UNTRUSTWORTHY COMPANY — NEGLIGENT + UNACCOUNTABLE

If you care about your home, do not use Better Earth Solar. They installed solar on our roof in 2022. Within months, our roof began leaking directly from the solar installation area. What followed has been over three years of water damage, mold, failed repairs, and complete refusal to take responsibility. Better Earth attempted multiple “repairs,” each of which either failed or made the damage worse. After one of their failed fixes, we discovered black mold inside our home, forcing us to file an insurance claim and live displaced from multiple rooms for months with our young children. We hired an independent licensed roofer who confirmed: • Improper solar installation • Cracked and displaced roof tiles • Poor workmanship directly caused by Better Earth Despite written proof, Better Earth refused to replace or properly repair the roof, claiming it was “no longer leaking.” It started leaking again in the exact same location on January 1, 2026, saturating insulation, drywall, and carpet. At that point, the damage was undeniable. Since then, we have called daily and received no response. This company will: • Damage your roof • Leave you with mold and major repairs • Refuse accountability • Stop responding when the problem resurfaces There are many solar companies that install systems without putting your home at risk. Better Earth is not one of them. Getting solar through them turned into a far larger, more expensive project than if we had never gone solar at all. Stay away if you don’t want to risk your home.

Bad

Better Earth solar has been a nightmare to deal with since the contract was signed. They put a roof on my house before doing the installation of the solar system. The roof was never finished and was very bad workmanship. They replaced the beam in the garage and nothing is connected properly and appears to be unstable. They put roofing tiles over all of the vents so the attic is virtually unvented and the electric vents were never wired and made to work. The job took considerably longer than it was supposed to. After installing the system it has never worked properly and when trying to contact them and the monitoring company to resolve the issue I was given the runaround. I have called several different times and the issue is still not resolved. It appears to me that after they get your money they don’t care and want nothing to do with you. In my experience I would suggest not using Better Earth for anything.

Terrible communication a year after install

I chose Better Earth through the Energy Sage website. I usually choose the second quote of three which Better Earth was. We had red flags during the install and permit process but they fixed them. However a year later, we have to change our roof which they said looked “good.” Roofing companies suggest they did a shotty install that doesn’t protect the roof. They refused to come on site to look at the current condition, just denied any issues. Now they want me to pay in full for a project they haven’t done yet. I would never hand over thousands of dollars to a company before they start anything.

Worst Company Ever

Worst company I have every dealt with in my life. Signed a contract in mid January of 2025 and they still have not passed inspection. The job was supposed to be done on April 27th, 2025. Nobody at the company is reachable, nobody at the company is competent. They stole my own personal conduit, broke my terracotta roof tiles, and have failed inspection a FIVE TIMES all for the same code violation. This company is so incompetent, they cannot even use a measuring tape properly to measure 36 inches. I would love to hear their response on this platform. I have reached out to their general customer service, spoken to my Project Manager "Ransom", an escalations manager named "Maggie" and "Laura" and their Head of Escalations Martin Murray. None of these people have provided any solution. My recommendation to all people considering this company is to find someone else. This company is unresponsive, incompetent, unethical, and does not take any action to remedy their mistakes. I will update this if something changes.

Solar out...Better Earth not helping

I urge you not get a solar power system from Better Earth!!! I have had my solar panels for a couple of years, but now they are not working....in August...in Arizona...in the middle of excessive heat warnings. And I have been waiting for over 20 days for someone to come out and even look at the system. My electricity bill continues to rise, and Better Earth just replies "someone should contact you in 2 weeks", but it has been 20 days. I have lost all confidence in this company and have no idea when they will fix the system. There are many companies to choose from.....DO NOT CHOOSE BETTER EARTH.

Great experience

Our experience has been great so far. Our rep Jacob S. was very nice, kind and informative. Jacob kept us updated every step of the way and followed up to see how our experience has been. Definitely would recommend.

Severe Roof Damage + Complete Lack of Accountability

Better Earth Solar caused repeated roof leaks and visible structural warping after installing panels on my home. It took over 10 service visits to stop a leak—and now that the roof is visibly bowing, they’ve refused to explain or take any accountability. Their team stopped responding entirely after I asked for supporting documentation. Even the CEO ignored my escalation. Their communication is chaotic, their customer service is nonexistent, and their installation caused real, lasting damage. I’ve hired a structural expert and am pursuing legal action. Avoid this company at all costs.

They’re lame at being proactive when a problem arise.

I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. They are so slow to take care of problems and don’t even care to say anything when the system isn’t producing until you realize and say something. They aren’t running a professional business, very lazy and inefficient. Every year at least once the system broke down, not even 4 years old. Lame.

Jacob Safier was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I was informed of exactly what was going to happen and how long the process would take. The field crew finished install a day early and did a fantastic job.

Clear and Concise

Better Earth took their time to cover all the details of the solar panels and how the system would best benefit us. They used thermal detection software to show us how many panels, location and arrangement that would optimize production for our total average electric usage. Its been 5 months since the system was activated and has met or exceeded the kilowatt production promised in the sales presentation. I would recommend using Better Earth for your solar project.
