Powerco Solar (out of buisiness)

Power CO is very easy to work with. They were professional and communicated with me throughout the entire process. Their price was the lowest by far of any of the other 3 bids, even though they use the better optimizers, and there were no unexpected charges on the final bill. My system works exactly as it was designed and my electricity bills have been reduced dramatically. I will use them again when I purchase a new home next year.

I did my homework and educated myself about residential solar. I’m glad I did because it sure saved me money and future headaches. I got three bids. One company was an hour late to the appointment and sent some kid out that had no idea what he was talking about. I knew more about solar than he did. The second company was more professional, but gave me a proposal that seemed rather high based on other systems I had researched. They were also pressuring me to sign a contract right then. The third company that came out, Powerco Solar, was very knowledgeable and professional. They were quite detailed in their evaluation and told me that my electrical service panel needed an upgrade. At first I thought they were just trying to up-sell me, but then they went through a detailed explanation with me and showed me the calculations. I was glad they did. After doing some additional research, I learned that if I did not upgrade the panel, the system would be dangerously overloaded, even if it passed inspection. Neither of the other two companies caught this problem. Powerco Solar was also the lowest bid. Even though they were using optimizers rather than less expensive micro-inverters, they still came in a lot less than the other two companies. And there was no pressure to make an immediate decision. The installation process went smoothly, although it took a week longer than estimated (6 weeks) because the city was slow in approving the building permit. I found it rather difficult to communicate with the installation crew because of a language barrier, but they seemed to know what they were doing and didn’t leave a mess when they were finished. When my system was finally installed and operational, the project manager came out the next day and helped me set up my monitoring. It has been functioning perfectly and my first utility bill showed a dramatic decline in my energy cost ($12). Although Powerco Solar is not perfect, they came close and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to install solar to their home.

The bid was lower from Powerco than the other competitor and they could also include solar pool panels, which the competitor didn't have available. In a new house it was hard to determine the expected load without electrical usage bills. The sales staff helped to balance and determine the expected load and a system size to handle that load. I also wanted battery backup for critical loads to be off the grid if necessary. The installation had one problem, a couple of components weren't included in the shipment of parts, so the installers had to return in a few weeks after everything was available. The system works fine, but I still want to access the system with my computer to monitor how everything is operating at different times of the year for reference. Overall I would recommend them to others.

The process went pretty well. I was even sent fotos since I was out of town. The project manager was easy to speak with on the phone and kept me up to date. The only problems were some of the wires had become grounded so I failed to get several weeks production. I felt that I should receive compensation for that loss. Nothing yet. The device that speaks to a company downtown failed and it took a while to replace it. Lastly, I was not able to logon to the system to watch my systems production.

I met with 3 companies, which included this one. The first company I met with sent a rep out that had only been doing solar for 2 months, and he wasn't knowledgeable at all. I knew more than he did. The second company sent out a complete high pressure salesman, and he really rubbed my wife the wrong way. Powerco sent out Kris, and he was awesome. He was very transparent in everything he was offering and we felt like he was very up-front about everything. Powerco wasnt the cheapest option, but they werent the most expensive either. We were shown where and why they dont cut corners, and they are local. We are happy with our decision and can not wait for our first bill!

The team at Powerco is top notch. I can't believe the knowledge they had about solar and where the industry is going over the other companies I had a bit from. I also really liked how they do all their own installs me don't subcontract work out. My rep showed me what electrical parts they use to install and it shows they don't cut corners with the install? Love my system and it looks amazing! Can't wait to see my next Power bill.

From loan options to working with the city and power company, Powerco made it flexible, simple, and easy!

After working with a couple of other companies on our desire to "go solar", we settled on Powerco Solar. Our contact, Rod Horton, made the process easy and clear to understand. He answered all the questions we had and made sure we understood fully what every step of the process would entail and the anticipated completion date of each step. Rod stayed on top of the project, and when a phase started to fall behind the anticipated timeline, he followed up with the appropriate entity (city, power company) to get our project back on schedule. Once we were in operation, the other support departments of Powerco Solar made sure we had our internet connection to monitor our power production and emailed us all the paperwork we needed to file for our tax credits. Maybe the most enjoyable part of the process has been seeing my last two utility bills come in at $9.01 and knowing I was still "banking" KW for future use.

I come from a position of having a good understanding of this industry. For the past two years I have helped others get solar on their homes through a competitor of Powerco. The competitor appears to have it all, including a huge and present advertising budget. They have lots of sales people, and have attacked the market along the Wasatch Front in the past year. When I came across Powerco and got to know Brigg Barron, my outlook changed. I had run into several other people out there selling solar, some with some success, others, not so. Brigg carefully explained Powerco's position and attitude about solar, their approach to customer service and satisfaction. A detailed explanation of the product and methodology of the systems they install. Incentives and tax credits. We went in-depth about the installation, permitting, inspection, and net-metering processes. He was very consistent with what I was being told and communicated by Laci and Trevor in their main office. I had a hard decision to make: Go with the guys I'd been working with the past couple of years, or go with Powerco who seemed to have the superior product, systems, and customer service. I switched. I'm real happy. I honestly can't say anything bad about the other company. I can say a lot of good about Powerco, though. I am totally 100% satisfied with their services. Everything from the introduction process, installation, the crews that came and did the work, the quality of workmanship, the skill and knowledge of each, and final completion and billing process. It was all positive. For me, the most exciting part of it all was when Rocky Mountain Power came and installed the net-meter. When Powerco's service tech's came back and turned the system on, explained how I could monitor it, and what the various components of the systems do, and then to see my meter running backwards, that is when I really got excited. "I'm a little power company!" Yay! I'm so glad I did this. I can strongly recommend Powerco, every aspect of their company. 100% satisfied customer!!!

The whole process went smooth from the bid to the installation. They answered all of my questions. After the final meeting I noticed some damage to the paint on the exterior of the home, they came out the next day and repaired it. I appreciated them fixing it, my experience with most home service people is that once they have your money you will never see them again. I appreciated powerco making the little things right.

Great service, clean installation, total bill as bid. No surprises

The team at Powerco really took great care of us each step of the way! We had been thinking of getting solar power and when our salesman approached us and told us about all the benefits of 'going solar' and calculated the money we would save - we were sold! Everyone we had contact with in the company was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the positive changes we would see going forward. We jumped in with both feet and installed solar on our home, detached garage, and cabin. The results have been amazing! We were also impressed with the constant communication and with the way all the permits, forms, paperwork and communication with the city and the power company, etc. was all taken care of by Powerco. We would have been overwhelmed if those things were left up to us to take care of. Today is Leap Day - we highly recommend that you take a LEAP and join with Powerco for an extraordinary SOLAR experience!

My experience with Powerco Solar has led to me believe that they are honest and hardworking people. Not only that, but they are experts in their field. They are knowledgeable on all cutting edge developments in the Solar field, and work their hardest to ensure that you get a system that meets, and exceeds, your power needs. I've also found their pricing to be super competitive. Owning your own panels, and energy, is the best way to go.

I loved my experience with Powerco Solar. From start to finish everyone I worked with was very educated and professional. I felt like Powerco really cared about doing what was best for me and my situation rather than looking at me as just another sale. The installation quality and appearance of my system is top notch as well, and that is exactly what I was after.

These guys are awesome! Helped me understand how solar works and the importance of going solar. It was a pleasure to work with this great company.

I had a sales consultant from Powerco Solar come to my home and give me info on their product. I had previous bids from other companies (which were great as well). The reasons I went with Powerco is due to the fact that the salesman was professional, the company is local, and they made me feel confident that I was making the right decision. I was reassured that the install would be done by a master electrician that is employed by Powerco (not subbed out).

The process from start to finish was seamless and worry free process as Powerco took care of everything. Feels good to not have to worry about the power bill increasing each year. Thank you Powerco!

Great experience with Steve their sales rep. Stayed with us the whole process from install to completion. Help with all paper work with state and RMP.

Powerco solar was an amazingly professional and seamless experience. They had my 9kw system on my roof from our initial meeting to finish in 28 days. I love the Powerco team.

Powerco has been awesome to work with. My cabin is off grid and remote. However since the first day I met my rep to the day last day of their professional install crew I have been so pleased. They gave us constant communication with the office manager Lacie and gave us a project manager that was spot on with his communication too. My system looks very cool and I am so happy and willing to refer this company to anyone.

The company installed quickly but left wires in disarray, haven't followed up on online monitoring and knowingly installed faulty parts. After months of follow up the company finally reimbursed for high power bills and corrected faulty equipment. The wires were finally cleaned up and the system is working properly, but still no online access to monitoring tools.

I added a 4kw solar array to my home last month with Powerco Solar. Everyone I met with was knowledgable and friendly. The gal from the office was always in contact with me during the process to let me know what was happening with my licensing or equipment. I did a lot of research, met with a couple other companies and chose Powerco because I felt I was getting the best product for the best price. Powerco is also owned and operated locally in my state and I am confident they are a company that will be around if i need any service far into the future. I am excited to see how this is going to wipe out my power bill. Glad to own my own power!

The entire process from start to finish with Powerco Solar was painless. They took care of everything! The office was in regular contact with me and kept me updated at each stage of the process. Great customer experience. I would recommend to anyone interested in Utah to go take a look at Powerco!

I had questions, they had answers. I now have solar panels on my roof and I am saving money because I don't owe Rocky Mountain Power a bill every month!

I'v been looking into Solar for a few years and decided to finally take a serious look at it. I new a friend who used Powerco so I called them to set up a meeting. I didn't know a lot about solar at the time but i felt that all my questions were answered clearly by my rep. Once we decided to move forward i was surprised how quickly the process went. They told me everything would be wrapped up and installed in about 3 weeks. We were up in running at 4 weeks so not bad. My bill was about $160 per month before Solar. My last power bill was $3.67 so no complaints there. We've seen it as low as .16 cents and has high as $13. They gentlemen who worked on the house were carful on the roof and respectful to the property which was all i really cared about. Overall I don't have any complaints.

Buying solar requires the homeowner to consider the reliability & professional demeanor of the company chosen to provide the solar products, do the installation, and follow up insuring that you'll have a worry-free experience up front and for years to come. We were totally pleased with Powerco's performance, pricing, installation, financiang on down to every detail. Do yourself a huge favor. Go with the best. Go Powerco!!!

I loved the personal touch and consideration taken in all aspects of the process. From sales to design and install, we felt part of the Powerco family. Thanks Ryan, Brandon and the gang.

Brandon Butcher from Powerco Solar of Salt Lake led the installation team for my 8kw PV system. They are prompt, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I received a 30% federal tax credit and a $2,000 state credit. I expect a 7 year payback and a 13% per year return on my net investment.

Powerco was a great company! I didnt know how it all worked I was just really tired of my powerbill going up every month. They walked me thru each step and did all the paperwork for me. The install crew was great too and was always on time..fun group of guys. I Love my Solar!!!! thanks Powerco Rick

We were hesitant about solar until we met our sales rep. The process was way more affordable than we expected, especially with them compared to the other bid we got. They walked us through the whole process, we were always in the loop.

I got a few bids from other solar installers here in Salt Lake City and decided to go with Powerco. They answered every question I had and didn't try to sell me but rather helped educate me so I could make the decision for myself. I really appreciated that i wasn't in a high pressure situation. The whole process was great they took care of everything and now I own my power and am enjoying not having a bill. Thanks guys for all your help. Satisfied customer

Powerco Solar is a tremendous company to do business with as their team is very knowledgeable and very customer friendly. They have exceeded all my expectations with quality, timing, answering questions, and the way in looks on my roof.7 I'm very pleased with my new solar system. I would recommend Powerco Solar to anyone interested in a Solar System for their home.

I didnt know much about solar when i was looking. I had two other companies come give me a bid. They were nice but i felt overwhelmed because i was new to this whole thing. I then called Powerco and from the first meeting I knew they were going to hold my hand threw the whole process. They did just that and from day 1 I felt very confident in my choice from their amazing customer service and support. My system looks AMAZING and my solar rep has kept in contact to make sure its working correctly. My neighbors have envy so he will be getting my referral :-) Great job
