Cannot recommend Cosmo Solaris Highly Enough!

If you’re looking for a home solar system, I cannot recommend Cosmo Solaris highly enough. We used Energy Sage to help us gather quotes and figure out how to analyze them on an apples-to-apples basis. My wife and I initially wanted to just partially replace our grid purchased electrical energy to help reduce our carbon footprint. But when we ran the numbers over a 15-year time frame, it didn’t make financial sense for us. Knowing that energy costs will just keep going up, the cost of a smaller, partial system wasn’t viable. We went back to the two best quotes that we had received and spoke with their sales reps. Hassan at Cosmo Solaris was just awesome. We asked him, how close to 100% energy replacement can you get us for no more than “X” number of dollars? We asked the other company the same question and gave them the same cost limit. Hassan came back with a proposal for 100% replacement at our budget—18.9 kW system with guaranteed 26,600 KWh annual production minimum. the other company’s answer was 78%. I’m a retired engineer so I dug deep into Cosmo Solaris’ quote and examined the engineering documents and researched the parts they proposed (panels, rails/mounts, microinverters, etc.). Their proposal did not cut any corners; everything was top of the line. Cosmo Solaris included purchasing a 3rd party 30-year warranty insurance on every part and the labor for the whole system. Other companies touted their own warranty and the various parts manufacturer’s warranties. Well, I know from hard experience, a warranty is only good for as long as that company remains in business. With Cosmo Solaris offering a 3rd party warranty from an insurance company, if anything goes wrong for the next 30 years and Cosmo Solaris or any of the various parts manufacturers go out of business, we’re still fully covered, the insurance will pay for equivalent parts and pay for labor. Awesome peace of mind. After signing the contract, Cosmo Solaris earned top marks for communication (thank you Martin!) and making good on all promises. The system was installed on time (actually finished a little early), inspection went smoothly because everything was done correctly, and when we got final approval from our grid provider, my wife and I threw the switch together to go live! Energy Sage helped us evaluate the financial side very well, in our case our breakeven will be in about six years (due to the unusually high cost of energy where we live) since we purchased outright and thus no interest to pay. Yes, there is Present Cost of Money and Lost Opportunity cost if you go that deep, however that is all more than offset by the 30% Federal Tax rebate and the state credits (SRECs-which Cosmo Solaris guaranteed for 15 years). An advisor at Energy Sage compared our system to buying a six-year annuity, once we’re past that six-year breakeven point our Cosmo Solaris system will pay thousands of dollars every year in “dividends” providing free energy for 30+ years! Thank you, Cosmo Solaris and Energy Sage.
