BUYER BEWARE SCAM COMPANY

Buyer BEWARE of this SCAM company. They actively do the Bait & Switch for their ads. Even if they put it in writing that you will get a $1000.00 rebate check from their company, YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT THEY LIE. Also, do NOT click the button stating the installation is complete until you verify with your Power Company that you are connected to the grid. I was coerced into stating the install was done. This starts the countdown for starting your loan payments. After the 2 month grace period before the loan payments started, I am still NOT connected to my power grid. I made my 1st loan payment today and I literally have solar panels on my roof that are NOT connected to my energy grid. So now I have to pay a loan and an energy bill. I am actually dealing with the CEO Robby at this company. I am getting the run around, I am being told their proposals mean NOTHING. So if you are promised something in a proposal according to CEO Robby is means NOTHING. I have a text message from him that states their ads mean nothing and their proposals mean nothing. So before you agree the install is done, get your rebate check from them in your hands or you will never see it. Make sure your are connected to your power grid or DO NOT AGREE IT IS FULLY INSTALLED. MINE IS NOT 6 MONTHS LATER. Then CEO Robby said he would also give me $190.00 equal to 1 months loan payment for the inconvenience. And 2 months later NOTHING. And yes he is tyring to get out of paying me what he personnally promised me too, go figure. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING ANYONE AT THIS COMPANY SAYS OR PROMISES YOU. YOU WON'T GET FUNCTIONAL SOLAR AND YOU WON'T GET YOUR REBATES. THEY ARE VERY GOOD SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!

No contact after the sale.

I have repeatedly tried calling and all I get is a recording with no follow-up on their part. How do I get in contact with these people? No matter how good the product is, if you don't have customer service, it doesn't matter.

Worst customer service ever

Worse customer service ever! my system went down in April of this year. it took almost 10 weeks for them to fix and i had to fight to get someone on the phone. customer service is a voice mail that no one returns. i had to call the financing company that financed my solar to have someone from green home systems to contacted me after i threatened to stop paying. this is the second time my system went down. also, the owner contacted Yelp and had some of my reviews removed. i was updating via yelp because that's the only thing he cared about was the reviews. honestly... solar is a scam! the amount that's produced vs what you pay for them is not worth it at all! and by the time you pay them off they're outdated and only producing "80%" of the newly installed or so they say. its a pain to try and sell your home with solar. it doesn't increase the value of your home and the buyer has to assume payments of them if they want to buy the house. i was told by the company the lean can be temporary removed to sell then paid off. not true. and getting youre roof fixed is a nightmare. its just not worth it!

$4,000 owed to me due to company error

Green home systems made a mistake with the total cost of our system, amending the original loan amount for an extra $4000 to install supports in our attic then later told us they mistakenly got the wrong house, and we didn’t need the supports. When I asked if we could put the loan back to the original amount, they said they couldn’t do this, but that they could reimburse us the $4,000. This was 4-5 months ago. I have not received a check. I keep being told that they would look into it when I asked about it. Now I cannot get ahold of our project manager, or anyone live to speak with at the four other phone numbers I have called. So, basically this company has stolen $4,000 from me.

I had a hailstorm total my roof and solar panels. We had a long journey getting the roof replaced so we could get the solar panels replaced. My dispatcher for GHS, Cedric Anthony, was as professional as it gets. He was there every step of the way guiding me and pulling the strings to get the job done. His assurance and honesty probably helped keeping me from losing it a few times. Cedric, I hope GHS realizes what a gem they have in you. Thanks RN

We appreciate your confidence in Cedric. He definitely does a great job in customer service. The hardest part of the customer service process is communication and Cedric is constantly keeping in touch with our customers. Thanks for the good words.

Green Home Systems, Inc. is a Terrific Solar Company!!

I couldn't be happier with Green Home Systems, Inc. Their no-pressure salesman, Itai Hazan, was incredibly informed, and gave me excellent advice. He's a truly wonderful person, and GHS are lucky to have him! I love my solar panels, especially the money they save me, and I've even gotten a few checks from the power company! I also enjoyed the people from Otto Electric, who installed the panels for me. They were so fast--everything was done in about a week! I would definitely recommend GHS to anyone who is serious about solar energy, saving the planet, and especially saving money! Green Home Systems is the best!!

Response from Green Home Systems

Dear Sherry, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the benefits of our Green Home Systems.

GHS DOES NOT PAY INSTALLERS

As many other posts on here have stated, we worked as installer for GHS. Everything was great until it was time to pay! They owe upwards of $16,000 and refuse to respond to texts, emails, or phone calls. *INSTALLERS BEWARE, DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY* I have reached out to Jesse, Cat, Armine, Isaac, Rain, Accounting, the supposed office manager, and the answering service.

I have never had a negative review for any business except for Green Home Systems. I thought that I made a good choice to go solar with GHS because of their good reviews. However, I have had a very bad experience with them. Not to mention the payment issue, then I paid the system in full. There were lots of issues but I will only mention a few. They delivered the wrong solar panels, and the installers damaged my roof then they took the tiles from other parts of my roof to replace the broken tiles at the solar installation areas. They also tricked us by gluing the broken tiles together. Regarding the paperwork process, they were unprofessional and irresponsible. They submitted the NEM application to the SCE in March but put the wrong information. I became more frustrated and exhausted after they changed the project manager, Evelyn Talavera never updates the client regarding the process, she never answers the phone, never returns calls and/or replies to the emails except when higher-ups are involved. Therefore, I called the SCE on July 14 to get myself an updated PTO status and found out that the application is pending due to missing the Final Inspection that was passed on June 2, 2023 (1 and ½ month ago). I called/emailed Evelyn as well as her supervisor Rain Barclipt and Irina Helm to request uploading the Final Inspection to the SCE. On July 26, 2023, I spoke to the SCE and again found out the Final inspection submission was the incorrect document. I made several calls and left voice messages, no one from GHS (from customer service to the supervisor/manager) answered or returned my calls as well as replied to my emails. It has currently been over 6 months since contract was signed and It’s been almost 2 months since the city inspection passed (June 2, 2023), but they have not submitted the correct document to SCE. The NEM application is pending review and the PTO is pending for approval because GHS delayed submitting the correct documents. Due to all of this, I am suspicious of their 25 years Triple Guard Warranty/All Guard Warranty.

Response from Green Home Systems

Dear Ann, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have faced with your solar installation. Your project manager, Evelyn, has been in constant communication with you throughout the entire process, ensuring no extended periods of silence. She has been actively addressing your concerns, while Irina has provided invaluable support every step of the way.

President NAACP JOHNSTOWN BRANCH

As part of capture team representing NAACP Johnstown Branch, assessments were made in reference to recommending solar for local residents. It was determined that roof top systems could not be recommended. Although I owned a new house, I installed a ground mount array to prototype such an array for older structures. Immediately I saw benefits in ground mounts for maintenance and general access. I found fully recommended Green Home Systems for ground mounts. I also recommend Johnstown as a major opportunity for installing residential solar as ground mounts. Alan Cashaw
