Fonzie of Solar Energy World

If you want the best solar deal in town and great customer service, look for Fonzie (Alfonzo Rodriguez). He is the BEST!!! He was very informative, helpful, and friendly. I can tell that he is detailed oriented, committed and hard-working. He even helped us find a good home insurance. The whole process was stress free because he thrives to provide the best customer service experience. Thank you so much Fonzie.

Misleading

I do t know if it’s solar energy world or sun run but we are paying for the panels and have been getting $170 electric bills every month. Not saving us anything. I’ve called and no one cares.

An excellent solar energy company

David Garcia (the sales person) gave me an outstanding presentation. David helped understand the advantages of installing a solar system on my house. Also, he clearly explained the whole process. The panel installation was completed quickly and professionally. The crew was excellent and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions. The job was done with the expected quality. I recommend Solar Energy World to anyone who's looking for a fair and honest company!!

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Solar Energy is in NJ but services PA also. My journey to deciding to go with solar and to go with Solar Energy World. My neighbor got solar on her house. I had a lot of questions and she referred me to her company. I looked at this reviews and was not happy with other customers experience. So, I ventured out on my own looking for a solar company. I found Solar Energy World and I liked the reviews. I was so nervous about going solar and was very much on the fence if I should make this choice. I had a lot of questions that needed to be answered before I decide to go solar. When calling the office to schedule an appointment I told them I will not sign anything on first appointment, I just have questions and want information. Carson Landis was our sales guy. He came on time and on date as expected. He was very polite, patient and informative. I didnt have very many questions after he did his presentation. However, I did have follow up questions and he was happy to stay and answer them. I did tell him that I would not sign any agreement that night, He did not pressure us to sign or do anything. He was just happy to answer questions inform us so we can make the right decision for our family. By the end of the night, you would think my husband and Carson were good friends. He was very personable, and it didn't hurt that he use to play for Penn State, My husbands favorite team. About a week later, we were ready to move forward and everyone was there to help us at every turn. I never felt like once the papers are signed we are on our on our own. The installation was breeze and very nice men that was doing this for us. They cleaned up after themselves and was very efficient. Solar Energy stayed with us through the whole process, even up to the moment we flip the switch to turn on our Solar for the very first time. Carson and the ladies in the office was there to help us through it all... we figured today we will be saving $70.00+ a month in electricity and our electric company will be continuing raising their rates while we will be paying the exact same for the next 25 years. BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR OUR FUTURE, We appreciate everything you have done for us. Thank you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I had a great experience working with Dillan to secure my solar panels. He was available to answer questions and walk me through the whole process. Even after the solar panel had been installed, Dillian still kept in contact.

Solar Energy World Is an excellent company to work with!.

I am so satisfied. I have been handing out JD's (our sales rep.) card. I live in Altamonte Springs Florida. Their workmanship is excellent. The gentlemen who did the work were excellent. JD was excellent and informed me of everything that was going on. The people working for them are knowledgeable and clean up everything. I can not complain. They did everything that was on the plans. It looks much better than any other people that I know with solar as I have been looking into solar for 10 years and have done my homework. The price came out to be what JD told me I would have to pay . I an very satisfied. They did an excellent job installing it with no damage. It looks neat on the roof, and I like it. I have sent everyone I know their information., and I have had a lot of people stop and take their number off the sign

Zach was my SEW contact and provided excellent service and responsivity throughout the project. I put in an online inquiry on a Saturday afternoon and he was at my house on Monday for an in person meeting. That kind of personal touch and quickness was how Zach did business throughout the sales process and into after sales and construction. I'd definitely recommend SEW to folks, and Zach was a big part of that.

Solar installation

My wife Stacey and I have decided to go solar, My neighbor recommended us to call solar energy world.I called a few days later and was asked a few questions. And was told I would receive a call back the next day by a consultant. The next day I received a call from Sean Grieves, who answer all our questions we have had, and set an appointment up for later in the week, Sean came out to our house and explained the benefits of solar soup to nuts. By the end of our appointment my wife and I already made our minds up to sign a contract with solar energy. Sean was very knowledgeable on solar. And has touch base with us through out the inspection process. We are very please with our installation and product. We have referred a neighbor and will continue to refer solar energy world. Sincerely, Craig Turner 1475 cobblestone way Quakertown pa 18951

Outstanding Experience

From my initial consult to project completion, all aspects were first Rate. All meetings were informative but low pressure. Chris, my representative, was exceptionally accessible and informative throughout the process. My panel production over the first six months has exceeded expectations!!

Worse communication

We have had the worse time getting any response from our agent. Spent over $100k on panels and need repairs. We have not received any response or reply only the run around. Highly disappointed and continuing to receive an electricity bill as thou we don’t have energy panels!!

A Team of Professionals - Great Results

I contacted Solar Energy World for an installation quote based on positive reviews on this site, and after filtering for size (I want a company big enough to back up their warranty claims). I had interviewed 2 other companies (including one very large installer, with a national footprint) and had been very disappointed hype-driven sales pitch that didn't spend enough time looking at the specifics of my house (amount of southern exposure, potential tree coverage, roof size, electrical usage, etc). Brent Cotton was the sales contact for me - he was knowledgeable and capable of answering my questions mid-presentation, and then reshaping his presentation to address my concerns and interests. He was also very attentive to my interests in financing options and pricing. In the end he offered a very compelling price, with the system I wanted (production capacity, inverter type, etc). After that it was a pretty streamlined process. I have an HOA that needed to approve this, so that inserted a bit more into the process, but they handled that for me. The engineering review and design was completed quickly (less than a week), and getting on the schedule was fast as well. The actual install was fast - 2 days for 38 panels on a 2 story house. It was completed by two 2-man teams working in parallel - one working on the electrical side and the other installing the panels. Probably the longest wait was for utility approval (TECO) - not the fault of Solar Energy World. I've had the system for a year and it has produced over 20 MWh. I qualified for the 30% tax credit as well. Understanding your electrical usage and **the pricing of your electrical utility** is critical in figuring out if this makes **financial** sense for you. My electricity is pretty cheap (~$0.11/kWh), so that actually makes the payback period for this investment longer - but the deal I got from Solar Energy World works out for me (the "mega-installers" deal WOULD NOT). A final note - I did have a panel fail (!!!!). I noticed it on the handy app that is provided (Enlighten - I think it comes with all Enphase micro-inverter installations). I contacted SEW, they verified it on their end (they can still see the system), and a couple of weeks later I had an installer on my roof, removing the old panel and installing a new one. No hassle at all.
