Alice Rodriguez | Vega Baja, PR | 08/04/2024

No customer service available during the weekend. Working hours from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. With no power over the eeekend and nobody available to solve the situation. This review is from Puerto Rico. I would not advice anybody to make business with Power Solar. They are the worst in customer service. I do not even want to imagine what would happen during a huracanes!!!

Fantastic Experience

We recently put on a new Roof in March 2021. Next step is Solar- after receiving numerous bids we chose Planet Solar. The bid was the best bang for our buck- KW production was a factor with kids home all summer and thinking of the future as well. One key component in choosing them is that I went directly to there office, I met Marilyn and Ben. They answered more of my questions- I mentioned how leary I was of having holes punched into my roof, Ben took the time to show me the material they use to ensure no leaks! The installation crew was incredible, I never know how many steps it took to really get solar installed. The day after Solar I called my roofer- as you know some installers just punch holes in your roof, Planet Solar took care of mine as if it was theres- he could tell they were cautious and they didnt walk with "lead-feet" and ruin the granules on my shingles! So..do your homework, ask your questions, then realize Plant Solar offers the expertise, and the knowledge you really need.

Great Overall Experience

After receiving a couple of quotes from other local solar companies I decided to go forward with Planet Solar due to their excellent communication and transparency. Marilyn was extremely easy to deal with and always willing to answer all questions asked. Their competitive pricing made it a no brainer. Thanks Planet Solar for great overall experience

A great solar experience.

Planet Solar was one of the best companies I have ever worked with. I looked around and asked around for a good solar company. Planet Solar was recommended to me by a friend and I made the call. Marilyn was my first point of contact and she solidified my decision to use Planet Solar. She was thorough and knowledgeable and very easy to talk with. I had done some initial system size estimates based on everything I knew. Once I spoke to Marilyn, she designed the correct size system and actual told me I didn't need as big of a system as I had estimated. Once we agreed on the details, a contract was drawn up and work began very quickly. They pulled all the necessary permits, ordered all of the supplies and kept me in the loop the entire time. Installation was quick and professionally done. They were able to go through the attic which minimizes the conduits on the outside of the house. The workers were all professional, polite and always cleaned up their mess. A few short weeks later, I was producing electricity. The only low I have about going solar, I wish I would have done it sooner.

Exceeded our Expectations

Let me start by saying I have no connection or allegiance to Planet Solar. (other than being a happy customer) They were the fourth of four proposals that we got and they were the cheapest of the four, even though they proposed an almost identical system and components as one of the other companies. Cost was the biggest factor in going with Planet Solar and we are extremely glad we did. From our first meeting with Marilyn we just felt like we were in excellent hands, and dealing with someone we could trust, not your typical sales person just trying to close a deal, and it didn't end there. Everyone we dealt with from Jason who came out to do the pre installation inspection and the foreman Juan who was there on the day of the installation were very professional and courteous, exactly the kind of people you want working on your home! I highly recommend getting a quote from Planet Solar if you are serious about getting solar! We are Happy we did!!!

Solar in Redlands | Redlands , CA | 03/02/2021

Install and Hardware is Good, insufficient power

Purchased a Planer Solar System last year. Install and roof prep was fine. Now, a year later we are still getting fairly good sized SCE bills. Asked for a solar audit, they reviewed the bills and they tersely concluded it was a tree (not sure what tree) impacting system output. If it was a tree should not have panel placement have taken that into account? Have contacted the rep to ask if panels can be relocated or augmented and he is unresponsive. After spending almost 30k for the system I’m disappointed.

We purchased a solar system from Planet Solar (Fresno) in September 2019. They were very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. They took the time to help explore the best options for our property and design an expandable system. So far it has been working very well.

Professional, most knowledgeable, outstanding service, & caring!

I am business professional giving an excellent review for Planet Solar as they definitely earned my business! I had planned on going with another Solar company that was successful in our area. However, what changed my mind was that I was treated with respect and patience. One of the owners took special attention laying out all my options and explained them in detail. From there I could make an educated decision choosing between buying or leasing, and design layout. These people did the homework for me and then I chose what I thought was best for me! There was no high pressure involved. Their service was impeccable, their servicemen were clean and professional. I even got my panels on my house in a faster time frame than the other company had estimated for me! I would definitely recommend Planet Solar to anyone or any business. It is hard to find hardworking honest people to do business with. You will definitely find that with Planet Solar!

7 Years and Still Working Great

OK. I took 7 years to write this review, but I wanted to have all the data. My system was first turned on 7/5/2011. It is 2.83 kw AC. It paid for itself in 6.5 years and is now making me money. Turned out to be a better investment than real-estate or the stock market. It has returned about 15% a year. The only issue I had was that the display on the inverter is unreadable due to UV damage. However, I still know that the unit is working because my monthly bill is still near zero. I was unsure about installing because I have a very old roof, but there have been no leaks. I clean the panels a couple of times a year. Installation and materials were all top notch.
