Full Spectrum Solar

Absolutely first class people, technically highly qualified, with exceptional customer relation skills. The solar power system resulted in a 68% decrease in our electric bill over the average for the prior ten months. I acted as my own General Contractor, I prepared the plans, obtained the building and zoning permits, I self-performed about 40% of the project, including excavations, concrete, all buried electrical cable, new elctric service.

Mark and Burke O`Neal are two of the most careful and helpful contractors we have met. They were willing to present and discuss many options before we finally sined a contract and work began. A delay in completion was solely due to delays in supply of PV panels from the manufacturer. Burke and Mark also installed a thermal collection system for us, and integrated it with backup geothermal heat pumps, but this form permits only an `either-or` choice, not both. They did just as great a job at that as they did with the PV. I would rather work with Burke and Mark than almost any of the contractors who did other work for us. They listen, respond with ideas and choices, explain the options, do fine craftsmanship, and will change or make additions as needed during installation. They are highly ethical and capable people. Attending the Midwest Renewable Energy and Sustainable Living fair in Custer, WI, 2 years in a row was immensely helpful and solidified our concepts of what we wanted and roughly how to go about it for building a new (close to zero-net-energy) home.

great expertise, we learned a lot by working with Full Spectrum Solar

My only issue is that the `payback` estimated period (~17 years) before installation now seems significantly different than that I now estimate using one year`s actual production figures (25-30 years). However, this was not what I was most concerned about, but leaves me a little at a loss why the big difference. The contractor had an explanation`(shading of some trees was more than he estimated), but I still wonder about that.

Full Spectrum Solar works easily with customer needs and has very knowledgable people who answered all our questions.

Focus on Energy renewable energy program co-funded a detailed site assessment - so I had really good upfront information. My system also provides underfloor space heating. My purchase was prompted by my ethic and the family culture I grew up in of using the earth`s resources carefully. I help run Wisconsin`s renewable energy program - so I am aware of how to fill out the incentive paperwork.

Light Energy Systems was a great contractor to work with. They are knowledgeable and professional but also friendly and flexible. We wouldn`t consider even asking for bids from another contractor.

The basic reason I installed the PV system was as an answer to the Iraq war and my little help to spare the environment. Light Energy Systems helped explain options, were very honest, finished work as described and helped with both the state`s grant application and the net metering contract. I would use them again.
