Latest Southern Current Solar Reviews
I am well pleased with Southern Current and Jeremy Pitts my contact person. Please check them out. They are not a fly by night organization/company.Very professional and knowledgable. Clarice Smalley
The best Solar Company in South Carolina bar none! Southern Current is #1 in communications, installation, clean-up, and all round being nice guys. I even had to remind them that they needed to get their their small down payment check of $85.00 dollars, how's that for being concerned for my satisfaction of their work and installation of the solar system. By the way, we just got our Duke bill for the first full month of solar usage - $10.27, and that was for fees and basic facilities charges, YAHOO!!!! I love these guys!... read more
Last month, I made the decision to purchase a solar system and I now have solar panels installed on my rooftop. It has been a very speedy process thanks to the very efficient and responsive folks at Southern Current. For me, it took 1.5 months to decide on the installer and after doing a lot of research on installers, solar panels, inverters, I chose Southern Current. The four high level steps - Interconnection request with SC&G, city/county design approval, HOA approval, and installation took a little under 7 weeks and two more weeks for utility and city inspection. I compared Sunrun, Horizon Pwr, United Solar, Hilton Head Solar, and Southern Current and created a very elaborate spreadsheet to do an apples-to-apples comparison since every company provides the same information in a different manner. Bobby Jones was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He was very patient with all my questions and even helped me compare different proposals. I would highly recommend giving him a call @ 843-442-8753 if you're considering going solar. You can mention my name (Adi Makhija) for a little referral bonus for me :)... read more

Our installation was complete about two months ago and overall we are very pleased. The whole process was relatively smooth and well explained. The installation crew were well organized, professional, and did an excellent job of keeping the job site clean. I liked that Southern Current was a local company and well established in South Carolina unlike some of the others I talked to. They also seemed more knowledgeable and had multiple certifications where other companies had very few. They provided a list of local references, several of which were in my neighborhood, and all were pleased with Southern Current.... read more

Everyone at Southern Current were very professional. The salesman Justin came out on a Saturday, even taking time away from his family. The installation crew were also professional and all introduced themselves. They told me every step of the installation and cleaned all of the trash involved. Everyone treated me as if they were appreciative of our business. I had talked with other solar companies and they were matter of fact and didn't seem to care whether we used them or not.
The things that sold me on Southern Current were:
* South Carolina based in Charleston
* with an installation and service center in the upstate in Simpsonville
* The salesman was very knowledgeable and also was a customer of solar (including his parents and in-laws)
* They had installed solar on local Target and Kohls.
* They were also establishing solar farms in the Carolinas and Georgia
* They were installing solar on two of the schools in the school district we live
If the school district was going with them, I knew they had been totally vetted and would be the best.
The only draw back I had during the entire experience was waiting on Duke Energy to come and change the meter and have it ready to turn on. Duke was supposed to come within 15 business days. The technician came out the morning of the 16th day... the change over took all of 10 minutes.... read more

Southern Current helped me get the right system for my home. A very knowledgeable team that was a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. They took care of the entire process, including scheduling inspections and hooking up to the grid. I was also kept up to date along the way, and questions were answered promptly. Well written and thorough documentation. Feels good to be running everything at home on the sun.... read more

Southern Current has provided excellent support and service from the beginning. When I was trying to make an informed decision about the type of solar panels and system components that would best meet my needs, Eric provided answers and technical data in response to each question I raised. The install team was professional, courteous, and made sure the work-site was clean when they completed. A few days after installation, my monitoring system indicated a problem with some panels. Before I could report the issue the next morning, we were surprised to find a Southern Current employee knocking on our door. He was already there to fix the problem, which they had detected remotely. They seem to make customer satisfaction a priority.... read more

I added 50 solar panels to my regular residence. Southern Current was professional, fast and competent. Since November 2015 I have not paid an electrical utility bill and have logged up a credit with my local electrical company. I was so pleased with the outcome that I asked Southern Current to put 15 panels on my second home on Edisto Island, SC. Now, I am relatively free from utility bills. Southern Current was the company I decided on after extensive research on many companies that installed solar panels. They were professional, personable, reasonably priced and good to follow up. I am a very satisfied customer.... read more
Outstanding Customer Service

Southern Current provided superb customer service from initial inquiry all the way to close out of installation. I started looking at solar and doing my own calculations to figure out if it made sense, and then received support and answers to all my questions every step of the way. Bobby Jones gave me all the time I needed to get every last detail squared away so that I could have complete confidence that I was making a great decision. If you are on the fence about going solar, give them a call and see what they can offer you. There is no pressure and no sales tactics, just straight up information about what a system designed for you can do, what it will cost, and how much money it will save you over time. I've rarely felt this good about a purchase.... read more
Solar Panels

Reviewed: 02/09/2018
We had Southern Current install 32 panels on our home this fall. Our salesman Andrew, was extremely knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra step to meet us at odd times that worked for our schedule. We had other quotes from competing companies, but it was clear from the beginning that he actually knew what he was talking about regarding the technology compared to the others who had canned sales lines. The install was smooth for the most part. I didn’t like the location of some of the conduit when I got home from work, but I called them and they changed it the next day. The only complaint I really have is the hole they dug in my yard to bury the wire. I am going to have to add extra fill dirt to the entire trench or I’ll end up spraining my ankle. However, it’s a minor thing so I never said anything to them regarding it. Also, I realize they are a solar not landscaping company. Now that we’ve had a few months to see our bill, I’m extremely happy that we went solar and chose Southern Current!... read more

Southern Current installed 19 panels on my home in the summer of 2017. We were in the middle of a large scale renovation/addition to our home when we decided to add solar. They were able to design, price, and install the entire system prior to our finishing the project. Andrew Dunn (sales) was extremely helpful in answering our questions; the installation crew (Brad Deerhake, leader) were professional, tidy, and great to work with. We've had little to reason to bother anyone, but when we do have a question, the service and response has been great. I highly recommend Southern Current... read more
