Great company with the Best Customer Support bar none. I`m in the process of having this company upgrade my home efficeny for heating and cooling by sealing air leaks and installing insulation.

Latest bad review thumbs down

CollegeParkMD | 10/06/2013

Solar panels with battery backup

No issues from technical side, but after-sales customer support is not professional. Our Zantrex/Snider box stopped inverting during real-life grid outages. Standard Solar sent a technician who couldn't find or fix the problem, but sent $760 bill without explanation or warning. We had to deal with Snider on our own, and Standard Solar had problem to find proof of purchase. When they send technician to the house, they charge $92/hour, including transportation, on-site downloading manufacturer's instructions, etc. Not the level of service one would expect.

Installing solar was on our list for a while, Standard Solar helped make it happen. We enjoyed reading the founders book "Chasing the Sun" and impressed to see his experiences and solar knowledge reflected throughout the organization. Creative design work, solid sales and top installation team.

Standard Solar provided an excellent system installed at a good price. The installtion was top notch and the team was excellent to work with. I am very pleased with process. I am just waiting on getting setup with the PMJ account with Srecs. I had to work closely with the utility company to get a new meter installed - which was a little bit of a hassel. But in the end it all worked out and I learned more from the process than I did before.

My experience with Standard Solar has been exceptional. They continue to engage with me sending monthly newsletters and they also are sponsoring a Solar Tour to encourage people to make the transition to solar. They are not just a company that is working for a good bottom line, they are truly concerned about the health of our planet and reducing the local regions carbon footprint.

The gentleman who planned our system appeared to be new and somewhat confused. Somewhere along the way, the plan was miscommunicated to the work crew, and the panels had to be moved unnecessarily affecting the brand new roof. Standard Solar does not adequately understand and explain the federal tax credit for solar energy. Our accountant did the research and straightened that out for us- the result was a net $ 4500 loss of credit.

I found the people of Standard Solar to be friendly, thorough, patient, and conscientious. They were responsive to any questions or matters that I raised. Their sense of professionalism is unmatched by any establishment with whom I have done business in my 30plus years of homeownership. Working with Standard Solar was a pleasure. My reward has been a 66% reduction in electric costs in my all-electric home over the past year and one-half.

I`m especially greatful for Standard Solar for handling all of the paperwork for the state and county. I love the system. My first two bills for my whole electric house were $ 7 and $ 15 and I look forward to many sunny days ahead. Standard Solar was great and continues to be incredibly helpful!

Very professional, educated, and enthusiastic staff. We were very pleased with the proposal, installation, and end product. We would highly recommend Standard Solar to others interested in installing a system.
