywhere near Milwaukee, the city proper or the county, and considering solar, these folks have to be on your short list.

Chose Arch because they are a local company and I have a friend that used and recommended them. When I was talking to the WE energy people they seemed to like working with Arch .

Arch Electric installed residential solar panels for me and the experience was very positive. All the workmanship and materials seem to be high quality, and the power being produced is approximately what was promised. The process from signing the contract to having the system operational took a lot longer than expected. When the salesperson said 6 weeks lead time, I assumed that meant 6 weeks until installation. Instead, that meant 6 weeks until they started planning, getting permits, etc. The whole process took over 3 months. Nevertheless, I am very happy with the results.

The original quote and explanation to the system, friendly and responsive installation crew, and follow up to check to see if our car charger was installed and working correctly were outstanding indicators as to why this is the #1 solar company in the Midwest. A veteran owned company that does a thorough job of helping the customer understand and design a system that maximizes efficiency and lowers cost. They help you understand the tax savings and even fil out the proper forms for you. You will not be disappointed!

I started researching my solar panel project in April of 2018. I got multiple quotes from various companies working in southeastern Wisconsin, and I chose Arch Electric for so many major reasons. The testimonials from previous clients were positive. Their professional level of conduct, electrical qualifications, and their ability to add an EV charging station in my garage. They were an affordable option and they work with Summit Credit Union and Milwaukee Shines's solar loan program. We signed our proposal at the end of June and were making power by the end of September. Solar installation takes patience because it's an involved process, but it's worth it, and Arch Electric does their best to ensure customer satisfaction throughout the process. I was always impressed with my team. I could not be happier with my new system. It's awesome! Special thanks to Dan, Troy, Cody, Tyler, Matt and everyone who helped make my vision a reality.

I had a great experience working with Arch Electric. Dan was professional and informative. With a new roof in the plan, Dan and Arch Electric worked closely with my roofing contractor to coordinate the process. The outcome was excellent. Even though most days have been cloudy and rainy since, I can see the system is working. I am looking forward to lower electric bills and less reliance on electricity. My carbon footprint has decreased during this time of climate change and I am grateful for finding a great solar contractor to work with.

Installers were very polite and professional. Job was completed in two days. My system is producing power beyond my expectations. I’m very happy with my purchase and hope to earn great savings from it in the future. Thank you

My third experience with a solar pv system installation done by Arch Electric, two residentials and one church.

Arch Electric installed a 10.23KW (31 panels) residential system on my roof. Everyone was extremely professional. This is the only company in SE WI that has a long history of solar install projects, and is part of a national group that continues to invest in the solar industry/development. They are the only certified installer of Panasonic HIT panels in the state of WI, if not the Midwest. Make absolutely certain that Arch is on your short list, if not at the top! Angie, Eric, Russel, and the rest of the team went above and beyond any other contractor I contacted.

Arch Electric installed our solar panels in November 2017. In previous years we had studied and talked to contractors and even received bids: it was intimidating, confusing, and bureaucratic, especially for people like us who wish to do the right thing but are ignorant, or at least inexperienced. Arch and a local Sierra Club expert made it clear and simple and held us by the hand (so to speak) through the whole process. We are utterly satisfied.

I am so happy to have my solar system installed and to do my part in going green and reducing the toxic chemicals going into the atmosphere from coal. Arch Electric exceeded my expectations thru the entire process.

I looked at a few different installers and was disappointed with the response from many, I am so lucky that I decided to use Arch. Arch did everything as promised and more. They took care of every aspect of the process and made it simple. When they were done everything was clean and flawless. It was like they were never there except for the fact that I was suddenly creating power from the sun.

It was a breathe of fresh air to work with a solar installer that actually knows solar and isn't just selling solar. There is no question they are the experts. They completed the project in a timely fashion. The installers were very respectful of my property and consulted with me at various points during the install to ensure that I understood and was comfortable with the process. From the Sales Rep to the Installers, it's very clear that they care about their customer experience.

We were able to have our system installed in 2 days by the professionals at Arch Electric. The staff is top notch from owner to office to sales to installers, especially the installers. No part time sub contracted dummies that don't know what they're doing. The Arch team is professional, and why they are the Solar Energy Experts. If you are in SE Wisconsin and are thinking of solar for your home or business, you have to get in touch with Arch. We talked to several others, nobody offered the value and expertise that we received from Arch. We enjoy watching the production of the system from our phone and laptop with the free included monitoring.

I worked with Arch Electric for the installation of solar panels on my home. As I learned about solar, they answered my MANY questions quickly and patiently. The installation team had great customer service, and I am very happy with the final product. During the commissioning, the representative from the utility company even commented on the outstanding workmanship that Arch had done. For solar panels, I would definitely recommend Arch Electric.

I'm very pleased with my decision to go with Arch Electric for my solar installation. The process went very smoothly and they delivered on everything they promised. We ran into a couple bumps along they way (some shingles needed to be replaced that weren't properly installed by the roofer). I wouldn't have noticed had the installers not pointed this out. I appreciated that instead of just getting the job done as quickly as possible they notified me of the issue as to not compromise the quality of my roof or solar installation. Even with this delay, Arch was back on track as soon as the roofer fixed their error. My system has been producing over a year and I'm very pleased with the performance of my solar system.

A terrific experience. Arch Electric walked us through the process, every step of the way, and was always there for questions, even well after the project was complete.
