YellowLite installed 15 solar panels for our home in November of 2025. Everyone gave me good technical advice and answered all of my questions. The installation team did a very good job installing the panels and the techs were able to get Ohio Edison to come out in December to install a new electric meter. My electric bill was supposed to drop by 49%, but it looks like it's going to be much more that. My billing statement this month said my next month payment amount adjusted to match my actual usage will be $42.00. Last August 2025 my July usage bill was $439.16. This amount was double my usual bill and prompted my to call YellowLite the same company two friends of mine used and the Jefferson St. Oasis Community Garden. I also received the the 30% tax rebate from the IRS since the solar panels were installed prior to 31 December 2025 deadline! Very Respectfully, Gene Springfield, OH 45504

The team at Yellowlite has been fantastic. As an inquiring "Newbie" to solar, I had a great number of questions and concerns. Yellowlite always quickly responded to my questions with clear easy-to-understand answers. Their installation crew was professional and efficient. And, to my great joy, my first utility bill was significantly reduced! I recommend Yellowlite completely with no reservations.

The YellowLite team did a great job for myself and one of my neighbors, we installed similar systems at similar times and each had a good experience. The team was easy to work with and thoughtful and even made sure to not let the cat out when they had to wrap up while I was out of the house. I am very pleased with how the system looks and how they handled the install and city paperwork and so on. You should use them!

We had a great experience working with YellowLite. They installed 36 panels and two Enphase batteries at our home. I appreciated the ease of communication with our solar consultant, Nick, and project manager, Allan. They were always readily available by email or phone. Greg also provided prompt technical support to ensure our system was fully operational after getting permission to operate. Our solar system started producing on October 3rd, and we were very happy to see a steep drop in our 09/23-10/22 electric bill. We are excited to see what our system will produce next summer!

I recently had 16 420W solar panels installed on my home by YellowLite, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! After doing my research to find a reputable solar installer, a couple of coworkers referred me to YellowLite. Their pricing was competitive and within industry standards, and I appreciated that they didn’t subcontract their work—it showed their commitment to quality. Gatsby was fantastic to work with, handling the design and staying easily accessible throughout the process. Justin also came out to inspect the site beforehand, ensuring everything was ready for the installation. The entire process, including approval from the local utility, was completed in about 2-3 months, which I found to be impressively quick. I had a vacation planned, and the team went out of their way to accommodate my schedule, getting the panels installed before I left. The professionalism, communication, and quality of work from YellowLite were top-notch. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solar installation company!

Solar installation went exceptionally well

I had several estimates for my solar project and ended up with Yellowlite. They were very informative and prompt on answering any questions anytime. Also wanted to stay with a local business. So many other solar companies are not even based in my area. Yellowlite is the way to go and will be referred. Thank You Yellowlite for making this project carefree of any issues from day one to the finish line.

Loving my Yellow-Lite solar!

My system was installed 2 years ago and I am loving the credit balance on my electric bill! Last winter I had electric bills for 3 months, with the highest being about $30. I don't yet have the battery system to store power, but that is on my wish list! The folks at YellowLite were great to work with, and their projections on the performance of my system has been spot on. I highly recommend solar, and YellowLite is the place to go!

Very pleased

We had a 5kW rooftop system with Tesla Powerwall battery installed earlier this year. Very pleased with the process from beginning to end. Everyone we interacted with were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. System works flawlessly, and our electricity bill has been $0 since the system went live.

Residential 54 panels. Really impressed even when cloudy

Cody, Paul and their team were great to work with. We had 1 panel fail shortly after install but it was replaced in a timely manner. I'm surprised at the power it generates on cloudy days. Can't wait to see the output and savings after 1 entire year. We check the App frequently to see how things are going with the system. I was able to identify a reoccurring power pattern and resolved the reason for the periodic spikes in usage that the electric bill doesn't show. I waited to do this review until I had some time and experience with the product and people. I highly recommend YellowLite.

EXCELLENT!

YellowLite installed my 11.5 kW solar system (36 panels, 91% of my energy requirements) in mid-Feb 2020. I have not paid a utility bill since then, and still have a $500 credit on my net metering. Not bad for an all-electric tri-level home, where I keep the AC set on 72F all summer..... I used the EnergySage website to gather quotes and do my research. Of the four quotes (one outside of EnergySage), YellowLite was the best system in terms of energy generation, as well as least expensive by a wide (about 20K) margin. The installation crew were very efficient and professional, as were all the folks who were involved in the project planning, surveys and service initiation. Communication was spotty before project installation, but things really took off from there and I honesty cannot recommend YellowLite highly enough. Installation took less than one day. The SolarEdge app lets you see exactly what your system is generating every hour of every day. It's so wonderful to wake up every day and know I did something wonderful for Mother Earth, and it's paying me personal dividends as well. Even on an overcast November day, my system is producing SOLAR ENERGY. And if you do your research, you will likely find that if you need financing to go solar, your monthly loan payments will be about the same as you are currently paying to your energy provider; the difference is when your loan payments are completed, you will have FREE ENERGY for years to come. If you are thinking of a solar system, DON'T WAIT!! Your free electricity and your solar energy tax credit (22% in 2021) are waiting!!

Very friendly, easy to work with!

From start to finish yellow lite has stood by everything they said they would do for the exact cost I was quoted. They always checked to make sure I was ok with the placement of everything before the install and during. Going solar was one of the best choices iv ever made. It saves us so much money an is basically maintenance free. Yellow lite did a fantastic job on the install and customer service. Highly recommend to anyone looking to go solar!

Exceeded expectations

My April, 2019 electric bill was $1.05. I am amazed at the solar production of my YellowLite system in NE Ohio. We installed 20 solar panels (6.2 kW) in July, 2018 after learning that some friends used YellowLite and were happy with their installation. The company was helpful teaching us the ins and outs of solar power before we made our purchase. YellowLite handled all the permits and paperwork with our electric company so we didn't have to. The installation crew and electricians did a great job. The SolarEdge app is a great way to see how much power we're generating on any given day. We picked YellowLite because they have a long track record of solar installations. We're already planning to buy more panels sometime in the future as we've since bought an electric vehicle. Solar power is essential to a clean environment and we're happy to invest in a cleaner world for future generations. YellowLite did a great job for us.

The most satisfying consumer product purchase experience ever!

Yellowlite was brilliant from beginning to end. This is the most satisfying consumer product purchase I have ever made. Yellowlite manages the entire process. It was so easy from beginning to end - and they moved as quickly as possible. The staff are tremendous! I plan to install six more systems, and I would not even consider another service provider. Yellowlite also offers reasonable prices - no others I shopped were significantly less. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Solar Install

Yellowlite just recently installed our 7.83 kW solar panels (27 panels) onto our south facing roof (Dec. 2017). We were impressed with their professionalism, the knowledge of the staff, their courtesy, the quality of their work and the fact that we were barely inconvenienced for the installation. We were always updated both via phone and e-mail. All necessary inspections, permits, etc. were taken care of by the company. We would highly recommend Yellowlite. Jeff C. Gahanna, Ohio

Excellent Responsiveness

We made cost comparisons and selected YellowLite for our solar installation. We were very impressed with the quality of customer service (Cody) and the people who installed the PV system. It has worked without a hitch, and what was most impressive was the follow-up and service after the sale when we had some issues getting First Energy to install the meter and do what they needed to do on their end. YellowLite did all the heavy lifting to get that done, too!

The YL team did a great job. They came to my house for the quote, lestened to what I would like to have done, and did the system exactly the way I wanted. Everyting was done quickly and with no stress on me. I have a 9.92 KW system mounted low profile on the ground. I did, however have to re-seed the trench that was dug, my system was installed in december, so come april I had to take care of the grass myself.

Installed quickly and professionally

Yellow Lite made a great installation that has been functioning well for the last six months. While I do not have an ideal roof angle, the panels erased my electric bill in March when the sun was still low in the sky and days were still short. Their team installed in a single day and were courteous and professional. They were fast and cleaned up when they were done.

My solar system

My wife and I chose Yellow Lite after spending a couple of months researching other companies and them. All of our questions were answered in a timely manner and the price they quoted us was better by far than their closest competitors. Once we made the decision to use them the crews they sent to our site were efficient and careful about the work they did. All of the wiring and equipment was placed where I requested it, and they did an excellent job making it look as if it had been there all along. We were apprised of all the progress as it was happening, and they answered all of our questions as they came up. Our system is not a normal installation for them, but the work was efficient and sound of structure. I have no doubt that this will meet, if not exceed, our electrical needs now and in the future. I would recommend anyone interested in a solar system to call them and try their services. We cannot thank the work crews enough for the work they did for us.

Energy From The Sun

Honestly this whole process worked out easier and at a lower cost than we ever thought it would. We plan to save around 200,000 dollars over the rest of our lives in this home by living virtually utility free all for the price of an average car these days. That is more than what we paid for our home! With inflation it could even be much more! Not to mention the wonderful feeling it gives us to set such a good example for our neighbors and children because we are using a renewable source of energy and helping to protect our planet's already compromised fragile atmosphere. Every day our planet is showered with UV light and radiation from our beautiful yellow sun. Why not put it to better use and save money in the meantime? Thank you Yellowlite!
