Great people, great installation, great solar!

I talked to several local installation companies before choosing PV Squared. I already liked the PV2 philosophy and the people I dealt with during the engineering and proposal, and they eventually got the contract because they were able and willing to put more solar generation on our odd roof than other installers. At least one other proposal was comparable, but the other installer simply didn't seem willing to work a little harder to get the business. I suspect this is at least in part because we are a rural location that required panels in three different arrays on three different roof surfaces, which was more than others wanted to deal with. PV2 was happy to juggle multiple designs and happy to get the job done. About ten months later, the output has generally exceeded their estimates and our expectations, and they've promptly and effectively dealt with the few issues that have cropped up. I've had a few complaints about the utility company involved, and PV2 folks have patiently talked through those with me as well, even though it was not their responsibility to do so. I think that much of their success derives from the fact that they are a local co-op made up of people who care, have plenty of experience, and aren't out to simply profit off of their clients. I'd give them my business again in a heartbeat.
