We really liked working with this company
We had a very positive experience with Sustainable Energy Developments when a crew installed a 14-panel solar array on our roof. The staff was friendly, accommodating, trustworthy and professional. Our salesperson was informative and not at all pushy. The project was delayed somewhat by our city's slowness to issue a building permit, but SED kept us informed and worked quickly when the permit came through. We are very pleased with the quality of the work done, the operation of the system and SED's attentiveness in answering our questions and responding to requests.

Great Companuy - needs to mature processes
They did well by us by the end of the project and we have an excellent system. SED cares a lot about installing a quality system. The company will get better as they improve their processes, notably scheduling of projects. Our system was two months later than initially estimated.

Congratulations for a job well done.
This review is brought to you by the power of the sun. It takes careful attention to many details for such a thing to happen. Everything from site planning to equipment selection, permit application, state and federal paperwork, financing options, array design, installation, use, monitoring needs to be done in an orderly, professional fashion in order to facilitate the actual process of making solar energy a part of your home's conservation plan. We installed a 7.1 KWh ground mounted Solar Array and went live on 5/1/2013. <br /><br />There are a lot of details! There are codes that have to be not only known about, but adhered to. Equipment needs to be procured. Local permits need to be acquired. Numerous site inspections are mandated by government agencies. Financing considerations need to be addressed. Even esthetics play a role in the decision making process. These people know how to do all this stuff.<br /><br />And make no mistake, this is some serious energy being produced. This array is not a big battery charger! We run the house on the thing! We needed someone who knew just exactly what they were doing and why so we could count on them to get it right the first time. The entire staff of Sustainable Energy Developments provided sound advice, excellent workmanship and an overall very pleasant experience during this project from start to finish.<br /><br />They have our strongest recommendation and we suggest they be included in your search for companies to do your next alternative energy project. And yes, they do wind power too! We may be looking at that next.
