I think my system is working & functioning properly?

Pros: <br /><br />1. I have a functioning system that I think is producing the proper power output.<br /><br />Cons: <br /><br />1. The HOA permit process was a mess. The first paperwork sent to me was for<br />a completely different HOA, not mine. I was told to send two seperate checks to<br />the wrong HOA as well for the permits. I had to practically call my HOA to call<br />the Renova HOA specialist to get the paperwork & permit process completed.<br /><br />2. My system was not installed by a licensed electrician. After the job was<br />completed & waiting inspection, I informed the office foreman that some<br />of my �Arc Fault Breakers� were not properly reinstalled in the new sub-panel.<br />Only then did a licensed electrician show up & reinstall the proper breakers<br />to comply with electrical code.<br /><br />3. The install process was rushed & chaotic. The crew broke 18 roof tiles.<br />When I called them on it, they said the would cement back together the ones<br />that were not broke completely. They would only replace the ones that were completely<br />destroyed. Only after I complained to the job manager at the main office was a <br />roofing crew sent out to completely replace ALL the broken tiles. I hope my<br />roof does not leak the next time it rains?<br /><br />4. I never got a followup visit from my salesman to walk me thru my system &<br />show me all my output totals & system functions. Also connect my system to<br />the monitering App. I eventually did all that myself.<br /><br />5. The crew left the manufacturer stickers & bright green quality control decals on the sides of my panels. I will have to go up on my roof & remove them myself. Not very profesional.<br /><br /><br />To Wrap things up. It was a bumpy install, but all is well & I am a happy Renova Solar Customer.

We'll work to earn that 5 fives from you with our customer service!
