Sun power install by IPS

IPS was the most knowledgeable and professional Solar installer I talked to during my selection process. They also provided the most flexibility in customizing the system to fit my homeowner preferences. Having a solar system on your roof and the components on/around your house for many years, I'm glad I was involved in the design/installation process. I believe I could have found an installer that would have had the system installed for cheaper, and I could have found one that would have had the system installed faster -- but ultimately the quality and overall installation was very professionally done.<br /><br />Some details of my installation that maybe I couldn't have achieved with a 'typical' installer. On a portion of my roof that was more visible, I had a more attractive all black Sunpower panel installed. On the other portion I had a high efficiency but slightly less attractive version of panels installed. There was barely any conduit showing on the back of the house, most of it hidden by the panels and also they painted the conduit to match what was behind. I had some electrical upgrades done at the same time, a service upgrade to 200Amp, a few additional exterior outlets, and some customizations that allowed for a few outlets of power during a daytime power outage (due to code restrictions, sometimes grid tied systems produce no usable power during grid outages).<br /><br />Overall, IPS was very professional and great to work with.
