Salesman was very convincing in how they operate and guarantee their service in comparison our neighbors solar service. As well as the benefits in pricing. Hopefully the benefits will follow through.

Zero stars is more accurate. Do NOT hire this company. Their sales reps will say anything to sell you a system and if even one thing about your install is not standard they will mess up at every step along the road. I signed up for my system 11 months ago, I still don't have a complete system (rough inspection, final inspection, utility approval, and activation all still need to take place) I've been paying on my loan as well as for a full electric bill for months. At this rate I'll be lucky if I have a working system before 2022. Take a look at the complaints on their BBB account (https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/provo/profile/solar-energy-equipment-dealers/ion-solar-llc-1166-22338175/complaints). I'm not alone. Not sure how they're A+ rated. Most of the resolved complaints were not resolved satisfactorily for the customer.
