CAM Solar

Best Decision

We researched companies and chose CAM Solar due to their professionalism. Hector stayed in touch with us and gave us updates regularly. From beginning to end the process went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier.

Awesome professional advice!

No pressure, no sales pitch, just the facts and numbers I needed to make an informed decision. CAM Solar delivered on time a clean source of energy that is now reducing dramatically my utility bill. Assistance was provided all along, without being intrusive. Panels are yielding clean power as expected, CAM Solar is the way to go!

8 months to install, little communication

Communication was extremely poor. My project was delayed because of issues with the utility itself, not CAM Solar, but I was left wondering status for months on end (I began my project in July 2019, installed April 2020). Project managers switched often; I even had to provide the drawings and documents to a new one who didn't have them turned over to him when my project got continually moved.

Happy Under the Sun

Great Sales Lady, lots of communication - even when I sent mail to the Senior managers by accident, on time, professional installers. I'm Happy.

Great professional service

Honest, reasonable costs, we will realize long term savings on our energy costs

Painless process

I had been thinking about getting a solar system for years, and CAM Solar help to explain the cost, the tax deduction, and the process to get everything installed. Communication was very strong for the first half of the process, and while it did slack a little bit, they always answered my emails/calls whenever I wanted an update. My system is up and going, and even with the monthly loan cost, I'm saving loads on my monthly expense, especially this summer. Thank you for getting the work done!

Do not trust this company they are bad

A friend of mine recommended them because they did a good job for him

Installation was clean, thorough and professional

Marlon Rhaburn took the time to explain (not sell) to me about solar panel and what it means. This gave me the comfort to invest and trust to go solar. Genuine sincerity and confidence in the solar product was key as well.

Extremely satisfied customer

It was a pleasure to work with CAM Solar and Kevin Krieger in particular to help select the best solar system for me. I did a lot of research and spoke with a lot of different companies, comparing price and service. I chose CAM solar because they were very competitive pricewise and I felt comfortable that the information I was receiving answered all my questions and concerns. Everything went smoothly as far as installation and everyone I spoke to that was in anyway connected with CAM solar was delightful to work with. I immediately started saving a fortune and it motivated me to take a look at all of my other energy use. One month ,my total electric bill was a credit of $14.65! I highly recommend a solar system to any homeowner. I waited for my roof to need replacement and now I regret that. I wish I had replaced my roof and added the solar system a number of years ago. No reason to wait. In any event, the service, the support, the product, all was excellent. I recommend this company without reservation, and would refer you to talk to Kevin Krieger directly

A disappointing experience that's costing me . . .

I'd wanted sustainable energy for some time but never thought I could afford it. Along came Cam Solar who convinced me that I could.

Great Experience!

I started with a different company, but after discovering that their system was too small and grossly overpriced, I looked for alternatives and paid to exit the contract. CAM Solar worked with me to design an appropriately sized system using the same components at a price that was only 60% of the original company! Installation was prompt after the city issued the permit. Installation was convenient and not intrusive. Highly recommended!

It got done

I posted this 6 months ago on different site, they were bugging me fire a review on this site, so.... The actual crew that installed my panels were decent hard working guys, but they seemed to be inefficient which I suspect is a byproduct of the company as a whole. They took an extremely long time to process permits and get on site to do the work (>45 days and yes some of that time is local permitting process). I never received any communications from them directly and my project manager had a very difficult time getting answers from them. I've had to panels installed now for 50 days, but only able to produce power for about 16 days (because they didn't pass inspections 3 times) and I still don't have access to the online viewing of my system (because I'm apparently not a priority now that they've completed installation) I posted this 2 months ago, called the owner as requested and they appeared to care. They said they would work on my system and get things working the way it should be and that's all that happened. I'd love to say they improved my rating but they dropped the ball again with lack of follow up. Cam has my info and they should call me and find out if I'm happy, not the other way around Approximately 20 weeks after the install date and I have my system fully integrated with my cell phone / internet and am able to monitor it. I really like the final product, however, the slow timing and the lack of communications from Cam's HQ is frustrating. Hopefully, reviews like this will kick them in the pants and get them to provide true customer service, because I believe they have a good company that does good work, but something is disconnected within it.

We love our solar!

The rep. that came and presented the package to us did a great job, without pressuring us into buying. We had several companies come out, so we could compare prices and services, and decided to go with CAM Solar. We have saved over $100.00 per month on our electric bill almost every month since then. We're didn't purchase a battery, or we would have saved even more. The company responded to each and every concern or question that we had quickly, and they solved each of them with haste. The only thing we're had a problem with was the financing. The interest was ridiculous, so we refinanced our home to pay for it, but I wouldn't say that was the fault of CAM Solar.

I think the solar panels work great, saving is about 70-75%.

The panels are great but the issue I'm having is that pigeons have made themself a home under the panels. The panels are raised to high above the roof and pigeon crawl right underneath and build bests. They poop all over the roof and yard that had to hired someone bird proof my panel and it wasn't cheap.

Very happy with the equipment. The service is lacking.

Had a friend who was working for Cam Solar at the time I wanted to have solar panels installed.

Solar benefits

At all levels the cam solar employees seem to care about the service and products they provided. Were usually prompt n providing service.

office personal were great, on site personal and job not so good

This would have been a 2 star rating if had not been for the great help and support I received from the Denver office. The onsite work was not done very professionally. I contribute this to either poor engineering or inexperience of the installers. Wood will not hold up to the harsh environment in which I live. The equipment was mounted on steel pedestal and a steel sided building using unpainted wood. From my 40+ years of experience of installing, engineering and maintaining equipment in the outdoors, Unistrut or similar material should have been used to mount the equipment on metal structures. The installers did not enable all the control equipment when it was installed so it did not work properly so the Denver office had to send someone else out to fix the problem. This extended the time it took before I could use the solar equipment. All the things that was said they could do before starting the project and then was not done did not improve my attitude towards the installation crews of this project. The 4 stars were only given because of the Denver office staffs help they gave me to get the project completed.

Installers didn’t do a good job

The installers installed the panels too close to my top story so they get shaded during the morning to late morning hour. I complained to the company about it and they said that I would meet my guarantee output so they wouldn’t correct it. There was plenty of room to install the panels lower. I spent a lot of money and expected it to be done right. The company didn’t meet my expectations.

Too long of a process

Took way to long for install (about 6 months) and only one month was during pandemic shut down. Had a hard time getting a hold of people in charge, one employee would say one thing and other employees would not know anything about that. Did not feel the compensation for extra install time (cost of electric payed) was adequate. Still waiting to have damage to home repaired.

One Year Later

It has been 13 months since our system has been installed and for the most part we are satisfied. Our original review after installation once red lack of follow up support from the office. You would call, be told someone will be in touch and then never hear anything. Cam told us us they were going to hire more people since they were short staffed. We have no idea if they did since we have not had to call. My biggest complaint is the referral system. We were told that we would receive a cash incentive for any new referral. Well we did. Our first review expressed our displeasure.Rep from CAM Contacted us and said they would get right on it. NEVER heard a word or saw a dime. When we called we were told once again they would look into it. Still nothing!!! Finally, Solar Edge is used to monitor system and it is average at best. We can’t tell what I am putting on the grid..can only ballpark it. I actually get more info when we review our monthly electric bill. We admit it is sweet only having to pay our grid access fee. As for CAM, great when they want your business, average at best post install and terrible at returning calls and keeping word. Glad we didn’t hold our breath on referral bonus!

Great customer service before and after installation

CAMSolar has more than met our expectations from start to finish. They provided all the information we needed to make a decision, and were very accommodating when we wanted customize a few things. The installation crew was polite, professional, and clean. They arrived when promised and respected our property. We had our roof replaced earlier in the year, so we’d recently had experience with work crews on our property. Over the years, we have worked with various trades on improving our home - carpenters, tile, plumbers, electricians, painters and at one point we hired a general contract for a large project. The crew from CAMSolar has been the best we’ve worked with - of any trade. It has been several months since our installation and we are very pleased with the way our system is working. We produce enough power to offset what we use, and feel good about our decision both financially and from an environmental standpoint. We live in an area with poor cellular reception, and our system was originally configured to use cellular data to communicate the production of our panels. At first that was working well. But then, CAMSolar noticed that data wasn’t downloading, and before I could call to report it, they had called me to arrange a time to come get the communication back on line. Things are working great now, and we appreciate their attention to detail and customer service.

Great Company

I have used Cam Solar on two separate occasions to install solar panels on my roof and have been totally satisfied with their professionalism, workmanship and technical knowledge of the company's personnel. I feel comfortable recommending this company. No complaints.

I like that their panels are made in the US

I wanted panels made in the US & not in Korea. Last summer the sun as SO hot, I decided to use it rather than fossil fuel for electricity. The windmill people have been pushing wind at HEB & I told them i was waiting for panels. Now i have them & my monthly utility bill is half what it was last summer.

Overall I was very pleased

CAM Solar offered us one of the best prices, quality (modern high efficiency panels, metal not plastic conduits) and a reasonable contract. Their installation design maximized energy generation for our complex roof design and local obstructions. Their installers were courteous, competent and efficient. I noted one mistake in the installation which caused a panel to come loose, but they quickly corrected it once informed. Homeowners should be aware that the whole process may take much longer than expected. From our first interviews of companies to activation of our system took 8 months, a big part of that due to time required by our local government reviews and inspections, and for our utility (Xcel Energy) activation of our system. Overall we were very pleased with CAM Solar and would highly recomment them.

Happy customer for over a year now. Thank you!

Great system, great price. No complaints.
