Sunation is the BEST!

We had our solar panels installed in November 2017, and we are so happy we did! We shopped around a bit and had several salespeople come to give their pitch, but none were able to give us the facts and statistics about our needs except for Steve Foley at Sunation. The installation went very smoothly and they were neat and clean. For the past couple of months we have only paid PSEG about $12 for the line into the house. We are currently working on a negative electric usage, which means we are producing more electricity than what we are using. We are so satisfied with the whole process from beginning to end. We are saving money AND we are helping the environment. WIN, WIN !!

Perfection Achieved!

We could not have been more pleased with our solar system and the job Sunation did. It was everything they promised in more. From the second we met with Mike Copeland our sales rep, everything went just as planned and the system performed even a little better then expected. The install was perfect, thats all I can say. It was a smooth process, and looks incredible. Thanks for an incredible job!

Amazing from sales to installation!

I met with 3 solar installers before deciding to go with SUNation. I knew right away after meeting with John Leach that SUNation was the way to go. They weren't pressuring, but still showed me the benefits of going solar and going solar with them. Even though I didn't have a year's worth of usage (I had just bought the house), SUNation made the right recommendation. Installation went great as well as did after installation support. I would highly recommended SUNation.

Solar Rule

State and federal rebates and credits don't always come in one year , depending on income , so beware with the one year cash loan you may have to take out of pocket to pay some of it

Very happy with Sunation. Tom Scalia was a great representative of the company. The office staff was extremely professional and updated me every step of the way. We are very happy that we chose to go solar.

Exceeded expectations

One year of solar in and couldn’t be happier!!!! We interviewed several solar companies before this huge investment and nobody compared to SUNation. You will see the difference too. Dealing with this local based company has made all the difference! We met with Mike Copeland and he was well researched and knowledgeable on our house. He spent two hours with us and explained everything in such detail that we could understand. He answered emails we sent after our meeting and held our hand every step of the way. The installation was seamless. The installers were professional and friendly. They explained exactly what would take place and kept the workspace neat and clean. Everyone we have spoken with at SUNnation has truly gone above and beyond. We felt like a top priority at all times. Now that the panels have been in place for a year, we have seen the incredible savings. Our electric bills are $13. The panels have produced slightly more than quoted and we are absolutely thrilled with this experience!!

My Home Solar Panel Installation

This is one of the best companies I’ve ever hired for my home improvement projects. Their price was the best one among the offered by several Solar companies and I own the Solar Panel System. My Solar Panel System has been running just fine since day one, 11/16/2017. I didn’t know any of their employees beforehand. I searched online and checked quite a few Solar companies’ customer reviews and picked up them since they have been one of the highly scored Solar companies. I called them and based upon my phone conversations with them I felt they were little bit different than a lot of other companies in the Solar industry - customer oriented from everyone i talked with, honest, did what they said and said what they did. I had few concerns during the project implementation and they addressed for me via their mindset “customers are always the first”. My experiences with them from management to the Solar installation crew were great and they were very professional, well educated and disciplined. The work was very well done with quality and I can tell since I come from electrical engineering background and I have been paying significant attentions to Solar industry for several years. The crew said to me that they took honor for their installation jobs when I asked them why you did it this way and not the other ways and other kinds of install related questions during installing my Solar Panel System. Their CEO and the company co-founder Scott M called me on a weekend after the project was completed and asked my feedback and I told him that you were lucky having very good employees and mgmt teams working with you and you have large company’s quality client services processes and small company’s working culture, i.e. helping each other to make customers happy. I told him to treat his staff well and they are his valuable asset. With these employees they are going to reach to the next success level. And he told me that it took 15 years for them to have current well established work processes. By the way I never knew and had phone calls with him before. I should say that I was also lucky finding a such good Solar company for my Solar Panel System project since you may already know nowadays it’s not easy to get good companies for your home improvement projects. Now you should realize that you won’t get wrong to give your home Solar Panel Installation project to them. Cheers! Ming ------------------------- UPDATE MAY 2018: At the end of last year I wrote about my wonderful solar panel project experiences with Sunation Solar Systems at Solar Reviews website. Now I updated my solar panels status with real dollar numbers so you can see how happy I've been with my solar panels. Sunation installed my solar panel in mid of November last year. Starting from this March my monthly electrical bill has gone down zero usage (actually I have credits electricity generated from my solar panels) and I’ve only paid the service charges which is $11ish ever since. That being said my yearly electrical bill cost will be around $140 and in seven-eight years my solar panel investment cost will be completely paid back. After that my solar panels will make money for me, i.e. several thousand dollars per year.

Solar Transition

The transition has been smooth. After calling Sunation I was assured I would not be billed twice for the month of September. They were quick to return my call. I have had nothing but a positive experience so far.

Best Decision I ever made is to go Solar

Steve Foley who lives in our neighborhood was very helpful from the start to installation of the solar system. All the necessary permits were obtained by SUNation. Installation was completed with in two months after I signed the contract. Installation crew did an excellent job and the system is in operation for 10 months with no problem. The finance department was very helpful in providing necessary tax forms during the tax season. The entire staff of SUNation is dedicated to providing excellent service in addition to preserving the environment for future generations.

Love my Solar!

To the people of SUNation, My Solar System was installed on 5/27/16. I'd done my homework on solar power, and met with a few companies besides SUNation. I met with Solar Site Evaluator Tom Connolly. He was knowledgeable and didn't try pressuring me to sign immediately. He also didn't try being phony with me by acting like we were best buddies since forever. He's a down to earth regular guy. I became very partial to SUNation after reading the many positive reviews on the company and it's team. I experienced some unprofessionalism with the competition while informing them of my decision for installation with SUNation. The salespersons attitudes became condescending, for example by telling me my house was going to burn down by using solaredge inverter, another sales person telling me what a mistake I was making by choosing SUNation's system. I was being fed a host of lies while they didn't realize I did my homework and I was very capable of making my own decision. That was the first indication I was glad I selected SUNation. I was kept fully in the loop with every step of the way since signing the contract. Maria, Victoria, Beth, Tammy and Gina.....you all were very friendly, informed, and quickly addressed any concerns I had. I greatly appreciated communications and assistance from all of you! Another indication I was happy to select SUNation. On installation day, Nick, Jeff, Kyle and Mike K. were at my doorstep ready to go...they explained every detail and layout of the installation and asked me if I was pleased with a few minor changes in layout. They actually seemed to enjoy their work as well as working with each other. They really cared about doing a professional job. And they left behind a complete solar system...nothing else. Happy again to have chosen SUNation! Installation was completed in 7 hours! Oh did I mention CEO Scott Maskin called personally to thank me for selecting SUNation. I appreciated the gesture! SUNation, is a professionally run company where the team members truly care about customer satisfaction. Everyone I had contact with was friendly, courteous, pleasantly informal yet professional. I was absolutely satisfied with the installation from beginning to end and I do not hesitate recommending SUNation. To the SUNation team, thank you for a great experience and I wish you and the company continued success! Sincerely, Christopher Pepe Farmingdale, NY OH and for the first time ever I can't wait to see my electric bill, rather lack of!!!

Great Experience

Did research and spoke with many people who had solar panels placed. Looked at numerous companies but SUNation kept getting the best comments. Met with Bill Auth, solar site evaluator, in August and we discussed system design and financial options. SUNation has a streamlined process involving drawing up actual site plans, obtaining permits and having the system installed by a wonderful crew all the while being kept informed of progress by the home office staff including Lynn, Gina, Victoria, co-founder Scott Maskin and others. The system was generating power by December. This is a vibrant, growing Long Island based company and I have already recommended them to neighbors and friends. I believe you'll be pleased when you have SUNation place your solar panels and system.

Top Notch

We are extremely happy that we chose SUNation for our solar installation. There were many choices out there which made the decision process difficult. Once Bob came to our house for the consultation (along with my own research), I knew without a doubt who to choose. The team at SUNation is TOP NOTCH. I did not have any problems from the office staff straight down to the installers. We even got a call from the owner to make sure everything was the way we wanted. I have been recommending SUNation to all of my friends and family. A++++

Great Service and Support

We just had our solar system installed by SunNation Solar. They were great from the initial sales call, through processing the paperwork, and finally the installation. They took care of all the details, provided weekly status on progress, and did a very good job during the installation. We are very happy with everyone we worked with at SunNation.
