Solar panels installation

We installed solar panels on our flat-roofed stucco house. Kasselman Solar did a fine job, from the initial help we got from its salesperson, Mark Bomba, to the final installation itself and the assistance from Matt Christian, our project manager. Everything went very smoothly. The system is up and running well. We haven't had any problems.

Latest bad review thumbs down

DrawB | Craryville, New York | 08/28/2022

AVOID

The salespeople are not upfront, promising that the system we installed would cover 121% of our electric. It covers about 80%. The costumer service is horrible. They don’t monitor the system as they promised. Whatever you do, don’t let them talk you into a battery. It’s just an overpriced backup generator. So sorry I used this company.

Professional, Highly Capable and Thoughtful

The experience was seamless. Many times you go into these large projects not knowing if the partner you select will live up to expectations. From the initial inquiry to the planning all the way through installation, this was a very comfortable experience. At no point in time did we feel they did not have our best interests in mind. Our install was a 72 panel array with trenching and all the things inbetween. They did a tremendous job from our project manager to the guys on the ground. They were thoughtful about our property and made sure they minimzed any impact to the land. From the electricians to the installers to the guys doing the trenching to the PM and the upfront sales folks; they are top quality and you can feel assured they'll do the job right for any sized project.

Downtown Albany residential roof | Albany, New York | 09/29/2023

I'm day 1 after activation of my system and unfortunately a cloudy day so haven't been able see full performance of the array but the interface and monitor system is very slick! The communication of the sales team and crew was very good. They answered all my questions about the process and worked with me in outfitting the best array for my application. 4 stars "on schedule" as we were delayed some in the the outset of the project and getting the project finished. This is partly my fault too though as we had to rectify schedules. Communication good throughout. 4 stars on installation quality because there was some scrap installation materials left on my roof. Not a lot of material but a little messy though not a big deal.

PERFECTION

This is the kind of review I love to be able to write! My experience with Kasselman and every employee I had the pleasure of working with was pure professionalism, punctuality and personability. In other words: PERFECTION. I’ve waited to write this until my system was fully up and running so I could give a comprehensive review. It’s working like a charm. From my first phone call with Samantha to set up the meeting with my sales guy, Peter Gonazalez, to the visit from the site technician, Jason, to my project manager, Brandon, to my project foreman, Ray, and their electrician, Alec, and the four installers, Ryan, Laquan, Chris and Rodger, everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, on time, and just amazingly good at what they do. This team literally does EVERYTHING right down to the tiniest details. I researched four companies, met with three and ultimately chose Kasselman for their phenomenal reviews and BBB accredited A+ rating and just how buttoned up their process is. And I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The entire process was painless, seamless and, dare I say it, actually FUN. I don’t particularly relish having contractors in my home but they were so thorough in cleaning up after themselves it was almost as if they’d never been here. And Peter showed up after everything was done to take super cool drone footage of my project. Solar is a big investment and my efforts toward finding the “just right” vendor took some time but, hopefully my review can help lessen that effort for anyone else looking to do solar. Make your life easier and just choose Kasselman—you’ll be happy you did

Excellent Solar

Kasselman Solar was a great company to work with. Professional at every step, clear and regular communication, and they handled everything. The system works very well and is offsetting most of my energy consumption. After I update my ancient water heater, I will generate more than I use most days. The app which monitors production and usage is helpful, letting me see my system anytime. Highly recommended!

Excellent Install

Excellent communication, Install did not result in any technical issues or accidental damage. System is working well. Permits obtained as Kasselman had promised Project took some time but certainly understandable there are many moving parts as far as other work that needed to be done related to the project but not done by Kasselman such as trees trenching roof etc. I definitely would recommend this company for your solar install.All aspects are covered and there is excellent communication as previously mentioned

Shaun | Pelham, New York | 01/11/2023

Very happy with my solar panels!

Kasselman was one of six solar companies I contacted and was the one I chose. Based on my energy consumption they suggested 16 panels. I said why not fill that side of my roof with panels, as many as you can fit? Which turned out to be 22. Which is great, because when I get an electric car I still won't have to pay for electricity. And tax benefits pretty much cut the cost in half. They kept me apprised every step of the way (and my village's building inspector took only a couple of days to turn around the paperwork). There was one glitch but it was minor- they were waiting for something from the building inspector, but when I called him to follow up he said no, just go ahead. I signed my contract mid-July and before the end of August we were up and running (Con Ed takes about a week to approve turning on the system once it's approved by the electrical inspector). Way faster than I expected. So far for Sept-Dec the panels have produced 21% more than Kasselman's estimates. So I'm thrilled. May never have to pay an electric bill again (except for a $19 a month connection fee). Happy to answer questions if anybody wants to email me (as long as I don't get overwhelmed with emails) Shaun@BrainChampagne.com. Oh, one more thing- the inverters they chose were the current generation. I didn't know it at the time but the company that was my second choice would've installed inverters that are one generation older. The ones they used, from Enphase, come with an app so you can see exactly how much you're producing and consuming, in 15 minute intervals. You can even look panel by panel if you want.

Great job!

The whole process was very smooth, the job got done incredibly well and there was constant communication throughout the entire thing. We has a large job that required some additional roof supports. It was completed in less then 2 days with such grace and attention to detail. Everyone I came into contact with was always very friendly and eager to answer any questions I may have had. Absolutely recommend. I will try to remember to attach a photo to this review at a later point because it is very slick and beautiful looking.
