Really Positive Experience & Loving the Very Low Energy Bills

Yes Solar Solutions helped me through the whole process and were very dependable, including answering all my questions fully. I felt like I was talking to people who knew what they were doing and weren't trying to up-sell me. They were on-schedule and I haven't had any problems with the system since it came on-line. I did have a minor issue when connecting to the panels initially, but Yes Solar took care of that issue quickly. And I was able to get a tax refund last year when part of the cost was incurred and I will get another one this year for the final installments.

Kadampa Buddhist Center is happy with our system and YES Solar

Had several months delay waiting for solar panels to be available but then our 17 kilowatt system was installed in two days. System was designed to offset our full electrical load and it is doing that. In the nine months since installation our electric company has billed us for zero kilowatt-hours. The system was installed on cold winter days so had two mounting points where the sealant did not adhere. This caused a leak at the first rain but YES fixed the problem on the first try. Later we had a wiring connection problem but YES also fixed that promptly on their first visit. So they were supportive when needed and our system has been performing without flaw for the seven recent months.

Consistent support and communication, good work

The Yes Solar reps were always informative, competent, and helpful. They provided needed background and support throughout the process. They identified a glitch in the installation and promptly informed me and corrected it. They have a very good reputation within our neighborhood and I'm very happy with my decision to go with them!

John Boreyko | Chapel Hill, NC | 12/01/2023

Took care of every aspect of approval and installation.

From start to finish Yes Solar Solutions was there from the design, HOA approval and installation. It could have not gone any better.

William Hengstenberg | Bear Creek, NC | 11/29/2023

Fantastic Company

It has been almost a year since YES Solar Solutions installed our system and it has been working perfectly. They did a great job estimating what we needed to allow us to be pretty much self sufficient. The panels supply the entire property with power when the sun is out, and charge the batteries - typically up to 100% by mid day, and then send the rest of the excess power back to the grid for a credit on my bill. In the spring and fall the batteries will pretty much last all night, but we end up using some from the grid during high HVAC demands in the winter and summer. Looks like we should come close to equaling out at the one year mark making it a net zero total usage. YES Solar Solutions was easy to work with. The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in their work. If you are considering going solar in their install area, contact them. I would highly recommend them for your project.

B. Cole | Dunn, NC | 11/29/2023

Yes to Yes, Solar Solutions

I had quotes from no less than 5 solar companies during the decision phase of my family's search into solar panels for our home. Yes, Solar was the best in price and service. Even thought the prices were somewhat comparable except for a few outliers, Yes, Solar won my business with customer support. They were willing to do a ground mount array and agreed to place the underground cables inside a conduit for added protection. I have generated more power than I have used since they came online.

Carol & Michael | Chapel Hill, NC | 11/24/2023

So glad we did it

Experience with YesSolar was positive, from start to finish.

Arun Chopra | Raleigh, NC | 11/11/2023

Excellent Company always answers when called or emailed.

Yes Solar , is an Awesome company with great customer service and employees. I have gotten timely emails and phone calls when I had an issue. I recommend them to others.

Janet X. | Durham, NC | 11/07/2023

Robust Support & Communications

By far the biggest thing that stood out about Yes Solar Solutions was how smooth they made the whole process. There were many check-ins throughout the journey and staff took time to give satisfactory answers to my many questions. The installation crew were intentional about showing me what had been installed. After nearly a year, I haven't run into any issues and am really happy with the decision to go solar.

Charles Fisher | Cary, NC | 10/31/2023

Great to work with

We had a great experience with Yes Solar through the Solarize the Triangle program. The installation was smooth and issue free, and their guarantee for the equipment and output can’t be beat Highly recommend!

Danielle Clark | Durham, NC | 10/29/2023

We had a fantastic experience with Yes Solar Solutions. They were very responsive to any questions and the installation process was quick and smooth. We've noticed a significant drop in our energy bills and are very happy to have chosen this company.

Bruce in Raleigh | Raleigh, NC | 10/16/2023

fully met my expectations

I had a time requirement to get installed, and it was met. When there was a problem with inverters upon installation YSS sent a team out and fixed in a timely manner.

Wib Gulley | Durham, NC | 10/06/2023

Top Notch Solar Company

From evaluating and discussing our home's potential for solar, to outlining our options, through financing and installation of our rooftop solar panel and battery storage system, Yes Solar has performed very, very well as a company. We feel fortunate to have found them and are very happy with how our rooftop solar system is working.

M. Pittman | Durham, NC | 09/25/2023

What a great experience.

What a great experience we've had with Yes Solar. In the summer of 2022 my wife and I were thinking about installing solar and asked some friends who had solar if they could recommend anyone. A friend highly recommended Yes Solar and said that they were "the best in the area." I think that's true--they answered all of our questions and were very knowledgeable and helpful with financing options and different rebate options. They gave us a project plan, met every date they promised, and provided excellent service. In 10 months we have saved over $1000 on our electric bill and 3-4 times we have had power (thanks to the solar and powerwall battery supply they installed) when our entire neighborhood was without.

Jeanine | Morrisville, NC | 09/17/2023

Going through the selection process Yes Solar was very responsive and answered all the questions. They handled the permit and paperwork quickly. Installers and the whole Yes Solar team were professional. Overall, the solar production is in line with the estimates. Since the installation, our utility bill has gone down. So far, it’s trouble free. In addition, we used the Solarize the Triangle program, the vetting was already done and less to worry. The price we paid was competitive and warranty coverage was one of the best.

Sean | Wendell, NC | 08/04/2023

Glad we put in our solar system

We are glad we put in our solar system, panels, and battery. Not only has it saved us from multiple electric outages but it has dramatically reduced the cost of operating our house, especially in the summertime with two AC zones in our house. Installation was easy, cost-reasonable, and technicians and back office staff were helpful and great to work with. Federal and state tax incentives helped reduce the price considerably.

Just John | Cary, NC | 07/26/2023

All good

Our solar panel and Tesla battery installation and our subsequent experience has been all good.

Charles sexton | Richlands, NC | 07/16/2023

Power plant

Good power output, occasionally does not send information to the app on cell phone. So far, $0 month electric bill, not counting the basic charge to be connected, averages about $15 month.

Chris | Holly Springs, NC | 06/30/2023

Great company with quality customer service

Now going on 9 months with my solar panel and battery installation for Yes Solar. Couldn’t be happier. My electric bill from Duke energy is about $24 a month and $7 of that is because I have to pay my portion of the street lights in the neighborhood. I put more energy back into the grid than I use most sunny days. During the sales process the sale rep spent working to answer ever question I had and created multiple different configurations for me to choose from. The best thing was that Yes Solar carried Tesla powerwalls in inventory. When I spoke with other vendors they said it would be 4-5 months after my initial install before the Tesla powerwall could be installed. I highly recommend Yes Solar. The owner also lobbies the NC government to protect and fight for our state programs such as net metering. They were not the cheapest option, but very close and well worth the few extras dollars for the customer service and effort the do to lobby for solar programs in NC.

Dave Nordaby | Apex, NC | 06/22/2023

Excellent job and value for the price

Yes solar did and excellent job giving me the information I needed to make a decision . Once I decided to go with them the process was easy and the job they did was outstanding. If I had to use them again I would and I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning on installing solar.

thegiftedgreek | Garner, NC | 06/13/2023

YES Solar August 22

Appreciate the help from Ben in sales and the team who came out. Unfortunately there was a little hiccup with the physical installation. This was noticed by a different guy than who was there the previous 2 days. He was honest with me, and I was happy to hear he would remedy with another guy. They spent their entire day correcting the prior team’s issue. I’m not upset, and I’m glad that YES employees team members that care about the customer and ensure that the system is installed properly. Thank you. I’ve been almost up and running a year now and we’ll soon see what the system produced vs expected to produce. I would reach out to YES in the future for any service needed, warranty work, and hopefully a near future battery install.

Chris C | Clemmons, NC | 04/25/2023

9 months in and very happy

My experience with Yes Solar has been a quality one since the beginning. My solar panels are producing well and have offset my energy usage as anticipated. I am pleased with my decision to go Solar.

Tom | Cary, NC | 04/07/2023

9 Months and ZERO Issues!

It's been about nine months since Yes Solar Solutions of Cary, NC installed our rooftop system. We haven't had any issues. They're way up on our roof quietly producing energy and shrinking our Duke Energy electric bill. :-) Honestly, we don't normally even think about them, but every once in awhile I'll check in on the convenient and easy to understand app on my iPhone. If you are considering a solar system, Yes Solar Solutions is who you want to do business with. Great small, local company with attentive customer service. We highly recommend them!

Robert | Hillsborough, NC | 04/06/2023

Yes Solar is Outstanding

Yes Solar is exemplary. Everyone I dealt with was competent, friendly and efficient. The installation was done quickly, correctly and without incident. Plus, their price was significantly lower than the competition. When I had a billing issue with Duke Energy, Yes Solar folks helped me understand and resolve it. The system itself has performed perfectly since installation in May 2022, and I love checking the app to see how much free electricity it generates on a given day. I recommend Yes Solar highly.

Dylan | Greensboro, NC | 03/30/2023

Great overall experience

Very professional from initial consultation, financial review process, installation, and follow up post-install. Equipment very high quality, and has worked amazingly.

Adam | Durham, NC | 03/30/2023

Amazing experience!

Amazing experience. Yes Solar had us up and running within 2 months from our first phone call. No hassle whatsoever. Very friendly staff. Our system has been working flawlessly since we installed Summer 2022.

Nikki | Graham, NC | 03/30/2023

It's been close to a year and we've saved a good deal. The winters were a little less productive because of cloud cover but we still saved compared to the previous year. Overall we're extremely happy with our system. No breakdowns, no service calls, no issues really. Would recommend.

The Ladds | Pittsboro, NC | 03/01/2023

9 months of generation

Nine months has passed since Yes Solar Solutions of Cary, NC installed our rooftop system. The system has performed flawlessly. We love sending excess energy back to the grid. Also love sending less money to Duke Energy each month! What we really love is watching energy generated in real time via the SolarEdge interface. To date, our energy production has saved 7,720 pounds of CO2 emissions. If you are considering adding solar to your residence or business, Yes Solar Solutions is the company you want to do business with. Excellent service across the board. This is the second home for us that Yes has put panels on the roof over the past 10 years. We highly recommend them!!

Mike P | Fuquay Varina, NC | 02/22/2023

Fantastic Assistance

Our system has been installed for about 9 months, any questions I have had after installation they have answered, and it is producing as they described.

Gwen Clare | Chapel Hill, NC | 02/21/2023

A seamless operation from start to finish

We took a close look at two solar panel providers before selecting Yes Solar Solutions. I'm sure the other company would have been fine also, but our neighbor up the street had used YSS years before and their satisfaction clinched our decision. We had to get two communities to sign off on the installation, but YSS did all work providing the needed information. They also worked with Duke to get their approval. The amount of bureaucracy involved was amazing, but it all went smoothly. Our only job was really to decide who would do the installation and write the checks. Everyone we dealt with was competent and helpful. Our first Duke bill for $16 was proof that we were supplying more to the system than we were taking and meeting our goal of doing our part for the planet.

St. Thomas More Catholic School | Chapel Hill, NC | 02/14/2023

Excellent service, thorough installation, knowledgeable staff

We have been operating our system for a little over a year now and we are very happy with its performance (slightly over proposed values for year 1). The monitoring is easy to use and understand

AMaier | Summerfield, NC | 01/22/2023

I am very happy with the solar panels I purchased from and had installed by Yes Solar Solutions. We have already seen the benefits in decreased power bills as a result. We also have decreased our gasoline expenses, due to the purchase of an all electric car, which we are able to charge at home. Our hope is a long term benefit both to our personal finances and the environment, as a result of the addition of solar panels to our home.

AmyP | Durham, NC | 01/14/2023

Excellent service

From the sales experience through the installation and even when we had questions when it was all done the staff at Yes Solar where great. They were professional and informative. They answered our numerous questions. If would use them again if I had need of their services.

Rich D | Mebane, NC | 01/14/2023

Excellent Company to Build a Better Future

I had Yes Solar Solutions install solar panels on my home in October of 2015 and in March of 2022 a Tesla battery to extend its ability to power my home during power outages and meet the coming changes in how we will all be billed by electric utilities as we move towards a more renewable energy future. Their service is excellent. They showed up on time and completed the installs competently and quickly. They provided very good support service answering questions I had and responding to any service difficulties I had. I think that they are model for how companies should treat their customers. And I will say that this feels to me more than a typically customer\service provider relationship. I look at as a collaborative effort to work towards a healthier and sustainable future for our families, our homes and our world. Keep up the good work YES!

Flávio Araújo | Apex, NC | 12/22/2022

Great company

It was a great process to get solar. They explained all the steps to get there. After installation I had some questions and when I raised my concerns they took care of it. Totally recommend it. Go solar!!

Jerry Hilgenberg | Hillsborough, NC | 12/20/2022

We Couldn't Be Happier

We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with YES Solar Solutions for our rooftop solar installation. After nine months of operation, the system has continued to work perfectly and has completely lived-up to our expectations. Thanks to the "net metering" we have in North Carolina, we only pay Duke Power the minimum connection fee each month; a huge monthly cost savings in an era when resources are becoming more scarce. YES Solar Solutions takes care of all issues related to the installation and permitting, including the necessary county permits and inspections, and the coordination with Duke Power to arrange for a smooth transition to net metering on their system. In the time since installation, there has only been one small glitch when one of the cosmetic baffle skirts came loose after a heavy storm. They had a crew out here in a matter of only a few days to take care of this small cosmetic problem. Performance of the system was never impacted, In addition to the Federal tax credit, we were also able to secure 18-months same as cash financing on our project. Our project was contracted last December (2021), installed in mid-January, implemented at the end of February. We took the tax credit on our 2020 tax return and will pay for the project in 2023. We couldn't ask for more favorable financing terms. I'd give a special shout-out to the installation crew who worked on our project for a week last January (2022). They were courteous, professional, arrived when they said they'd be here, and cleaned-up after themselves thoroughly at the end of each day. That is exactly the sort of thing you should expect from their installation team! My wife and I wholehearted recommend YES Solar Solutions as the answer for your solar project.

Gus Reed | Pittsboro, NC | 12/17/2022

Fighting Climate Change (and high electric bills)

Yes! is great. Thoroughly professional, a terrific product and a very satisfactory outcome.

J Smallwood | Apex, NC | 12/07/2022

Great Solar Partner

We worked with Yes Solar Solutions while building a new house. They were able to design a custom system while the house was getting built. They worked with our builder to get pre-wiring done and then with various inspectors to make sure that the house build was not held up and that they got their final inspections done in a timely manner to get the system energized shortly after we moved in. We had a fairly large array of 60 panels installed, two inverters and two Generac batteries with 36 kW of storage capabilities. It has been almost 9 months in use and the system has been working great. We've had a couple of power outages and the system kicked right in. Generac has issued a few part recalls and Yes Solar has been on the spot to get the needed parts swapped out. I've been happy with the system and happy with the service that we've received from Yes Solar Solutions.

Sam | Garner, NC | 12/02/2022

Extremely Helpful and Dependable

Coming up on the 1 year mark for having solar panels installed on my house and couldn’t be happier with the dependability and regular check ins from yes solar. They got the job done well and care that I’m a satisfied customer. I have already referred 1 person to them as well and will continue to endorse this company before others when it comes to information on solar energy in the Raleigh area.

Dan | Durham, NC | 10/03/2022

Very responsive to service requests

Great local company to work with. Always responds quickly to service needs and follows through. Employees are courteous and professional.

John | Saint Pauls, NC | 09/30/2022

Exceeded All Expectations

Getting solar panels is a no-brainer. The hard decision is choosing the company to handle the installation. Yes Solar Solutions could not have been better to work with during the whole process. They took the time to educate me about what was going to happen and in what time frame. When I did have more questions, they happily answered them. Even after the installation was completed and my system was up and running, the company followed up with me on several occasions to make sure I was content. I highly recommend using Yes Solar Solutions for your solar power needs.

J in Raleigh | Raleigh, NC | 09/29/2022

Responsive to Issues

Yes Solar has been very responsive to issues that arose post-install, all of which were the result of hardware problems unrelated to installation. My system has been operating flawlessly since their service team fixed them. Going solar was a good decision. In addition to cutting my power bill in half - thus providing some protection from inflation, if you get a battery, you can have backup power which, unlike using a gas generator (to my knowledge), the government will give you a tax credit on (double check this with a CPA - not giving financial advice of any kind).

Erin Hathaway | Holly Springs, NC | 09/27/2022

Almost a year out and it's everything we hoped it would be

The solar panels have worked out so well for us. We've only had a couple of months in the summer when we've had electricity charges from Duke (and even then, it's maybe $25). We've been running the AC constantly and have 2 adults working from home (and a teenager who spends a ton of time on his computer and TV when he's home). It makes me feel so good to know that I'm minimizing our reliance on fossil fuels AND saving money in the long run. It's been problem free and it's so easy to forget we even have them, as the panels are so unobtrusive. With the federal tax credits and the rebate that Yes Solar Solutions was able to help us get from Duke energy, it's been a frugal, sustainable solution for us and I know we'll love it for decades to come. If you're on the fence, just talk to them. They were very low pressure and answered my (many, many) questions factually and honestly. This was not a heavy-handed sales pitch but an informational conversation from a company that takes pride in what they do and in helping prospective customers find cost-effective ways to make solar happen for them.

mackeyrj | Kernersville, NC | 09/17/2022

Loving Solar

YES Solar has now been in service for 10 months and we are loving it. The solar panels performed above expectation and we over produce the entire summer and are still going strong into Sept. We had 2 brief and 1 hour long power outages but thanks to the TESLA backup batteries we continued to enjoy TV, the internet and AC. Richard

AEDavenport | Kernersville, NC | 09/15/2022

Still working perfectly

Yes Solar Solutions installed our solar panels almost one year ago. The system is working perfectly and I find that I check out the Energy website with my phone app at least once a day to see how much power we're making and how much we're using. It's shocking how much power is generated on cloudy, rainy days. Yes Solar Solutions stays in contact and answers every question!

M. Fruga | Raleigh, NC | 08/25/2022

This past November our new solar power system with battery backup came online! Our project kicked off in June and involved several changes to major system components (both battery and solar panels) due to supply chain challenges. Yes Solar did a fantastic job of keeping us informed, discussing component alternatives, managing the installation and providing support to us in dealing with our utility company. They were patient, professional and responsive to our many questions along the way. We recommend Yes Solar without reservation to anyone considering a transition to solar power.

Glenn Sorrell | Raleigh, NC | 08/25/2022

Yes Solar Solutions did a great job installing my solar panels and equipment. They have been very responsive to any questions or problems I have had with the equipment. The system works great and the tiny electric bills really make it worthwhile. I would highly recommend Yes Solar Solutions to anyone interested in Solar power.

Karen | Durham, NC | 08/16/2022

Solar system working well after nearly a year

I've been generating a lot more power than I'm using - so much so that I plan to buy an electric car. And so far it's like I've planted 76 trees! I've had no issues and the online monitoring is very easy to use. I'm very glad I used Yes for my new house - previously had used them ten years ago and their services and warranties are even better than beforel

T. Ladd | Pittsboro, NC | 08/15/2022

Yes Solar Solutions is exceptional!

Yes Solar Solutions has done an outstanding job of putting solar panels on our second Chatham County home. We partnered with Yes in 2015 for panels on a previous home. Our new system went live in May and is preforming flawlessly. Each Yes employee who contacted us was super professional, friendly, and respectful. We were advised often of the progress on our project and always knew who to contact if we had a question. Kathy and Stew Miller, company owners, are invested in moving NC toward a sustainable energy future. They work with NC Warn and other organizations to promote solar friendly legislation and to keep a constant watchful eye on Duke Energy as they submit various proposals to the North Carolina Utilities Commission in an attempt to slow solar panel installations by making it less affordable. A group-purchasing program for 11 local communities, Solarize the Triangle, launched on August 10. This program reduces the cost of solar installation substantially depending on how many families and businesses participate. Yes Solar Solutions was selected as the installer for this regional program. I highly recommend Yes Solar Solutions. Their customer service and knowledge of solar systems is beyond compare. You won’t be disappointed. If I could, I’d give them 10 stars!!

Satya | Carrboro, NC | 08/14/2022

Smooth execution. They made the Duke rebate possible.

We had design completed for Duke rebate application. Picked up the install after the rebate was approved. Made the entire project a lot of economical.
