Thirsty Lake Solar

Very Pleased!

Our solar is up and running and we couldn't be happier, we're excited to see the difference in our energy bill. Jeff and his crew were courteous, timely, neat, methodical and professional. Jeff took the time to explain everything and at the end each workday they cleaned up everything. They also kept the worksite neat during the day. We've had so many neighbors comment on how nice the solar looks and even had the architectural committee of our hoa tell us it looked great and that they worked so neatly and quitely, you didn't even realize they were there! We have recommended Thirsty Lake to everyone we have spoken with about the solar

come on, sun!

We've had our system up and running for a few weeks now, and it's working beautifully. Our neighbors recommended Jeff and Thirsty Lake--we've been completely happy with their service. Jeff is punctual, affable, professional, and he's an excellent communicator. We recommend Thirsty Lake without the least hesitation

Fantastic service

A neighbor recommended Thirsty Lake Solar to us, and we were extremely happy with their work. Jeff was responsive and knowledgeable, and took the time to sit down with us and explain the whole process, how the system works, cost considerations, etc. He was very organized and made everything easy for us. Highly recommend!

Having Thirsty Lake Solar install my solar system is the best decision I have made. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner. I highly recommend Thirst Lake Solar they are very professional.

Everything was done professionally, at the bid price, on time, and completed in one day. Jeff and crew are top notch. It just couldn't have been any better and the system is producing over 100% of my average use.

Thirsty Lake Solar

We highly recommend Thirsty Lake Solar! Very professional, efficient, and responsive. Jeff did a great job walking us through the whole process. The installation was very quick, and they left everything spotless. Great to work with them!

Our Farm Solar System

Jeff was fantastic to work with. He was patient and worked with us to design the perfect system to operate our small farm allowing for future farm operations and the flexibility to install battery back-up as the technology matures. The quality of the products Jeff selected for our system were excellent as the quality of the installation. Jeff and his staff were excellent and the work was accomplished on schedule. Jeff's prices are competitive but he was the only installer who took the time to visit us and ensure the system was going to be perfect for us. Choose Thirsty Lake Solar and you will be pleased.

Jeff Wongstrom is an awesome professional to deal with. I give him and Thirsty Lake Solar a 6-Star rating, as a 5-Star rating is just not enough to cover his superb service! From calculating your solar energy potential to cleaning up after installation, every phase of the project was done with caring diligence. Jeff is very personable, knowledgeable, competent, precise, efficient, trustworthy, and prompt. Did I forget something? Oh ya, he is also very passionate about working for the betterment of our planet. So much so, that Jeff offers a 3% discount to Montana Wilderness Association members going solar and donates your savings to MWA. Jeff knows that the extreme weather fluctuations of a warming planet will challenge the integrity of our ecosystems. Wilderness and its pristine ecosystems will provide the best defense for maintaining species diversity into the future. The same sun that unveils and reveals pristine streams, meadows, lakes, valleys, grasslands and mountains, can also provide us carbon free energy protecting the planet for future generations to admire. Extended federal tax credits of 30% make going solar affordable for most middle class homeowners. One rooftop at a time, Thirsty Lake Solar is supporting the will of individual citizens to take measurable actions to reduce our collective carbon footprint. Thank you, Jeff! P.S. Every rooftop solar system installed, plants a seed of curiosity and possibility for neighbors to ponder. Get WILD in 2016 and plant a seed in your neighborhood!

Thirsty Lake Solar

From the outset of our project planning, Jeff showed great knowledge about solar photovoltaic and all of the available system options. He provided three options for us to consider, offered good justifications for each and helped us make a decision. His installation went very smooth, despite our remote location, and our system is meeting our needs and exceeding our expectations. Great follow-up as well.

1.71 kWh System Install

Jeff is very experienced and professional. He helped us choose and design a system that will meet our immediate needs, and a system that can grow with our family's future needs on our off grid property. I feel like Jeff did a great job managing our expectations with an off grid PV system. He was able to install our system in a very timely manner. Jeff is also a licensed electrician. He takes no shortcuts and makes sure everything is up to code. I am very happy with our Thirsty Lake Solar experience. So much so I look forward to getting the rest of the house wired by Thirsty Lake. I know who I will be calling when we decide to install our second array.

Belgrade, MT residential PV installation

From day one, Thirsty Lake Solar has exceeded our expectations. Jeff came to our property and gave us a very thorough bid, which was a welcome change from the other companies we contacted. Throughout the whole project, he was responsive to requests, communicative regarding timelines and scheduling, and pleasant to work with. The state electrical inspector even made favorable comments about his work! We couldn't be happier with our experience. Highly recommended.

Des Rosier Review

The entire project, beginning with my request for information and estimate to completion, was amazingly speedy. Any questions were answered and information as to whom to contact at the local electric company was quickly given as well as all necessary paper work was provided. I am very pleased with the services of Thirsty Lake Solar.

Professional and friendly

My experience with Thirsty Lake included a thorough site analysis, clear information and answers to all my questions, reliable scheduling, a clear and thorough proposal, efficient installation and city approval, and pricing exactly as quoted. The whole process was fully explained and very organized. A bonus to me was a discount and a donation by the company to a non-profit organization I belong to. My system has been installed for only a short time, so some of the specific ratings below are based on partial information.

Barhaugh PV System

Our experience with Thirsty Lake Solar was a completely positive one from start to finish. The two elements that have been most valuable to us are the onsite visit to bid the project rather than a google earth analysis and Jeff's continued communication with us even after the project is complete. If we have any question Jeff is great about getting back to us. We highly recommend Thirsty Lake Solar.

Very pleased with installation

We are very pleased with the 8.8kW PV system installed by Thirsty Lake Solar last month. At every step in the process, from initial site inspection through job completion, we appreciated the professional advice and installation quality. I've worked on energy engineering projects for over 25 years and have a high level of expectation for a five star job. I give Thirsty Lake Solar a 5 star rating without hesitation.

Bozeman MT / So. 7th Ave.

Excellent installation on (3) separate roof surfaces. Very pleased with the process and the results. Today the sun is shining !

Installed two systems

Very quick top quality installation at a fair price. Jeff is a great guy! One system went on an office building and one on my house. Both systems should be net zero. I charge my electric cars from the arrays.

Great Guy to Work With

This is my second time using Jeff at Thirsty Lake. He's easy to work with, quite knowledgeable of the ever changing technology, and priced right.

Thirsty Lake Solar made the whole process incredibly easy. They are very professional, clear in their instructions and helpful in providing information. The install was quick and easy. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is interested in getting a solar assessment and pursuing a PV system for home or business.

Very Professional Clean Installation

My home is in a development with a very picky architectural review committee (ARC). Thirsty Lake Solar was very careful to design and install a system that met the high standards required by the ARC. The work was timely. The communication was professional. The implementation very clean and well done. Highly recommend.

Bozeman, MT

Thirsty Lake Solar was friendly and competent. They conducted a prompt quote, which outlined options that were available. They accommodated my schedule and completed the job swiftly with no glitches.

Being a civil engineer I tend to be a hard grader on things like this. Based on Thirsty Lake's PV system design and installation for my home I'm giving them the highest possible rating of "5" across the board. Jeff was professional, friendly, honest and extremely competent throughout the entire process. I would recommend Thirsty Lake Solar to anyone who's looking for an excellent PV system installer.
