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.

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Satya, it is great that we were able to secure the Duke rebate for you to make your system more affordable. Hope everything has gone well with your system since. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.

Yes Solar made getting Solar easy

They helped with assessing the roof for the number of panels and the financing. They also were quick to install the panels and coordinate with Duke Energy to turn it on. I have not had any issues and have seen a large reduction in my power bill!

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Shivan, it is great to hear that you are already experiencing the benefits of solar savings from your system! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Probably worth it with tax incentives

Our project with Yes Solar lasted about three months. In total, it cost $18,576. We received $4,830 in tax credits. It generated $786.64 worth of electricity during its first nine full months of operation, coming to ~$87.40 per month. At this rate, it should pay for itself in ~13.11 years. For us, this number is likely to go down a bit since the three months not being accounted for are July through September, which are likely to skew toward higher production than average. If you're getting solar for other reasons, Yes Solar is a great company. Their team was clear, up front, and helpful, and the project completed without a hitch. If you're getting solar for purely financial reasons, only proceed if you can secure a solid incentive. Without the tax break above, our system would take almost 18 years to pay for itself, which isn't as great an investment.

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Stephen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Luckily, the passing of the IRA in August increased the federal tax credit for even better incentives, making solar more accessible!

I am very happy with my solar system! I did refer a friend to you this week. She and I were disappointed with your quote. Keep me posted on Storage battery prices.

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Brian, thanks for your happy review and for your referral. Since your 2021 project many factors have changed: supply chain issues, module shortages, etc. but we regret your referral was disappointed. We will keep you posted on storage, which is not showing signs of decreasing... yet!

Very pleased with service and follow-up

We had a PV solar array placed on our barn roof to provide solar power and reduce dependency on our power company. From beginning to end, the service provided by Yes Solar Solutions was superb. The company was quick and expert in answering e-mail questions, the installation went smoothly, and the follow-up by their technicians and sales staff could not have been more thorough and courteous. I highly recommend Yes Solar Solutions as your solar installation choice. Mebane, NC

Problem free power

I had my 12.77 kWp array installed 9 months ago. I have yet to have an issue with the system. The optimizer seems to have been accurately matched to my production and everything works as it should. In months where I'm not using climate control, I have had no power bill besides a $16 per month fee to hook up to the grid.

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Wow...$16 a month for electricity! Happy to have helped make this happen. Thanks for taking the time to share!

Excellent service, great system performance

Late in 2020 we got bids from several vendors for a fairly large (38 panel 10 kW) residential solar system. We chose Yes Solar Solutions in part because they were by far the least expensive and more importantly because two different, very knowledgeable friends recommended them highly. We gave them a year's electric bills from which they modeled the size of unit and explained the tradeoffs with different system sizes. They mapped our roof using a drone, coached us on the warranty options and whether to add battery backup to the package, and ordered the components. Their team of installers worked fast and did a solid job. Of course it was a bit noisy having a team pounding and drilling on the roof, but because they were so fast, the inconvenience was minimal. Yes pulled the permits and arranged for the inspection, and they tested the system. They coordinated with Duke Energy to get a bidirectional meter installed, the last step, at which point we were able to switch it on. Finally, Yes coached us on how to apply for a substantial incentive from Duke Energy. In short, Yes Solar Solutions did everything for us that they could. Everyone was professional, helpful, and clearly very experienced. We couldn't be happier with their service and now, after a year of very low electric bills, we couldn't be happier with the system they designed and installed.

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Phil, solar installation should be a one-stop shop, and we appreciate your trust and your friends' recommendations. Thank you!

Say YES to Yes Solar Solutions!

I'm so happy that "Yes Solar Solutions" did our install. They did an exceptional job installing our solar panels and inverter. The crew knew their stuff and were very polite and hard working. They were very neat and clean when they left. I can't imagine anyone else installing our home solar system.

Educate then Sell! Works with me every time!

I met with three solar vendors. Sadly, I somehow knew more than one of them when it came to the current laws in place and how long they would be valid and apply to my situation. The second took wild stabs at trying to explain how the government tax credits work - I walked away more confused. The third, Yes Solar Solutions, went through the normal elevator speeches but as they finished their opening statement they didn't make that "we'll lets see what we're gonna put on your roof" transition. The associate stopped and asked how many questions that generated and then proceeded to listen to the questions I had. I wasn't cut off and I wasn't given cookie cutter replies. You know those replies that are based on keywords a sales person picks out of your question! Needless to say, the sales person was very patient with all the angles of questioning I come from. Every answer came without hesitation, with confidence and with accuracy. There were questions that I didn't know to ask or that I later had after everything was installed. That is where it got better. I took all the things I felt could have been done better or more from an ignorant homeowner's perceptive and offered the company the constructive criticism. Not only did they accept it and even acknowledge it, it didn't take too long to see it actually being put to use. I couldn't have asked for better before, during, or after support. The only thing that I can't say I am thrilled about is the loan company, BlueWave, they use (at least when my project was installed). I'm not a fan of that company's systems and administration but that is not at all a reflection of Yes Solar Solutions. The system installed on my house is awesome, flawless. And I LOVE the way it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abYV9WXEWvQ&t=2s

Derek , this is exactly how the process should work, including feedback on how we can make the experience even better for the customer, which is the whole goal. Thank you for your business, your support and your beautiful drone photos on YouTube!

Home solar system working as designed, am happy with it

Got proposals from three companies, chose YES Solar after visiting their offices and talking with them. System was installed within about two months and we qualified for the January 2021 Duke Energy rebate with the help of YES. Wanted the system to generate a bit more power than we use for home and Tesla auto and it is doing so. Since March, our bill for kWh used has been zero each month.

Response from Yes Solar Solutions

Zero energy bill! Even with charging the Tesla. Congratulations on your foresight, your advocacy for clean energy and for choosing Yes Solar.

Easy painless solar install

Yes Solar did a great job from start to end. They were the most competitive offer on price and had better warranties than most competitors. Working with everyone throughout the process was easy. Even when there was a small hiccup of the inspection rules and utility program changing the folks at Yes Solar worked around it quickly and got everything hooked up with no real troubles. Definitely would recommend them to others.

Outstanding and professsional service!

I can't say enough good things about the crew from YesSolar Solutions. All of them were professional from start to finish - arriving on time for every meeting, completing the work when they said they would, providing the necessary documents for HOA approval, being present for the town electrical inspection and the Duke power install, and providing excellent information about applying for the Duke energy rebate. Every member of their team is highly trained and geared toward quality service to the client. I think the big difference with their service is that they assign a project manager to each project who oversees every aspect of the installation from planning to switching it on to make sure that everything is done on time and correctly. Each install is given the individual attention it needs to make sure the system will work correctly.

I have really enjoyed working with Yes Solar. They are honest and upfront about what to expect when installing solar panels on your home. In addition to my home in Cary, I have converted 3 shipping containers into tiny homes. When we first talked about using solar, we decided it was not a feasible option at the time. I appreciated their honesty. Now, however, looks like a great time to re-evaluate my situation. It seems like the best time to "go solar". Kathy H.

Simply a great solar solutions company

We decided to go with Yes Solar because of the patience they showed to us throughout the entire process. Originally we started looking at solar products almost 9 months before we made our final decision. During that time, we never felt pressured or that we were getting on the sales teams nerves with our numerous questions. When we finally decided to take the plunge and get Solar energy for our home the sales process was seamless. We were told exactly what to expect, were given several options to select from and each pro and con was discussed with us in extreme detail. On installation day, the install team was very kind, and hardworking. They even made a point to comment on my kindergarten daughters coloring project she was doing during homeschool. That really made her smile and she still 3 months later asks if our solar friends are coming back. All in all finding a company you can trust is getting rarer and rarer these days and I trust Yes Solar completely. This company understands Solar power but customer service is their true strength. Choose Yes Solar and you will not be disappointed.
