Don Murray Boise, ID

Comet Energy perform installed our Solar System and I was very pleased with their performance. We did have a little leak after the installation in which they promptly came back and repaired. I would highly recommend them on future .projects. They also helped me with knowledge and advice on wiring for my shop. Strongly recommend them to anyone else planning a solar project. Professional and great to work with.

Comet energy did a great job installing my solar panels. They were always answering my questions when I asked. Michelle did a great job keeping me informed on the progress of the project. I would recommend them for installing your solar.

I had Comet Energy install my solar panels about 7 months ago and they were wonderful. Even the 1 hiccup that happened was a breeze to deal with with their help. (City permit issues) They are courteous and knowledgeable about all things solar. I'd recommended them to anyone looking for solar installation.

They did what they said they would do and in a timely manner. Even after the intstall they helped walk me through how to determine how much energy was being produces, issues with snow covering the panels, etc.

Comet Energy installed my solar 2 years ago and I’m loving it! My bill was often over $200 and it’s usually $5 now (the cost to have a meter). They came and left when they said they would and answered all my questions.

They did a good job once they got started, other than the fence around the arraybut getting them to start, the loan and the tax credit was fuzzy

Hi George,

We have reached out several times since you left this review and haven't been able to get a hold of you. We do agree that the fence could use some work and would like to discuss this with you if you are available. I'm sorry if you weren't informed that a ground mount would take longer. We cannot install those in the winter months, as the ground is usually frozen, and you should have been made aware of this. If you still have questions about your loan and tax credit please contact your salesperson, as we only handled the installation on your project. If you have any questions or concerns or would like us to correct the fence, please reach out to us.

Thank you,

The Comet Energy Team

Hi Kelli,

We are sorry you are unhappy with your results. We pride ourselves in customer service and are sure to follow up if we happen to miss a call. We have reached out to try to discuss these issues with you, but are unable to get in touch with you. When we receive a contract from a third-party sales company, we install what was agreed to in the contract, which most salesmen are careful to calculate as close as they can. Unfortunately, we, the installation company in this situation, aren't given any information to go on to discuss the amount of solar we install or how it might affect your power bills. If your production isn't what you were promised, I would suggest reaching out to your salesperson. If you have any questions about your system or how it is performing, please contact our office at (208)278-6064.

Thank you,

The Comet Energy Team
