E2 Solar, LLC

My experience with E2 Solar is a little unusual. I had a system installed by another company and was told if I ever had to replace my roof it would be a certain number. A few years later I needed to have my roof replaced and when I called the original company I was told a price that was close to triple the original number. I decided to call around to see if any other company could perform the service and thankfully I called E2 Solar. Dustin was so kind in helping me work toward resolving my problem and he gave me some great advice on dealing with the other company. I can only assume their service is a small reflection of this company's ethics and if I had it to do over I 100% would choose to give E2 Solar my business.

E2 had excellent communication, quality service and product, and got our Solar installed without any issues. Very happy from initial estimate to final install.

Update: The owner responded to my review claiming this was from another company, however that is not the case. What's even worse is the management team reached out to me and is now lying to customers on Google trying to cover up their mistakes. Read my original review below. BUYER BEWARE. I recently received a solar installation bid from E2 Solar and wanted to share my experience to help other homeowners make informed decisions. First, it’s important to note that E2 Solar is not a local Oregon-based company—they're out of Idaho and only recently obtained their Oregon business license in the past year. While that’s not inherently an issue, it raised some concerns about their long-term presence and accountability in Central Oregon. Unfortunately, my experience confirmed some of those concerns. The sales rep we met with was extremely pushy and seemed more focused on closing the deal quickly than understanding our home’s specific needs. Throughout the conversation, there were several moments where the information provided was either misleading or outright incorrect—for example, exaggerated claims about local rebates and inaccurate timelines about federal tax credits. After some due diligence on our part, we discovered they had misrepresented a few key points in the proposal and were not being transparent about their equipment or installation process. When we brought this up, they deflected and we caught them in a clear contradiction. Bottom line: we didn’t feel comfortable moving forward with a company that lacked local roots, seemed to prioritize sales tactics over honesty, and couldn’t provide clear, verifiable answers to basic questions. There are reputable, experienced solar providers based right here in Central Oregon who know the market, support our local economy, and can provide a better level of trust and service. I’d recommend doing your homework and seeking out a locally licensed and community-supported installer with a proven track record.

I had two different systems installed by E2 solar. Chose them because they were local and passionate. Had a couple issues such as when they serviced they forgot to plug my system back in so it was down for a few months and then it turns out they had drilled a hole in my roof that caused a leak in my bedroom. It took over six months for them to admit it was them and only after I paid a contractor to prove it. To their credit they did eventually take responsibility and cover the costs to repair. I was giving them the benefit of doubt on all this and not posting a review. However, I just spoke with them and asked them to help me understand why my inverters are not reporting any data (meaning they can't provide the service they promised of monitoring). We scheduled for them to come out and they just notified that I had to pay them $200 for them to come figure out why their system is not working just to get them to come out. $30,000 later I'm out on E2 solar and would suggest find a different company. - Update I upped the stars as this review seemed to get their attention and I immediately got a call from Rob the owner. He was super friendly and got his team to respond to my ask for help and both my systems are back up and running. Cost me $1000 because the warranty was only 5 years on the inverter instead of the longer warranty for my panels but I appreciated the personal phone call and follow up.

E2 Solar helped us with a tricky installation on our barn that other "quick-flip" installers didn't want to deal with. Mike took the extra time to work with Bend Electric to get the out-of-code electrical infrastructure on our property ready to accept solar, meet Central Electric Coop's requirements, and pass county inspection. The E2 team was promp, professional, and courteous every step of the way. They really are the local experts and I'd recommend them to everyone.

E2 Solar has now installed two PV systems for me. They are knowledgeable, professional and committed. I recommend them without reservation.

The Best Complete Solar Company in Central Oregon

I have a non-prescriptive Solar System. This is when the system is different then a common cookie-cutter system that the city building department considers prescriptive. My system required engineering and more planning than a basic system. They are also experts with all of the federal and state incentives or rebates. All of this process was handled with a breeze by E2 Solar, Inc. They kept me updated and continue great customer service even after the installation. I normally do not give reviews about companies, but I have to make an exception for E2 Solar, Inc. They are the only company in Central Oregon I would consider for a solar project.

Friendly Professional Service

Installed the system when they promised and it works as advertised. No problems whatever.

Solar success

Installer did everything they said they were going to do. The quality of the components as well as the workmanship of the installation was top notch! You always get what you pay for and although E2 Solar wasn't the cheapest, they certainly had the most knowledge of the business and well worth the expense!

They love their solar

The owner was incredibly involved and spent a ton of time talking with us about the project and then spent a while when it was done explaining everything. He is committed to sustainable living and is passionate about solar. The job was done incredibly quickly once they were available and we love our final product.

E2 Solar

Great experience with E2 solar. Mike is extremely knowledgable. Glad I found them!

Great local family owned installer

Mike and Kellie at E2 Solar did a great job working with me to design a ground mount system that fit my needs. I'd gotten a quote from another large provider with a few offices over the US and they weren't nearly as eager to work with be because my system wasn't cookie cutter. I'd definitely recommend E2 Solar to anyone in the the Central Oregon area looking to install a custom solar array.

Easy, great experience

After getting three quotes from an inquiry through Energy Trust, we chose the local business, E2 Solar. From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with, providing us clear explanations of the process and our options and getting the job done quickly. We are thrilled with the array they recommended for us and did not have a single power bill for the first seven months they've been in operation. I would recommend E2 to anyone interested in converting to solar, especially here in Bend.

Successful upgrade

Working with E2 Solar made the permitting, installation, and inspection timely and efficient. They addressed concerns with our HOA and worked in adverse weather to meet the end of year deadline. In the end, the process went smoothly and met all our expectations. We would certainly recommend E2 Solar for system upgrades or for new installations.

Rooftop Solar Installation

All communication with E2 was prompt and informative. All appointments were kept. Installation was completed quickly and with high quality. Interaction with E2 was a pleasure in all aspects. E2 is fortunate to have the high caliber employees that it has.

Home owner

E2 Solar installed an 18 panel array on our home in Tumalo, Oregon. They were highly recommended by one of their past customers.They did everything in the most professional and rapid way possible. The workmanship was excellent, the costs were right on, they were prompt, fast and efficient. Everyone involved was friendly and courteous, the paperwork was complicated but explained well and the system seems like it could not work any better. We would confidently encourage anyone to use this company.

Passion & Professionalism

I could not be happier with my choice of installer. All the way through the process; from initial inquiry, through answering my unending number of questions/emails, e2 Solar were easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable and very professional. It is very obvious that for Mike & Kelli, this is not just a job - they are very passionate about solar and that quality shines through in the care and attention to detail I felt as a customer. Very, very happy.

Vert professional job.

I have nothing but good things to say about working with E2 Solar through the entire process of installing panels. The information they provided on what would happen and on the paperwork and inspection process was very clear. The installation occurred as described and in the time frame they had planned for; installers were professional, and left the work site clean. The walkthrough they provided to explain how the system works was very thorough. Everyone we worked with was helpful and professional. Great company to work with.

Love our E2 Solar installation!

E2 Solar was very professional at all levels, our PV system is working beyond our expectations and we recommend E2 all the time!

solar installation

E2 Solar was a great company to work with. From the first phone call, they were professional and helpful. Installation was done on time and budget. They were well prepared and were willing to discuss the limitations of the types of appliances that won't take too much energy. I would recommend them to anyone considering a solar installation.

I would gladly recommend to others

The work was delivered as promised. The work on site was well done and done in a timely manner without leaving a mess. I would gladly recommend to others if asked.

The installation was timely and professional

E2 provided my original grid-tied solar electric system 5 years ago. When I was ready for more, Mike promptly did a site survey and gave me an estimate. The installation was timely and professional using top quality components. I love the new inverter which provides 1500 watts even when the grid is down.

E2 Solar was a dream to work with

E2 Solar was a dream to work with throughout the whole job. They do excellent work. The inspector even commented on how well done the system is.

Wonderful company to work with!

They did a clean and professional job, and they even took care of all the paperwork!

new PV system!

Very professional company and great to work with in installing our new PV system!

Very Knowledgeable and Professional

I've known and had very satisfactory dealings with E2 Solar since the mid 2000's. The recent installation, completed in late 2014, is the second residential solar project that E2 has done for me and I am pleased with both projects. They are well informed about options, very knowledgeable about current technology, and professional in their approach.

Expectations have been exceeded with E2 Solar

E2 Solar went above and beyond the customer care I requested.
