Kamtech Solar Solutions

Avoid Kamtech at all costs

Krzysztof Kaminski, who owns the company, is the most incompetent contractor and businessperson I have ever encountered. Because he did my roof and solar, I've been stuck with Kamtech around roof warranty issues, which has been nothing but a nightmare. They don't supervise their workers, nobody communicates, and Kris is completely useless. They installed my gutter so it pitched all the water into my front door; they got paint all over my siding; they never finished the flashing around my chimney, which I didn't discover until I got leaks in the ceiling; and most recently, they sent two roofers who didn't speak English, hadn't been instructed about the job, tore off a whole section of roof that they were supposed to leave intact, and then walked off the job. Avoid at all costs -- it is the worst solar/roofing company in NYC!

They failed the sniff test...

I was excited to install a SunPower solar system on my house which has a slate roof. SunPower referred me to Kamtech and Dan came to my house for an initial evaluation. He was pleasant and assured us that with the system that he designed we would get at least a 36% reduction in our electric bill. If we did not, he told us that we would get a check for the difference. Everything was great until we received the contract which was one sided and poorly written. There was no business or street address or contact info for the contractor in the contract, indemnification was one way only, and no mention of the 36% reduction guarantee just to mention a few items of concern. I googled the Inwood address which turned out to be a thrift shop (they said that they are located next door, but there is no Kamtech sign on the building at all). And then I read the company reviews which were glowing several years ago but have been scathing the past few years. I spoke with Ben (sales mgr) to give him an opportunity to explain but he became indignant and advised me that mine was a small job and that he was too busy to speak with me. I am thankful that I did not give them any money and they showed their true colors before doing any work on my home.

Aesthetics and quality are at the bottom of the list for this company. Chris, the owner does not know what he’s doing or does not care. Kamtech workers were just dropped off at my house and left to do whatever they wanted to. No project manager was ever on site, if you care about how the solar panels and equipment will look after installed, do not hire Kamtech.

Scam

Kamtech solar is a real scam. Have panels for 3 years and they have never produced per contract. It has been 3 year of back and forth and going in circles, a lot of talk, no doing to help the bottom line. they got their 28k and im left paying for it for years.

Awful to work with experience has been just awful

Had roof reshingled and the shingles started coming up after three weeks they came to re repair and now three more weeks later I hear them flapping in the wind!!! Now that solar has finally been turned on most of the power for our house is still coming from the power grid meaning we will still need to pay an electric bill. We were explicitly told the solar would offset the electric completely . But here we are paying both an electric bill and a solar bill.
