Very good experience and process

I began my solar journey getting far too many quotes from local, regional, and national companies. With an absurd amount of quotes and different equipment, I finally got in touch with Nick at Solar Energy World. While each company had their own way or presenting the data, equipment, and expected savings, Nick was the first to really just talk to me as a person and try to understand what I already knew and where gaps were in my knowledge. At no point did I ever feel pressured to make a decision, rather he just became someone that knew a ton about solar that I could ask questions. My personal style of understanding a new and expensive technology is to ask a ridiculous amount of questions and find very specific and detailed answers. Nick was able to do that for me with ease and without frustration. Rarely did I find something he didn't know off the top of his head and in a few cases where he didn't immediately have the answer, he checked in with the engineering team to get an accurate response. Once I decided to move forward with the quote, SEW worked behind the scenes to get everything lined up with the county and power company. Occasionally I'd get a question or two from the back office to clarify something they needed for permits but that was really it until they needed time from me for scheduling. Install of my system took about three days with racking and panels being installed on the first. Part of my installation also required replacement of my main breaker panel - something independently seen by another electrician at a later date that noted it was a great panel and the work was done well. After install was just a matter of waiting until the utility company gave permission to turn system on. Once that came in, Solar Energy World communicated via email and phone call to let me know we were ready to turn on and offered to guide me through powering up the system by flipping a breaker. The email they sent had example photos as well to help guide. Overall it was a pleasant and streamlined experience with a warranty better than anyone else that quoted me. Given they are a larger regional company I thought they were most likely to be resilient over the years than some smaller and the much larger national companies which were already struggling some.
