I had been researching solar panels for my home for some time. I feel very fortunate to have found HomeStar Solar Solutions because there are many solar companies out there but not all solar companies are the same. I choose to purchase and not lease my solar panels. The solar PV system prices in the U.S. have dropped steadily so this makes purchasing even more appealing not to mention the Federal and State tax incentives for SC residents. As electricity rates continue to rise, purchasing solar panels for my home was a no-brainer. This was a seamless process all the way from the first meeting with the evaluator to the installers. The office staff and the people in the field doing the actual installations coordinated everything including building permits, scheduling, etc. <br /><br />I was impressed with the integrity of the owner……..the evaluator originally quoted a system that would have been adequate for my current energy usage. However, I knew that my electricity bills were much higher when the children were living at home. I requested figures on a larger PV system because the house can accommodate this. The owner quickly asked me who suggested a larger system for my home. It was my idea because I am aware of how much electricity this house can use when it is full of occupants. I felt that the owner was questioning me because he wanted to make certain that his evaluator was not trying to “up sell†a larger system in order to make a larger commission. This impressed me. I felt as if the owner was protecting me as a consumer, making sure it was the right system for me. There was another small issue during the installation process but HomeStar Solar Solutions made it right. <br /><br />I also had a radiant barrier and new insulation installed in my attic. This will help make my entire house more energy efficient and has helped with my gas heating bills. I love my Nest thermostat which I can control remotely as well. There is also another application that is strictly for the solar power monitoring. It permits me to view how much energy I have produced with any given day. The charts and graphs are awesome. This is constant monitoring of each solar panel and will let me know if one of the panels is not producing as it should. I almost forgot to mention the warranty from HomeStar Solar Solutions is phenomenal. I am very happy with my purchase through HomeStar Solar Solutions and I do highly endorse them.
