I hired Good Energy Solutions to install a PV system on our home with SunPower solar panels. I was the first to install solar in my neighborhood and they were very helpful getting HOA approval with an aesthetically pleasing system design.
After nearly 7 months I’m pleased to report that the performance of our solar panels have been good since our system was activated in the fall of 2021. The panels have withstood Kansas weather including high winds, hail and snow and have generated 9,569 kWh of electricity which is 102% of our home usage. That includes the electricity to charge an electric vehicle. Other than the standard charge to remain connected to the grid, we have effectively erased our electric bill as well as the bill to fuel one of our cars! Our home value has increased significantly as a result of the solar project.
Customer service and installation were excellent. From the very beginning when we sat down to design what we wanted on our house, to the installation that was done quick and professionally, to finally the thorough follow up we get, even to this day!
I haven't thought much about the panels since they were installed 18 months ago. They just work and I see the results on the app. I thank my neighbors for telling me to check out Good Energy Solutions. The install was well planned and executed. Strongly recommend!

Good Energy Solutions - 4KW installation in Overland Park KS
GES completed a complete 4 Kilowatt system at my house in Overland Park. They worked with me regarding sizing the system, panel layout, and rectifier location. They submitted permit applications to my local utility and the City of Overland Park.
The installation was performed very well, and I am pleased with the system performance. I highly recommend GES for your needs.

Outstanding experience
Generally you pay for what you get. I am a very picky person and interviewed 3 solar providers before settling on GES. I don't regret the decision and have nothing but positive things to say about every step of the process from initial consultation to commissioning. I would caution however orientation matters a lot. I have 14 panels on west side and 8 panels on the south so I only generated 6.707kWh last year where if all oriented south would probably produce 8.866kWh.
Reply from Good Energy Solutions: Thanks for taking the time to review Good Energy Solutions. So glad you chose SunPower...It costs a little more upfront but the long-term value is the best! Congratulations on going Solar!

We love our solar panel!
We recommend Good Energy Solutions. The representative was very helpful going over the options, and the crew worked diligently on the installation. In a few days we had flipped the switch, and we were generating our own electricity. Even on a partly cloudy day, we generate enough electricity to pay for the clothes dryer, and on a bright sunny day we are selling electricity back to the grid. In the words of Greta Thunberg, "You must unite behind the science. You must take action."

Professional, efficient, and courteous!
Helped us walk through paper work, city electrical permits, and did a very professional job. Our chief city electrician stated that of all the solar installs in the city this was the best done.
Reply from Good Energy Solutions: Very cool compliment from the Chief City Electrician, thanks for sharing Aaron! We appreciate your business and congratulate you on going solar!

Professional, experienced staff for a quality Solar experience
I was impressed with the knowledge and patience of walking us through the options and details of our solar installation. As a Residential Architect I recommend contacting Good Energy Solutions to my clients that are interested in the possibilities of a solar installation. I had solar installed at my home and office in 2017 and am proud to be part of the solution of sustainable energy solutions.
Reply from Good Energy Solutions: Great to hear from you Mark! Thanks again for choosing Good Energy Solutions and for sharing your experience of the performance of your solar array installed in 2017.

Good Energy Solutions is the logical choice for solar power
I had Good experience overall with Good Energy Solutions. The entire crew was friendly and professional, and worked hard to address all our issues to deliver the best solution. They were able to use SunPower technology and also installed a whole house backup generator. We would do it all over again with Good Energy Solutions if the opportunity presented itself.
Reply from Good Energy Solutions: Congratulations on becoming #PartOfTheSolution Marjorie! We are excited that you are now experiencing the joy of creating your own power from the SUN. Thanks for the kind review.

Fantastic company
We had done a lot of research about solar but still had several questions. We had spoken with another local solar company prior to Good Energy, and they were much more interested in selling us than answering our questions.
However, Good Energy answered all of our questions without pressure and made us feel incredibly comfortable with our decision. They even suggested we install a slightly smaller solar panel system because it would fit our needs better, despite the fact this meant a smaller sale for them. The installation was well done, and they answered numerous email questions that I had in the days and weeks after the installation. Our system has been up and running about 9 months now, and I couldn't be happier with it.
I usually try to support local businesses as much as possible, and Good Energy is no exception. I cannot recommend them highly enough if you are even remotely curious about installing solar.
