Solar Makes Sense

My Husband is a Financial Advisor and we have been considering solar for a while. Since we just installed a new roof, we thought this would be a good time to look into it seriously. It turned out that we would recoup our costs far quicker than we thought with the monthly savings our system generated. Also, the tax credit reduced our costs even further. Your Energy Ally provided us with both purchase and finance options, and we decided to purchase it outright even though we would save money in the long run either way. We liked that Your Energy Ally was a broker and shopped the right system and installers for us so we didn’t have to call multiple companies. YEA was able to quickly install the system at a great price and really took the time to understand what we wanted and explained our options. This has been a great investment for us, and our savings are now going into our kid’s college fund! If you are thinking of getting Solar, get it from YEA. They made it so easy for us and we would highly recommend them again.

Beyond Excellent!

Your Energy Ally provides excellent advice, product and service. Nic set us up with a system that produces more than enough energy and credits cover full energy costs. Nic’s advice was solid. I appreciate his honesty about solar systems and technology. We are very pleased with the system we installed.

Wow!

Your Energy Ally and Nic Torvend came highly recommended by a co-worker of mine. I had another experiences working with one of the "big name" solar companies and ultimately had to back out because of multiple issues. l was hesitant and concerned with starting the process all over again. I took the chance and a couple months later my system was up and running perfectly with no issues before, during, or after installation. working with Nic was a dream. I have had many home improvements over the years, but have never had an experience this great. All i can say is WOW! I wish I had known about Nic from the very beginning. The bar has been set high for future sales people i choose to work with. Thanks Nic!

Easy Communication and Quick Installation

I originally spoke with Nic over the phone and he was able to easily answer all of my questions. He wasn't a pushy salesman. I provided our address and electricity bills. Nic was able to screen shot a Google maps satellite image of the property and he drew up a mock up of where the panels would likely be located. He provided recommendations on the brand and number of panels based on electricity usage. Upon deciding to move forward, he set up the meetings for the initial inspection and communicated with me throughout the process to make sure everything was going smoothly. Overall a great experience with Nic and I would recommend him.

Awesome Experience

Nic did a great job explaining the whole process from start to finish for us in terms that we could understand. He explained several options that we had, shows us examples of several different types of panels and ultimately recommended what was the best fit for our unique situation. He worked directly with the installers to handle everything from the permits to final installation and hookup. Nic made the process so easy! I definitely recommend Nic to anyone looking at solar.

A Wealth of Knowledge

So glad I talked to Nic Torvend about my solar because I almost made a really bad decision just so I could get a "good deal." Nic Torvend asks the right questions, so you get the right system for you. Sure he can tell you the rates of decay from one solar panel to another, but the real value is that he paints the big picture. This way you don't waste your time and money on the wrong system or fly by night contractor. Can't complain that his pricing was better than the competitors' too. :) Thanks Nic!

Great Solar Experience!

Our meeting with Nic Torvend was interesting and informative. His computer program showed specifics for our home use and what we would save. The vendor he matched us with - Sunworks - was prompt, and helpful. Now that we have had the solar panels and service for a year we can definitely state that we have saved a great deal and are Very satisfied. Our average electrical bill was $10 a month, and the roundup charge at the end of the year was only $78! Nic predicted what we would save and he was correct! We would suggest anyone interested in getting solar to contact Nic and and learn how to save on the rising costs of electrical use.<br /> Ann Marie & Yulius Yadegar

Best investment this year.

We were skeptical at first because several of our friends put in solar systems and were disappointed. I had also talked to another company who looked at our home location online and said that a solar system wasn't feasible given our energy usage. Now, my wife and I couldn't be happier that we were able to speak to Nic and acquire our solar system. We are saving enough money now that it looks like the system will pay for itself in less than eight years. The best thing we like was that Nic took a conservative approach at how much we would save. Under promising and over delivering is what we would ideally like from every one we do business with. Nic set the bar really high in this regard that it almost feels like we were spoiled. Nic patiently explained everything involved with the install process besides answering all of our questions justifying why we should or should not purchase a solar system. While Nic came out to meet with us personally several times before and after the install, we always felt he was available. Nic made sure we understood how to best enjoy our solar system. We were pleasantly surprised several times by things turning out better than expected and we are confident anyone who works with Nic as their energy ally will be more than happy with their results as well.

Experience regarding Installation of Solar Panels

Hi,<br /><br />I spoke with Nic regarding installing Solar Panels at my residence during Oct 2016. The process was transparent, with Nic offering very competitive quotes. He patiently answered all my technical and other questions and provided great answers to my queries. <br /><br />He also provided me with relevant information regarding the Inverters and Racking. He was diligent in following up with me throughout the installation process.<br /><br />If you are looking to install Solar Panel, I would recommend Nic and Your Energy Ally because my experience with them was great.

Quality Representation

I had 13 solar panels installed last Sept.. Nic Torvend represented the company and<br />I was very impressed by his presentation and knowledge of Energy Ally and their solar<br />panels. He was able to answer all my questions, and could custom fit to my needs the<br />use of panels on my house. Nic does not pressure, you decide ! He was and still is always <br />there to answer my questions and knows the big picture for the solar world. I am already <br />saving through the winter months and look forward to a productive summer.

Solar even on metal roof

Having a metal barrel-tile roof (you are only supposed to put your foot on the valleys) most solar salesmen told me it was impossible to install solar on my roof. Not Nic - he found a great company (Sunworks) that would work with me to get me a great system consisting of made in Germany Q-Cell 280W panels and a solar edge single phase DC inverter. During the installation the Sunworks contractors did damage some panels, but the contract I had worked out with Nic spelled out that the installer was liable for any damage to the roof. And they stood up to that - once the installation was completed I scheduled my roofer to come out and swap out the damaged panels with new ones, and Sunworks paid for it. Thus far I'm extremely happy with the system and the process of getting it installed.
