Green House Solar

installation is 2025, everything went wrong

I could write a book about my negative experience with this company. But I am spending so much time fighting with Green House Solar that I have little time to list all the negative issues here... Briefly, I have been an electrical contractor since 1987, when I obtained my NJ state Electrical License. Although I am an experienced contractor with a five-person crew, having my company handle a solar installation at my home would take it away from servicing our regular customers. So, on the recommendation, I contracted with Green House Solar. I explained exactly what I wanted and how I wanted the wiring installed to the salesperson. The issues began as soon as I reviewed the engineering drawings, which contained many mistakes and were not in accordance with my requests. I was assured it would all be taken care of during the installation since this is a “design-build” project. As it turned out, everything the salesman and the owner told me was bull. I found out 4 days before the installation day that Green House Solar was subcontracting all the work to another company, Skyline Solar. On the day of installation, a crew showed up with trucks bearing no company name; they knew none of the specific details I requested, and they knew nothing about installing the decorative skirts on all three sides of all the arrays. They did not have the skirt materials, so they could not be installed and could not finish this part of the job. However, despite the job not being done, the owner insisted that I make the 3rd payment listed in the contract when the job was complete. Despite my frustration, I agreed to pay part of that payment… A few days after the partial installation, I found out their office personnel's last day was the last Friday of 2025. Soon after, I received an email that Green House Solar was winding down its business and that my job would be handed off to another company, and I would need to enter into a three-party contract. Since the system was installed, I scheduled the electrical and building inspections, the post-installation letter, and permission to operate from the electric utility. All this is Green House Solar's responsibility, but since they were not doing it, it did. When the panels were installed, the system was turned on, commissioned, and then set into standby mode awaiting the utility's permission to operate. It is now three months later, and the system is still not complete or turned on… I still have not received the three-party contract to review. I feel like Green House Solar took the money it could and has left me hanging… Stay away from Green House Solar.

Delays, Poor Workmanship, and Broken Promises

Greenhouse Solar Review — Delays, Poor Workmanship, and Broken Promises We had our solar system installed by Greenhouse Solar in September 2024, and unfortunately the experience has been extremely disappointing from start to finish. Before installation, I asked whether the panels were actually in stock. I received no response. Then, on 8/26/2025, I was informed by Lee Oelkers that their regular panels were out of stock and would be replaced with a different brand. On 10/1/2025, after a night of high winds, we heard loud banging on the roof. Greenhouse Solar came out the next day and confirmed panels were loose, securing them at that time. On 12/2/2025, we were notified by NJ ADI that our paperwork for the state rebate was incomplete due to missing serial numbers on the power box. At the company’s request, I opened the power box, photographed the serial numbers, and sent them in. Then, on 12/10/2025, the company admitted an error on the New Jersey state form and asked me to re-sign corrected documents. I did so, and shortly afterward we were told the state would now require a site inspection. On 12/18/2025, after a wind and rainstorm, 38% of our panels stopped functioning. When I called Greenhouse Solar on 12/19/2025, I was told the panels would “fix themselves.” The following day I received another email insisting it was not an installation issue. On 12/21/2025, I emailed back disputing that microinverters “self-repair,” requested service, and received no response. I then sent a corrective-action letter giving seven days to reply. On 12/24/2025, a salesperson told me they were busy with end-of-year installs, but still no official response from the company. On 12/26/2025, I finally received an email from Lauren stating a technician would be at my home on 12/31 between 8–9 a.m. No one showed up. My calls and emails went unanswered. Later that day I received a new email saying the visit was moved to January 6th, and that Lauren would be leaving the company on 1/2/26. Bottom line: Greenhouse Solar changed equipment after the sale, performed poor-quality installation, mishandled required New Jersey paperwork, and repeatedly provided inaccurate information — including claims that failed panels would fix themselves and confirming an appointment that never occurred. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.

If you’re reading this review it’s not from a customer point of view it’s from a Green House Solar employee point of view. The organization greatly lacks and so does communication and trustworthiness with the customer. There are plenty of better solar companies out there for homeowners to pick. Sun run, Sunnova, Trinity, Infinity Energy are all companies that have been around the same amount of time or even longer and they have 10x the amount of reviews. So you do the math. Why does Green House only have 20 reviews in 10 years. I could go on for days but it’s up to you the consumer to pick so hopefully this helps you make a decision when your looking through reviews.
