Everyone I interacted with at IPS was great! I would recommend them to anyone I know that was considering a PV system.

Slow responses to questions. Several delay glitches at start of installlation. Net metering not well explained at contract time.

Everyone from the company was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, prompt, and professional. Only thing with the net meter is that the electric company required it be clearly signed. Once I let the solar company know. they took care of it.

The sales, contracts, and installation staff were very professional, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. Contractor charged the net after utility rebates but I did not get the 30% federal credit funds until paying my Quarterly Estimated Tax.

Sales team was great but it took some time, even 5 days one time, for the project manager to return my call project inquiry call. The installation team of Nicholas, Jonah, & Davis were very professional & very understanding of the complex integration requests while a non-IPS project was simultaneously underway. Sales coordination by Natha in purchase incentive process was very professional & she was excellent in her follow-up on document deadlines, etc. Sales lead, Steve King, with his laid-back professional sales approach was quite instrumental in my decision process. I felt comfort that he would make sure the project would be completed with integrity.

Our experience couldn`t have been better or faster. I`ve recommended your company and Nick to some neighbors and some have said they were seriously considering moving forward. We appreciate Nick`s dedication to solar and his professionalism. He`s knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. Thanks you so much, we REALLY appreciate it!

The installers were the best. They worked with me to place the equipment in a location that worked best for my space. Very pleased with the installation process.

Comments: Our experience workign with IPS was excellent. The entire IPS crew (sales manager, construction manager, construction crew, electricians) were VERY knowledgeable, always willing to explain what they are doing, very polite, and very responsive. We can highly recommend this company for solar panel installation!

The system seems to be performing somewhat better than projected. We will have to wait to see if inclement weather evens things out in the long run.

I have never experienced the high level of customer service with any company I have dealt with. I have done 3 major remodels so I have worked with many companies. They are very knowledgeable and explain the system and its operation and design very clearly. they are very dependable and follow through with their word or notified me why they had to change the schedule. they are very enthusiastic about what they are doing and a pleasure to work with.

IPS made the Climate Smart process very easy. Their customer service and communication was outstanding. Many of our neighbors are now currently having PV systems installed by IPS upon our recommendation.

I was very happy with the work done. I even changed my requirements part way through from the Fronius Datalogger Web to the Egauge.NET unit, and they came out and installed it. Very Satisfied! Independent Power Systems handled everything. They even brought financing from Sun Power to the table, which was one of the key factors. Local Utility payed $ 3.50/DCWATT which made it possible.
