Watch for changes to your system after the quote

Around early 2022 I was getting quotes to add solar to our house and went with Solar Planet. I was given a quote for a 12 kW system as I was looking to produce about 100% of my previous year’s usage. The system was installed in May but due to issues with approval with the electric company, was not working until around August 2022. I questioned the production of energy for about a year and kept being reassured it was working as installed. Finally, I was informed by Solar Planet, as I questioned what a 12 kW system should produce, that I did not have a 12 kW system, but instead an 8 kW system, even though I paid the quoted price for a 12 kW system (2/3 of the system I thought I was getting). I asked that my system be corrected to the 12 kW system I had been given a quote for but was refused. I hired an attorney, and again, tried to come to an agreement but was never given anything in writing. Eventually I had to file a lawsuit in court at which time Solar Planet finally agreed to install the system for which I was originally quoted. Solar Planet did install the remaining quoted system and the lawsuit has been dropped.

Response from Solar Planet Inc

Our company’s integrity is something we will never compromise. We rely on the good nature of people to willingly pay us for the valuable service we provide. In the rare event someone is unhappy we do everything we can to make them happy. When clients don't want to pay we essentially pay them to help them go solar because the only negative energy we provide is the minus on the electric bill. This is an opportunity to educate anyone reading this that the utility sets the limit on how big a system can be. It is based on the customers’ last 12 months of kwh usage. If the size of a system changes, during the permit process we communicate with the customer and send permit plans back to the engineering dept to redesign the system. We include our clients in all communication. Our goal is to build the biggest solar system the utility will approve and allow us to interconnect. This is vitally important so the customer can send excess power they do not use during the day, back to the utility for credit. At the end of every month the client is billed the net difference. Net metering is the difference between what a client solar system produced and did not use in the home minus what client purchased from grid at night. If a client produced 1000 kwh and used 1000 kwh they will likely have a minimum $20 bill or whatever the minimum charge is for that utility. When the utility does not offer net metering we incorporate energy storage so our clients can store excess power for night and have power when the power goes out. We care about our clients’ projects as much as they do and include them in communication every step of the way. Our solar systems are installed perfectly and can do a lot to make our clients more energy independent, happiness comes from within. We appreciate and feel blessed to have so many people trusting Solar Planet. We thank you for voting us best solar provider in KC.

The BEST Solar Installer in KS/MO!

I hired Jae and Solar Planet to install a brand new 25kw solar array as well as 6 Tesla powerwalls and 2 SPAN smart electrical panels. Jae and his team did an absolutely amazing job and provided constant communication throughout the entire length of the project. It took my local utility about 4 weeks to finally turn the system on after installation was completed and Jae was great about setting expectations about the length and what to expect at every turn. I would not hesitate to hire him again for further expansion of my system! The system works flawlessly and has exceeded my expectations! Thanks Jae and Solar Planet!

Thank you Chris for your faith in our company! Nothing better than running on sunshine!

Perfect Pergola !

I chose Jae and Solar Planet because they provided the most flexibility and options for what I wanted to achieve. Most solar vendors just want to sell you what they have, Jae listened to me and put together a solution based on my unique needs.

Where there is will to go solar, you and I found a way! We appreciate your business and inspiration!

Tesla Home Charger Installation / Solar Panel Quote

I called around to many places seeking Tesla Home Charger installation services and all were either in the dark or backlogged many months for a simple 60A drop / extension with conduit into a garage. Solar Planet Inc sent out a knowledgeable technician and within a week I was up and running. Not only that but my delivery date on the charger itself changed last minute and they came back out a no charge to finish the job. Jay and team were super friendly, I would highly recommend. A+++

Best Value Solar Company in the KC Metro

I am not an easy customer to deal with. I interviewed and had several quotes when I was ready to buy. No company hit all the marks like Solar Planet did. Not only did they offer the best components but they were also priced competitively. I have no doubt that Jae and Juanc at Solar Planet will have my back if anything negative is to happen to the system. It’s been active for about 9 months and has been performing flawlessly. This business truly cares about what solar offers for the good of the earth and community more so than taking a huge profit. Beware, most solar companies are not your friend. They want to markup the services of a local installer. Solar Planet has a diverse product offering and will consult with you on what’s best for your situation. Not only am I a happy customer, but I also made a friend in the process. There is no better feeling than running your AC or charging your electric vehicle with sunshine. The economics finally make sense within the last couple years and it’s silly today to buy your power from the power company when you can cost effectively produce your own and recover/return 300% of your investment over the life of the system. In 9 years I’ll have my investment back on a system that may last for 40 years considering the quality of today’s components. Great job Solar Planet!

Fantastic Solar Energy

I have had an amazing experience with solar energy. Jae made the process really easy and explained it all thoroughly from conception to completion. Jae has a lot of experience under his belt so safety was always a priority! He was also great pointing me in the right direction for tax credits! His entire team was respectful, courteous, timely, and knowledgeable. I recently sold my home and it sold for $70k more than appraised; I believe in part to solar energy! I can't wait to put solar panels on my new house and start living off the grid again! If you are even considering it, give them a call! They can customize any price point and financing was super simple!

A great company to do business with

After interviewing with 10 different solar companies we decided to go with Jay and Solar Planet Inc and are very satisfied that we did. There was not any surprises along the way. His team was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Some of the companies we spoke with felt very forceful and strictly about the sales. Jay was truly genuine in helping us to best meet our energy needs.

Thank you Ben, that means a lot.

Completely satisfied

A local company, I dealt with both the owners who will pick up phone every time I called and answered all my questions especially because I am not tech savvy They were cheaper compared to everyone else because of low overhead it seems. Jay is easy to work with.
