Future Energy Savers

Full year of Solar

In August of 2022 we had our solar installed by Future Energy. The installation was done in one day and they explained and showed us how our system worked. We downloaded the app so we could see our system working. Many times, we had concerns that our system was not working properly, and we called, and left a message and got a response quickly that they checked our system on their end, and it was working properly. During a couple of power outages during the year our battery backup was able to power our home for the time we needed it. We were thankful on the nights of the outages that we could still have lights and our TV on. Unfortunately, due to the rising cost of power we have not saved much during the cold winter or the hot summer days. When we decided to install solar panels, we looked at what we were spending on energy and figured that with the monthly cost of the solar and the cost of power from SUMD we would only increase our energy cost by $50 on the months we use more energy. Again, due to the rise in cost we are paying more for our energy than we ever imagined and the cost of solar has made it difficult for us most months. We do like the system and having our battery backup when it is needed. We do wonder if we should have had more solar due to the money it is costing us for power. It has been difficult to get through to someone at Future to ask these questions. Hopefully we will be able to get a hold of someone and get more answers.

Knowlegable and friendly staff

Solar rep Dale Groat, stop by my home on a cold call. I don’t normally speak with solicitors but, on this day I allowed Dale to make his pitch. My average usage wasn’t very high but, I decided to give a solar a shot anyway. As I understood, the costs/ payment on the new solar system would essentially average out to be the same amount I was paying PGE monthly. While working with the Future Solar staff I found them to be knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The process start to finish took about 4 weeks, and this included but, was not limited to the paperwork, installation, city inspections and PGE connectivity. Upon receiving my first full months PGE bill it appeared for the same period from last year, to be an estimated reduction of $140.00. However, the Net Energy Meting (NEM) charges appear to have accrued for this month and showed a balance of $80.32. So, I believe the real tell tell story regarding the cost savings will be more apparent once I receive the “true-up” bill in July 2020. I am looking forward to seeing what my overall costs/ savings will be once I receive my true-up bill from PGE in July 2020.

Dropping the Ball

Future Energy Savers has a great product I just gotten it waiting for my first official bill from SCE on Solar but it taken us so far 71/2 weeks to get the PTO from SCE cause FES drop the ball on submitting the Net Energy App. to SCE so I'm with a high Light Bill and it's no problem but mines. Oh yeah I paid them for there sytem so why would they be concern about me. Product is good the processors of FES need to be considered . Maybe cause I live and Texas and my property is in Rialto, Ca.So what concern is it to them
