PPM Solar

I was connected to PPM Solar through the Duke Energy EV rebate program. They did an absolutely phenomenal job with my EV charger installation. I was initially unsure about where the charger should go or exactly what pictures were needed for the engineering phase, but Eden and the team proactively scheduled an on-site consultation to help me sort out my options of either a hardwired EV Charger or just a 220V outlet. Because I was experiencing nuisance tripping on my standard wall outlets, we decided to go with a hardwired ChargePoint Home Flex solution. The coordination from there was seamless; they handled all the load calculations and permit submissions behind the scenes. What really stood out was the outstanding level of communication. Eden provided consistent updates throughout the permitting process. Even when a minor scheduling snag came up due to one of their service vans going down, they immediately reached out and got me back on the books for the following Monday. The actual installation was clean, professional, and done to an exact standard. They are based out of Gainesville but traveled down to Central Florida to complete the project without missing a beat. If you want transparent pricing, great communication, and strong technical execution, PPM Solar is the team to call. Five stars all day.

PPM Solar was on the Duke Energy approved contractor list for EV outlet installations, which gave us confidence when choosing them. Their pricing was fair and normal, not inflated because of the Duke program, and I was able to take full advantage of the available credit through Duke Energy. We had a great experience overall. The technicians were very professional, explained the work clearly before getting started, and completed everything with care. They also cleaned up after themselves, which was greatly appreciated. The installation looks excellent, and we are very happy with the final result.

Eden, Gabby, Ed and the team are PPM Solar are fantastic to work with. I found them through a recommendation from Duke Energy when I needed to get my EV charger installed and they did not disappoint one bit. From the moment of submitting for a quote through the job installation everything was fantastic. Eden and Gabby were both quick to communicate over both email and phone call while Ed and his team were super professional and friendly come install day. The overall process was extremely easy as all I had to do was provide the actual charger unit and PPM handled everything else from the communication, permits, install, and honestly beyond that. I'd definitely return back for my next project!

I have had PPM Solar perform several installs of solar panels and a Tesla powerwall. On each project they provided excellent communication and service. I totally recommend PPM Solar for your solar needs.

PPM Solar was an excellent company to get my solar project completed efficiently before any energy rates rise. The team was genuinely nice to have around—respectful, tidy, and easy to work with— Justin, the crew lead, was especially impressive: professional, organized, and clearly committed to doing the job right. The price was satisfactory, and I’m very pleased with the final result. What stood out most was how proactive they were about making the project better—not just “installing what was on paper.” They made smart field adjustments, including moving the Powerwalls out of view and into the shade, which improved both appearance and performance. We also had a very tight deadline, and PPM finished on schedule. The solar panel layout was thoughtfully adopted and looks great. A neighbor used PPM Solar as well and is pleased, which reinforced that this team delivers consistently. If you want a contractor who communicates well, cares about quality, and hits deadlines, I’d strongly recommend PPM Solar.

Gateway replacement for Tesla Powerwalls

PPM is an excellent company They manage and service our entire solar system and powerwalls. They had to install a new gateway that connects the solar panels to the batteries. It was an all day affair. The first crew Ed and Jason did the install. The next crew included Derick Hohenshilt talking to Tesla to get us reconnected to the app. They all worked very hard and we are back in business. This company has an excellent staff and if you are considering solar and possibly batteries please give them a call. You will be impressed. So very glad we have them as a solar vendor.

Great Company

PPM Knows what they are doing and are thorough, honest and pay attention to details.

Highly Recommend

We received quotes from 2 other companies. PPM was the only one that noticed that our consumption had reduced since our kids had left home and suggested a slightly smaller system when they could have easily tried to sell us the same size that the other companies had quoted. There was a delay, but only due to Tesla backorder. They had everything else already installed and ready to go. The day the power walls arrived, PPM came and finished the installation. During the backorder period, we received weekly calls giving me any updates they had. We have had the system for over 2 months now and could not be happier.

Great "one stop shop" for installing solar system.

Phase I (26 roof mounted panels) are now working correctly. We started out with some bad panels, but Alex and his team got these replaced and the system is working! It is great working with a local company that has an "on staff" designer and electricians, unlike many other companies that sub-out the electrical to electricians that may not have solar experience. Now that phase I is complete, we are looking forward to having Phase II (starting next week with 21 additional ground mounted panels) installed to create a system that will eliminate my high GRU bill. It has been a long process with the delay of GRU in granting work permits, but it will be worth it in the end. Many thanks to Alex, Gabby and the rest of the crew.

great experience

professional, prompt, thorough.

It's the right company to work together!

Everybody in this company is very professional and friendly. The price and service are good, and the sales representative is not pushing.

Professional and Competitive

I have had a great experience working with PPM on my residential roof-mount array, beginning with the fact that their sales model is not pushy or predatory. After negotiating industry wide component supply issues, PPM stuck to their schedule and had the panels up in two days. Staff were courteous and knowledgeable. We’re thrilled to have solar powering our home.

Superior Product & Company

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Could not be happier! The whole team from sales, design, installation and support! Superior knowledge and very detailed oriented. The installation team was thoughtful, polite and did fantastic job. Special thankyou to Alex Khokhlov (Director), and Omid Ahmadi (Operations Manager) - great to work with and would gladly do it again.

Very Thorough Proposals

When shopping for a solar system I took proposals from a number of established local companies. All of them seemed knowledgeable and were in a similar price range. What led me to choosing Power Production Management was that their proposal package was more detailed than the others, including the specific models and numbers of panels, inverters and mounting system. When I had some questions about system sizing they also sent me a proposal for a smaller setup. This made it easy to look up information about exactly I would be getting and consider adjustments. Everyone I interacted with was quite pleasant and responsive. Waiting for an engineering package took a bit longer than predicted but the rest of the installation went smoothly. I look forward to seeing next year if the system's annual production matches their estimate, but for the past several weeks it seems to be working as expected. I would gladly recommend PPM to anyone looking for an installer. Disclosure: I was offered a small gift card to share my honest experience.

Great company to work with

Electricity is not my forte. Everyone was so patient with me from beginning to end. From Mike to Angel and all his crew. They were all super nice. Had a bit of a snag with getting it connected but that was Putnam County and Clay Electric not communicating. Nina was so good keeping me informed. The Powerwalls we’re on back order. Nina gave me constant updates so I didn’t feel like I was forgotten. When they came in they Kelly was here in no time to install them. Again, so patient with my questions and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Omid came out for the final soon after to make sure I understood everything. Told me if I ever had any questions to call him. He make me feel like they are still there even after the sale. The only thing I wish they had done is tell me the Powerwalls were on back order when I ordered the system.

Great Company, Great Product, & Wonderful Experience

PPM Solar installed my roof-based solar system in the fall of 2020. I have had it up and running for well over a year and during this period my solar system has supplied 100% of my homes electricity needs, which includes a heated pool and spa and an electric car. In fact, I have had surplus power that I was able to get a credit back from FPL at the end of the year. The PPM folks who installed my solar system were conscientious, thorough, considerate, and extremely professional. Mark answered all my questions, and there were many, happily and patiently and offered me insightful feedback on the best systems available and my best options for getting the best system at the best price. In the end, I went with REC panels and Enphase microinverters. I liked the system so much that I bought stock in Enphase. I would highly recommend getting a solar system. I got a wonderful tax credit and PPM was able to connect me with the Clean Energy Credit Union, which financed my system at a very competitive interest rate. All in all, I would say do your homework and research because I did, and I found that PPM Solar offered me the best price on the best system and the entire process was seamless. I think if you are serious about installing a solar, then a call to PPM would be very prudent, and I know that you will be happy that you did.

Excellent Service--Excellent Results

This was a good process from my first contact to completion. The marketing team simply provided information (options, timing, cost, process). They never pushed. On visual inspection, they noted that my roof was old (I had it scheduled for replacement) and that there were shading issues (I had tree trimming scheduled also). They did not want to install a system on an old roof or in a situation that would not be productive. They kept us informed throughout the design and installation, so I knew what to expect and approximately when. The workers were courteous, efficient and responsible (taking off shoes when they had to enter the house for ethernet connection cable). The system (Tesla solar panels) is now operational and it produced more power than consumed during the first full month. Two Power Walls were installed last week. Just to see what would happen, I put them in the "self power" mode and they have 100% supplied all energy--including AC, cooking, clothes dryer--at night while never dipping below 50% charge. This gives me confidence that I can ride through any extended outage with minimal disruption to our lifestyle. If you have good access to sun, the panels make a lot of sense from both an environmental and economic view. Power Walls (batteries) are more of a security (against outages) feature. In south Florida, we lost power for 19 days after a hurricane, so power for your refrigerator and a few fans and lights can be a big deal. Just for information, the panels will produce at 10-15 percent on a "no sun" day; so we could keep critical loads running indefinitely. If you're in the service area, check out Power Production Management. They will give you the straight story and there will be no surprises if you choose to use their services.

We dreamed of achieving a smaller carbon footprint, while also maintaining a reasonable budget. We absolutely required the perfect blend of professionalism, customization, clarity, integrity, all while keeping our money local. We had no idea how above and beyond all of our dreams PPM would prove to stride! Please, if you've even the slightest glimmer of an idea to install solar, of utilizing the power of the sun, while also saving tremendously on your power bill, do yourself a favor and place your complete trust in Alex Khoklov and the entire crew at PPM. They are simply the best in their field. They will spend the time calculating and analyzing angles to design the most productive solar system for your unique space. The employees are highly educated and trained to efficiently install and seamlessly connect your home to the grid. Before you know it, you will feel like you have not only completed a project to enhance the value and efficiency of your home, but you will have gained family. The only question is...do you really want to keep paying that outrageous "August in Florida" power bill? I didn't think so! You deserve to "Go Solar!"

POWER FROM THE SUN

overall was a good experience I rated this a 4 star, could have bee 5 star but to supply chain problems and lack of prompt replies to my request to keep us updated. Need to step up keeping the customer in the loop. I would recommend Power Production Management.

Great north-central Florida solar contractor

The team at PPM was a pleasure to work with and I am very happy with my decision to partner with them on a solar and storage system. I felt cared for throughout the entire process, from the initial sales and system design conversations with Mike and Omid, to the permitting and installation scheduling chats with Nina, all the way to the install and close-out visit with Kelly. Thank you PPM for your diligence and quality work to make my solar and storage system a reality!

We had an excellent experience with PPM. The salesperson was very good at explaining variables and helping us choose the proper system. The PMs communicated every step of the way and the install crew was efficiently in and out. Would have no hesitation in providing a recommendation.

Great job, great crew, go with them

Power Production Management did a great job. Nina did well with communication and was always available for an email or text to get an update or have a question answered. Angel, Adrian, Justin, Jeremiah, Malachi, and Veta all did a very good job on the install (they are getting a raise right?). Even with the little things that came up they took care of everything with professionalism and went above and beyond. These guys have a good install team. Omid was great with the engineering and drone prep work, as well as with answering questions. Kelly was great in coordinating the details of the county inspection, and with the final run through. Our kids really enjoyed meeting the team (and even playing a little lego with a few of them when they had a chance during a downpour), and overall it was a very good experience with a good company. They were flexible with a minor adjustment on where we ran the wiring, and did a nice job on making everything look professional. They cleaned up after themselves and took complete ownership and repair of the one incidental small sheetrock mishap. I have invited them all to call or drop by anytime and hang out, and I hope they take me up on it. Their prices for the quality panels and inverters was the best we found. You should get solar from them if you want a reputable group with reasonable prices on good panels.

Satisfied with every aspect of the job from the sales to the ins

They came out and install my Tesla charger that motivated me to look into the company and I decided these were the right people for the job

Great Business! Amazing communication.

PPM was solid throughout the entire process. I could not be happier with our choice to move forward with solar and PPM. The salesperson was very good at explaining variables and helping us choose the proper system. The PMs communicated every step of the way and the install crew was efficiently in and out. We had one small issue with the monitoring system, but PPM quickly resolved it. I would highly recommend PPM for your solar project!

PPM is an Awesome solar company

I have a 4500 sqr ft home. The quote was excellent for the products and size of my house 71 panels! The crew doing the work was professional and respectful to my home. They kept me informed and coordinated with the county inspectors who were way to picky! The office would call and check on us often which was a nice courtesy. The converters and panels are top notch! My electric bill has been only $25 per month for last 3 months which is grid connection fee only! I have over 1000 kw credit on my electric bill and still growing every day! We cant wait to see how much the electric company will OWE US at the end of the year!! Thanks PPM

Flexible, helpful, always professional

PPM was helpfully flexible to help us negotiate several COVID-related challenges that repeatedly delayed this project (due to causes completely unrelated to PPM). They were always helpful and professional, and now (9 months after installation), our system has performed as expected, and we are delighted.

Awesome Team at PPM

Power Production Management PPM has one of best installation team's around. From start to finish they are the best.

Highly recommend PPM for your solar panel installation!

Production Power Management did an excellent job with our solar installation! They were thorough, professional, and did quality work. They were booked out and weren't able to complete the installation before year-end to make the tax break cutoff, but they deducted the cost of the system by the amount we would have saved in tax rebates, netting us the same cost overall. The system has been in placed for a year and the savings to our electric bill have been substantial. Highly recommend going with PPM for your solar panel installation!

Quality workmanship and professional staff

We have had two different installations with PPM. The first was a solar system (~2015), and the second the battery backup (2020). They helped us 'right size' our system to maximize the sun exposure and offset our bills for the best balance in upfront cost and monthly bill. In the winter the system generates close to 100% of our energy needs and in the summer it takes the edge off the high usage. We are now close to cost recovery on the output. The battery has been wonderful- we barely notice power interruptions. We were delayed due to COVID but the quality of the work was exceptional in both cases. We were 'lucky' that our installations were challenging in both cases. Through all of the issues the company was upfront, and the end product was 100% satisfactory. They kept their word and did an excellent job.
