I got my roof, AC, and solar with EHS and I’ve already recommended people to this company because they worked so fast to get the job done. Alex is awesome to work with too, communicated very well throughout the process.

This company used to be USA Solar, they do solar panels installations, collect money and then disappear, leaving you without any warranty, monitoring service and did not even paid the subcontractors installers. I have proof, Mr Joe Bruce runs the company.

We have not had our system installed yet, But our salesman (Jeff G) was head and shoulders above all competitors! We did our research and listened to presentations from over 10 solar companies. We were almost convinced solar was not for us and then Jeff G came to our house. He was totally on point and presented us with a system not only cheaper than all the other companies, but better in quality and larger in Kilowatts. I would recommend everyone shopping for solar to contact this company and you will see for yourself they far more superior than all their competitors.

We have an atypical house & roof (EPDM with a slight slope, no attic) and were quite concerned about puncturing it, but ultimately felt at ease after walking through the process with SEW. The warranty also gave us peace of mind in terms of being covered in case of any potential leaks in the future. We haven't actually been able to turn the panels on, but we don't expect any issues once Dominion installs our new meter and we can finally start using them. Would definitely recommend SEW based on our experience so far.

We highly recommend Power Production Management. During a time of short staffing and other numerous obstacles due to COVID, they have maintained a high level of professionalism and customer service throughout. Their proposal included options at different price points and capability. They were always quick to respond to questions, provided thorough explanations of both their proposed options and the system in general. They went above and beyond during the install, even staying until 10:00pm to ensure the job was completed and done correctly. They responded favorably to my interest in understanding the basic operations of the system and spent a good deal of time with me during the interconnect explaining the various components, emergency shutoffs and methods to monitor the system. It is important to have an installer that knows how to work with the local utility as each of them have different requirements. If these are not met, it can delay the interconnect for weeks. Power Production Management has a history with GRU and the Gainesville Building Inspection Department, so the inspection and interconnect went very smoothly. We really appreciate their hard work that instilled confidence from the initial proposal until the day of interconnect with GRU.

Was impressed with the professionalism of my sales rep Jim when he came to the house. He had all the information I needed and gave me examples why their product and solution was the best. The communication throughout the entire process was great and the installers did a fabulous job. I even got a follow up call the day after installation from Colleen who was also spectacular through the whole process. Highly recommend this company!

After having spoken to eight solar companies, I interviewed Solar Bear. My contact person was Kevin, whom I would call a true professional. He helped me to understand everything that was not clear. As far as Solar Bear itself, they made a guarantee of the minimum amount some of their work would save me - this sets them apart from their competition. My late wife's illness and my subsequent widowhood had a devastating impact on my credit rating - but to my delight, Solar Bear was able to find affordable financing for me that was even lower than the mortgage on my home! That's going the extra mile! Thanks again, Kevin.

3 Years ago I contracted ECS Solar out of Gainesville to install my new pv system. Not only did they mess up the job, but I had an ongoing lawsuit with them until they successfully skipped town. So now I brought in A1A to fix that mess up and upgrade my system to be the way it should have originally been. I REALLY wish I had just gone with A1A in the first place because these guys got the job done right and in an orderly time.

I had always thought of going solar energy to reduce my carbon footprint. Having lived most of my life in Ohio I knew it was not cost advantageous. Since I moved to Florida 1-1/2 years ago I have researched solar once again. I interviewed 5 solar companies. My Goldin Solar representative was by far the most knowledgeable about every aspect of solar energy and how Goldin goes about their business. Everything he told me was exact to the most miniscule degree. The pricing although not the cheapest they were extremely competitive. The overall package of their system being the most updated of all and the quality of their panels helped me get over the small price difference immediately. I wanted a solar system that would last and my rep showed me the features and benefits of Goldin's system that far outweighed the competition. After the contract was signed the engineers came and mirrored everything my rep told me. The installers were very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. My wife and I felt very comfortable having them around our home and working on it. My account representative kept me informed more than I could ask for and she also was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. This was a major investment for us and we took almost a year to make the decision. As it turns out, it was the best decision for my family and my budget I could have ever made. Thank you Goldin Solar for being the people that you are!

They were a recommendation and I am glad that I went with them. The crew that came out discovered a problem with my pool system at the filter and heater. A supervisor was dispatch and he had a tech respond out and redo the plumbing to my pool. They made sure everything was running correctly before leaving. I would definitely recommend them. And I will be a life long customer. They treat you like family

I contacted IQ Power when my the production of system installed by Brevard Solar that went out of business fell down by 50%. IQ Power identified the problem and made the necessary repairs. I had a follow up issue that turned up to be connectivity, the company honored the warranty and got the system up and running.

Our experience with SunVena has been great! We chose SunVena because they came highly recommended by a friend of ours. Chantelle, our consultant, was extremely warm, knowledgeable and personable. We compared multiple solar companies and by far, SunVena had the most fair pricing. The entire SunVena team's interpersonal skills from the initial process, to installation, and to PTO was seamless. SunVena has delivered everything they said they would. The only thing that would have made our experience even better is to have even more explanation on how to read the system after we received permission to operate. We have access to an app that tells us how much our system is producing live, but we are still in the early learning stages of being solar owners in our home and learning the ins and outs to become even more knowledgeable consumers.

The crew showed up worked quietly, neatly and efficiently. The panels look great, the installation is flawless and the Ninjas on the roof were in and out of here before I knew it. Living in South Florida this is actually unheard of. Don't look anywhere else. Bison is THE Solar Panel company you need.

Types of solar energy companies
There are several different types of solar companies, and there are significant differences between them.
Large corporate solar companies
These are companies like Tesla, Sunrun and Vivint Solar with corporate ownership and wide geographical coverage. When residential solar took off back in 2012, they were the first to offer zero-down solar options and thus gaining massive market share. However, these companies grew too quickly and were unable to maintain the quality of their customer service; this is reflected in their poor review scores on SolarReviews and other sites. Furthermore, these large companies face stiff competition from local solar companies who now offer zero-down financing via specialist solar loan companies. Indeed, in a bid to stay competitive, in July 2020 Sunrun and Vivint, the largest companies by market share, announced they were merging.
Local and family-owned solar installation companies
These companies are typically one-stop shops that both sell and install solar systems. They are more likely to employ their own installation team rather than outsourcing the task. This is a good thing: our reviews indicate that customers are more satisfied with jobs performed by in-house crews.
Solar sales companies
These are companies that sell solar to homeowners over a large geographical area, but rely on outsourced installation labour to supply all the equipment, manage the permitting, and perform the installation. For example, they may sell you a solar system for $15,000, but then pay an EPC contractor $12,000 to supply and install the entire job. These companies also tend to have super-aggressive sales tactics, and we generally see low customer satisfaction for consumers who sign with them.
EPC contractors
EPC contractors do all of the permitting, installation and inspections for solar jobs that other companies sell. They became common as large corporate solar companies like SolarCity sold zero-down systems across vast parts of the country where they had no installation teams of their own. Large corporate solar companies still tend to use outsourced installation labour to protect themselves from any liability in the case of accidents. Like all roof work, solar panel installation carries large safety risks for workers.
Solar panel manufacturers
These are the companies that make the solar panels. Unfortunately, very few solar panel manufacturers still make solar panels in America. Even San Jose-based SunPower now makes all of its panels overseas. Ironically, probably the only major company making panels in the US right now is Jinko Solar, a large Tier 1 Chinese-owned manufacturer with a factory in Jacksonville, FL. The leading solar panel manufacturers are LG, Panasonic, QCells, SunPower, LONGi, Trina Solar, Canadian Solar, JA Solar, GCL, and Hyundai.
Solar inverter manufacturers
Inverters convert the DC power made by your panels to AC power that your home can use. Inverters cause far more warranty issues than the solar panels themselves. If there’s one piece of advice we have for those going solar, it’s to buy a good inverter brand. The rapid shutdown rule now in force in most jurisdictions means that micro inverters or power optimizers need to be used, rather than string inverters.
(This is unfortunate, as string inverters have far fewer warranty issues). We recommend the brand Enphase for micro inverters, and SolarEdge for power optimizers. If string inverters are allowed where you live, then we suggest either SMA or Fronius.
Solar finance providers
Consumers who want to buy solar panels (instead of lease them) can now access loans from many different companies. Buying solar is preferable to leasing as it allows you to keep the 26% federal solar tax credit; if you lease panels, the credit goes to the lessor instead. Solar loan applications are made through your solar installation company, who acts as the dealer for the financing company. Leading solar loan providers include Mosaic, Dividend and Greensky.
Which solar company should I choose?
The reviews scores for the largest solar companies are far worse than those for local, family-owned solar installation companies.
The best solar companies meet the following criteria:
- Local
- Family-owned
- Less than 50 staff
- Has an office near you
- Been in business longer than 5 years
- Employs their own installation crews
- Uses Tier 1 solar panels
- Uses inverters from Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA or Fronius
The solar industry is full of fly-by-night solar companies — both big and small — that open one year and are gone the next.
Solar panels last for 25-30 years, so you want an installer who will help you with any problems or system faults. For this to happen, your installer needs to be able to stay in business
Local solar companies, as a group, have the highest reviews score on our site and also have lower overheads than corporate installers, making them more likely to survive in the long term.

Forget trying to get customer service from Sunrun. I began trying to contact them over two weeks ago... no reply yet. If you phone, you can have a wait time of up to 2 hours (maybe more) but they say they'll save your place in line and call you back... So you're meant to wait around for two hours because once they've made the call the apparently make no further attempt to call you back. This is the worst customer service imaginable. Steer clear of Sunrun. There are surely more reputable companies. If I didn't have to give them a star to get this published, I would not.
