Cannot say enough good things about our interaction with A&R Solar. Very accommodating and attentive of every detail and concern we had from presales all the way through to post installation support. We had invited 4 contradictors to our home to bid on the installation using matching system components. We chose A&R and although they were not the least expensive (2nd least expensive), they were able to articulate solutions to issues I perceived concerning the installation. Bottom line, I felt I was NOT being sold to. The other three were definitely in the ‘sales’ business and two of them bad mouthed each other! In any case, do no choose anyone else in the Puget Sound region.
Installation went well, but it did run a couple days over as they underestimated the difficulty of working on our high, steeply pitched roof. Originally planned for 5 days, it ran about 7.5. The installation itself was extremely clean and professional with all new wiring in garage enclosed in rigid conduit. The other 3 contractors wanted to use flex conduit which is a ‘no go’ in my garage and speaks volumes about the level of professionalism of their electricians. If they can’t run rigid conduit, they are probably many other things they have difficulty with. I believe A&R’s electricians are commercially licensed where the other were likely residential licensed.
In closing, I’d like to say I’ve had a look at a lot of solar installations, particularly when visiting California. It is extremely rare I see an installation done as well as ours. Most appear poorly planned and haphazardly installed. Panels placed on the roof with no rhyme or reason, electrical wiring exposed and running down the side of the home. It is amazing to me what people will allow installed on their roof. I think many shady contractors popped up overnight to take advantage of past lucrative state incentives there. In any case, A&R is TOP NOTCH, and you definitely will not get a ‘California’ install with them!... read more
