LET THE SUN SHINE

I have an 18 panel install. that has been in service since early December. From design to installation to turn on and integration, Renu handled it and handled it well. Absolutely effortless with no problems or hitches. Office staff/back up is great for any questions or explanations you need. They are ahead of the game and keep you informed at every step right up to applying for the energy company rebate. They know what they are doing and when to do it. Only glitch, there is a discrepancy between the Kwh my app says I'm making and what the utility company is crediting me. I believe this is due to the util. estimating rather than actual reading the meter. Only had two billing periods so far so I'm waiting for the util. company to catch up. Renu uses the best panels and best inverters and still came up with a very competitive price. Many people out there, some better than others. I am completely satisfied with Renu.

RENU Highly Recommended

Turnkey process from start to finish (including Duke Energy rebate submission). They demonstrated good communication and professional response to any issues that came up during the process.

Great System

I feel good about the savings on electricity, the fact that I am doing something positive for the environment, and how nice the panels look on the roof. Very friendly and helpful staff. The purchase, installation, and help with both Federal and Duke Energy Rebates.

Home Solar Made Easy

We own an all electric house. The installed 8.8 kw system (27 roof panels) provides 66% of our annual power consumption. We chose Renu due to their reputation for professional, quality work. They did not disappoint. Up front, they provide detailed information to size the system for optimum financial return. Renu did all of the interface work with the utility and county building inspectors, including permits. They used top quality materials and their installation crew was first rate. We had some especially challenging electrical routing issues from the panels to the meter, but the crew expertly figured out internal building routing that maintained the aesthetics of the house. Installation was completed in one day and the crew left the property clean and without any damage. It was a great feeling to synchronize to the grid and produce clean energy for our home.

If you want the very best.....

If you really want a first class solar system and installation, Renu Energy Solutions of Charlotte, NC should be your choice. There are many contractors out there working in the home solar roof top field. I of course have not worked with other contractors. I have heard some sad stories and I did interview several contractors and as far as I am concerned I made the best selection, Renu. Why do I consider Renu to be one of the best? Here are a few important reasons: - They immediately get to work. Renu provides a schedule and delivers close to the promised dates. But be aware there are issues beyond Renu’s control like, obtaining permits, inspections, utility meter installation, HOA approvals, and of course weather. However what ever is under Renu’s control, they meet the schedule. - Renu has a knowledgeable field representative visit the site to make field measurements and make sure everything is covered in the proposal prior to starting design work. This avoids downstream issues for both parties. - The project management team is first class, up front and more than willing to support the home owner with all necessary documentation to meet an HOA’s documentation requirements and answer any question anytime. The PM’s are on the ball in obtaining permits and scheduling inspections. I could not have asked for better assistance. - When the field team arrives everyone just puts their heads down and does their assigned chore safely with little direction or delay. I really liked having a single point contact for all the work – design, permitting, installation, electrical, and even roofing work if necessary. There are no delays between classes of work. It flows seamlessly. For most installations I would judge everything, installation wise, is accomplished in one workday. In my case it took two days due to the project and an issue with the utility’s electrical power service. - From the day I signed the contract to the day the system was turned required 7 weeks. About half of this time was utilized in obtaining approvals and inspections. - There were two minor issues at start up but Neru quickly had a man on the scene and solved the issues – a minor wiring issue. The system still produced during this period, just not at 100%. - All Neru’s team members are very friendly, easy to work with, and ready to answer any reasonable question. They leave the site as neat as when they arrived. No trash is left behind for the owner to dispose of. My installed system has performed at or above the promised production level without any issues. My system has been on line for 8 months. In that time I have had ZERO electric utility bills for 4 months!! My electric consumption costs now average $0.0159 per kw hour. My total bills for 8 months are less than my pre solar average monthly bill. And the amazing part to me, there is nothing an owner need do – no maintenance, no fuel, no adjustments, no annual tune up’s – the system just provides power. Start it, forget it, and enjoy low electric power bills. No fuss it just works. Yes rooftop solar is a large investment. Even after federal and local tax breaks it has a high first cost. But when I calculate the rate return on my investment, based on the local utility rates and the actual power generated, this investment is generating a tax free 10% rate of return. The rate of return will only increase as electric power costs rise as they have historically risen at about 3% per year. I know of no other safe stable 25 year investment that can provide that rate of return. And of course, my house’s re sale value has increased too. I cannot say enough great things about solar power in general and Renu Energy Solutions in particular. Install Renu Solar Power and you will absolutely love it!!!

Renu Energy Solutions is an amazing company to work with. Drew and Hannah have gone above and beyond to answer our questions and make our solar panel install a smooth and easy one. We have had our panels for about 4 months and are very happy! I highly recommend Renu Energy Solutions!

Great customer service and Install

Renu has installed a 5.89 kW solar system on our roof recently. Our sales associate cooper was really helpful and he didn't pressure us to sign the contract. We were going back and forth on installing the system as some of our friends who didn't knew about the net metering and incentives from federal/state government were dissuading us. We finally made a decision to go solar after educating ourselves online and getting to know experiences from our neighbors who have already installed the system through Renu.The install crew was very professional and completed the work in a day. Post install the county inspector found an issue and the crew came back and made corrections.If you are in Charlotte surroundings and are looking for solar install, I would strongly encourage you to go with Renu!

Wow- the new standard for excellence

We just went live with our solar panel system by Renu Energy Systems. We could not be happier. it started with a fantastic sales consultation with Patrick who was extremely well educated, and he's a very effective communicator / teacher. Every following step of installation was well planned, communicated and executed. This company makes commitments and keeps them! Every employee I interacted with (a total of 7 different individuals live or by phone) was well trained and acted like they had ownership in the business. Renu is a model of excellence and great customer service

Great experience end-to-end

I'm very happy with my experience. ReNu managed the process throughout and made it very quick and easy to get my panels up and running. I also really enjoy checking my usage and solar production online. As football season comes, the windows come open, the sun keeps pouring down, and my meter runs backward! Really a great experience.

I love our Sunpower solar panels from ReNu.

Our installation was flawless, from our visit with the salesperson (he was right on time for our appointment) to activation of the installed panels. The completed installation was very neat and professional in appearance and all my questions were answered quickly and by the right people. I give them my highest rating.

Instaaled Solar Panels with total capacity of 9.6 kW - Works fin

I decided to purchase my solar panels from Renu Energy Solutions because of the professional selling job done. Also visited some reference installations in my neighborhood and also got some positive references. The company also responded immediately to some minor issues with the system. So far the system performed as expected without any issues. I am very pleased with the performance of Renu Engergy Solutions.

Thorough, complete, turn-key and no regrets

I first contacted Renu back in 2016 for a quote. I had found them through Google search and hadn't really done much research but knew I had no one who had credentials in my area. When Joe, my sales person, showed up, he reviewed my property, my options and presented pricing. I felt comfortable enough to give the deposit on that visit and scheduled installation. The installation took about 2 days due to the size of my system. Once finished, everything came online immediately and with no problems. One of the best parts about Renu is they took care of all the work with the local building inspections department as well as getting all the proper documents filed with my local Utility. In all, they did a great, clean job and I plan to engage them again for additional work down the road.

A year in and glad we solarized.

We had a Sunpower 7.848 system installed in late 2015. We have been happy with the RenuEnergy Solutions service and have recommended them to several friends who have worked with them to install solar. We are now working with the company to install a plug to access power if the grid goes down.

nice new solar system!

The Renu Energy Solutions team did a fabulous job from soup to nuts, beginning to end, on building our new solar system for our farm, barn and house including coordinating a trench subcontractor to run power from the panels on the barn roof up the hill to the house. Their teamwork was well coordinated, friendly and knowledgeable. Very happy with the outcome. Now, I check my smartphone to see how much power we generate daily even though I don't need to as I know they are monitoring it. Feels nice to have cut our electric bill to pennies on the dollar, eliminated one of our two meters and know that we're not burning fossil fuels or creating any additional pollution. Free energy production is awesome!
