Latest good review thumbs up

Michelle | Laveen, Arizona | 03/12/2024

I received a call that one of my panels was offline. The rep patiently helped walk me through the steps to get it back up and running. As well as answered all my other questions. He was friendly and helpful! Elevation Solar is the way to go.

Latest bad review thumbs down

Don | South Pasadena, California | 01/11/2024

Elevation's PV array & battery install

3 stars due to a Jekyll & Hyde experience. The installers are very good (5 star) but the office work is atrocious (<1 star). The design work lacked attention to detail and the document submission for city building approval and Edison interconnection request was sloppy. This implies serious and needless schedule delays. The absence of communication is frustrating almost beyond words. But the price was reasonable and the installed system, at long last, runs great! In the end, I can recommend them but only with reservations. I should note that several of my neighbors have recently experienced similar woes for PV arrays + battery systems at the hands of different installers, so maybe it's an industry thing.

Long Service Times

Sales, installation top notch but i've had a problem with the microinverters since September. I'm now on 4 months and its still not fixed. A tech finally came out mid-December but stated he needed to come back. The scheduling department was supposed to call me to book a time but never did. I called back to Elevation and they couldn't come out until mid-January. Half of my panels have been down since September. Was promised a better customer experience. If I ran my business like this it would fail. Servicing needs to improve.

Long wait for repair and service call

We had an issue with several of our microinverters not generating power since September 20, 2023. We notified Elevation of the issue and requested service and repair in early October once it was clear this was an on going problem. As part of decision to go with Elevation, we were advised that customer service was a priority and we were also advised to add a warranty. We were very disappointed when Elevation informed us that they could not send a repair person until after mid-November to determine the issue. In the meantime, our entire system went down so we only partial to no solar power for a period of 2 months. As a result we 2 very expensive APS bills we had to pay. I was informed by the service repairman that the delay in getting to us was due to a lack of resources. We feel that we were misled by Elevation related to their customer service given the wait to get our repair completed and the costs we incurred.

Installation team and sales person did an amazing job

The sales person, Jesse, did a stellar job explaining the ins and outs of everything. He made buying Solar easy. Once installation began crew 5 did a professional job installing everything. I’ll update the review once production starts.

Ridiculous | Las Vegas, Nevada | 10/24/2023

Horrible, not one thing went right

Where do I even start. Sales guy Jason Taylor came out gave an estimate etc.. I signed all the paperwork May 2023. Installation was canceled two times and was finally started 8/29, they broke a ton of tiles on the roof and couldn't finish the install they said they would be back 8/30, never showed up. I called Elevation because my texts went unanswered they said they'd be there the next day on 8/31, I advise they left a mess, screws and metal pieces all over the place and I have dogs that are walking around, Kassandra advised they usually come 2 days later to clean up. I said the installer told me they'd be there the next day and I didn't know about the mess until I went out side.. They never showed up on 8/31. I texted Kassandra multiple times with no response so I called Elevation back on 9/1 talked to Kassandra again she said they'd be back monday.. They did come back Monday but the mess was made again after I cleaned it up. I texted Kassandra they made another mess and some of the metal and screws went into my pool and received no response. I texted again as they said this was the best way to get a response on 9/5, 9/7, 9/8, 9/9,9/11 and received no response for mess and when is activation. NV Energy came and approved the install and took off the tab so the power could be flipped from NV energy to solar. I continued almost daily trying to get an answer by calling and texting because now I am getting a bill from NV energy and I am paying the solar bill. I called the sales guy who brushed me off tole me to call the office, I said I have been and been texting no one is getting back to me I can't afford to pay both bills anyone living in Las Vegas knows the electric bills are 500+ a month. Its now mid October and I finally received a text from Karen saying shes been assigned to my account. She advised I needed to call NV energy because they needed to sign off on another inspection. I called NV energy they said everything is completed on their side. I called Karen back and left a VM that NV said everything was completed. Days went by again, its now NOV and I Karen text me asking if I heard from NV energy, I replied that I left a VM and they said everything is done on their side. She replied she'd check with a supervisor... Now its DEC I texted NV energy said its ready, I've been paying both bills since Aug I need a resolution. No response to multiple attempts.. Now its January Karen advised for me to send her a copy of the bills I paid and they'd send me a check. I sent Aug-Nov as Dec was not issued yet. I did receive a check for Aug- Nov. Now its Jan.. still no solar still paying Electric and solar payment, I am texting calling asking for a supervisor... Finally the end of January they tell me they heard back from NV Energy and they will be coming out shutting the power off and then activating the solar I need to call and make an appointment and let Karen know the date and time. I called NV Energy they advise that's not how it works the electrician needs to call and make arrangements with them. I left Karen know what I was told and she said she'd check with her supervisor. weeks pass by now its February I finally get her on the phone again and she said they're waiting NV energy, by now I am just fed up. I called NV energy they said no one has contacted them the only notes on my account was from me calling. I called Karen back and left a voicemail that this needs to be resolved or they can come get the panels I've been dealing with this for over a year and several of my neighbors have had solar put on and turned in in 45 days we are at 9 months. Of course my neighbors were smart enough not to go through Elevation Solar. Like a miracle 3 days later the solar was turned on and I get a 700 bill from NV energy for turning the power on and off and the rest of my electric bill. I texted Karen I have a bill from Dec, Jan and Feb for over 2300 total can I be reimbursed now.... No response... Well its now March, I get a bill from NV energy for 20$ like I was told I would "handle fees" or what ever you want to call it. April no response from Elevation about the refund, May no response and a $200 bill from NV energy.. Now its June and I get a 250 bill from NV energy for overages, July, Aug, Sept I get a bill.. Its now Oct another bill $249. I call NV energy ask why they said using more than putting into the grid. I googled elevation to get a different number to call, 866 258 4381 talk to Robert he said some panels not working as well as others, he called solar edge to make adjustments. I adv why they were set to under produce in the first place? I was told I didn't need to monitor etc. He said its my responsibility and they can send a tech to see if I need more panels but it will cost $150... Um you still owe me 2300$ and I've been paying 180-280 every month in electric plus the solar bill which is more than if I just kept electric... I just can't... dont use these people. They is zero customer service, no care or concern for their errors. They do not use good contractors they break things and leave a mess. Nothing the sales guy said was accurate and he wouldn't help resolve anything and stopped taking my calls.

Bob's Place | Miami, Arizona | 10/12/2023

After the sale

I ran into a problem with my system. I called and talked to Jose and he contacted the manufacturer about the issue and in no time a decision was made to get me going. I over 6 years, any issue I have had has been cared for promptly. I highly recommend doing business with this company. Great from start to finish, and the performance of my system has been exactly as designed. A couple of bumps in the long road don't mean much when someone cares. Happy Bob

Customer service review

Elevation Solar installed our system five years ago. Since then Elevation Solar and Enphase have always provided great customer service. Timely and polite. They calmly answer my questions regardless of how basic they may be. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

Elevation Solar doing a good job

So far, Elevation Solar has done a great job. They obtained the interconnection agreement with my utility within 5 weeks of contract signing. It took awhile for them to get permit approval, but that was the fault of the County. The County was holding up the permit because they wanted a new drawing of my septic system and leach lines (they wanted something other than the hand drawings from 1984). Well, that is not Elevation's fault. The septic system had nothing to do with the ground mount solar which was 150 feet away from the septic system. I went down to the County and spoke with the person holding up the permit and she was just totally unreasonable. Good thing was she retired the next week and we were able to get the permit approved the next week thanks to a reasonable County employee who said a new septic/leech field drawing was not required. Once the permit was approved, Elevation scheduled my install for 5 weeks out. I was very happy with the quick install date. The installer showed up on time and has done a good job so far with the install. It should be completed in 2 more days. Antonio from Elevation Solar is very helpful. He keeps me informed of the status of the situation and is very conciencious about his job and very polite.

Worst experience

Install was fast.. turning on system is what took the longest. Took about 10 months after install for anything to even turn on. Since it’s been on it hasn’t worked. Technician was sent out and nothing has been fixed. Currently waiting on technician to be scheduled.

Finally got it all working

With Antonio's help my solar monitoring system is finally up and running. He was persistent in following up with me and getting techs scheduled to come out and evaluate the problem and get it resolved. I appreciate his dedication and persistence in getting my system up and running.
