Solar Product Partnerships

Avolta boasts a number of industry-leading partnerships to deliver quality solar energy systems and solar financing options. In terms of solar equipment, the company has partnered with both Enphase and SolarEdge — the two leading string and micro inverter manufacturers in the business. Products from these two companies convert energy for any size of solar power system and can be adapted to add solar backup batteries to an existing system. Avolta has also partnered with IronRidge and Pegasus Solar, both pioneers in solar roof mounting and racking technology.

The solar installer has also partnered with a number of well-known solar financing companies:

• Loanpal
• Sunlight Financial
• Mosaic
• Dividend 

Each of these lenders provide homeowners with robust financing options flexible to almost any budget and often for zero money down.

Widely Available

Although Avolta Power is headquartered in Utah, the company serves homeowners across seven U.S. states:

• Colorado
• Idaho
• Minnesota
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Texas (Dallas and Houston)
• Utah

Considering that most solar providers only cover one or two states, the fact that Avolta has maintained such wide availability since its founding in 2015 speaks to the company’s high-quality systems and customer service.

• Undisclosed Workmanship Warranty
• No Panel Disclosure
• No Lease or PPA Options
• No NABCEP Certification

Undisclosed Workmanship Warranty

Although Avolta has made clear that every solar installation comes with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty (which protects against damaged or defective solar panels), the company has not disclosed its workmanship warranty, which would protect the system against errors or damage caused during the installation process. Leading solar companies provide labor warranties good for up to 25 years.

No Panel Disclosure

As with most companies, Avolta likely sources its solar panels from multiple manufacturers; however, the company has not publicly disclosed which, if any, solar panel manufacturers it has partnered with. The brand and model of solar panels built into a solar system greatly informs the price, durability, and energy efficiency of the system at-large, so providing this information prior to the customer obtaining a quote will empower homeowners comparing multiple providers.

No Lease or PPA Options

Avolta’s partnerships provide customers with solid solar loan options; however, Avolta does not appear to provide solar leases or power purchase agreements (PPAs) for customers on a more fixed budget who would still like to invest in solar energy for their home.

No NABCEP Certification

Avolta Solar does not appear to hold an NABCEP certification. The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners provides leading certification programs in the solar industry. While the lack of a certification does not imply poor quality on the part of Avolta, companies with this designation are true experts in all things solar installation and technology.
