My son is the one who contacted the company and set everything up. They have been fantastic so far. When I contacted them they helped me understand how it works and what was going to happen. They explained it all really well. The equipment is very easy to use and efficient. I can check on it with my cellphone and I know what it's doing. The installation went fine, we only had a problem with the people that came in to do it. They stepped on my vents and made a roof leak in my attic. Apparently the person that was up there was new and didn't know he could cause something like that. But other than that, they did a fantastic job sealing everything well and all. I don't have to worry about it all. I've had it for a few months, but so far it has saved me almost 6 months of energy. It cut my bill right in half. They have been very trustworthy and honest.

I knew one of the guys that works with them, so I decided to trust them and go with it. So far so good, it has been doing well. If I have any problem, they're always there for me. When we first got it all installed, I didn't understand how it worked, so I just got a hold of them and they showed me the way to monitor it and all. I also had a problem with the bill, but they showed me the way and helped me understand it, all I had to do is give them a call. The installation itself went really well. The attic was closed and they couldn't get to it, but they managed to bypass that and got it all installed. It looks really good. My energy bill dropped down and all the other things they said would happen have been totally true. On top of that, the service pays for itself. I like the way that it's going so far.

They have been very responsive, great at communication. They answered all of our questions and provide excellent assistance. They met all the time frames and exceeded our expectations. We were on vacation while they installed, but my friend did us the favor of being there while they did that. Apparently it went very smoothly. The solar panels look great and everything looks just fine. We have a program that we can look at to see how much energy we are using and how much we are getting. It's nice to have that extra feature. We have absolutely zero complaints or concerns with them. They are doing a great job.

We used to have solar when we moved from California, so we wanted to have that here too. We went and talked to a Dividend Solar agent to figure it out. Not only did they put solar panels, but they also did an audit on our engine, added a radiant barrier and insulation in our attic, and replaced all the light bulbs with LED's. I did have to move our breaker box to a different place, but it would've costed way more in California. The installation went very smoothly. As a matter of fact, it happened on a day I wasn't home, so I got back and all of a sudden there were solar panels up there. After that we had to wait for a city inspector to come and check everything, but the minute the inspection was done, the solar was on. Everything has been perfect. The panels and equipment work perfectly and they did a really nice job on the installation. They are great.

The equipment itself is fine, but I did have some trouble with the people that came to install my solar panels. They damaged some of my gutters and it took almost a month and a half for everything to be done. In the end they said they got everything replaced for the cheapest price, so I think that was ok. I also had to keep calling them to get updates. Other than that, they have done what they said they would do. We've only had the panels for a few months, so it's hard to tell how much we're saving. The first month was not good at all, and the last one wasn't good either. I got a hundred and something dollars less in the second month, but it still wasn't what I had anticipated. I was told that with the batteries, everything should average out over a year, but it hasn't been uniform so far.

The installation was pretty basic, but it went fine and they did everything that they said they would do. The system does what it's supposed to do. The only thing I had an issue with was getting the Asrocks to turn on so I could have both that and the light, but as long as everything is installed I'm ok.

I just don't think I'm getting the bank for your buck part. I don't know if it's just that the summers are extremely hot or something, but I'm paying much more for my overall electric bill than what I was paying in the past.

I went with them since I liked the idea of owning the system rather than renting it forever. That way, when I pay it all off and retire I don't have to pay a renting bill. When they came in and installed it there were no problems or issues. They did it quickly and answered all of my questions. They were done in about 4 hours and left no mess. It was all perfect, they cleaned up, and were really professional and nice.

The install went quickly. The guys had the panels and everything done in less than three days. Getting the forms processed so we could get online took almost three months however. Our sales rep was in so close contact with us through the set up and install, we almost starting charging him rent. However, once the install was done, we almost never saw him again.

Originally, it was the only option we were given when it came to getting solar, but it has been very easy, quick, and efficient to deal with them. Customer service is well organized and set up, they have made everything very smooth and easy. The panels that we got are medium-high quality, so they are not necessarily the absolute best, but I have no complains. They have been working fine and the auxiliary equipment and web interface of the inverter can be very helpful. We've been perfectly satisfied.

Truthfully, I wasn't given an option, Dividend just came along with the solar company that I hired to put panels on my roof. I ended up having some problems between the layers of Dividend Solar and Trinity Solar. There was some kind of problem about the monitor in my system or something, and so my system was down for a whole month while they figured it out. They kept saying that it was each other's problem and that was pretty annoying. I was out of solar for 3 weeks and had to pay out of pocket more than what I was supposed to. The installation of the solar system was fine, there were no problems there. I imagine the software in general is also alright. With the billing, I ended up paying a different amount than what I thought I had to pay. Apparently it was also because of some installation problems and because the people that did all of that couldn't coordinate to make it all work as it should.

Dividend Solar was not only extremely easy to work with when initially setting up my financing, but they also took the time during the installation process to make sure I understood when I should be authorizing funding of the loan to the contractor. This was very valuable to me as a customer since I had a few items on the scope of work with the contractor and they wanted me to find after the first item was completed. Dividend’s representative took the time to listen and informed me I should wait until all items were installed. I communicated this to the contractor and they didn’t mention it again until everything was installed. I would definitely recommend Dividend to my friends and family.

The whole process was essentially painless. We had a superb salesman, Trent, who answered our questions and smoothed the way for us to achieve our dream of using less fossil fuels by purchasing a solar panel system. Kimberly S kept in contact with us to make sure we were all on the same page as far as scheduling appointments, letting us know what our system was going to look like and helping us finalize a payment plan with Dividend Solar. The crew who installed our solar panels were courteous, friendly, approachable and thoroughly professional in their treatment of us, their customer. The solar panels look great! We would highly recommend that anyone who wishes to diminish their fossil fuel imprint and do a little bit to help the environment to get in contact with ION SOLAR and Dividend Solar.

I had never heard of Dividend, nor did I know Finance companies specifically geared toward home improvements even existed. I have been very happy with my experience so far. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been very polite and patient but also seemed like real people, not like they were reading a script. I’ve communicated with them over the phone and through email, and I’ve always gotten quick and stellar service so far. The approval process was easy and pretty standard, not overwhelmingly or unnecessarily complicated at all, which is not always the case in a financing situation. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dividend to anyone looking for financing for a home solar system or other home improvements.

Things don’t always go as planned and anytime there was a hiccup, we were informed what was happening and what the next steps were. The minor hiccups were so easily and expeditiously handled that we would have never even known if we weren’t specifically told about it.

Dividend Solar financed our solar system. Their installer, Alder Energy Systems, installed a 14.04 kWp system on our house in April 2016. It took two days for the team to complete the install. The crew was professional, polite, clean, and took pride in their workmanship. The foreman was extremely knowledgeable and kept me apprised of what was happening and why. The electrician even took time out to show me how the inverter box worked in detail (honestly, a lot of it was over my head). The completed installation looks great and has been performing well. Even with the excessive amount of rain and cloudy days we've experienced, the system is generating the power forecasted. We are very pleased with our Dividend Solar and Alder Energy Systems, from the loan proposal to energizing the system, to support afterward.

I had a real smooth transition going solar. Everything from the financing to permitting to installation. No issues. Dividend was easy and Etho solar was a great company. Too bad they no longer install solar in the United States. When they went back to Canada I was concerned about my warranty issues but Ginger at Dividend assured me that they would step in and take care of any issues and schedule a repair company if need be. I was very happy to hear that from her. As far as my panels go, I couldn't be happier. I usually had a 300 dollar a month electric bill. Last month a got my first electric bill. Ready for this? ...... $8.89 Yes, that's not a typo. Eight dollars and eighty nine cents. And have put enough kilowatts back into the grid to earn almost 2 REC checks. Massachusetts is paying 472 dollars per REC Certificate. The market is great right now for them. All and all my experience has been a positive one. I should have done this a while ago. Thanks again.

We decided to purchase solar panels in 2014, and DividendSolar took care of everything from soup to nuts: they prepared all the paperwork (barely 7 pages, including pictures), brought in the installer who did a great job, provided the financing, located and connected us with the SREC broker, walked us through the simply process of getting the 30% tax credit, etc... Owning the system itself for us was a no-brainer. Our monthly payments are substantially lower than the savings from the utility, and we also receive quarterly checks from the SREC sales. So not only are we "saving the planet" with a clean source of energy, we are also significantly better off financially, with a positive net cash flow.

Our experience with Dividend Solar has been excellent. The entire process, from applying for and getting approved for the loan, to setting up automatic monthly payments, has been pain and hassle free. The Dividend Solar website is incredibly easy to use and it even allows us to see how much power we're generating each day, month, and since inception. There is an option to pay extra each month or to pay off the loan sooner. Since Dividend Solar monitors the system, if the solar system were to somehow malfunction or accidentally get turned off, they would know about it immediately. The customer service at Dividend is excellent. It is hard to think of how our experience could have been better.
