King Solar Excellent - Wel, 3 weeks ago
I heard about King Solar on NPR-KMUW and thought "What the heck? I'm going to give them a call." Instead I sent an email and got a response back the next morning. Mark-owner contacted me and was very polite and patient to answer all of the questions I had at the time. We emailed back and forth once or twice and then decided to dig just a little deeper into the possibilities. I sent Mark a record of our electric bills for the past several months and "Wa-La" the next day I had an estimate for how much energy we could produce, how many panels we would use and even a photo of our actual house with the panels superimposed over the roof. Perfect. The coolest part, we could supply our house and my shop with all of our electrical needs via solar. From that point on... I was "in." King Solar did the rest. They competed all legal filings with the utility company, came out when they said they would and completed the job on time, on budget and will monitor it for the life of the system. It's still all new, but at this juncture.. we couldn't be happier. King Solar is an exceptional small company. If they ever go public, I'll invest. These are good folks to work with, every person with the company has been friendly, polite and above all else, professional. Cheers to Mark and the other Mark, Adam and all the rest. Thanks King Solar!

Sunpro, and in particular Hector, made going solar, simple and painless. Hector thoroughly explained the whole process, and also ensured that he was present when it came time for the panel installation. He has made himself available at all hours of the day and night for any questions that I have had, and ensures that all my questions are answered. Hector is a kind man, and has excellent customer service skills. I truly appreciate Sunpro and Hector for such a wonderful experience.

The two men I worked with at Zenernet were very nice and helpful. But when Sunnova got into the picture, things changed. They started asking me for information they had no right to (like my will) and then said they couldn't do business with me because I refused to provide them with the information they wanted. They couldn't give me a legal reason for wanting it, just "because I said so". Since I was planning on leasing the equipment, not buying it, they would not have any legal interest in my property. My attorney provided them with the limited information I was ok with, but they still wanted more. I still have not heard any reason from them why they'd want the info they requested, but I certainly wouldn't provide them (or any other company) with what they wanted. I never was able to speak with the same person twice. People would call at all hours and leave messages for me to call them, but I could never reach the person who actually made the call. And every one of them was rude. I give them no stars, but I guess I have to give them one in order for the review to register. My advice, find another solar company.

I had Lawrence Wind & Solar (now LZ Flooring Plus) install ten solar panels on the roof of my garage. They were installed for personal, residential use with the city requiring a second meter. I was impressed with the product, the installation and the follow-up service provided by Lawrence Wind & Solar. This was the first solar installation for our city electric utility department, so a representative of Lawrence Wind & Solar met with city personnel and visited with the city council to adapt their billing system to the new solar service I added. This took many hours of study and explanation on the part of the Lawrence Wind & Solar representative, but I feel the billing from the city is now fair and correct for my circumstance. The panels heeded to be removed and reinstalled when I had after-storm roof replacement and there were no problems with that process.

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:
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.
