The Good

  • High Quality Products and Equipment
  • Excellent Warranties
  • Responsive Website and Mobile App

High Quality Products and Equipment

Green Home Systems uses high quality solar energy equipment in each of its projects. The company utilizes panels from SolarWorld and REC, which are both respected brands. Green Home Systems uses inverters from SolarEdge, which have a smart functionality and comply with UL 1741 SA.

Excellent Warranties

Green Home Systems offers some of the best warranties in the industry. The company provides its customers with a 25-year equipment warranty, which covers the panels and inverter, as well as a 25-year workmanship warranty, which covers labor. Those who go solar with Green Home Systems can be confident that they will be covered if something goes wrong with their system in the first 25 years.

Responsive Website and Mobile App

The Green Home Systems website includes a lot of helpful information, as well as a LiveChat feature that allows for live conversation with a company representative. Additionally, the company offers a mobile app so that customers can monitor their solar system from anywhere in the world. This application can be run on a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. The best part is that the app comes with Green Home Systems' standard package, so customers do not have to pay anything extra for it.

The Bad

  • Customer Criticisms

Customer Criticisms

The majority of verified Green Home Systems reviews posted to Best Company are positive; however some current and former Green Home Systems customers have criticized the solar provider in the following ways:

  • Nineteen percent of negative reviews identified project managers as the chief reason for the complaint. More specifically, these reviews focused on difficulty communicating with project managers after the contract had been signed and trouble finding local contractors or subcontractors to assist in the solar project.
  • Sixteen percent of negative reviews cited issues with the customer service and support team — they specifically regard problems connecting with a service representative in the event of an outage or when the customer wants to receive updates on the installation process.

These reviews are mainly isolated incidents, and represent a small portion of Green Home Systems's overall review profile.

The Bottom Line

With over 30 years of experience, Green Home Systems is a veteran in the solar industry. The company offers lengthy warranties, high quality equipment, and a nifty mobile monitoring app, but does not offer leases or PPAs. If you are interested in a loan or an outright purchase, Green Home Systems may be a good fit for you.

Tyler, thanks for the good review. I'm glad that we were able to work with you to get the best pricing for the finest solar energy system available. It's good to hear that your electricity bills are now down to almost zero. By having only a fixed low monthly cost for your solar system you will enjoy that fixed cost into the future rather than electric bills that increase every year.

System was installed in November 2020. July of 2023 power outage damaged my backup system. took three months for me to find a contractor to work with them. I had to guarantee payment for their service . GHS promised reimbursement, which I am still waiting on. I contacted the contractor who had installed our system. He has not had better luck in his contact with GHS. Their customer service is beyond lousy, it barely esxists. I am glad for the folks who have a good experience with GHS.

So my name is Hi, I'm your own. We live in Santa Clarita. Um Actually Green Home Solar was referred by a friend of mine that um had them do the install for him and he was very happy with it. So we had uh Barry come out and Barry was very informative. Um A lot of information, he explained the benefits, the costs, what's gonna happen, how everything's gonna happen? Um gave us some paperwork to look over and then um I had some questions the next day and I called him up and he was very helpful and um we just decided to go with them. We didn't really try anybody else. We just based on my friends, we refer and the impression we got from very, very thorough. It was actually pretty fast and straightforward once we decided to do it. Um just a few emails back and forth some docusign, easy process. Uh Chris, the project manager was really, really good, very good communication skills, um explained every stage to us. Um even when there was a, a hiccup. Yeah, a few hiccups that was mostly due to the heavy rains that we had um installation was quick once they got started a couple of days and um just very happy so far. It feels good. It feels good to know that the price of our monthly bill is not going to go up that if we need more energy, we can use it. We're usually pretty frugal, but I mean, the bills were getting crazy. So this was definitely the right move. Yes, definitely very happy.

I am a contractor that was hired to perform work by Green Home Systems. I have been owed a total of $30,000 for well over a year now. This company does not pay it's bills and continues to sell solar systems to unknowing customers throughout the US. I actually just called and got a quote last week. They are criminals and should be in prison.

Took forever to get job done, The subcontractor that came to actually do the job other contractor had sent wrong parts or missing parts. One day job took 5, miss wired so had to be redone so utility company would allow on grid, still not right but at least on grid. The subcontractor stole tools and supplies from me. Cut through LP gas line even knowing where it was. Took them 3 days to figure out the right parts to fix the gas line. I had to fix wire that slipped out of breaker, then tighten all the breakers, after they had left. GHS would not return calls, voice mails, or texts and emails. Seems only got back after reviewing in places like this and BBB. And when I went to BBB, I discovered despite their home page saying they were BBB accredited, they not only were not but had an F rating on BBB page. After I and I guess BBB called them on it, they removed it from home page. If I had known that before I would not have bought off them. I trust the BBB accreditation and their claiming to have it was a big deciding factor. Total nightmare GHS only got required paperwork for rebate from my state after Illinois Shines got involved.

M H Poplar Grove, IL

When I had my solar system installed, I interviewed a lot of companies that were installing solar systems to get estimates and the no pressure sales that some promised was not so , now Iean P from Green Solar did not pressure me in to buying there system like the others he gave me time to think about it let me get other quotes compare systems etc. I called him back and started the process. Now the reason I went with them is the panels, inventors the tie in to the grid were not the top rated but they were close. I did a lot of research before contacting solar installers, and they wanted to install subpar systems for the same amount of money. Now, my system was not cheap by any means, but it was also a big house. The only issues I had with the installation and the project being completed was the on site manager that quit or was relocated so there was a little delay in completing the install and next was the ok to flip the switch (on system) for grid tie in because the company that handles that for the power company in illinois never called us, but I contacted Iean and he made some calls and a week later we got the go ahead to turn the system on from the power company grid tie in group that is not even in this state. My overall experience was awesome. Yes, there were bumps in the road, but we worked through it, and the system did what it was designed for taking a $300/month electric bill to a $14 which has stayed the same since it was installed.... Thank you, Iean P and Green Solar

The process to purchase solar panels came easily as my electric bill almost reached $700/month at one point so I had to take action to lower my costs. The planning process wasn't always perfect as my original project manager left the company halfway through the project, however, the job was completed with a slight delay and wasn't too much of a hassle. The panels are organized well on the roof and the wiring and boxes on the outside of the house look clean. I had a new electric panel installed and that is now setup nice and neat compared to what it looked like with the old panel. Now that everything is up and running, I have seen a dramatic decrease in my electric bill and the cost has gone down to $150-250/month compared to $500-700. Extremely satisfied with this outcome and would highly recommend other homeowners to purchase them as well.

They have been helpful with problems we have had. My complaint is that I had them installed in July they did not get it correct until December of that year. Now they do say they will reimburse me for the payments that I had to make while I was not able to actually use the panels but I did not get anything for the missed credits I should have gotten during the most productive part of the year. Now that they have been up for most for the beginning of December 2023 we have not had a problem with them working. GHS has been in contact through the issues but there was about a month and a half that I did not hear from them nor did they respond to messages or calls that I made to get anything going. Once it started costing them money they did get right on taking care of the problems.

After researching different solar companies I choose Green Home and have been pleased ever since. Stanislav was very patient and helpful. He took the time to answer all of my questions and walk me through the entire process. I was please to know that Green Home handled the entire process in house with no outside people. Green Home contacted me when my original converter quit working and replaced it. They then noticed that my converter was offline earlier this year and help me get it back online so I could continue to save money. I'm a very pleased customer since 2019.

I loved working with Green Home Systems, Inc. and couldn't be happier with the end result of my solar panels, which save me a lot of money. I loved every bit of the process of purchasing the panels, from speaking with their wonderful sales representative, Itai H, to working with Otto Electric, who were the terrific installers from my area. I would recommend Green Home Systems, Inc. to anyone interested in installing solar panels on their property.

Green home system was great to deal with everything they promised they delivered and I’m the type that has a lot of questions and they answered every question for me even after I purchased them and was waiting I talk to the project manager Gustavo he would reply, even when he was in a meeting and tell me that he would get back to me and he did in a timely manner and the panels were installed working well. I have a zero electric bill for my electric company and I would highly recommend this company to anybody and everybody.

Heath Bailey

Entirety of my solar purchasing experience had its ups and downs, but all in all, it remained positive. Also, company has changed ownership/name as it was green solar when I purchased panels. Contacts that would reach out to me on occasion, or whom I could contact with inquiries seemed to change quite often. Not sure on the details, but it did appear as if there was a higher turnover with their employees. I remember someone named Angel early on, and a Michael, maybe a Michelle in there, but those were the only ones that seemed to stick around long enough that I can name. All in all, they did great up to the point of after the install, then communicating did drop off, albeit not entirely. I remember signing an awful lot of e-signatures, many of which were redundant in my opinion, but there was always progress forward. If I had a complaint or two for real, the first would be whatever contractor they hired to actually install the system. I understand it’s bidding process, and no affiliations may be in order, but being in the trades and associated with the process myself, I am a firm believer that the cheapest option is not always the way to go. I cannot name the company off-hand, but I do remember them being based in the Champaign, IL area. Although the system is installed and operational, I am less than happy with the cleanliness and quality of the install. Very little forethought and prep was put into the install, just an email or two with satellite view images. Panels mounted on ground due to no south facing roofline, but no ground prep was completed, just plop, right there with the basic angled brackets/mounts on top of the healthy grass with a single layer of landscape paper to “prevent” growth. The ground and panels aren’t even somewhat level. The inverter was mounted to the south side of my garage after some heated debate, because it was “too hard” or “too far away” for them to mount anywhere else that I suggested, and they wanted to get the job completed asap. They trenched from the panels to my garage without so much as checking to make sure anything was going to be hit in the process, then due to their time crunch (I’m assuming), actually offered me a small amount of cash back so they wouldn’t have to back-fill the trench they made. I live far from most things, so not that big a deal really, but that just screams shoddy workmanship to me. They arrived in a Tesla and a small work vehicle, but the Tesla was plugged in to my garage outlet because he didn’t plan ahead, and realized after the fact he wouldn’t have enough power to make it anywhere. Not that it cost me much, but no severance was offered for that little deal. Lastly, pvc conduit is acceptable to me, but at least take the time to measure and cut, not just bend and flex the longer pieces because your cut was too short and you’re too lazy or cheap to cut another piece. Those “glued” joints are no longer joints fyi. As I stated previously though, my displeasure was with the actual contractor. One or two other displeasures involved the SRECs and the actual sizing of the system. I originally was planning on installing an approximate 14kw system, but had to downsize to a 10kw (9.9kw) due to some apparent limitation that stated anything over that size qualified as a power generating facility and would need regular inspections from the power company…which cost more money than what I would be saving from the extra 4kw. Panels all came on a semi, which couldn’t reach my property because it got stuck, and I had to drive my truck with my largest trailer to transfer everything over from his location. Once again, poor planning. The SRECs situation may not be their fault either, but know that I was told originally that I would receive approximately 6k to 7k more than I actually did when I finally received a check…years after the install. After many phone calls (to a carbon management solutions group), I found I was apparently bumped from higher tier lists (higher tier equals higher SREC worth) because they were full up, and funding was dropping. Nothing I could do except wait as I was dropped from A to B To C, then finally D, which I believe was the one I finally was paid out on. Note that this has nothing to do with the company I purchased the panels from, but I thought it worth mentioning here for those that might be going interested. After all that criticism, I must say, the system does work, and the app I have to monitor everything is user friendly, informative, and has nice features. The panels seem to be high enough quality and are quite durable. Haven’t had a single issue other than weeds and pvc conduit coming apart. The company, although different contacts, still reaches out from time to time to check on me, which I find comforting. All in all, pleased with their actual end of things.

Thank you for your very informative review. Sometimes the utilities are difficult to handle and any of the organizations that give rebates or incentives constantly change what they offer. It is like a minefield to navigate them. I'm glad that everything has worked out and you are enjoying the savings!

Great customer service, and very well explained on how the solar panels work, Nestor was very explained in detail and provided me with the exact amount on panels for the size of my house. He also told me that I the future I can add more panels, depending on the energy needs.

If you are leaning towards solar power for your home or business, don’t wait. Call GHS and talk with someone who knows what they are talking about. State and Federal incentives make this totally affordable. And after your installation, watch your electric bills vanish. All natural. A sunny day is all you need to save a lot of money.

Green home systems are very professional and would definitely start another project with them if had the opportunity. It's early in my project and have not had the opportunity to turn my system on full time. Still waiting for my electric company to give the ok to operate. Green home systems can only operate as fast as local government and utilities can operate. Seems like we're always waiting for inspections. Other than that, good experience!

I would def recommend GHA for their professionalism and the value they give for the money. They have good customer service and are super responsive. They also have an app that gives you high-level visibility of your project at every stage. The No. 1 thing is the quality of the products they use are market leaders in solar panels. The whole process from the initial phone call to the Solar installation is super seamless and they help get all approvals and materials. Definitely recommend GHA to anyone who is looking for Solar

Green home Systems is awesome! They have great warranty and service on their systems. I have been really happy with my system since 2019. They are a one stop shop for all your solar needs. You don't have to call around they do all the heavy lifting. Since my first call back in 2019 Ian P was my sales manager and all I ever had to do was speak to him and he took care of everything from the system installation to any repairs I've needed. I've saved so much money on my electric bill over the years.

I want to thank Green home systems, and especially Anat the project manager who regularly followed up and kept me informed of every step, until the project was complete. She even made adjustments to the plan, when she saw it could be a better aesthetically layout. The installers were professional, considerate and made sure they didn't damage anything in the process of their installation. Finally, the sales person, he was thorough in his explanation and very competitive in offering me a fair price. Thanks Green Home Systems :)

The process went pretty well from the start with Robbie as the sales manager and then moved to Chris the project manager. Chris stayed on top of things like permitting and what not so the process went as planned. Our installer, Dale did an excellent job installing the panels and taking care of our yard as we had a ground mount solar system installed. I would definitely recommend Green Home Systems!

brit953 -Steve Travis-

We had been thinking about solar for some time. The power outages in Texas in 2021 convinced us it was time, both to be protected from power cuts and because the repairs and improvements to the generating and grid infrastructure were sure to drive power prices up. I did some online research and contacted Green Home Systems to get more information regarding equipment sourcing and supply as well as long term support and maintenance. I felt confident that buying from Green Home was the right decision as they were able to assure me that everything necessary to keep a system operational for 20 years had been considered and product support would continue to be available during the expected product lifetime. The sales team was able to explain the various options in terms of power production and battery backup and how they would impact cost. We worked with the design team to configure a system that would provide power for my home 24/7 during extended outages. The planning stage was the most time consuming as we had to wait for local (city, state, power company) approval of the installation. Once all the permits were in place Green Home was able to procure the equipment within a couple of weeks and a very knowledgeable installation team had the system installed and operational in one day. I'm a bit of a techie and was very interested in learning as much as possible about the nuts and bolts of the system during installation and the installers were very willing to give explanations for all my operational questions. We then had to wait for a week or so for power company and city sign off (permission to operate) before we could throw the switch and turn everything on. We have had a couple of "learning moments" when power was lost and batteries/panels did not take over as expected, but Green Home has been responsive in answering questions and explaining what has occurred and what to do next time to stop the problem occurring again. We live in a new neighborhood and there have been several outages in the last year due to the power company connecting new equipment or construction workers breaking something, apart from the first couple of times everything has worked perfectly, keeping the power on and everything working (other than having to reset clocks on the stove and microwave). We've been operational now for 9 months and the system had performed very well. During a daytime power outage the panels produce enough power to run the home and charge the batteries, if the power is out after dark the batteries provide power overnight. During normal daytime operation the panels produce enough power to run the house and export sufficient KWH's to the power company to "pay back" the power we consume from the grid at night. My monthly power bill runs $7-10 which is basically the minimum charge to power company makes to have the house connected to the grid, and our payment fo the solar installation is already less than we would be paying the power company at today's rates so overall we are now saving money as well as being protected from power loss. Our advice to anyone thinking of going solar is to have a firm set of expectations for what Solar is going to do for you, make sure your providers design team understands them, and they create a system design that will meet those goals. We couldn't be happier with our system and would definitely recommend Green Home Systems to anyone considering going solar.

Let me just say, I'm very pleased with the end product and production. We went through 5-7 different companies for bids & trying to make sense of "SOLAR". Green Home Systems was the only company I felt comfortable doing business with. Everything from the beginning was straight forward and informative. From Sales, Planning, Permitting, Financing and installation, everything went very smooth. Greg, the project manager was very responsive and kept us informed of every step we were going to go through and what to expect. The installation team was VERY thorough and made sure that everything was sealed, straight, looked and PERFORMED as it should. I felt that they performed very well to the point that I referred my sister to them. Thank you to everyone at GHS (Nestor, Greg, Peter & Jose) for doing a job well done.
