The Bad

  • No Leases or PPAs
  • Limited Availability

No Leases or PPAs

While Canopy Energy focuses on providing its customers with solar ownership options, the company does not offer leases or power purchase agreements (PPAs), which are both popular options among home and business owners.

Limited Availability

Currently, Canopy Energy's services are only available in California, New York, and New Jersey. Consumers who live elsewhere unfortunately will not be able to go solar with this company.

Perry Rector Garden Grove, CA

Exceeded my expectations. Moved to larger house with pool and central air. Purchased 29 panels. Home needed, new electrical box, new roof, and extra repairs due to extensive termite damage and dry rot. Roof has a steep pitch on 2 story house. Several contractors did not want to bid on roof because it was a difficult project. Canopy found construction experts for repairs. Within a few weeks construction began. Solar panels were delivered and installed as new roof was installed. Within 2 weeks of starting construction the system is producing power, but is shut off, waiting for final inspections and approvals.

Ed Luna Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I’m surprised to see negative reviews, my experience was really good. Had the consultation and I got what I feel was a really good deal. I was going to spend like 70k in electricity over the next 25 years and my system cost me 30k which I thought was a no brainer. The guy told me up front that it’s not an over night process and it would be 1-3 months to complete the whole project. Which I figured since it’s construction... all in all was pretty fast, within 5 weeks the job was done and my system was on. The guys name that helped me was Pedro, kept in touch throughout the process and dropped me off a gift (bottle of tequila I had mentioned I like)

I read all the reviews and comments about Canopy Energy, but I want to write down my experience with them. All the personal that I meet are very professional. The saleswoman came to my home and demonstrate to me that this company is very serious and help the family to obtain the solar system, also, she give me her own cellular phone number to call to any hour in case that I have a question or a problem with my system. They find me the wright program to qualified me for finance and until now I'm very satisfy for the economy that I have in electricity. They do the all process in two month. Thank you Canopy Energy and to all your personnel. Ismael

We had our roof replaced and solar installed in 2017. Our Canopy Energy rep, Sharon, was very helpful during the decision process. He took time to explain the benefits of solar and check on our electricity usage to see if it would be a good fit. We are right on the border of making solar worth it since our normal electric bill is very low, but after I did some research as well we decided it would make sense. Plus, we needed a new roof anyway, and the estimate we received from the roofer that Canopy Energy used was the lowest of the estimates we had received from other roofers. Our roof was completed in just a couple of days, though they did leave a mess. As for the solar system we were impressed at how quickly it went up and with really no disruption to our day to day lives. Since it's been on it is working very well. We've had the system for about 9 months now. The system has been running great. All in all I would recommend Canopy Energy, especially if Sharon is your rep.

I searched/shopped around for solar for awhile until I found canopy. This company is one of the best from start to finish. The whole process took about 6 weeks, and we couldn't be happier. From Ilana (our sales rep) to final inspection (Sorry can't remember his name) the whole team was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. They kept their appointments, explained everything every step of the way, and made the whole experience one to write about!

After spending countless hours researching different solar firms, speaking to sales people... I can say they are among the most professional, committed and ethical people I have been affiliated with, and I recommend them without reservation Very good with communicating every step I was well informed about, Installation was very smooth and quick. I can't believe more people aren't doing solar systems...

I met with several solar companies before choosing, my Friends used Canopy Energy and referred us to them for our solar panels system. The salesperson, professionally answered my questions and explained the process from start to finish. I couldn't be at the site, all team helped me every step of the way and sent photos during the installation . I am truly pleased with the entire experience and recommend them.

All the staff at Canopy Energy were very pleasant, professional, and I found them to be very knowledgeable about their product. When a misunderstanding came about, they were receptive to my questions and were very thorough with their assistance and helping to resolve the matter to my satisfaction. Overall I recommend this company. They were neat and clean and did not leave a mess at the end of the work shift. I now am using the sun to produce electricity!!
