Best Company Ever!

We researched 3 big companies on Long Island and in our research we found that SUNation Solar had an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, has been in business for years, and had only 1 or 2 complaints, unlike the other companies we researched. After meeting with SUNation, we knew they were the company. Their referral list is huge. The salesman was not pushy; he was informative and very respectful. Everything leading up to, and including, installation of our solar panels was out of this world; SUNation was extremely informative, keeping us apprised of what step we were at in the process. The installers were respectful and cleaned up after installation. The CEO, Scott Maskin, even called us to personally welcome us to the SUNation family! We would recommend this company 100%! And now we look forward to electrical savings!

Awesome Company, Great Team

After reviewing several solar companies from the big name to the small, I chose Sunation. The salesman Bill Auth was fantastic and worked with me every step of the way, along with the rest of the Sunation team. The company handled all the loan paperwork and the necessary town permit.The solar install for my size project was done within a day, I couldn't even tell they were here. I highly recommend this company!

Everything you could ask for

Since I have dealt in the past with many companies I have not run into one that is as good as SUNation Solar Systems. They are very helpful in all steps of the buying process and the after sale. Their installation crew was so professional and polite. They explained everything after they were done. You can not do better than this company.

Amazing experience!

Sunation is the example of how to run a business. They are efficent, friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. I interviewed 3 other companies prior to choosing Sunation. Their level of professionalism stood out. They have a superior product for the best price. We were frequently updated, even when it was just to inform us that we were still waiting on permit approval. We sign the contract in August and we're up and running by October. It's working great so far! They even installed in one day. I would highly recommend Sunation!

SunNation Solar Installation...Another (Very) Happy Customer....

Let me begin by stating that once I decided to pursue solar panels on my home, I became obsessive/compulsive in my research to ensure I absolutely made the right decision in product and company, on what would be a very large and long term commitment (financially, energy provider relationship and in technology). I met with 8 companies (a few local, a few national) before choosing to partner with Sunation. From my first mtg. with my salesperson (Bruce) through my installation (two days ago), Sunation and everyone of their employees I've been in contact with have performed superbly. They were honest, reliable and forthcoming in every aspect of their interactions with me. They made the entire process completely painless and burden free for me. They diligently handled every aspect of this process (plans, permits, equipment, installation, overall customer service, etc.). Their response time to my inquiries were always excellent, and the details of the responses meaningful. Even the President of the company called me prior to the installation to ensure my experience was and remained stellar and any potentially ambiguity was erased. If my future PSE&G bills are reduced/eliminated as forecasted, then the decision to go solar with Sunation and my above sentiments will only be strengthened. As of today, I am a very happy customer!

Professionals. The real deal

There are a lot of "used car salesman" solar companies out there. SUNation coached and mentored me through the entire process. There was never a hard a sell. High recommended.

Outstanding

From my initial meeting with John Leech the sales rep throughout the final process was smooth & seamless & receiving a call from the owner to personally thank me for becoming part of the SuNation family. Every step of the way from John to all inside office personal & finally the installers was exceptional with communications handled in a very timely manner that any business would have a very difficult time matching. I've done many months of research, "which I suggest all should do to make an intelligent & proper decision", I even received quotes form other solar companies. However a few things made the decision very easy for me: 1) Local installer who has exceptional feedback in our community here on Long Island & the comfort if any issues arise they will be there for me. 2) They have high quality panels (Sun Power), which if you don't do your research on the differences in solar panels you may be getting a lower quality panel & most likely will not get the same results. 3) Some companies push lease programs which basically benefits them as opposed to SuNations buy programs.Google 'What is better buying or leasing solar" & you will see overwhelming reviews that buying for the majority is the way to go. In closing I cannot say enough how impressed I was with the whole experience I had dealing with SuNation, as they actually do what they preach. In my humble opinion all business's should use the SuNation business model for there companies as a benchmark to excel.

SUNATION Superior Review

We investigated 3 solar installers and found SUNATION to be by far the most professional from start to finish. We had previously seen installations by other company's and discovered SUNATION methods did not cut any corners ending with a neat clean finished installation. The solar panels we installed are superior to the panels being installed by others in producing power and the cost was not significantly different.

Nothing but good to say about SUNation

The whole process from beginning to end was so easy and smooth. The representatives kept us informed every step of the way through the application process, filing for the permit and scheduling the installation. On the day of the installation, the trucks pulled up right on time and got to work. Since it looked like it was going to rain the next day, they got more installers to come later in the afternoon to finish the job in one day. The solar array is beautiful, neat and clean, and you can't see any pipes at all. They left my yard and driveway clean. I highly recommend SUNation and am more than happy that I chose them.

Great Company!

SUNation Solar Company performed their job the way a great company should. From the initial sales meeting to the installers everything went perfectly. And the follow up has been amazing. My system options were clearly explained in the sales meeting. The team that inspected my roof and performed the panel layout were very professional, on time, and efficient. The installation team was nothing short of amazing. They were the highlight of the entire process. Let’s face it the most important part of this is the installation. The crew the installed my system were consummate professionals in every way. Of course the other stuff matters like the friendly and informed office staff that assist you throughout the process for what is certainly a financial commitment. Their follow up with finalizing all the paper work has been great. SUNation is a well-run company with a fantastic staff that all perform their job wonderfully. Kudos to the CEO of the company. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SUNation to anybody. I wish I had more houses that needed solar!

Sunation is the best, as far as I'm concerned. Tom Connelly worked with me to get exactly what I wanted, and helped me to make changes along the way. Installers were efficient, neat and cleaned up after their work. I believe that other companies, such as Vivent, are ripping people off by keeping their tax credits. Next April I will get $8800 back from the IRS and $2000 from the state.

happy customer

This is by far one of the best things we did to improve our home & life quality! the peace of mind of knowing that future electric costs are under control is worth it all. sunnation was super-listened to all my concerns during installation, took the right action . the construction crew was polite, understood what I wanted, kept things neat at all times, explained the system well. They even painted the cut ends of the rack system. They used gray conduit - no shiny parts to be seen! The follow up by email by the office staff was superb helped us get by with the required local,inspections,tax deferment paper work, etc. made the whole deal painless. A big thanks to John leech and all his effort! great job to every one!!

Great Job

I could not be happier with the way everything worked out. The total project time from start to finish took approx. 30-45 days less then anticipated. The installation crew did an amazing job, there was no signs of garbage or dirt left behind when they were finished and the panels blend perfectly with my roof. I recommend SunNation to everyone that is interested!

A Great Experience

My SUNation experience was terrific. SUNation took care of everything including getting any COs. They estimated installation would be completed by Oct. and I was fully functional by the end of Aug. The installation went smoothly and the installers were friendly, polite and clean. I would definitely recommend them and have already.

Best decision ever

SUNation was outstanding. The communication throughout the entire planning/installation couldn't be better. Just wished I did it earlier!!! If you ever thought about it, just do it!!! Call SUNation Now!!!! Don't lease, purchase your own system. Stupid to buy power from someone else and let them make the money....

Wonderful

They were amazing to deal with. Kept us up to date every step of the way. We checked out 3 companies and they by far the most upfront & honest. We were able to do a simple purchase. We did not like the structure of a PPA or the shifting financing we were offered by another company. Our job was done ahead of schedule and we love seeing our meter go lower :)

Installation of solar panels

It was great to have SUNation install our solar panels. Before the installation, they kept us informed through email of all the paper work filed with the town, obtaining survey, etc. On the day of installation, they came right on time, as promised. The guys did a great job with the installation. Thank you SUNation for a wonderful experience and your professionalism.

I am very happy that we had Sunation install our system. After 3 quotes(all very close in price, we felt Sunation was the wise choice. They have an impeccable track record. From our first meeting all the way to the install, the team at Sunation was there every step of the way. Our installation crew was awesome, led by Nick. They were very neat with the install on the roof and installing the inverters on the side of our house. A lot of houses with solar look horrible, and when Sunation finished my roof looks great. Now I hope for many sunny days to see all the benefits of my new system. Anyone thinking of a solar system would be crazy not to speak with Sunation.
