Amergy Solar
Is This Your Business?Author: Kaitlyn Short
Amergy Solar has been providing full-service solar power to residential and commercial customers since 2009. The company serves two states: New Jersey and New York. Amergy implements some of the highest-quality equipment available in its systems; however, the company does not currently provide customers with backup batteries in the event of a power outage. Overall, Amergy Solar provides competitive baseline features to help anyone in its service area go solar.
Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- High-Quality Equipment
- In-House Installations
- Multiple Financing Options
High-Quality Equipment
Amergy Solar uses some of the best solar panels and inverters on the market. The company installs panels manufactured by SunPower, which boasts the most efficient panels available at 22.8%. This ensures that customers will be getting the highest possible electric output money can buy. Additionally, Amergy also gets its inverters from SolarEdge, which ranks as one of the best solar inverter producers around. Amergy's residential, commercial, and non-profit customers can rest assured they're receiving the best equipment money can buy.
In-House Installations
Amergy Solar provides start-to-finish installation of its solar systems; all installation is performed by Amergy employees and not by third-party installers. The advantage to in-house installation is fewer chances for breakdown in communication throughout each step of the process. From the initial consultation, to the system design and financing selection, to the actual installation of the system, Amergy Solar provides consistent service.
Multiple Financing Options
Solar companies can provide up to four different financing options to help their customers go solar: outright purchase of the system, a solar lease, or financing through a loan or power purchase agreement (PPA). Amergy provides all four of these options, meaning customers can choose the level of financial responsibility they have for their systems.
The Bad
- Short Time in Business
- Relatively Small Service Area
- No Backup Battery Options
Short Time in Business
Although a company's time in business is not a perfect indicator of its overall performance, less experienced companies tend to lack the trustworthiness and proven track record of more experienced companies. Amergy has been in business since 2009-longer than many new companies, but not as long as companies that have continued to provide excellent service for multiple decades.
Relatively Small Service Area
Amergy Solar services just two states: New Jersey and New York.
No Backup Battery Options
One service feature being offered by an increasing number of leading solar providers is a backup battery system that continues providing electricity to the building in the event of a power outage. While many companies do not offer this feature (Amergy Solar among them), the industry as a whole is trending toward providing it.
The Bottom Line
In short, Amergy Solar provides excellent equipment, consistent service, and flexible payment options. However, its service area is relatively small.
