Excellent customer service before, during & after installation

They are very good at what they do and I would highly recommend. A very nice touch was the phone conference a few months after install answering any questions I had and a chance to review the performance together.

Very positive experience!

Very positive experience! As an Aviation Flight Engineer I am very particular about installations and attention to detail. The installation team was well prepared and did a fantastic job. Everything was well planned right down to the clean up at the end. I am very satisfied, and would use Green Power Energy again on future projects

Great Company, Offering and Service

It was a real pleasure working with Green Power Energy. The were very professional, patient, knowledgable and attentive. I had many questions as I was comparing companies and their offerings and they communicated very clearly and helped explain both the technical and financial aspects very well. Their offer was competitive and their strong reviews and ability to work with their representative convinced me to go with them. Getting solar takes time and several steps, but every step along the way went according to plan and expectations. Even the process to register for TRECs had very easy to use instructions. My system has been online for several months now. I don't normally write reviews but in this case I was very impressed with Green Power and would highly recommend them.

Great Company

Very good experience with Green Power Energy. My brother had Green Power install his system 6 months prior and recommended that I speak with Sonny (his real name!) to get the ball rolling. My brother is meticulous, so I didn’t even look at other companies and was very pleased with the results. One thing I noticed right away with this company, is that they have the entire process truly mapped out and everyone in the organization understands their roles and responsibilities. I worked with Sonny and the Green power design team to layout just the right system for us. They were very responsive and provided great direction and feedback along the way as I learned more about solar. I would say I never waited more that a day for a response and mostly heard back within an hour or so. Sara (Operations Manager) was awesome and answered all of my questions along the way! I still ping her occasionally with questions and she gets right back to me. After the system was installed, commissioned and activated, Kevin walked me through everything I needed to know and answered any questions about the equipment and the TREC program. Truly great customer service. There were a few hick-ups along the way, but Green Power reacted quickly and resolved any issues. I think this speaks volumes about the company. They really do care about their customers, not just during the sales process, but also after the installation is completed. I know if I called them today with anything, I’d hear back right away. Really glad I chose them for my solar project!

Great local contractor

They were local to me and recommended by a co-worker. Their pricing was very competitive, they were very professional and easy to work with and did a very professional job with the installation. I am pleased with my purchase and will encourage others to reach out to them as the #1 solar contractor in the area.

Great Experience

Working with Green Power Energy was a great experience. We started with a consultation with Charlie. Charlie walked us through the plans for our specific array and helped us understand exactly what we were getting and how it was going to be beneficial to our specific needs. We then transitioned to the install where Mike and his crew were incredible. They were efficient and did a great job of cleaning up their materials once the job was done. This was a huge plus for me having two kids and a dog playing in the backyard all of the time. Once the installation was done, the electrical team made sure to walk me through how the new breakers work and how the array is linked to my network. Finally, we met Kevin were he explained the ins and outs of TREC’s and how to maximize our dollar. The central theme of working with GP is that everyone I talked to throughout my time with them was that they explained everything to help me understand what exactly I was investing in and to make sure that I was comfortable with what we were doing. I would highly recommend Green Power Energy to anyone interested in solar energy.

Look no further - this is the best solar company out there!

Outstanding is all I can say. I have referred Green Power Energy to three close friends and they agree with my assessment. The price was good, the product was great, and the energy production is exceeding expectations. They show up when they say they will and if anything happens they let you know. From start to finish they have been professional and very responsive. I had a couple minor issues and they bent over backwards to make sure I was happy. I am extremely picky and did allot of research on companies and trust me you will not regret choosing Green Power Energy. Even after my final payment, when most companies would probably disappear, they are still as diligent and as professional as the first day we met. Green Power's representative said, following completion of my project: "you are no longer a customer you are now our client".

Professional and straight forward Solar company

Great company. Peter the solar consultant was an expert and a professional, very thorough and detailed with how solar works and what options i had for my project. No third party, everyone i dealt with was from green power energy which was great. Installation went as planned, no issues, everything worked great, and all the information i needed to register was sent to me with clear and easy to follow directions. Follow up with Kevin who is the relationship manager was also very informative and also reassuring that I have a point of contact for whatever questions I may have moving forward. Overall great solar company, very competitive pricing, guarantee their work, and very responsive. If you're looking to go solar I would highly recommend Green Power Energy.

Good Quality and Value for Money

I got to know about 'Green Power Energy' when I was looking for solar quotes. I found their quote 'good value for money' and the industry leading inverter & panels too. They were prompt in terms of communication, follow-up. The system is performing really well and I'm happy I went with them for my Solar installation. I would recommend them any day for solar installation. One of the best in the NY, NJ, CT area

GPE was excellent!

Green Power Energy was great to work with during each phase of my solar install. From the initial consult through the post-installation follow-up, I could reach someone at GPE whenever I had a question (of which I had many) and I always felt confident that they were trying to help me invest in a product that would benefit my family - not just make a sale. Plus, all of this was completed while in the midst of a global pandemic! Kudos to GPE, if I had to do it all over again I'd choose them every time.

Great experience overall

I was referred to GPE by a work colleague. I got my solar panels installed and activated earlier this year and my overall experience with GPE was very positive. From the initial proposal to install to post-install GPE kept me informed the entire way and their staff was always responsive to questions. The installation was smooth and seemed like a thorough engineering job. The system has only been active for a few months, but so far, the system's yield matches or exceeds what they stated in their initial proposal. Their staff is courteous and professional. I would recommend them for solar panel installation and service.

simply AWESOME!

I was thinking of going solar for a long time but took the plunge earlier this year based on positive feedback from my friends and neighbors. I got quotes from multiple companies but what stood GPE apart from the rest was their expertise and experience in this field and not to forget their price competition. Peter Dunn was simply outstanding in going over all the details, provide guidance and answer all my questions (even at odd times). Installation was a breeze and everything went like clockwork. GPE kept me informed of next steps well in advance and notified me of all approvals promptly. The best part was the post installation follow up meeting. Kevin Nally spent close to an hour going over important details such as TRECS, inverter reset, meter readings, warranty, etc.. Special thanks to Peter Dunn, Will Miska, Kevin Marceski, Kevin Nally and the entire installation team for their outstanding service and "Customer First" mindset.

Great company, great results

Overall I had a very positive experience with GPE from initial contact throughout the whole process. There are some positives I would like to point out. First off, there was no sales pressure. I worked with Sonny, and I like how he jumped right to the point: what my needs are and what my options would be. No long stories about how awesome GPE is etc (which they are). Sonny kept me in the loop every step of the way, and called/texted me with all updates. All tasks were completed in a timely manner, and when Christine from operations dept took over, she stayed on top of UI and my town hall to minimize COVID-related delays during the system connection phase. GPE followed up with a post install meeting to make sure the system works and to provide me with additional helpful resources. Overall, I received stellar customer service and would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Outstanding Pricing & Service

I was very hesitant about going solar and cautious to say the least about what company I chose based primarily on pricing (LG panels in my case). GreenPowerEnergy was surprisingly able to beat all the competition (nearly 10 other companies across the state in NJ) and the icing on the cake was that they are a large company who has been in business for several years so I didn’t have to worry about them going bankrupt and not providing after sale service if/when needed. From the sales, design, engineering, install, and post-install care, my expectations were exceeded in every way. They are extremely responsive via phone and email at all times and were very proactive in getting my system up and running with the state ASAP. I have no regrets and can say without any reservations that if you are thinking about going solar, do not hesitate to choose GreenPowerEnergy over any other company. I am not the easiest person to deal with and I was impressed on all fronts with how they handled every incident and situation that came up along the way. Special kudos to Eric Dornfield, Tim DeSevo, Bridget O’Meara, Will Miska, Kevin Marceski, & Kevin Nally for their professionalism and attention to detail along the way.

Excellent Solar Install Experience

I shopped around but the positive reviews and prompt pre-sales responses to my questions made me decide to go with Green Power Energy. They kept me in the loop on the install status. Met all of their commitments (most of them ahead of schedule). Install team was fantastic, on time, clean and professional. Very happy with the experience.

Transparent and helpful from the start. Peter, unlike other salesman, was open about the best layout for my home as well as best financing options. Very informative about the true cost of solar loans as well as some faults of common solar set ups. Took a significant amount of time to educate me about solar, not just sell.

Great Experience, No Hesitation Recommending!

Green Power Energy was recommended by a friend and I found the end to end experience to be very good. They provided lots of information along the way and communicated with me step by step. There was very little I had to do, they took care of basically everything and checked in to make sure things were going smoothly along the way. All of the paperwork was handled by them including permits and township followups and they did a post-install walkthrough to make sure my wife and I understood how the system worked as well as the TRECS process. I would certainly recommend them without hesitation and will likely use them again.

Got the Job Done Well at the Best Price

Just turned my panels on last month. Interacted with a couple different people in the process. Each of them was very responsive, professional, and got the job done. Obviously, I just turned the panels on but everything seems to be working fine so far. Got the best price from them and they explained everything very thoroughly (and I can be a pain in the butt with to many questions). Unless something terrible happens you can assume things are A-OK in reading this post as time goes on.

Professional, expedient and flexible.

I had the pleasure of using this company recently to have solar panels installed on our roof and detached garage. The sales and administration staff were very responsive and able to answer any questions we had about installing solar and everything that comes after. When the crews came out for the actual install they were very polite and expedient. The end result looks fantastic and they put you with a liaison for any further questions you may have regarding the solar system. I would highly recommend anyone looking into installing solar to use this company

GPE Solar Satisfied

Like most, I was overwhelmed by the various energy contractors, panels, inverters, costs, savings, etc when embarking on my residential solar project. I turned to EnergySage in an effort to drill down each provider's approach from sales > design > installation > after-sales service. The answer immediatley became very clear: Green Power Energy was the perfect fit for me. In addition to having a sellar pre-sales experience with Tim Desalvo, he never disappeared after signing on with Green Power Energy, despite having an entire team supporting my project. I was fortunate enough to have my PTO (permission to operate) 90 days (!) from contract signature - which was pretty remarkable considering this was initiated during the COVID-19 outbreak. I've been producing solar for 50 days now, and have already enjoyed a $4.99 PSE&G electrical bill for my first month (the peak of summer season) and the utility's minimum amount for distributio. I am also on track to generate 2.0 MWh by the end of my second month! Incredible. Kevin Nally came out to meet with me personally a few weeks post-install to review the system in its entirety, answer any questions, and provide me with a personalized binder of everything related to my system install. Following state certification by NJ Clean Energy, Will Miska provided me with highly detailed, personalized instructions on how to register for PJM-GATS and NJ TREC in order to earn and cash-in on my TRECs for solar production. It was white glove service from start-to-finish. And it's never "finished," as GPE provides continued support for the life of the system and I have the confidence they are always a phone call or email away. I certainly compared local/regional partners with national partners and the choice was abundantly clear for me. GPE could not have been more efficient navigating the public utility company, my local municpality for permitting, and NJ Clean Energy to ensure the most efficiently executed solar project. You certainly won't encounter that with a nationwide provider, as other customers will attest.

Response from Green Power Energy

Thank you for this thought-out review. We are very pleased that you found the perfect fit for your solar provider in Green Power Energy. Tim is an awesome representative to work with. Thanks for all of the information on how your system is performing so far, it is a great example on what solar can do for your home and energy bill! We are glad that you found each part of our process helpful and efficient. We certainly will be here for anything you may need in the future as continued support! Best of luck with your system!
