Do NOT use Kota for your solar needs

Please do NOT use Kota for your solar needs. Their internal business processes and communication are terrible. After a one hour site survey, three men showed up to install solar panels on my tile roof, just to have them leave 5 minutes later telling me that they couldn’t install solar panels on my flat tile roof. You heard that correctly, a solar panel broker that doesn’t know how to install solar panels on a tile roof. Kota’s first quote was based on their lidar heat map software, and that estimate was way lower from the revised estimate given to me by their operations team. Then, after I was informed that they were “afraid of breaking tiles on my roof,” I was given yet another estimate. Three estimates later, a cost increase of almost 80% from their initial estimate, the signs were clear that they didn’t know what they were doing and I needed to find another solution. How many estimates was it going to take before they felt confident they could do the job? For the thousands of dollars you’re going to spend on your home, do NOT use this broker. There are many other options so find an actual roofer and please don’t let this startup company Kota experiment on your home’s roof. Walk away. Feel free to send me a direct message and I'll share more about my awful experience.
