The Good

  • Scalable Installations
  • No Upfront Costs
  • Wide Service Area
  • Company History

Scalable Installations

Installing solar systems in a timely fashion is not the only installation specialty of Fastrac Solar. Providing a potentially scalable service is another reason Fastrac Solar stands out from its competition. 

Adding to a current solar system is simply not a service that all installation companies are capable of. However with Fastrac Solar, clients who need more power can turn to their solar contractor to increase their ability to produce clean solar energy. 

No Upfront Costs

The cost of having a solar system installed is often the hold up for interested solar clients. With Fastrac Solar, this concern can virtually be eliminated as a solar system can be installed for as little as $0 down. 

Each client who utilizes Fastrac Solar will have access to a free energy assessment prior to any work being done. This assessment will determine how much equipment is needed and what savings the client can anticipate. This assessment is also the start of the design process, which allows for each system to be entirely customized to the structure and the energy needs of the property itself. 

If financing the system, monthly payments can be reduced with tax incentives. It is uncommon for solar installation companies to provide any pricing information in regards to equipment costs or installation fees. Because Fastrac Solar discloses potential fees, prospective solar clients can get a better idea of how the financial aspect of the service can be structured. 

Wide Service Area

Impressively, Fastrac Solar operates in three states. A vast majority of solar installation companies offer a local service, meaning only projects within one state or a select few cities/counties can be serviced by one solar installation company. 

Currently, Fastrac Solar conducts solar installations in Texas, California, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Nevada. By offering services in multiple states, Fastrac Solar is able to service more clients looking to access a clean, renewable energy source.

Company History

In 2019, experienced solar professional Jordan Fruge founded Fastrac Energy Services. Prior to founding Fastrac, Fruge worked as the CMO of Sunnova Energy, a tier-1 solar manufacturer. Before working on the manufacturing side, Fruge helped found SunCap Financial, a solar-specific financing company that helped residential clients fund custom solar projects. 

Fruge combined his experience working on the solar financial side of the industry with his manufacturing solar expertise to create an operation responsible for comprehensive solar contracting solutions.

The Bad

  • Undisclosed Equipment Information
  • Missing NAPCEP Certification Verification 
  • Limited Customer Reviews

Undisclosed Equipment Information

While Fastrac Solar has made claims that each system can be customized to the needs of the client, information regarding what equipment Fastrac actually has access to is not disclosed. 

Most solar installation companies make it a point to highlight what solar manufacturers it works with as researching clients are interested in knowing. Despite this being the industry norm, Fastrac Solar has not specifically verified what equipment, brands, or technology is used in its installations. Interested clients will have to go through the energy assessment process to learn what equipment is available for panel, inverter, and energy storage installation. 

Missing NABCEP Certification Verification 

The North American Board of Certified Energy Professionals is widely regarded as the gold standard certification organization within the renewable energy field. Many solar installation companies make it a point to have at least one NABCEP-certified professional on staff overseeing all installation work. In order to obtain certification, a number of skills are tested as well as knowledge of solar industry specifics. 

NABCEP certification is not required to conduct installations, but it goes a long way in demonstrating a level of craftsmanship and expertise. While Fastrac Solar may be licensed to carry out solar installations in Texas, California, and Nevada, that is not the same as obtaining solar-specific certification. 

Limited Customer Reviews

As of 2022, we currently don't have any Fastrac Energy Services reviews, so we can't speak to how customers feel about their experience with the solar company.

Typically, reviews help potential clients get a feel for the quality of customer service, the efficiency of the installation process, and other factors related to cost and overall experience working with the company.

The Bottom Line

Fastrac Solar provides solar contracting services to clients looking for customized solutions tailored to their property. When clients hire Fastrac Solar, they are getting a professional install service that includes the ability to scale the system. 

Those concerned with solar system installation costs can rest assured that with Fastrac Solar, $0 is required upfront to get the solar system installation process rolling. The Fastrac Solar service exists and operates throughout five states: Texas, California, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Nevada. 

Determining what solar contractor to use is an important decision, and not one many prospective solar clients take lightly. Critically analyzing the service Fastrac Solar provides, it is evident that there are limitations associated with the operation. Despite claims of offering a truly customized service, there is no equipment information provided by Fastrac Solar. 

While Fastrac Solar offers a streamlined solar power service, clients should contact a company representative to get answers to important questions about products and warranties.

Alex San Angelo, TX

The equipment that they're using is definitely very good. I felt like uh, the information that was given makes me feel like they're really premium quality panels. I'm pretty particular about what would be going on my roof and the prior company that I was talking to about panels, they weren't as good. The process was really smooth. There was the inspector that came out and he was the first person that I had talked to because I only wanted them on the backside of my house and he said yeah, that's completely fine. I'm very glad that I took the day off when the installation was actually happening, because I saw that they were getting ready to put them on the front of my house as I told them that I didn't want them there. So we had to stop work for a little bit. I had to call their engineering guy and just tell him that I didn't want them on the front of my house like I had originally said. But after that was figured out, they were completely fine with only putting them on the back of my house. You have to be here to make sure that things go accordingly. I'm having issues with my application on my phone. The Solar Edge, it's pretty good for the most part. The only thing is that the layout of my panels doesn't have the shape of my house, it's just the straight line. It would be cool to have them laid out as they are on my roof, that way I can see which ones are producing more or less. Everything else has been pretty good. They worked with me really well.

They were very quick to respond to any questions I had and their service to get installed is really quick too. Someone else had cancelled and so Fastrac had an opening basically the next day. So when they called me, they said they have an opening tomorrow, we can get your solar panels out there, we can get them installed tomorrow. I was actually going to work from the office that day, so I said sure, as long as you all can install it without me being there, and they said yeah.

They were always very responsive, very friendly and there were a couple of times I had some questions along the way and they were quick to be able to answer them and and be very informative throughout the whole process. There was one little hiccup along the way, just an issue with the electric company, but Fastrac was able to get things resolved and taken care of that I didn't have to worry about any of it.

Chose Fastrac for the price. Installation went smoothly and it didn't take that long. I don't know if it's a Fastrac issue or what because I'm paying the same as I was paying before when I didn't have the solar panels. I already called Fastrac and they told me that supposedly there's nothing wrong with the solar panels. But then what was the point of getting solar panels if I'm paying the same amount as before? So I don't know if it's an issue with you guys or not.

They came out, installed in the roof, they came back and installed the panels and the inverter in one day. They came back and installed the meter on the separate day, they commission everything on the separate day, very good.
