Wells Solar

My Wife and I have been very pleased with Wells Solar. It has been a great experience dealing with the Wells Team since June of 2022. The Team has been very professional and committed to the customer. I want to commend Kyle Marshall who is our assigned representative for any questions or issues. He has been responsive and committed. Our system was turned on 27 September 2022. Our October end-of-month bill from Bartlett Electric was $47 dollar. The September bill was $550. So we have seen an instant drop in our electric bill. We have a pedestal mount system with forty-eight 400 watt Tesla solar panels. If you want a Solar System I would highly recommend Wells Solar.

Great information and explanation from Gary Betchel

An appointment was set by the office and Gary Betchel called me five minutes early. He patiently explained the answers to my questions and really helped me understand my current situation and what I needed to do next. If I decide to buy a Tesla Powerwall, Gary will be the first person I call.

This is the company to go with

I met with multiple companies before we picked wells solar. My husband and and I chose wells because of their attention to detail and confidence to get what we wanted done. The price was great for Tesla panels (which nobody else offered) and their consultant Andrew knew the exact answers to every question we had. Since we got solar we have not had an electric bill and the payments are very low. We would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for quality solar in the dfw area.

Cassie, thank you for the kind words! We appreciate you trusting us with your home. Andrew is excellent, we're very lucky to have him on our team.

Great from Sales to Install and support after

Sales was no pressure and our awesome salesman gave us a ton of information and detail and walked us through all our options. It was very educational. Once we made the decision to move forward it was quick and easy, all online. Once permits were received (the slowest part of the process and no fault of Wells Solar) the installation was quick and seamless with little to no interruption in our routine. We had aprox 2hrs of downtime when the electrical service was switched over and since the system went live we have been more than happy with the results.

So glad to hear! We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience. Thank you for the trust with your home.

O'neal Highsmith, Consultant for Wells Solar

There was a LOT of angst about selecting a solar installer. The first two interviews were duds - couldn't accept the idea that we understand this stuff and treated us as if we should accept anything they said (much of which was untrue). I'm a mechanical engineer with a 40-year history with energy efficiency and renewable energy and we had hand-built our energy-efficient house, so we knew that they weren't acceptable. O'neal Highsmith, our first contact with Wells Solar, was a revelation. He listened to us, understood our needs, and delivered an accurate and appropriate proposal. He sold us on his company and they delivered. They removed an aging thermal collection system, installed a new roof, designed and installed the solar panels and all supporting electric work and got the appropriate approvals from PEC, our electric supplier. Then they arranged a loan with a favorable interest rate and terms, with a credit union that does this kind of work all the time. This was all done at the height of the first COVID wave in 2020. Each phase was competent and well executed. In retrospect, it all seems miraculous.

Response from Wells Solar & Electrical Services

Thank you so much for the kind words. O'neal is a rockstar at what he does here at Wells! Glad to hear of your positive experience.

Absolutely wonderful experience

Wells Solar is a top-notch company! Our sales person, Sam, is the absolute best. We could text him any time of day with questions, and he always answered immediately. Even a year later he'll still available to us if we need anything. The whole team is so efficient and professional. I work from home and wasn't disturbed at all when they were installing the panels. What's probably the most amazing is we recently had a hail storm that caused major roof damage, and our solar panels were completely fine! Wells Solar offered to closely monitor our production after the storm and come check the panels for free. Just overall a great, honest company.

Response from Wells Solar & Electrical Services

Sarah, thank you for the positive feedback! We agree, Sam is the best!

No pressure, easy to understand and great to work with.

O'neal Highsmith was my representative and the first person that could explain how solar would work for me. I love the fact that many months the electric company owes me and the only thing I pay for is gas. I keep my house very cool all summer and when I owe it is less than $10. Best decision I have made in a long time.

Great Sales and Project Design/Install Team!

Wells Solar was great to work with! Gary Betchel is an excellent and caring salesman! He worked with us throughout the entire process, even after everything was installed/completed. The electrician was great and took time and care to install the equipment correctly. The install and design team were responsive, attentive to our concerns, and overall helpful throughout the process. Great job Wells Solar! :)

Excellent Consultation. Straight Shooter.

Erik Buerkle was so awesome. He was personable, knowledgeable and got right to the point. He spent time breaking down the numbers for me to weigh out the cost/benefit of getting a solar install. Because I live in Georgetown and my Utility doesn't offset enough, I didn't move forward. However, if that changes I'd gladly go with Erik. Well worth the time and education.

Top notch before, during and after installation

Wells Solar went above and beyond to make it possible for me to purchase my solar roof. At the time no solar company would even consider looking into a buying program that I had read about in one of the financial magazines, based on the rent to own idea. I presented the information to the Wells Solar rep, and instead of quickly shaking her head, no, sorry we don't do that, like all the other companies, she said "Give me a few days, let me look into that, and see what we can do for you." She came back to me within a week, she had found what I was talking about. She explained to me that smaller companies were unable to offer this, but since Wells Solar was a larger company, they had the ability and were willing to make a deal with me. I was sold. I had shopped around for solar for a couple of years and was really tired of talking to companies, who could not offer what I was looking for, and instead, unfortunately, considered suggesting smaller systems that would have covered only some of my power needs. Wells Solar configured my system perfectly. I have not paid an electric bill in going on 2 years now. Even this year, with the freeze in February, I have already made up for the energy I used to heat me house. I never lost power. Good job, Wells Solar. I'm impressed with your services all the way!

Five Star Review for Wells Solar

After interviewing and recieveing bids from several different companies, including one represented by a neighbor of mine, I chose Wells Solar and Electrical Services for my solar intallations. From the very beginning, Corey Wofford who sold me the system was by far the most knowledgable about all aspects of the system than any of the other companies. Wells handled all the permiting and HOA issues and kept me well informed in the progress as we led up to installation. Their installation crews were all very experienced and freindly as well as performed their jobs efficiently and neatly. Wells coordinated with my power supply company and arranged all inspections and rebates in a timely fashion, and each person I came in contact with from Wells was experienced, friendly and supportive throughout the process. While I have not had a full year under my belt yet, the performance I am getting out of my system (monitored by me and Wells via an application) indicates so far that I am recieveing or exceeding the projected performance of my system. Overall could not be happier with my system and the services from Wells in their business practices and performance.

The real deal, right here.

Great presentation that sold us on the value of solar production. Gave us a timeline and really it was within a week of being exactly right. Called and informed us of installation date and they were there bright and early. Installed in 2 days. Had to wait 2 weeks for the local inspection. Then working and producing. Found a small problem 4 months later. Next day we had a courteous man here to fix the problem. Our electric bill is about 32% of what it was before. This company is the real deal! Don't waste your time, just have them do it for you.

Fantastic experience & installation went smoothly!

Corey from Wells Solar set us up and walked us through everything. He answered all our questions and concerns beforehand, throughout, and still today. We have negative bills already on our 1st 2 months of electric bills (the first included the coldest temps in Texas all year). My only regret is that we didn't sign up sooner! Wells Solar took care of everything from start to finish with the utmost professionalism and knowledge. The city inspector even raved about how great their installations always are and how he never has to worry when he sees their work b/c he knows they do it right the 1st time.

Easy and Honest.

I became interest in a Solar Plan because of the no money down option. I was contacted FIRST by Corey. He was articulate, patient and very knowledgeable. We spoke for a little under and hour as he gave me the details of the company, and the potential benefits of having solar. This was in November of 2020. I spoke with 2 other companies as comparison, and my mind was made up to go with Wells Solar because of the way Corey presented the facts, good or bad equally. After signing the necessary documents, (All via E-mail) I was all set. While waiting for the next phase, (honestly it took a little bit of time) I had additional questions. When I called Corey, he always had time to answer my questions. This impressed me and made me secure about my decision to contract Wells Solar for my home. After a month of back and forth paperwork, measurements were taken of my home. I was told this was insure the needed features and hardware would be properly fit on the home. When the financing was secured, I was finally place on the installation schedule. In February of 2021, the installation crew came out and in a day's work, a crew of 10 skilled workers crawled in and out of my home converting it to make solar panels work for me. They placed the planned amount of panels on the roof, and 3 electricians made the needed code modifications to the power panel in the back of the house. The effect was VERY professional. The look did not transform my house, but certainly added to it. I was and still am very pleased. I only had to wait for the city inspector to clear the addition, and I would be in operating mode. Of course this went off without a hitch. I elected to have a standby generator rather than backup batteries because of cost and personal choice. I of course researched the heck out of all of this, and anytime I could not figure out what was going on, Corey was just a phone call away. I am not saying there are not other good solar companies out there, I just hit the JACKPOT when I selected Wells Solar.

PLEAESE READ !!!!!

Before we went solar we spent MONTHS researching and meeting with ALOT of companies. Wells Solar not only had an attractive offer, but the way they have their stuff together is far far better than the larger companies that had a big talk. I have met with all of the big installers and all of the "recommended" installers and the confidence that Wells gave me is unparalleled. They have warranties on top of warranties. The best part was that the whole team was so competent!! Everything went exactly how it was supposed to and the system is working Better than what was shown to me. Over delivered for sure!!!

I give them 5 stars, but did hire them and here is why!

I was approached by a different company with a “too good to be true” offer. I contact Erik to discuss what their company does and why the quote would be. I also reached out to 4 other companies. This business is not a third party, had the best competitive rate, and were honest with their offset. During my research I found no other company more professional than theirs, and I even used their price to talk 3 other companies lower on theirs. The company I went with was due to transportation and moving homes. The company I selected stated they would move and install my panels again at no cost, which is unheard of due to cost. The panel market is highly competitive, but I appreciate sales reps like Erik. Who didn’t pitch me a dream, but facts. And can prove, quote and demonstrate their company is not from a third party and the panels are actually good quality. As a consumer this company is the best one, but due to the cost of moving from another I went with them due to my lifestyle commitments and professional goals. But, I used Erik’s quote as the driving force against other companies that will flat out lie to get your business. This is why I gave them 5 stars! I can not validate the installation or process, but I only assume they are upfront and honest with everything! Thank you for everything.
