SCSP Solar (formerly South Carolina Solar Project)

they go above and beyond to install and maintain and monitor the system and have superior customer service should you have any issues.

George, Tim, and Nikki provide excellent customer care. Their depth of knowledge, willingness to educate us, and then re-educate us, is paired with their kindness, attentiveness and patience. We are still working with these folks to adjust our settings to maximize our savings and are thankful for their partnership in this endeavor.

We have great news to share. Two weeks ago, just before dusk, I had the chance to turn the system on. The system is working and fully online—PERFECT! SCSP Solar delivered one of the best installations and products we've ever purchased. The entire process—from the initial quote to going online and generating the first kWhs—was completed in under nine weeks. That’s impressive for such a complex solar system! We truly appreciate all of you and everyone involved in this process for your hard work and dedication!

Great service and great work

Very happy with the company and everyone I worked with. I especially like how they keep up with you via text messaging. It is very personable and easy to ask questions. They are very detailed and provide all the information you could ask for. They also took care of the HOA permissions for me which is a huge plus. The installation of the system is very organized and is not an eye sore, which is what I actually expected. Over all, one of the best companies and people I have ever worked with on a home project. A big thank you to all of them.

Paul was great to work with all throughout the transaction. the installers worked diligently to get install done in a timely manner. Work looks great and it really works to cut price off my electric bill.

Professionally and timely installation

Awesome Choice for Solar Company

Randomly searching for a solar company and I came across this company which isn't too far from my town. Wanted to get a quote and idea what solar/battery would cost and what else I needed to get, if any. I didn't expect an in person 1 on 1 quote and them driving out their way to go over panels and battery with such great details. I've used the energysage site and got quotes from other places but only one meeting and that was via video chat type platform but that company gave me options but was trying to up sale and get me to get the more expensive stuff. The person that saw me was a gentleman named Paul was very informative and didn't peer pressure me like a quick lube place or what a salesman pitch would do. While talking with Paul, only thing I needed to do different to get the most out of my solar was the removal of many many trees that would shade my roof. This was something I did on my own. He gave me options and even suggested things that cost less and still would be a great option. I elected to go with the panels I wanted and battery. I went with some Phono Solar 400 Watt panels and the Tesla Powerwall 3. When the time came for the installation of panels and battery. I got to meet the workers and interact with them. The days they were working, it did start to drizzle and rain some but the workers kept on doing what they could until they couldn't anymore safely. They have some of the hardest working people I've ever seen! After the install was complete. It wasn't long, for me, for the county inspector to come out and pass my system. What took the longest was Duke approving, but that's normal cause of paperwork and getting things changed. I don't fault them for that. When I was able to flip the switch and turn things on. It was like a kid in a candy store, I was excited and wanted to see what my system was capable of. I'll find out on my next bill. The company actually notified me that there was something that needed to be addressed and sent someone out to address some reading issue for my system. They are on top of their game of taking care of their customers. From Paul to Taylor to August to the workers. They spoke to me like a person and not a number. All professional to me. SN- I've been stat tracking my electrical use, solar, and charging on the Tesla app and the Enphase app. It's addictive to me.

We’ve had a good experience contracting a rooftop solar installation with SCSP. Chris our salesman did a great job of explaining the installation options, insurances, credits, and pricing. The staging schedule included permits, power company paperwork, inspections needed, delivery of equipment, and installation date. The job took about 2 week's which included inspections. A simple app on my phone lets me see the operation and savings of energy the panels are providing. Taylor and August monitor the system weekly and answered my questions. Thank you all at SCSP for a smooth installation. Geoff Briand Greer SC

Excellent customer service and trustworthy company

We had been wanting to install solar panels for two years and waited until we had found a company we wanted to work with. SCSP is run by people who have solar panels themselves and have high standards for making their design match customer electricity consumption. We have some shade on our panels, and they accounted for that in their design. We are making the electricity we expected to make. Our questions were answered with a lot of expertise, and they helped us understand our electricity bill which is a little confusing at first. SCSP is well-regarded by roofing companies and has longevity in the business, both of which was are important to us. We recommend SCSP highly.

Awesome Solar Company

We have always wanted to do our part in helping reduce our carbon footprint while saving some money doing so. I've even turned in my car for an EV and now we wanted to add solar energy to our home. We've done the research and am very pleased that we chose SCSP Solar to help us with this transition. First, the solar rep Paul Spence was very knowledgeable and honest with his presentation and Tayler, the Customer Service Expert was there for us all the way as our system got up and running. The administration setup was the longest wait, but necessary in order to get our county and electric company notified. After that, it was smooth sailing. If you're in the market for solar, this is the company to call.

Very Helpful

Everything went extremally smoothly, and on time. Very nice to have them walk through all the steps and even fill out the paperwork for the power company.

Informative first meeting

With the cost of electricity going up and never coming down my wife and I decided to look further into having solar at our home . Georgia Power had three or rate increases in a year. For 2 months we had the highest utility bills ever that I've had in my life. We feel lucky to have met Clay Copeland district manager of Scsp solar. He came to our home where we could ask him questions I knew little about solar power and neither did my wife. We have so many questions and he was able to explain it to us in layman's terms. He wanted to pick our brains too to find out what we were expecting and what we were trying to accomplish. Explain the federal government's rebates of 30% you talked about financing different rate plans and how long it will take for us to accomplish paying it off. He showed us the design and informed us the amount of solar that we would be getting throughout the year. We never felt pressured or rushed to make any decisions. I don't think he would tell us anything that wasn't true. We look forward to make a commitment with Clay in the future. A word to the wise be careful there are a lot of sales people out there some of them give you a price you can't refuse but watch out there may be add-ons that you don't know about. It's a big investment. Find someone with integrity. Someone that is truly looking out for your interest and needs.Someone that you can trust.

We have wanted to do solar panel installation for quite some time. We finally decided to pursue the project. Our goal was not to save money - although that helps - but rather do our part help saving the planet for generations to come. We contacted several companies and decided on SCSP. Jon Mason was very easy to work with. He responded to our questions timely and with patience. We were impressed with the materials they proposed to use. The process of getting approval from the county was not quick. The whole process took about 3 months. Overall we are very pleased with our decision to proceed with the installation.

My wife and I recently moved to our "forever home" on Isle of Palms. We really wanted to minimize our energy usage from the grid while also saving money in the long haul since we're planning to be here for a long time. We interviewed and got quotes from multiple providers, but Jon Mason was hands down the best person we interviewed. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He not only knows solar from top to bottom, but is also versed in building codes and in working with local power companies like Dominion. In the end, SCSP exceeded our expectations. I've been working in building design and construction for more than 30 years, so I'm used to taking whatever schedule I first hear and doubling it. In the case of SCSP, they actually beat their originally estimated schedule by many weeks. Their app made it very clear what stage our project was at, and they handled all approvals by HOAs and the power company. When it came time for the installation, their crew showed up right on schedule and completed all work in three days, just as they estimated. The team was courteous and collaborative in working with us to locate batteries and other equipment. In the end is was a fantastic experience, and we love seeing how much solar power we're selling back to Dominion. We highly recommend SCSP to anyone looking to lower their carbon footprint AND their energy bills.

Excellent Service

SCSP was excellent and I have recommended them to many friends.

Great service on setting up and maintaining home solar

From start to finish, this was a great crew to work with. Very responsive in terms of changes in timeline for installation and just staying in touch. When one panel was not working properly after installation, they were on it asap. So far, great company to work with.

Fast and professional

Working with SCSP was super simple. Jon Mason came to the house for an introduction, and ended up measuring, sizing, and building a proposal for us in real-time. From there the process ran smoothly and efficiently, including the install which only took about half a day. We've had the system for 3 months now, and the net metering has totally balanced out our electric bill for each full month.

First Solar Experience - SCSP A+

The overall process from meeting with Jon Mason and discussing the alternative to deciding on the layout to installation and go live was a seamless experience. Tayler kept me informed and up to date on the process and communicated very well. My HOA was the only hiccup and SCSP did a great job working with them to get the project approved. Installation took one day and the inspector from the town was very impressed with the craftmanship and tying the electrical in on the side of the house so that it was not easily seen but secure. The inspector mentioned that a lot of jobs are sloppy, but raved about this one! Dominion came out quickly and we are live! Looking forward to project 2...the battery!

Solar Installation

We planned to become solar after we remodeled our house in 2019 however we did not know how to find a contractor. SCSP was the first one we contacted and we are glad we did. They assessed our property and our electricity consumption. Quickly they provided options on the number of solar panels and their locations. The sales process was expedited with detailed documentation of the proposed system layout. The installation took a week. Although I am very picky about cable runs not hidden, I can say that the installation was very well done. We were nervous on a 70' long trench to dig through our new backyard but we do not notice it anymore. The connection took one month, which I would have wished to be shorter. Our solar system consists of 63 panels and three sets of batteries. It has been running since February: - We have seen a major impact on our electric bill. Our last bill was divided by eight with even a refund on one of our meters. - The Enphase application is a great tool that provides real-time tracking of the electricity consumption, the solar production, the battery charging, and the supply to the grid - We experienced a 4hr power outage after a storm It was nice to have power while our neighborhoods were in the dark. - SCSP is very proactive in providing support, when we have concerns. Overall we are pleased with our systems. It is a pricey systems and remains pricey even with the tax credit but the saving on electricity bill will definitively help over the years. Being independent from the grid in case of loss of power, as well as minimizing the impact on the environment, are both a great feeling. We strongly recommend SCSP for their quality of service.

Jon and his team made the whole experience easier than I could’ve imagined. He clearly laid out financing options and explained the whole process. Not only did he make the solar job run smoothly, he also coordinated with an HVAC technician to get our unit installment scheduled as well. The whole process was finished within a couple weeks and we couldn’t be happier.

Couldn't be happier

My wife and I spoke with a number of solar companies before we connected with SCSP Solar. Switching to solar can be a daunting process, but it was obvious to us from the first meeting that SCSP Solar had their act together and knew what they were doing. They designed a system that was not only tailored to meet our specific energy needs but also sits discretely on the southern exposure of our roof so that it's hardly even noticeable. The SCSP team worked with us every step of the way, from system design to filing all the paperwork to installation, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The system works as advertised, and we are already seeing a HUGE reduction in our electricity bill. The app used to monitor the system is easy to use and allows us to monitor the system performance any time we want. We enthusiastically recommend SCSP Solar to anyone interested in switching to solar.

As promised....

With an abundance of choices for solar installers, sorting out and selecting "the" one is a challenge. Understandably, they all promote that they have the best value, components, service, installation...best everything. After listening to and reading a number of proposals, researching system components and capabilities, comparing costs and financing, in the end, selecting a company is an act of faith in their integrity and performance. SCSP has a great team and product. They are good communicators and have skilled crews. They were on time and task throughout the entire process. So far so good with SCSP.

Great people and great company to work with

I was skeptical about buying into Solar for residential and Nick was very patient and helpful with answering all the questions I had and was transparent about the whole process. For people getting into Solar, I recommend you do your own research and dont shy asking questions and good companies like SCSP Solar would answer all your questions without reservations. Its been 2 months since I had Solar and so far I am satisfied with the production. Given i had my solar installed towards end of summer, I am surely expecting an increase in production in the summers. No customer is obliged to purchase solar from any given company. but do get an appointment with SCSP solar and get insight on what Solar grid can offer you. Cheers!

We contacted three companies about installing solar panels on our roof. We chose SCSP because we felt that we would get the best equipment at the best price and because they could answer our questions in-depth and in terms we could understand. They were on top of all aspects of the installation process including procuring all permits and licenses. They were responsive to all our questions during the installation period. Our new system is up and running and works perfectly. A five-star job!!!

Unparalleled Success

From first contact thru project management, installation and review……all was efficient and professional.

South Carolina Solar Project - Highly Recommended

The sales rep, Jonathan Mason, was a pleasure to work with. He was well versed in all aspects of the installation and was able to answer all of my questions, especially when it came to the materiel specifications, installation, and tax credits. The installation crew did an outstanding job. All the equipment and conduit was installed neatly with a minimum of street front exposure. Since I used to install similar equipment for a living, I was especially critical in my inspection and I was unable to find any deficiencies in workmanship. The support staff did an excellent job keeping me up to date on the entire progress, and followed up after the installation was completed to ensure my satisfaction.

Super Smooth

Had a very smooth experience from start to finish with SCSP. During installation, one panel was accidentally broken. But the installers corrected the issue with no trouble at all. The employees seemed to take pride in making the installation "flow" with the contours of the house while still keeping everything in code. The code inspector told me that this was the best job he has inspected. He also gave high marks because the installers used the very latest fuses (with sight windows to determine their status). Very impressed.

Excellent experience

I was linked with multiple installers. South Carolina Solar Project (SCSP) was the only company that sent a representative to my house; others scheduled an appointment and then converted to phone only consultation. When Jon from SCSP came out on initial consultation, he spent several hours, including inspecting my attic to detail exact plans for project. After signing the contract, system was installed in record time (just over 1 month from time of contract to time of turning system on), given all permits and inspections required. Install was clean and professional. When installers had to enter attic thru my house the were respectful of taking shoes off and placing coverings over rug where ladder was placed. Installers were willing to explain system and wiring during install process. Additionally, I was able to support a local company. Highly recommend South Carolina Solar Project.

Good Program Management and Install Team

Company recommended by a friend. Once started the installation moved very quickly. Had an initial failure of an Inverter which was resolved within a couple of weeks. Additional communications equipment was added giving more insight into system operation and function. The company has been very involved with monitoring system operation and insuring it is functioning correctly. I have been very pleased with the project managers oversight and communication regarding system operation.

I met with a couple of the larger corporate solar companies and got the used car salesman feeling after hearing their sales pitch. Jon was knowledgeable, patient, and down to earth. He took the time to design a system that fit my needs perfectly and has performed as advertised. The install was done in a day and the workmanship was flawless. Jon even lined up a crew to trim and remove any trees that blocked the panels. I have recommended this company to friends and family and will continue to do so.
