REVIEW FOR DAVID KOWALSKY/KASSELMAN-S0LAR

REVIEW FOR DAVID KOWALSKY/KASSELMAN ELECTRIC-SOLAR 10/02/2022 David Kowalsky stands head and shoulders above other sales representative personnel we worked with in deciding upon the solar power company to select for installation. While representatives from other companies were competent in explaining processes of installation and power production, these were essentially salespeople who had worked in other fields—were astute and dedicated hawkers—but paled next to David, who not only has an engineering degree from Georgia Tech but is also a committed and practiced environmentalist. Our primary aim in purchasing solar panels was not simply to reduce our electrical bills but to contribute to the reduction of climate change. Thus, working with an experienced and devoted environmentalist added an element of communality and trust in our decision to select Kasselman of Albany. The entire process was a matter of trust. Kasselman is an electrical company in business in Albany since 1946, inducing confidence since it was not a neophyte operation tethered to a start-up impulse. Kasselman delivered fully on all aspects of the project, never falling short, but rather fulfilling everything as described and promised with unerring regularity and timeliness. Communications were lucid, congenial, reassuring, unfailingly polite, and supportive, and we were never disappointed. We have been supplying Consolidated Edison with our excess power since the panels went up in April this year and owing the power company nothing. From sales information, beginning with David Kowalsky through installation and activation, the experience has been exemplary, Gary Schwartz Croton-on-Hudson, NY

Great experience working with Kasselman

We chose Kasselman after interviewing a hand full of other solar vendors in our area. We were particularly impressed with David Kowalsky, their design engineer. David is very knowledgeable and the whole process was very straightforward. We got exactly what we discussed and the our energy output is even higher than we were promised. The project manager, Rob, and the installation crew was also very professional, enthusiastic about their work and did a great job very and were very quick about it. It was all around a great experience and we highly recommend David Kowalsky and the entire Kasselman crew.

It's easy to be green

I had previously met with a few "big" companies. They all wanted to lease the equipment over a 25 year period. Kasselman came in with a purchase option spread over 20 years at a lower price. System performing better than estimated. RE

Nothing short of amazing

If you want a family level of respect and not a corporate I dont care about you attitude go with Kasselman. From the start of my project with the initial call I felt like I mattered. The Receptionist, to the sales advisor (who handled all of my questions and concerns with class), to the install crew ( Who were all professional and beyond friendly). These guys are the ones you want at your house. This experience has made me realize the old school family run attitude of business still exists. However they train their staff should be the benchmark.

very professional

Everyone I dealt with at Kasselman was professional and personable. I started the process with David Kowalsky, PV Design Engineer, who patiently answered all of my questions and helped me figure out what size system I should get. There was no pressure at all and I never felt like I was being sold something. His approach was more as a consultant and much less "salesly' than other companies. For the installation stage, I was assigned to Nick Coveney, Project Manager. He returned all my calls promptly, was flexible in scheduling the work and stayed on top of things the whole way. I always felt that Nick was looking out to make the installation go as smoothly as possible. Even their roof inspector was helpful beyond what he needed to do for the project. After the installation was completed, I got a call from David when he saw that the weather forecast called for a storm with high winds and he wanted to make sure I added the panels to my homeowner’s insurance policy. From start to finish, these folks proved to be exactly who you want do business with. I highly recommend them.

What took me so long?

I discovered Kasselman through a yard sign in Roscoe. Called them and Marc came by with his drone and advised me well. Now I have 17 panels on the roof plus the electric vehicle charger and producing lots of electricity. The best thing is passing filling stations and driving on my very own solar energy! The Kasselman experience has been wonderful and I now ask myself “what took me so long?”. It’s such a no brainer: saving the planet & saving my wallet! I can definitely highly recommend the company to anyone considering solar energy. They’re the best!

Great Service and

I reached out to Kasselman Solar when I saw that one of my solar panels had a production issue using my monitoring app. The service team had noticed the issue and already contacted enphase for a replacement. The service rep, Emmanuel confirmed that I was on the schedule and within 2 days after my call, the service crew came to my house and fix the issue. They did a very good job and was pretty quick.

Professionalism, Design, Customer Understanding

I went to three different providers before choosing and commiting to KS. Kasselman Solar (most specifically David Kowalsky) took his time to go over design, pros and cons, advantages, tax incentives, etc.. They take the installation from end to end. Including permit and utility company integration. So in other words, you put the roof and they take care of the rest for you. Speaking of roof, did I mention my Roof wasn't new and in it's last licks and they also took care of that too. Definitely pleased with their service and I am already looking at credits with my Electricity Bill. What's not to like?

Top of the line 8.3 kw system

Kasselman Solar was top notch from start to finish. David Kowalsky, my Pv Design Engineer was a pleasure to work with. He was on top of everything. The quality of the product and the installation is 10 out of 10. My system is 8.3 kw and has cut my utility bill in half.

Excellent Company

Kasselman was terrific. Starting with James, PV designer and engineer, all the way to the electricians and workers who installed the system. Professional, courteous, and always there to answer any questions and make sure you were satisfied. Every step is laid out for you and you are always aware of the progress being made. Our Town Code Inspector commented they were the most efficient and professional company he has dealt with. We tried a local solar company. World of difference. Kasselman is the way to go. I very highly recommend them.

Great Solar Company

I chose Kesselman because it's a local company with a long history delivering home electrical needs. They were fast and efficient in the installing the solar panels and also fulfilled my request to make the wiring as obtusive as possible. I have had the system for 4 years without any problems. I also got $500 rebate for referring a friend, who also installed their system and has not had any problems.

Top-end hardware, professional conduct, competitive pricing

Kasselman was responsive, professional, worked diligently and timely. Their price was among the best but their quality hardware was above the other comparable offers. They got the permits and the work done in record time. I recommend them and will use them again in the future.

We Had A Great Experience With Kasselman Solar!

From start to finish we had a great experience with Kasselman Solar. Our salesman, Dave, explained all the local, state, and federal incentives—not to mention how 2019 is the last year for “NET Metering” which is big reason why this is a great year to buy solar. As soon as we decided to go ahead, the Kasselman crew kicked into gear by developing our engineering design, obtaining the Town approval, and coordinating with National Grid. The entire process from our initial phone call to commissioning our system took less than two months. All the relevant documents and signatures were handled electronically which made the process totally painless. Our project manager, Allison, has great communication skills and kept us informed every step of the way. Finally, our installers (Cody, Josh, Jason, Ian, Derek, Tim, and others) took great pride in their work and gave us a very CLEAN installation.... Looks great and works perfectly. Highly recommended.

We're Thrilled with Kasselman Solar!

From our first contact at the Albany Home Show, on a blizzard of a day when everyone else was tearing down, Kasselman's reps stayed an answered all of our questions. Since that fateful day, we have used Kasselman's talented staff for two solar projects so far and will use them for many, many more we have planned. Great design, great installation, great project management and great follow-through after the sale. We couldn't be happier.
