Great Basin Solar NV

A GREAT COMPANY IN A CONFUSING FIELD

I interviewed several companies and Great Basin Solar was by far the most professional and client oriented - and the best deal financially. Joe did a great job of explaining exactly how the program works. Travis stayed on the phone with me until all of the forms were completed. Since then he has walked me through each step of the complicated process. Communication has been outstanding. And then there is the on-site installation crew. They were amazing. Then entire project was completed in one day. They were in and out of the house, garage, and, of course on the roof. When they left there wasn't a trace of trash or any other sign that they were here. I would recommend Great Basin Solar to anyone interested in creating their own electricity.

High Quality Installation Completed in a Timely Manner

My neighbor gave me rave reviews, so I had Travis come out to look at my house. Working with Travis and his team has been easy, and his installer crew were quality young men that made me feel comfortable having them work at my house. The install is professional looking, and all electrical devices are neatly attached to the house.

Super fast install

I received 2 quotes for a 5.3 kW rooftop solar installation in Carson City. Travis gave a thorough, organized, and informative presentation. The installation played out as he predicted, and his crew did an amazing and quick installation in 1 day. The system is up and running perfectly. I highly recommend Great Basin Solar!

Professional installation, easy process

Great Basin Solar, and Travis the owner, made the solar panel installation process easy and painless. Travis took care of all the permitting, from both the city and our HOA. Definitely recommend Great Basin Solar for your solar needs.

Professional, Competent, and Punctual

Great Basin Solar delivered as promised. They provided a schedule and scope of work which was completed on time. The NV Energy inspector who activated the system said he trusts Travis and his crew to do a professional installation. The 30 panel system is now up and running and producing electricity. The production is easy to track on the App that was provided. It all looks great too.

Going Solar

It was a long-time dream of ours and Great Basin Solar made it come true! What a fine team of professionals--highly certified and experienced. We could not believe how inexpensive it was. We expected our system to cost 3 times what it did. Travis is very easy to work with. He explains his proposals and models at whatever level of detail you desire and then follows through once you sign the contract. Everything happened within the time frames he outlined and he took care of all permitting and inspections, as well as the incentive paperwork. His team of installers are both fun and efficient. It took two days for them to finish our 22-panel installation. My honey has most of a degree in electrical engineering and is VERY PARTICULAR about what happens with his system. He loved these guys! Their work is clean, efficient, well thought out and thorough. Plus they play great 80's music and they are very happy! The system produces exactly the amount of power Travis modeled. The net metering/banking through NV Energy works exactly as Travis explained. We are so lucky to live in a net metering state. We also added an Electric Vehicle and the system easily accommodates our little Nissan LEAF. This was included in the design by Travis, in addition to our normal power use. We are so thankful that we went solar and stopped waiting! Our system is guaranteed by Travis for 25 years. He is a local guy who plans to stay in Reno and he takes care of his customers. (I also know people who are not his customers that he has helped with their systems, one of the reasons we chose him.) You can't go wrong with Great Basin Solar. In fact, we have 3 friends who now have systems designed and installed by this team and they are all happy.

Best solar company to deal with and the lowest quote

Local company with a vested interest in doing the best job for their customers

Completely Satisfied

All the Great Basin Solar personnel were friendly and professional. My wife and I love our system and look forward to years of electrical savings.

Don't hesitate to use Great Basin Solar.

We are very happy with our decision to go with solar. The team at Great Basin Solar made the entire process simple. They definitely know what they are doing, and we will use them again for future projects.

Excellent installation and consulting.

Great Basin Solar did a fantastic job consulting me and answering all my questions prior to, during, and after installation of my solar unit.

Very Prompt and Professional

GBS did a great job on the installation. The conduit runs are straight, the cabling is neat and all of the construction waste was cleaned up and disposed of. Well done! The system came up clean and provided power and communications as expected. The cost of the installation was well within industry norms and about 1/2 the cost on a kW basis of the door-to-door salesman that showed up one fine day. Yippee. Well done Travis and team.

Professional and efficient throughout the process

The team at Great Basin Solar impressed us with their desire to make the solar process easy for us. Travis communicated with us each step of the way, quickly answering any questions we had. Matt and Will were very thorough and professional in their installation and set-up. It was obvious that they enjoyed their work. We could not be happier with the results!

Painless Process

I had wanted to look into solar panels for our home for a while (in Nevada, how could you not with all the sun here). I was aware there were some incentives out there to do so, but that said, I still procrastinated on initiating the process after reading reviews for a few installation companies online that were pretty negative. I, like everyone else, want to avoid a negative experience. After I was contacted by a company out of state soliciting for solar installations, I think I made an open request using a solar website. Travis with Great Basin Solar responded fairly immediately after I requested contact. He initiated the entire process and it was great to deal with him. My fears with having solar panels installed were: the quality of the installation, the ease of it, and the cost of having repairs (among others). I identified these concerns to Travis. He was able to put me at ease - he works locally, showed me other installations and their solar panel activity online, stated he would handle all the permitting, etc., and explained to me how repairs would be made (the panels themselves are warrantied for a good while, 20 years I believe). Travis explained financing options, and ultimately I decided to have them installed. Matt and Will did the installation, and both were great to have (they listened to music at too low a volume in my opinion...). They were knowledgeable and seemed to have the installation done in half a day (super quick). Travis followed through and coordinated the permit process and the other checks needed, as he said he would. At NO point did I have to call the city or NV Energy, etc., because I was left hanging, and at no point did I have to call Travis and ask him what was supposed to happen next (he was thorough in what the process was). My system has been active for a few weeks. The system uses 22 panels. Something I thought was amazing... In the beginning, he showed me another install's solar panel activity, like I mentioned. Travis said he monitored all his accounts and mentioned he would likely notice a problem before I did, and send someone out to correct the issue. A few weeks ago I got home and looked at my solar panels' activity at a glance. I noticed one seemed to not be generating power at the level its brothers and sisters were.... I did not have time to notify Travis and ask about it. Ends up, I didn't have to - Matt and Will appeared the following day and asked if they could get on my roof to change a part out because they noticed the same thing. So, Travis was on it. He followed through with what he said, and I didn't have any surprises. One of my philosophies is to "say what you mean and do what you say," and I expect this of other people... Travis, Will, and Matt exemplified this. I'm confident if I have any concerns going forward that I can contact Travis and have them resolved. I trust him, and I put more emphasis on "trust" than your average person, we'll say. Thanks!! - The "Fuzz"

Solar

Travis and his team were extremely professional and thorough. The installation was completed in a timely manner. Couldn't be happier.

Super Professional and High Quality Job

Excellent! Smooth transaction. No B.S. Super professionals. Travis is very knowledgeable and knows how to squeeze the best benefits from your energy provider. The Great Basin Team of installers is courteous and know their trade to the bone. I have a 19 KWH system and works flawless. I've got free, instant, computer and phone access, every second, to my solar power system production. I can see the system's layout and every solar panel's output continuously. And not to forget: The Best Price in Town!!! Although we've got activated in December and the sun isn't great, I have already days when I'm generating more than I'm using. NV Energy will pay you cash for what you put in the system.

Supremely Qualified

We interviewed three different solar installation companies and found Great Basin Solar to be the most prepared and qualified company to design and install our residential PV system. Travis Miller spent significant time to move along NV Energy to complete the process with their meters installation. The installation went very smooth and efficiently and now we are currently producing about 14 kW a day (winter days) from our 3.57 kW system. As an alternative energy architect, I would strongly encourage anyone contemplating to install PV Solar to DO IT with Great Basin Solar.

Solar Installation and Design

Great Basin Solar, Owned and operated by Travis Miller, is a great mix of the smaller size company that gives excellent service, with a personal touch, combined with the sophistication, contacts, and quality professional knowledge of a larger company that I was hoping to find in a Solar Contractor. Travis adapted our existing tracker motors and poles to new more efficient panels and inverter, resulting in a perfect solar system for our situation. He was patient, helpful and knowledgable during the entire process and now we are seeing zero utility bills, with the ability to easily monitor the system and or each panel through an easy to use app. AND the price was very reasonable. We couldn't be more pleased!

Exceptional service and quality work

Travis Miller, owner of Great Basin Solar NV explained every detail and helped me to get the system that was right for me at an excellent price. Travis and his crew were prompt and efficient. Years after the installation I called with a question and Travis was there with the answer for me. I couldn't be more pleased. My system is saving me money every month AND I am feeling very GREEN.
