Great Team at EGT Solar

The team at EGT was very helpful throughout the process of our installation. I had a number of questions for Dan, Jake and Casey; relating to the understanding the benefits of solars, how the system worked and how to effectively use the Tesla app on my phone. I have enjoyed having the Tesla Solar system; it has caused me to be much more cognizant of our electric power usage and how to manage our use. I certainly leave fewer lights on in unoccupied rooms. Also, like the idea of having back up power in the event we were impacted by an outage. I would recommend talking with EGT if you are considering solar. Last months bill was under $10.00.

From Beginning and Beyond, excellent customer service

We chose EGT after interviewing several other solar companies, EGT was the only company with a physical location in the area, The other companies hired sales reps to cover our area and were not very knowledgeable. I have talked to some people who have had other companies installed their systems and are forced to deal directly with the manufactures of the solar products that were installed for questions. EGT is there for you from the beginning and beyond. Burke at EGT was honest, very knowable, and pleasant to work with, he walked us through the process step by step, As are all the employees at EGT. I have had many questions since my system was installed. They are all very kind and patient, at the age of 70, I am not the sharpest with new technology.

Ken Koehn | Buhl, ID | 06/17/2024

The installers did a great job and worked together efficiently and also very helpful in answering any question I had. Would recommend 100 %

service

I was very impressed with the service Austin provided to help me in a bad situation. He went out of his way to help me out since my installer went out of business. (nice of them to tell me)!! Austin was very professional, patient and friendly. I highly recommend them for any solar panel work should you choose to have solar panels installed.

Mike K | Nampa, ID | 08/11/2023

Great installation and service.

From start to finish and beyond EGT Solar has been great.

Ken Lenon | Meridian, ID | 07/17/2023

Great company

Very satisfying to work with a company that knows the Ins and outs of solar. Never tried to over sale. If your thinking solar, please give them a call.

C Boulton | McCall, ID | 03/14/2023

Excellent, a hard act to follow!

It can be difficult in making a choice for Solar installation, I can tell you from my experience this company is outstanding. From the beginning of sales to end of installation the team was knowledgable, honest, courteous, responsible and eager to assist and get the job done. I live in a rural area where it is hard to get help or workers. EGT showed up on time, brought a crew who hit the ground running. They worked all day with a short lunch break and the installation was completed within the time period they anticipated. The inspector from Idaho Power, who has monitored solar installation for many years, told me they were one of the if not the best installers of solar power in the State. " They're a good outfit!", he said. I agree.

Laurie Hynson | Star, ID | 03/08/2023

We purchased a solar array from SGT Solar 3.5 years ago. Their solar panels have been top quality. Whenever we have had questions or problems, they have been addressed quickly, and at no cost to us. The salesman offered complete transparency. We are satisfied and grateful for our purchase and their maintenence of our array.

Ralph Bacon | Boise, ID | 12/05/2022

Excellent System

Very happy with my installation and the efficiency of my solar system. Installed just over 1 year ago. Savings are more than I expected. EGT is good company to deal with!

Debbie | Nampa, ID | 07/17/2022

Professional and Knowledgable

We chose EGT Solar over Blue Raven because of the professionalism and knowledge that Steve Harrel presented. He was clear and concise, he provided literature and panel options. He answered all of our questions with ease. Installation of our solar panels, solar fan and battery backup went as planned and the workmanship was absolutely stellar. When the city inspection was done, our inspector told us "This is a clean and professional job and spoke very highly about the quality workmanship he observed compared to other companies". EGT Solar's customer service is great, they always answer the phone with a smile. Recently, I contacted them regarding our $500 Panasonic Rebate Visa Card which had expired. We had family issues and dealt with an out of state death in the family. EGT checked to see if Panasonic would reissue the visa card, however they could not. To our surprise EGT sent us a $500 VISA card which totally blessed us. We highly recommend that you use EGT Solar for all of your solar needs.

EGT Solar Inc is the best

December 2021 ALL of the folks were very responsive and easy to work with, they did not continually contact me about the project after plan submission. After looking at about 4 different company's this is the one i choose and it turned out that it was a great choice. The system was installed 12/2021 and as of today 5/2022 I am on my second monthe of NO POWER BILLS! From the time i contacted EGT the sales rep and all of the folks in the office were extremely helpful in answering my questions even when walking into the office, they even proposed several installations based on my questions and concerns. The Master Electrician and installation crew were some of the most wonderful and professional folks i have worked with. It is one of the best experiences when a crew shows up on ahead of schedule and gets the job complete with no issues and ahead of schedule. If you are looking for solar installation then I would recommend you choose this company the uses there OWN contractors and employees to get the job done. THANK YOU ALL

Excellent company to work with! | Eagle, ID | 09/05/2021

Efficient, Professional, Courteous

We consulted with four solar companies before choosing to work with EGT. Rob was knowledgeable and thorough as he presented EGT’s proposed layout. We had many questions, but Rob was extremely patient and empathetic with our concerns. Once we had made our decision, every aspect of the project went smoothly - and surprisingly quickly, including just two days for complete installation. Megan in the office was efficient, responsive and courteous and made us feel that we were a high priority for them! We await Idaho Power’s visit to inspect so that we can be solar.

Cindy | Bellevue, ID | 08/24/2021

EGT Solar is the best!

EGT was wonderful to work with. Bryan answered all of my questions and explained everything so well. They don't try to sneak anything past you in the fine print like the other companies that I got bids from. The installation was even faster than we expected and they take care of everything for you. Megan was also very helpful in explaining how everything would flow seamlessly and it did! Outstanding local company and I highly recommend them!

Deer Crest Dr., Meridian, ID. D | Meridian, ID | 04/10/2021

Quality product, prompt service, and delivered as promised!

I chose EGT because their CEO responded promptly, held to his bid. Also, the sales presentation was clear, fair and honest. When their tech rep was here to finalize the plan, he was knowledgeable, and thorough. The installation crew was equally thorough and finished the install as promised.

Mike | Boise, ID | 01/04/2021

They were very fair, professional and delivered as promised.

We felt their plans and recommendations made the most sense for us. They also were very honest about the process and set reasonable expectations. Service was impeccable from the outset.

The Place to go for Solar

We felt that our experience was professional from start to finish.

Robert Simison | Meridian, ID | 09/11/2020

A Great Customer Experience

The team at EGT Solar was great to work with throughout the entire process. From the initial inquiry through flipping the switch, they walked me through every step of the process. They took their time for me to make decisions, handled all aspects of the install, and provided several financing options to find the one that best fit our situation. They were professional and customer focused. You can't go wrong with EGS Solar.

Jason | Boise, ID | 08/31/2020

Great upfront -- Great follow through

Even Green Technology was great from the initial contact. Completely professional the whole process with transparent pricing and payback modeled out; I knew exactly how to compare vs other bids. Moreover, anytime during the process/install where I had questions, prompt reply/solutions were given/implemented.

Bhanu | Boise, ID | 08/26/2020

Home Install of the solar by EGT

Professional, worked with us on the install dates, instillation was done on time and was quick.

Mgrayson | Twin Falls, ID | 08/12/2020

Pleased

We were on the fence for getting solar. The rep kept in contact for a year, not being pushy. Dedicated! When we decided to go for it they were ready. There was a little hiccup with installing but that was quickly resolved. We now have a $5.29/month electric bill. Loving it!

Great Contractor | 08/10/2020

Excellent customer service

Great job! Everything was explained very well. Work was done on tine, in a timely manner, and project was left clean. They weren't the cheapest bid, but after spending 40 years in the construction business, I knew the job would be completed with out any issues. Love the five buck bill every moth from the power company!

Dennis | 08/10/2020

My Solar System

I have had my system in operation for nearly five months at this time. I have been very happy with the system. During the sales process I felt the EGT people were very open and answered every question. They provided me with all the information I requested prior to making a decision. I have found that their energy estimates have been very accurate and the energy I have been getting from their system matches their projections very well. During the installation, I found a point of misunderstanding between me and the sales person. Upon further review we were able to resolve the issue to my satisfaction. Their installation crew was courteous and accurate. I was happy with their on-site work. I have been pleased with the system and with the people in the EFT organization. I like their system hardware much better than hardware I had seen from other providers. I think they understand solar and offer a product that is more useful in more situations. I would definitely choose them again.

Tnick | Boise , ID | 06/02/2020

Great experience

They were able to provide a more efficient layout with less panels that were of a higher quality at a better price than their competitors. Everyone I dealt with from the office and install crew were great to work with as well. Communication was done effectively throughout the entire process.

Markus L | Boise, ID | 05/14/2020

Excellent customer service, good people!

Good company, very easy to work with. Crew was very professional. No pressure sales, very upfront. Highly recommend EGT Solar!

HappilySolar | 04/25/2020

Reliable and knowledgable

We'd been looking at several options for solar but at the end of the searching period, we decided to go with EGT because they had a local office, and for every question we asked they gave us solid, straightforward answers. When they came to do the inspections and install, everything was professional and very quick. It was great to just sign off on the work and have everything just come together.

Pat E | 03/31/2020

EGT Solar Review

Installing solar panels was a big decision for my husband and me because we are in our 80’s and 70’s, respectively. However, Bryan explained things to us so well that it made perfect sense, both environmentally and financially, and now we couldn’t be happier. The installation was quick and easy, even though there was a bit of a wait for Idaho Power to get the meter installed. The system has worked perfectly since it was installed almost a year ago, and our bill has never been more than the $5.22/mo. for metering. It’s been amazing! Thanks to Bryan and the EGT team for such a pleasant and outstanding experience.

welovesolar | Meridian, ID | 03/30/2020

Professional, trustworthy, efficient

We are glad we chose EGT for our solar system. They listened to our concerns and made adjustments to satisfy them. They were reliable and professional and treated us well. We love our system and enjoy watching how much energy we produce daily!

Jim Bertling | MERIDIAN, ID | 03/27/2020

My expectations were met or exceeded at all rimes

The design proposal was detailed but still understandable The permitting process was handled quickly and without a hitch Construction was done quickly and properly System go live was problem free The system performance is significantly better than advertised. I am visually impaired and required extra attention. This was provided very freely.

Sue-Nampa | Nampa, ID | 03/27/2020

Great People and Great Product

EGT Solar has been a wonderful company to deal with. We've had our system for almost two years and it is up and running and doing great. We have never had an issue with it and don't expect one! Everyone there has been great. They answer all questions immediately, plus they are continually giving us updates on what's new with solar energy and what the government is doing on that front. Highly recommend them for all of your solar energy needs.

Mary Eidson | Boise, ID | 03/26/2020

Excellent experience with installation of solar on my home!

EGT solar seemed the most knowledgeable. they have been around the longest with tremendous reviews. the also had the best equipment for a reasonable price with excellent guarantees. We could not be happier with our solar and their service. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in solar!!

John | Star, ID | 03/26/2020

Honest and professional

We interviewed a number of solar installers before choosing EGT. Many of them ranged from blatantly dishonest to outrageously expensive. We found EGT to be competitively priced, honest and extremely professional. They delivered everything promised and even installed the system much faster than their original estimate. As a further endorsement, even the county inspector said that he never finds issues with EGT installed systems. We couldn't be happier with EGT.

Satisfied Rural Customer | 03/26/2020

They really came through in the end!!

When we committed to EGT Solar for our project, we had a few bumps along the way. They were good to work through these so that we were satisfied. Our completed project is a large rural residential one. The overall workmanship was top notch, and the employees were trustworthy when on-site. In the end one of the biggest affirmations that we had chosen wisely in EGT Solar was the electrical inspection by the state. The inspector said they had gone above and beyond in all safety requirements. That really made us feel confident in our system. Thanks to Bryan and the guys for all you did for us!!

Mike | 03/13/2020

Good products and good service.

The folks at EGT solar provided excellent information about the total project including future compatibility with battery technology, reliability of the solar panels and even how to best attach the panels to the roof to mitigate flex and leakage. Presentation was low key and factual. Work was done quickly and effectively.

Southeast Boise Client | Boise, ID | 03/30/2019

Professsional Process

I choose EGT Solar because of their track record. I studied several other companies before making my decision and it came down to longevity and other reviews.

Mario Regalado | 03/15/2019

Highly Recommended

I researched three different companies before deciding on EGT. I am so glad that I did! Everything went as promised! The install was very professional and clean. Communication along the way was great. I highly recommend EGT for your solar needs.

Twin Falls Native | Twin Falls, ID | 01/22/2019

Excellent Experience

Many people in our neighborhood just got solar systems. We went with EGT and were very pleased. They were very professional and did not do a lot of "song and dance" during their sales pitch, but just stuck to the facts and gave us the information we needed. EGT ended up being a better price than the other quote we received. During the installation process, we were impressed with their professionalism and excellent work. We had an interesting chance to compare because the other company was installing across the street and we certainly felt like our installers did a great job and gave it a very professional look. Our system has been working great for a month now and we are very pleased. One other note is that we just spoke to two of our friends that went with the other company. Both of them told us they failed their inspection the first time and that their company had to come back and do more work. With EGT we passed inspection on the first try! Would 100% recommend EGT Solar and their Twin Falls team: Rob, Josh, and Gary. Thanks again.

Stevenson | Wendell, ID | 09/18/2018

100% Satisfied Customer Review

We are 100% satisfied with EGT's product, service and workmanship. They went above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely choose EGT for future projects. We highly recommend doing business with this company as they are honest, fair and their customer service is outstanding. 10 STARS!!

1Brian P. | Eagle, ID | 04/15/2018

Outstanding Work

I've been thinking about solar for awhile now and finally decided to pull the trigger after hearing the discussion of Idaho Power wanting to change net metering. After discussing my options with their very informative sales team, Bryan, we signed the papers. After discussing my power bills and taking a look at my available roof space, the team at EGT Solar started the permitting and soon after their install team was at my house putting up my new system. They were clean and did great work! After the system was installed they have been here for me to answer any questions I have and to assist with monitoring my system. One important aspect of choosing EGT Solar was that they are a local company and not pushy. I would recommend anyone looking at putting in a system to check them out. First Class all the way.

Pete A. | 02/16/2018

Outstanding!

Five Stars! Outstanding, friendly service. They were very friendly and helpful in answering all of our question. Their team members are all awesome, friendly and courteous! Great job, EGT!!!

About EGT Solar Inc.


EGT Solar was founded in 2009 in Boise, ID as only the 2nd solar company in the state. Here at EGT Solar we are a fully licensed Electrical Contractor which means we do not hire any type of 3rd party contractors to do any work at all. We do everything in house from showing you how solar works all the way to the installation of the system. So everything from start to finish is done by EGT. Most homeowners would rather have a single contractor do all the work rather then have it subbed out to who knows who... Right? That said we have a 5 Star Rating on all Media outlets and an A+ with the Better Business Bureau. We are a locally owned and operated company right in Meridian, one of the only truly local companies in the area have been going on 12 years now. We are heavily involved in charitable organizations and always strive to give back to our community. You would rather work with someone local, right? Now the reason I say EGT Solar is a "Truly Local" company is because the popularity and demand of Solar is constantly rising out here so now, we are seeing Solar companies from out of state like Utah and a lot from California are starting to flood into the area and set up set up sales teams. Now of course they can sale you Solar but when a sales team from out of state moves into a new area it is not like they bring install crews and electricians with them. So what they do is hire 3rd party contractors to install the systems and that is where you run into the biggest problems. That is why it is so important to us at EGT Solar to do all of the work in house where we have all the proper training and licensing, so we can always take complete responsibility of the quality of your installation. Rest assured that EGT's vast experience will create a worry free solar experience!
