Overview of Longhorn Solar, Inc.

Longhorn Solar Mission: To make solar accessible to anyone who desires it by providing the best products at the best prices and installation by the most qualified TEAM that exists. We achieve this mission by: 1. Doing extensive research on the products that we provide to give you the peace of mind that you are only seeing products with a Tier 1 rating and have been vetted for bank-ability. Bank-ability is important because a warranty from a company that is out of business is worth nothing. 2. Using our buying power to get the best price for the best production. There are some panels out there that claim to be a better product because of higher efficiency. Higher efficiency does not equal better. It equals more expensive. In the end, higher efficiency means they produce more electricity in a smaller space for a higher price. To make solar more accessible we have chosen slightly lower efficiency for a lower price. 3. Employing the highest trained staff in Texas. Longhorn Solar invests in training at every level. Currently, we employ several team members who hold NABCEP Solar certification in Texas. We are also one of the only companies to provide a 12 week training class for all of our new Account Managers. When you speak to a Longhorn Solar Account Manager, then you can rest assured that we know what we are talking about. We would be honored with the opportunity to provide you with a Solar System quote and then installation.

Great Company with Outstanding Servie

We had our system installed a little over two years ago and I can be more satisfied with the system and the service received from Longhorn Solar. With the rebates, referrals, and savings that we received, our system has pay for itself already. We never had a problem with the system but Longhorn continues to check in with us to make sure everything is good to go. I highly recommend this company.

Solar Panel Installation Experience

The process was very professional, well defined, and thorough. The salesperson, Dylan Eckersley, was very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. He was very upfront when I would make some suggestions that were not in my best interest. After the sale he visited our system to verify that it was working and in good order. In fact all of the personnel were exceptional.

Would I do it all over again...Yes!

Working with Longhorn Solar in San Antonio was very easy. And yes, as I stated above, I would do it all over again. Things started off right when talking to my account manager, Dylan. He was helpful and timely with answers to questions and avoided the hard sell approach. They entire team was responsive and helpful throughout the planning, installation and now maintenance of our new system. They even worked a major issue with CPS for me when we decided we needed to make a change...all without any push back! And yes, I am saving money on my electricity bill. Granted it is the middle of summer in south Texas. My estimate compared to last year, which was just as hot and we were running the A/C, I saved well over $100 just this month alone. Thanks Longhorn Solar...I would do it again!

Awesome experience!!

The overall experience was awesome. From start to finish Dylan provided answers to all the questions we had. He never made us feel like he was trying to sell us something, but provided all the information to help with the decision. I appreciated the fact there was no pressure to buy anything. The time frame he provided spot on. The installers came in and completed the work. We are very please with the energy output from our solar panel system.

Exceptional Service

From the moment I contacted Longhorn Solar the experience has been wonderful. Dylan not only provided exceptional sales and product information but his customer service has been outstanding. Longhorn Solar provides assistance with rebates plus advice on the federal tax savings. They contacted us after installation to answer any follow up questions we might have plus a year later, Dylan, checked on us again. I had a few concerns and he came right over to address them. He made us feel he honestly cared about our satisfaction. You don't see much of that type of integrity these days.

I would like to say that Dylan Eckersley, Account Manager for Longhorn Solar is an outstanding young man and Longhorn Solar is very fortunate to have him as an employee. My husband and I had long considered the possibility of alternative power solutions to offset the ever rising cost of living. When the Longhorn Solar flyer came in the mail, we decided to give them a call. That is where we first talked to Dylan, he got all the necessary information about us and the location of our home as well as who our local electric company was. When Dylan arrived for our scheduled meeting, he brought books of information about Longhorn Solar and it’s reputation, he had graphs and charts showing how the solar panels Longhorn had installed in our area was performing and how solar panels could benefit us. Dylan also brought the name and number of the contact person with our electric company so we could verify the information he was giving us. We have had our solar panels for over a year and Dylan and Longhorn Solar has stayed in contact with us to make sure things are working properly and that we are happy with our investment. It’s people like Dylan and companies like Longhorn Solar that keep this county great!!!!

Wolford's review

The installation of solar panels was something my husband and I had been discussing for sometime. When the flyer from Longhorn Solar came in the mail, we immediately called and scheduled a home visit. Dylan Eckersley, Account Manager for Longhorn Solar got the necessary information about our area and electric company then scheduled a time to come out to meet us. Dylan brought volumes of information about his company and its reputation as well as information concerning how well Longhorn Solar worked with our local electric company. He brought graphs and charts so we could see just what solar could do for us. After the installation, Dylan has continued to call and send email to make sure we are happy and satisfied with the panels and our results. Solar panels from Longhorn Solar has been one of the best decisions we have ever made and highly recommend Longhorn Solar to anyone considering solar panels. Dylan Eckersley is extremely knowledgeable and personable and will make the whole process pleasant and easy.

Solar Installation

We had a great experience with Longhorn Solar. Their sales rep actually was a veteran installer who knew the trade. They had a common sense approach to the bottom line cost that avoided gimmicks and was actually less expensive than a competitor. The install went well (about 2 ½ years ago) and when our inverter went out about 2 years ago, they quickly responded and installed a new one covered completely under warranty. We end up selling back to our electric company anywhere from 90-190 kWh per month. I can definitely recommend Longhorn Solar for anyone interested in solar power.

Have had the 6K system in place for a year now, Longhorn missed the anticipated production for the year by 20 KWH. 8265 vs 8285. One more sunny day would have done it. Not bad ! Only spent $250.00 last year for power from the grid. Looking for more this year and the next 18 years to boot.

Great Experience

I am very happy with my solar system that was installed last spring. Ian Smith did a very nice job of marketing the system, explaining options and recommending a system to meet my needs without selling me options that did not fit my needs. We had a few hardware (arc fault) issues with the inverter, but Longhorn and the manufacturer replaced the problem causing components without stress. So far my system has saved me about $500 on my electric bills which exceeds the quoted projections and return on investment estimates.

Incredible Customer Service

We have been interested in solar for some time. In August, we moved to a home next door to a solar powered house. Following the good recommendation of our neighbor to contact Longhorn Solar, we did just that. From the first contact by phone, to the site survey with David Shumate, the General Manager and Gareth Malkowski, our "salesman", through the immediate quotes based on a few options, we were amazed! Our "salesman" Gareth Malkowski became a quick friend. My husband and I had an immediate rapport with him based on his demeanor, genuine care and overall lack of "sales-pitch-iness". The team that came out for the installation were on-time, thorough, knowledgeable, and skilled. Zachary Brahm, Field Ops Supervisor, and Adam Mercer, project manager, were well-versed in their jobs. In about 4-5 hours, the installation was complete, painless and non-disruptive! We could not have been more impressed with the entire team! We are amazed at watching our eGauge monitoring system show us in real time how our home is producing more than the electric usage. Woo-hoo! This is SO awesome. Just like our team at Longhorn Solar.

Longhorn Solar experience

Everything was very professionally handled from sales, to installation and service. The work was completed as scheduled. The Solar Edge monitoring system allows you to monitor production in real time. After two months the production has exceeded expectations. I highly recommend the addition of solar power and Longhorn Solar. This is a beautiful installation.

New Install

After converting from a community propane system to an energy star heat-pump and all-electric appliances, we experienced a significant drop in energy cost. The next step was obvious. Our 5.5 KWh solar system was installed in two days, and about a week later the power company changed our meter to 2-way so we could feed our excess production back into the grid for credit. We can monitor energy production via a PC, and this also allows Longhorn Solar to make sure that the system is working properly. We have every confidence that the installed system will more than pay for itself, as the money we save on electricity bills will be more than the cost of servicing the loan. Also, the value of the house went up more than the cost of the system, so in the end we'll recover the total cost of the system, while still enjoying the monthly savings. Longhorn has been fair, proactive, and prompt, using high-quality German solar panels. Their IT person came to our home and set up the WiFi and PC.
