Great choice

My experience with Savkat has been great. Jordan spent the time to answer all my questions. I was thrilled when I received my first electric bill after my solar was turned on.

Outstanding Experience

Jordan is a fantastic salesmen. Patient, knowledgeable, experienced, kind and sincere. Jordan never pushed a sale. He educated me about solar systems and presented a variety of options for my consideration. He advised me openly and honestly. We developed the best system for my situation and budget. My Eversource bill has been $0.00 for the past 8 months and I have banked $1100 in bill credit for the winter months when the sun is low and solar energy production is reduced. Jordan also followed up periodically to make sure all was well and I was pleased. The 30% tax credit I received was also very beneficial, along with a quarterly payment from Eversource for participating in the clean energy program. Savkat is an excellent company that excels in customer service at every level. Thank you Jordan and the SavKat team for such a wonderful and smooth experience in guiding me from start to finish and beyond!

Go Solar

We were very happy with the entire process of installing solar on the home. Everyone we dealt with was professional and friendly. The panels look and work great. Unsure why we had to upgrade the electrical panel which was an expense but it’s done now.

A+ Service. Beyond happy with our decision!

We built our house in Wolcott, CT and moved in September 2021. Our electric bill steadily increased each month. Also, we lost power at least 10x during the first full year. Finally, after yet another Eversource rate increase in 2022, I finally decided decided it was time to sit down and do some research on solar. In a couple of weeks I felt it was time to engage several solar companies in the area for pricing, offers, etc. I had three must-haves: 1) overproduce (never want an electric bill again and for future), 2) quality workmanship, and 3) a battery backup for power outages. It didn't take long for me to decide that SAVKAT would be our company of choice. Knowing I had done my research, it was easy to see some of the companies trying to entice us with leasing, lower-quality panels, and shying away from battery backup. At the time, purchasing was far superior to leasing - plus all the tax incentives and early-adoption battery backup plans with Eversource. After sitting down and reviewing the numbers, I could either continue to wonder how much more our electric bill would be each month or pay a fixed amount per month (loan) for electricity at a significantly lower rate per month (based on avg monthly bills over a year). I'm currently writing this review after having the system installed and running for 9 months. In that timeframe, I have continued to receive credits every month on my Eversource account because we overproduce. I receive a quarterly payment at roughly 3 cents per kW we generate. We were early adopters (phase 1) of the SunPower Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program where Eversource uses our battery to help offset grid demand. This program is for 10 years which pays us per average kWh over each period. We are currently on pace to be around 6kWh per event, which will end up covering more than half of our monthly loan payments. The installation was a piece of cake - panel array and electrical in less than a day, and the battery was done the following day. The panel array was placed perfectly on the rear roof of our home, and they installed a single conduit down the roofline into the basement where our electric panel lives. All of the permits, surveys, Eversource meter installs, etc were handled by SAVKAT. All we had to do was sign on the dotted line whenever necessary. Once we got the ok from our town inspector and Eversource inspectors, the system was turned on. I also have to say I love the SunPower app on my phone. I find myself checking it multiple times a week to see how we're doing. It's super convenient and easy to use. Being able to generate custom reports from date x to date y lets me know if I'll be getting a credit or charge on my Eversource account. It also supplies me with the VPP average kWh for the incentive plan. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the decision to go with SAVKAT. From sales, to service, to installers, and everyone involved in the process - it was (and still is) a pleasure. I continue to recommend solar and SAVKAT to anyone who asks (and sometimes when they don't).

Marlborough CT solar install

Start to finish Savkat and SunPower lead the way. We interviewed several solar companies and chose SunPower. They had whats seems to be the best reviews online, the best panels, and they have the longest history in the business. Important to us as a warranty is only good if the seller stays in business. Worked with Jordan at Savkat, the installer for SunPower. Man does he know his stuff. Went through every detail and answered questions honestly, technically and with experience. He was involved in every step and was always a txt or call away. With the authority to make things happen, he can change schedules or modify designs as needed. No “need to ask the Man behind the curtain” type business here, this is a real service based company. Install went great, power output is where it should be. App works well and gives you a good idea of usage versus production day to day and month to month. After the install give it a few days to get data, starts off squirrelly with all the zeros for data. From start to finish we are very pleased and highly recommend Savkat and SunPower!

Best Providers

I have read about the transition to Solar and had got the quote from few other providers. While other providers were trying to upsell their product and finance options, Jordan from SAVKAT was very professional and his first meeting with me was very open to tell me that the project is not likely to have the expected ROI for the electricity rates in my City. Since I was in the market for EV, wanted to pursue this further and requested Jordan to give me a quote anyways and he worked with me addressing all my needs to share various option to address my current and future needs. The one stop shop for all Solar needs and warranty provided by SAVKAT (SunPower) made this deal a preferred option for me and from the time I signed the contract with them the communication was follow up constantly by the various people involved from SAVKAT and coordinated by Jordan all along. The team was quite professional and took care of all the formalities and the pre-inspection, installation and inspection process seamlessly to secure the activation ahead of time. Jordan has continued to stay in touch to share updates about the App and also about the functioning of the installation. Overall I am a very happy customer and strongly recommend SAVKAT

Great experience with Savkat!

My husband and I had solar installed by Savkat and had a great experience! I spoke to a number of different solar installation companies, and Jordan at Savkat was excellent and considerably more knowledgeable than people I spoke with at other companies. I tend to be very detailed oriented about any investment we are making, and he took a lot of time to answer all of my questions and explain anything that I was unsure about. He was also very responsive, responding immediately to any question and even texting me back or offering to talk on the phone outside of normal business hours. The installation was smooth and not disruptive even when we were working from home. Now it is amazing not to have an electric bill, especially during the summer when we are running AC. My husband and I enjoy checking the app to see how much solar power we generate every day :). Would highly recommend Savkat. THANK YOU!

When my wife and I decided to look into having Solar Power for our home, we did a lot of research. It was very important to us to have a company that would have the best panels available and the best service record. We chose SunPower because of their reviews and the reviews of the company that provided their service. That company was Savkat located in Bristol, CT. From the first visit from their representative, Jay Buckland, throughout the entire process, they were very knowledgeable and thorough in their explanations of what would take place and the timeline for it. When the panels were installed the group that did the job kept in very close contact with us, did their work in a timely manner and worked well together. They were considerate of our property and us. Matt, Jake, Damon, Justin and Ian did an amazing job. My wife and I are giving SunPower and Savkat a 5 Star Review on the installation and service provided. We also want to thank Sheri Barracliff for being available to answer our many questions and keeping us informed before and after the instillation. Jack and Marcia Campetti

When I began my solar journey I contacted at least 3 companies. Savkat was the 1st to reply, and make an appointment to speak with me and analyze my electric usage. From the very first meeting they told me they were number 1 in the business, and they could prove it! At first I was a bit skeptical (everybody claimed to be #1) It became immediately apparent after my first meeting with all 3 companies, that Savkat would be my choice! Their presentation was top notch. Not only was everything explained in detail, and took the time to answer my hundred questions, but they actually showed me how and why their system and products are superior. With demonstrations, scientific research, and customer satisfaction. Not only that, but without trash talking their competition, they warned me about potential pitfalls I may encounter with other companies. That either has less experience or inferior products. You would think that being on top of their game, they would be the most expensive. After all, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Savkat's estimate came in at the middle of the 3 quotes that I requested. All 3 systems quoted were nearly identical. And that was what cemented my choice for Savkat. Not only did I get the best products, system, and price, but they also had the best warranty, and monitoring system. I'd like to take a moment to thank and acknowledge the wonderful team at Savkat! Kevin M.- My initial sales rep. He was instrumental at explaining and demonstrating everything, As well as answering hundreds of my questions with patience and clarity. Jim F.- Interconnection. Ben B.-General manager. Stephen T.-Marketing rep. Robin T.-Project manager. To be honest, I have to say these are the people that make the magic happen internally, and behind the scenes, oiling the gears if you will. Everything from designing the system, acquiring permits with the town, communicating with the utility company, ordering supplies, scheduling, and the thousands of steps needed to make it all happen. The installers. The electricians, John, Scott, and Dan. As well as the roof crew Jose, Edwardo, and Melvin. These guys are the real hero's. Impeccable work from these guys considering it was like 15 degrees outside, with some snow still on the roof. On time, courteous, respectful, and thoughtful, just a great group of guys. The job was fully explained, beautiful work, and cleaned up like they were never there. Jordan B.-Man of many hats. I cannot say enough about Jordan, he was my main man throughout the whole process. Every single step of the way Jordan not only kept me in the loop, but made himself available any time I had a question, or inquiry about any aspect of the project. I can't express how refreshing it was to call him directly and be treated as if I was the most important client Savkat has. I felt more like a family member, than just some customer. Jordan would always greet me by name, no matter where or what he was doing he confidently handled any issue with precision and made sure it was done right. My solar system is now up and running! I am looking forward to many years of service from it. Not only the savings in energy, but also helping to do my part in reducing our need for fossil fuel, now and in the future. Thank You Savkat Sincerely Alexander U.

SavKat came out on top -and delivered!!!

I spent almost 14 months researching solar companies. Having them come into my home and selling me on their systems. But instead of selling me, SavKat did something quite remarkable. They “shared” with me why they were my best choice. They were true to their word in every way. It could not have gone smoother or their crews been more professional. They kept their word every step of the way and the knowledge that they are a local company that will be there for me over the next 20 years, played a big role. Everyone will be going solar. The decision left to be made is with who. Call SavKat Solar today and let them share with you why it should be them.

Pleasure to work with people with integrity

Prior to engaging with Savkat, I had never worked with Doug Hoffman. Doug made working on our solar project both a pleasure and informative. There is a lot to understand in making the right financial decision with solar and Doug was a huge help. He gave me background that allowed me to easily do my independent research. Extremely helpful in all ways.

Current Solar Install Experience

After months of researching solar panel technology; installers and expenditures for my central CT location I found Savkat and Sunpower. The information on the panels, technology, warranty, efficiency made them the only viable choice. Next i came down to who would the installer be. Well I only had 1 choice and THANKFULLY it was Savkat. From start to finish of the project it could not have gone better. The pre-acceptance video call, emails, phone calls were all very precise, business professional and met all of the questions that I could think of. Once I made the decision for purchase each and every step to having functioning panels was planned out to t "T". As a former project manager myself, I was well aware at the steps along the way. Savkat had them laid out and milestones were made aware immediately. Design was perfect; installation was perfect; inspection was quick and perfect; signoff was perfect. Did I mention the whole project went PERFECT. I am absolutely please with my decision and the product received. With Savkat as my go-to contractor Sunpower has a true diamond of an installer. Happy - yes. Recommend both companies - already doing it. Thank you.

Excellant solar company

Hi my name is Dan and I'm a retired Mechanical Contractor, I did extensive research on various solar systems before choosing Savkat Solar and SunPower Systems. I chose the 400 watt panel, 9.2 KW system for my "Green Home" in Berlin CT. The system cost after incentives was $ 23,097.00 and was installed in one day. The installers were very professional and showed great care for my property. I found the owner, Steve Salansky very knowledgeable about the different panels that SunPower offered. I would rank SunPower's systems as one of the most efficient on the solar market today.
