A Nice Solar Panel Installation

Jacob | North Newton, KS | 12/27/2023

Great local company

Great local company, everything with our installation went perfectly and I would recommend them to anyone interested in solar.

Pat Monahan | Wichita, KS | 11/21/2023

Great Solar install

They had no problem driving into Wichita KS to do our installation. We're very informative and helped us choose the best option for us. We had no difficulty at all getting Evergy to sign off and hook us up to the grid. When conferring with Evergy to set up inspection they were very glad to hear who did the install. We highly recommend them.

JHartley | Caney, KS | 05/13/2022

Top notch turn key

Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I can't say enough good things about my installation. The stuck to the quote when things didn't go as smoothly as planned.

Dillon Noller | Wichita, KS | 07/27/2021

Above and beyond all expectations

We shopped around for solar installers and King Solar had everything we wanted for a great price. Mark, Adam and their entire team were excellent from the design stage to project completion and beyond. They really care and it shows. I can’t recommend them enough!

Great job

Excellent job. Very professional and experienced. Completely happy.

Dan | Augusta, KS | 05/29/2021

Great company to work with

We had been looking to add solar to our home for a few years and I received several bids or had contact with several different companies to include King Solar. Mark with King Solar took the time to explain every question we had so we understood what was involved and he made sure he understood what our goals were and what we hoped to accomplish. There was a clear difference in the attention to detail and customer service we received with King Solar compared to others. When the time came for the install King Solar went above and beyond to make sure we accomplished our goals with the system that was installed. The crew showed up on time and communicated when they would be there and what they needed access to. Everyone at King Solar we dealt with was professional and courteous. King Solar exceeded our expectations from start to finish.

Evelyn | Newton, KS | 05/18/2021

Great

Everyone was very professional, but most important was that they let me know what was happening or not happening each step of the way. I had checked with another company but then Gayle Funk told me that her father had put a system in the house that they now live in and that it still works fine (since 1988).

LEG | 05/14/2021

Great experience. I would recommend them to everyone.

Mark is very knowledgeable and helped us put together a great plan. His crew was terrific with the installation and kept us apprised thought the process. We could not be happier.

Jonas | 04/20/2021

great company

Easy to work with from start to finish. Every King Solar employee was top notch, and able to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend King Solar for both solar and home battery/backup.

Paulette Harp | 03/26/2021

Professional and personable

King Solar has an excellent crew with an excellent product. All the paperwork and fuss of having a system set up with the local utility was handled on their side. The system was in place in a morning's work, and all inspection clearances were also handled by King Solar. I signed paperwork and stood outside watching the system go up on my roof and cheering all the while. I can monitor the system's functioning online, as can the folks at King Solar; any trouble-shooting will be a quick affair in regard to communication. As we move into summer, I will begin to really reap the rewards and am very pleased with this upwardly mobile company.

King Solar Excellent - Wel | Augusta, KS | 02/05/2021

Absolutely The Best

I heard about King Solar on NPR-KMUW and thought "What the heck? I'm going to give them a call." Instead I sent an email and got a response back the next morning. Mark-owner contacted me and was very polite and patient to answer all of the questions I had at the time. We emailed back and forth once or twice and then decided to dig just a little deeper into the possibilities. I sent Mark a record of our electric bills for the past several months and "Wa-La" the next day I had an estimate for how much energy we could produce, how many panels we would use and even a photo of our actual house with the panels superimposed over the roof. Perfect. The coolest part, we could supply our house and my shop with all of our electrical needs via solar. From that point on... I was "in." King Solar did the rest. They competed all legal filings with the utility company, came out when they said they would and completed the job on time, on budget and will monitor it for the life of the system. It's still all new, but at this juncture.. we couldn't be happier. King Solar is an exceptional small company. If they ever go public, I'll invest. These are good folks to work with, every person with the company has been friendly, polite and above all else, professional. Cheers to Mark and the other Mark, Adam and all the rest. Thanks King Solar!

Johnny | Wichita, KS | 12/06/2020

First Solar Panels in my neighborhood

It was great working with King Solar. I looked at four different solar companies and I am grateful I chose King. I’m glad to have partnered with a local company that has been serving the Wichita area for a long time. King offered the largest system at the lowest price and I know that they will always be around if I ever need them. Thank you King. Having solar on my house is a dream come true.

Corey Swertfager | Wichita, KS | 11/22/2020

Excellent, Honest Advice and Service

The folks at King Solar provided excellent advice about various solar options and even talked us out of installing more solar panels than we could utilize. They responded quickly to our numerous questions. We are very pleased that they procured high quality solar panels that were made in the USA at a reasonable price. They were so committed that they even worked in the snow, wind, and cold! We really appreciate that King Solar is a locally owned company that we can trust to be around for years to come.

Rjackson | Valley Center, KS | 09/22/2020

Customer service was exceptional!!

Was referred to them by a neighbor.

Dusten | Augusta, KS | 08/25/2020

Great Company

King Solar was great to work with. Mark and Adam were very patient with us as we asked a lot of questions and changed our minds a few times. Communication was great, and they stood by their quoted price even though there were unforeseen hiccups that had to be overcome. I would recommend these guys in a heartbeat. System looks great and is performing as advertised.

Grubb Solar Array | Newton , KS | 07/02/2020

AWESOME group of people!!!

We chose King Solar to be the company we wanted to do business with because of their Honesty and Integrity. Mark and Adam were in sync from day one and that meant a lot to us. Our wants and needs for our solar panels were discussed in detail. Mark showed and explained to us where the panels would be installed to be most effective. He answered all of our questions completely. When the work began, Adam and his team took care of everything!! They left our property just as clean as it was when they started. They were so helpful and made sure to include us in anything that pose questions. I am NOT a person that will recommend just any company, however I DO RECOMMEND KING SOLAR!!!

Horn's Auto Repair | Newton, KS | 04/24/2020

Wonderful Customer Service and Installation

King Solar did a fantastic job of educating us on the benefits of solar and giving a very thorough estimate of what would be best for our business. After we said yes, the installation and continued customer service was perfect. We highly recommend King Solar to anyone interested in finding out more about becoming solar powered!

Tom | 01/26/2020

They're very professional. Top notch job.

Kinda picked them out of the blue without knowing much about them but when talking to Mark, it wasn't like he was trying to "sell" to you. Other companies that I had talked to seem to push you. Glad I chose them. Very happy with their work. Only thing is that I wish they were close by. But that didn't seem to stop them from doing a "timely" job and I'm sure that if I have problems, they will be here.

Solar project at Nordic Stone | Bel Aire, KS | 01/10/2020

New Solar Power at Nordic Stone

Met with Mark and he came up with a correct sized system for my current and future Solar needs. Mark spent the time to look at many possible options and together we came up with a system that was on-time and on budget. His install crew was on time, professional and the finished system is beautiful. I liked that i was working with the owner of King Solar and that they were big enough to handle my commercial solar project and yet small enough to care about explaining how and why solar was a good fit for my company. If you are thinking about a solar project i cannot think of a better company to get it completed on time and on budget. Scott Bishop Owner Nordic Stone Bel Aire KS

Abilene Farm | Abilene, KS | 07/16/2019

Great service

I wanted to take a minute and let others know about King Solar. Our relationship began In 2012 With King Solar educating my wife and I on the different options for solar systems. They took all the time we needed and answered all our questions. The time they took made us very comfortable with installing a system and having King solar as our installers. Installation was professional and prompt. Most importantly to me has been the service after the sale. Mark has been very responsive to all request for information and resolving any problems that have occurred. If you are considering a solar system you can’t go wrong with King Solar.

remove and reinstall panels for new roof

all was done per agreements and timely.

R J | 01/28/2019

Great service and a great product!

King Solar represented their product honestly and delivered what they promised. Their installation process went very smoothly. It is so great to see the savings that we receive with each monthly electric bill and look forward to many years of a clean and fordable energy on our property. I would highly recommend King Solar if you are considering a solar installation.

Mark was thorough with his explanation. Was always on time. And installed when he said he would. The installers were polite and prompt

King Solar and Mark Horst were exceptional to work with - everything was on time and in budget. I can highly recommend them for your Solar Array needs.

Eug | 02/22/2017

Capturing photons

Being a physics and chemistry teacher, I was looking for a chance to reduce my carbon footprint and save money at the same time. I had Mark and King Solar do the instillation of a 22 panel system on my shop. I have easily saved at least 50% on my electricity bills which equates to about a 10% return on my investment.

55Chevy | 02/20/2017

My solar looks so good!

Mark Horst made me a Schletter ground mount system. It is simply classy and something i am very proud of. Theres not many times a guy makes a bid and over-produces your expectations. I am sooooo happy with my system! Mark travelled and was so professional when working with me. I will say he is just great. He knows his stuff and i think you get the point. Mark Horst is great!

Jay Hawk | 02/20/2017

Kansas best Sunflower solar installer!

Mark Horst is incredible! I have installed many solar panels and yet i will pay for his experience and expertise. He was just class act and fair as possible very first bid. I asked for a few specials and he found specific roof connections, an inverter with room to add batteries and the setup was well executed. If Mark will come to your area, hire him. Period.

Excellent product

My wife and I purchased four KING SOLAR flexible solar panels and mounted them on the pergola of our chalet in St. Martin, FWI. They feed an amazing flow of power into eight 6-volt batteries and our inverter/charger. We have been both surprised and pleased at the amount of power they produce. During the day they recharge the batteries. In the evenings we draw power from the batteries for light and our electric ceiling fan. But they are recharged the next day. On cloudy days we supplement their power with a small propane generator. The panels are light-weight and easy for us to manage, move, setup, and store. We consider them a real value and are pleased with our purchase. The service provided by the KING SOLAR staff has been exceptional, swift, friendly, and helpful. Paul Dietterich

Outstanding Team!

Mike and his team were professional, prompt, and extremely helpful in explaining the setup and deployment of our rooftop solar panels. They also showed up to do the installation as promised and completed the entire project on time and on budget. If you want to install solar panels on your home or business, this is definitely the company you want to have do it. I give them my highest recommendation, and I am not that easy to please.

Wholesome Meadows Farm loves solar energy

King Solar has been a great company to do business with. They communicated the process well all along the way, did a great installation, handled the process with our Utility Co for a 'net meter' account & followed up well. They are a pleasure to work with!

ktmart70 | 09/29/2015

Great investment

Very professional and knowledged! Installation was quick and on time! The whole process was hassel free. Mark was very patient with our questions and was hands on throughout the process!

4K solar panel free standing

King Solar did a very good job installing my free standing 4K system. From estimating the size I needed to drawing out the excavation pattern to helping me install the concrete foundation to letting me help in the paneo assembly to checking the system to making sure it was functioning correctly. They quickly responded to my text messages and phone calls and I would recommend them.

Owner

Mark Horst with King Solar was very professional through out from the beginning of the sales call to the final installation. He is very knowledgeable and conscientious to get the best deal for the consumer.

Good installer

King Solar (KS) was the most professional group that bid our project, and I am glad I went with them. Everything was at or above the level expected with the exception of some follow-up issues with the rural electric cooperative (REC). The REC mis-communicated how the metering would work based on my needs, and I had some significant, unexpected costs as a result. This was not entirely KS’s issue, but my understanding was the installation to power-up was a turnkey solution. I expected they would own installation through completion which was not the case as I had to battle it out the REC, solo. I really expected KS to understand what I needed and work/intervene to make that happen. To be fair, I am not sure KS’s interaction would have changed the end result, but I would have looked at this differently had they tried. If I had another solar project, I would certainly put it out to bid and consider others, but KS would have a leg up. The performance of the product is at the level expected after two months.

Professional Installer

King Solar provided excellent service all the way from initial inquiry to final checkout. Highly recommended!

Kelmark | 07/26/2014

Happy Customer

Mark at King Solar was very nice to work with. Very professional in every aspect of the process. Clean install and performs as he estimated. Very happy with our decision to use him.

sigpaw | 07/16/2014

SIX Stars!

We were up against a very tight deadline, to be grandfathered in to Westar's original Net Metering plan. Mark's expertise and credibility made this all possible and in record time! Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Very prompt and easy to reach. His support is a MUST for anyone attempting to install or add to a system.

PK | 03/05/2014

I would highly recommend

Mark is very helpful and kind and wise. I would highly recommend him and King Solar.

chunter | 03/02/2014

Hunter solar installation

We couldn't be happier with our new solar installation. Even thinking of expanding it. We would highly recommend Mark and Nick to anyone. The follow-up has been exceptional. This was the first experience I have had where the savings from the estimate were returned in the form of a donation to our favorite charity. These people care about the performance of the installation and your level of satisfaction. First-class company. Charlie and Lynne Hunter

no more electric bills. One concern, my computer often disconnects with the online page. Can you help me with this again.

Doone | 11/23/2013

Two years and counting!!

Two years after our solar installation by King Solar, we have offset 11.2 tons (yes, tons) of carbon, and generated 16.2 MWh of power, enough to power 534 houses for a day. We anticipate payback in just under 10 years at current electrical rates. Our only cost - a monthly tie-in fee. King Solar embraces a business model that brings a high degree of technical experience and competence accompanied by excellent customer service and accommodation. King Solar worked closely with us to determine our energy needs, and to locate and install the panels for optimum power. They have continued to stay in touch, which we appreciate. The fun part now is the connection to enphase. We can, at any moment of the day, observe our panels in action!

kurthorst | 11/06/2013

Hesston Solar Instalation

King Solar's service in working with the local electric company (Westar) and the details of installation were great. The system has worked so well since then that there hasn't been the need for additional work. It has certainly been great to get those electric bills that include no charge for use of electricity!

KendraK | 11/06/2013

Prompt, honest, and trustworthy

After we decided to get solar PV, Mark was prompt about installation. He explained it completely to me and the system is doing everything he said it would do! We generate almost all of the electricity we use and it's been VERY rewarding. I highly recommend Mark's work!

Steve Heyen | 11/06/2013

George Heyen Baker Street power plant

Our system is somewhat shaded by our own trees, but Nick and Mark made me very aware of the implications to the output of the system and we chose to proceed anyway. We could not be happier with our decision.
