The Good

  • Flexibility with Payment Options
  • Quality of Panels
  • Workmanship Warranty
  • Upgrades

Flexibility with Payment Options

Fluent Solar helps its customers go solar in almost every way imaginable. You can buy the panels outright with cash, sign a lease or PPA, or get a loan through Fluent Solar or your local bank. 

With a lease or PPA, you'll be able to pay little to nothing down, lock in your rates, and be covered for the next 20 years. But you do not own your solar system with a lease or PPA. 

Keep in mind that some payment options will make more financial sense depending on what state you live in, but know that Fluent Solar will get you set up your solar installation with whatever option is best for you.

Quality of Panels

Fluent Solar sells and installs SunPower panels that come with a 25-year warranty. The SunPower solar panel system ranks as one of the most efficient and cost-effective installations in the solar industry, with an industry-leading efficiency rate of over 21 percent per panel.

Workmanship Warranty

To provide you with peace of mind, Fluent Solar provides a one-year leakage warranty as well as a 10-year workmanship warranty. These warranties ensure that the installation of solar panels on your roof has been completed properly and that Fluent Solar will cover you in the event of an error on the part of the solar installer or contractor.

Upgrades

Fluent will install critter guards as a solar upgrade. 

In addition to solar, Fluent Solar offers home energy upgrades including the following: 

  • Attic foam seal
  • Attic insulation
  • Solar attic fan
  • LED light bulbs
  • Google Nest thermostat

The Bad

  • Warranty Length
  • String Inverters Unavailable

Warranty Length

While Fluent does provide an adequate workmanship warranty for a solar company, there are some competitors that offer 25-year workmanship warranties. 

String Inverters Unavailable

An inverter is the part of your system that converts the solar power your panels collect into the power your home uses. 

There are two inverters that companies usually use for installations: string inverters and micro-inverters. Micro-inverters are better in areas that have more shade but are more expensive than string inverters. String inverters are efficient in very sunny areas and are cheaper than micro inverters. 

Unfortunately, Fluent Solar does not sell any string inverters which means you'll need to use micro-inverters for renewable energy, even if you live in an area that is good for string inverters.

The Bottom Line

Once I got the install done, they pretty much quit answering my calls or texts. The process was smooth, but I still have somequestions I wish I could talk to someone for answers.

Jamie McEnneny Pickerington, OH

Panels installed after about 4 months, needed main panel upgrade and staffing issues everywhere (not the company's fault). System installed but has yet to turn on. Have had service ticket in for about 2 weeks. Received an e-mail from service, but no solution, no calls. Supposed to have 13 months before paying financing, but I am 4 months in to my 13 months (according to the bank used) and I still can't use my panels. I am patient and I understand the staffing issues facing everyone right now. So I give 4 stars with the hope that these issues will be resolved. I would've waited to give a review, but I have had 5 emails asking me to rate Fluent even though my system isn't functioning yet.

The system seems to be functioning as promised. The installation was done in a timely fashion. Coordinating the installation and inspections was slow with poor communication. The wiring had to be corrected upon inspection. After all being said staff was friendly and helpful. I think they were overwhelmed with the amount of work. I believe the product sales itself so everyone was very busy.

Everything went Great from start to finish just took a long time to compete. Do not know if electric company were draging the feet or Fluent was to busy but up and running great now. Happy with the prodution . Four star because of time to get up and running.

Sales/Business presentation was good. Installation was very good. Process to execute the activation took 3+ months which I would have understood if the sales team would have told me that

The sale and processing for the solar installation was great. The actual scheduling and permit process and communication lacked throughout the process. Overall, a pretty good company.
