Great experience start to finish

We had gotten a recommendation to go with another solar company from a trusted resource, so we were not even looking into other companies. However, something was off about the company we picked, and they were putting major pressure on us to sign a contract with a massive financial cost. So, in the interest of being better informed, we looked into Great Sky Solar. Great Sky had installed my brother-in-law's panels, and he thought they were phenomenal. What hooked us was that he said they didn't put pressure on him at all. After the first communication with Great Sky, we started to have more serious doubts about the first company. The Great Sky quote was much lower, and they never harried us or told us we had to act NOW if we wanted the panels installed by year end. Since we had already had the full solar pitch from the first company, we felt like we knew what we wanted and what to expect. We never met with the sales team in person but talked on the phone and emailed back and forth. Their approach was so relaxed, informed and flexible that we realized pretty soon they were the company for us. The other company had told us we needed critter guards and would have installed them at the same time as the panels. But Great Sky said they didn't do that but could recommend a company who could. That gave us pause for a while, but even without the critter guards, the quotes were so wildly different, that it became a no brainer to go with Great Sky. They took care of the city permits and installation was a breeze. I was actually surprised how quickly the panels went up (especially considering the other company was telling us it would take a long time, and we needed to act FAST). We started talking to Great Sky in July; the panels were up in September; and we got permission to operate in October. I would definitely recommend Great Sky Solar. Special shout out to Rebecca Craddock who was our project manager and kept us informed at every stage.
