Quality Solar Panels

The solar company offers homeowners high-quality solar panels designed to provide optimum energy output while also saving on the utility bill.

The Bad

  • No Leases or PPAs
  • Limited Availability

No Leases or PPAs 

Unfortunately, Horizon does not offer leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which are attractive payment options for consumers who can't or don't want to take on the responsibility of the full investment but would still like to use cleaner energy. 

Limited Availability

While targeted availability can also be seen as a strength, it does limit the geographic window of prospective customers.

Horizon PWR is available in the following Idaho cities:

  • Blackfoot
  • Boise
  • Caldwell
  • Eagle
  • Idaho Falls
  • Meridian
  • Nampa
  • Pocatello
  • Rexburg
  • Rigby
  • Sun Valley
  • Twin Falls

The company is also represented in the following Oregon cities:

  • Bend

The Bottom Line

If Oregon or Idaho homeowners are looking for a local solar rooftop installer, Horizon PWR may be a good choice. The company uses top-of-the-line solar equipment backed by solid warranties and provides a free solar analysis to help homeowners see if their home is a good fit for solar.

Readers are encouraged to read the latest Horizon PWR reviews from actual customers to get a complete sense of how the solar energy company does business.

It was actually a lot faster than what they said it was going to be. They had told us it was gonna be like a couple of months and it actually ended up only being very short like two or three weeks time. Horizon doesn't install it themselves they have a different company that came in and did it and our rep came to meet them and made sure that they knew everything that was supposed to happen and they actually did it a lot faster than I thought that they would and I went out and had them explain everything to me as far as power outages or what I need to know and they sat with me and told me everything and answered all the questions that I had. They're just great.

The service people in their customer service department that they used was very crappy. The installation process for the solar panels was terrible, mainly the contractors that they used. Even an inspector did not like them because they were basically covering certain things. They didn't bury the cables twenty four inches and had to come out and all they did was put extra dirt up on the side of the home. We had to have an electrician from all the way down from Idaho to actually fix the issue before we could even get it started. And that was implemented by Caden and he was amazing. The office here in Klamath falls is very terrible, there's no communication. Mario who's in charge doesn't call you back, doesn't answer his phone one. The office personnel answers the phone to get the information across, but I can't tell you how many times I've called the local office here and tried to talk to somebody and nobody knows what's going on. Like you talk to one person and you think that okay this is good to go I've got an appointment for something and then that person didn't translate the rest of the information to somebody else and nobody knows what's going on. It was almost like they had to hire me to go down there and do it logistics and deductive reasoning for them. Now as value of my money, Stanley financial they are amazing. It's a trust account, the interest is very low, they were able to finance the whole Enchalada and that was amazing. And then Caden again walked us through the whole process. Basically held our hands and walked us through everything and that part is amazing in fact. I get excited to pay the bill believe it or not.

They were very honest with us and very straightforward. I'm very happy with it, it is very high quality. We did a what I felt was probably the most that I would have wanted to pay for it. We've certainly had no problem with our system and definitely had enough power generated to support our household and been very happy with the product. We started with discussing what our power needs were and then the sales person put together a diagram showing how many panels we needed, where would be the best placement for them, what kind of generation we could expect on the high end of the scale as well as on the low end of the scale and horizon took care of all of the scheduling, all of the installation connections, all of the inspections, anything like that. We didn't have to worry about anything, they just took care of it all from the start. We didn't get very much follow up, but when I did give them a call with some questions and concerns they were very quick to respond to them they resolved then answered all the questions that I would have.

I haven't had any techs or anything come out here since I put mine on and I've had mine in about two years and so I'm a hundred percent happy with this. I wish I had it done it sooner. There were 4 young guys putting it up, and I'm 65 so I just stood back and watched them and they were real personable. Had good personalities they cleaned up before and after all their installation and they were just great. Can't say anything better than what I'm saying, they're great. I think it's a good value for its money. They were honest with me all the way through.

We we have found out with our solar is the power we use during the day comes directly off of that days used so people need to be aware of that if they're watching their power usage because it looks like you're not getting as much power as you're producing. It was very fast, they told me it was gonna be two weeks and they had it done in 4 days, like super super fast.

I'm glad I have it, my house is all electric. I'm very pleased with Horizon. It is absolutely quiet, there's no disturbing the roof on my house, it's just like magic.They installed it so quickly, I didn't even know they were here. I think I was gone that afternoon and it was finished in a matter of hours. I'm very pleased with my power bill coming way down of course.

We actually have some issues with our system, but horizon was very accommodating and helpful with everything that came up they immediately like jumped on to fix it. Whenever we need something we could contact them. They call us back to help and its just super easy. There were issues that did come up with the original installers, something they I don't understand, but they came in and they replaced it, so if there was an equipment issue they replaced it no questions asked. I do believe it's worth it, we experienced months without any power bill which is our whole goal.

They seem pretty honest. I think January I did end up paying a little bit. The whole idea was that power was planned to cover all the winter months too, but it was a very small amount, so it's no big deal. It was quick. Didn't last very long and the longest process is just waiting for horizon power to activate. They always answer questions and I never had a problem getting a hold of them.They were very up front about everything

We've had no issues whatsoever. In the end it will pay for itself and as of now we have not had a power bill. It's been really nice because from what I can gather it will be more more valuable as we go along. We really enjoyed them. We had ours installed on the ground and it works great, we've not had to go out and remove snow or anything so it's been wonderful. The man showed up to install very quickly and they went to work. It was quiet and efficient and they were done in two days.

Every time that I needed to talk to somebody I have Mario on the speed dial and he was awesome. Every single time that I call he was right there and answered my questions so every everything about it was a a good experience. I didn't really quite understand about the billing when I first got it that there was a charge for the power company and that was fine. I understand the five dollars a month thing and so and my bill has definitely gone down, but I think I will probably learn more as we go.

If have any trouble like with a few minor details they worked on it and it has worked out okay. The equipment seems to be okay, only I have one panel that seems to not really be producing real good. From a distance it looks different than the other panels. And I asked the guy about it and showed him the picture and he was just gonna check, but he never got to back at me whether that is a problem with the panel or whether that's just the way it is. Service has been good. I have had no power bill since this started, so that's good too.

Woohoo! Ditching the power bill is a great feeling. Douglas, it looks like you still need help with that panel. Can you call the office at (888) 468-7180? We'll make sure it's taken care of it's underproducing.

The value is good. The cost was a little bit more expensive than some of the other competitors. But the type and number of inverters the we purchased were actually exceeding our power expense so I think it's good on extra cost. Very smooth. Whenever we called and had an issue we had a technician come out within twenty four hours or they were able solve the problem over the phone. We like their business model and with the employees that we were working with that they were open as honest with a care and with the project and the time line.

They are very prompt and getting back with you and answer any questions that you have. They set up the appointment about ten days prior. They showed up when they were expected to and finished in one day and It was very quick and good. I like the way that they were able to put the panels on our house. Instead of a portrait they were able to put in the other way so it just made them look better and it was more appealing to us.

They showed up in the morning and they were done by probably noonish. Very quick and easy. We were missing a part when the system was installed and it wasn't transmitting the power company for about two months and I had emailed a couple times and they sent someone out to evaluate the system and they it was missing a part. So they got the part ordered and then came back out and installed it make sure it was working correctly.

The process was was great they did everything, they got all the all the orders and stuff to do, I really didn't have to worry about anything except for when were they going to get it up and they got it up fast. We had some problems with the box and it took a few weeks to get fixed, so we did lose a little bit bank power, but otherwise it's been great.

They have checked back with me to make sure I'm happy with what what I have and to let me know of upgrades that are available. I'm not an expert on solar equipment, but it seems to be working and doing very well. It was all pretty quick, the salesman did the inspection to make sure that the solar panels would be okay on our roof and then the materials showed up at the curb and they had it all installed in one day. They answered all of my questions and walked me through the whole process.

They are wonderful. It all went very smooth, there was just some setback with our local power company for inspections but, other than that it went very smooth. So far its working wonderful and is working exactly the way they said it would. The only negative thing is we were told about a rebate that I was not able to get and that was one of the reasons why I actually decided to put the full set of panels on my house. I think solar panels are a great addition to the home.

We redid my roof when we get the solar panels and it was a little bit complicated but it was good I think. It took a little longer than we originally planned but nothing that I'm complaining about. They were easy to work with and when we ran into a hiccups they made it right.

I decided to go with horizon power for my solar panels for my home because of their reputation. Michael the sales rep was very helpful in my decisions and answered all of my concerns. Michael is very knowledgeable on the product and explained to me clearly what the benefits would be in solar panels. I appreciate his honesty And never felt like I was being misled or coerced into something that I didn't want. I would highly recommend horizon power. And felt like Michael went above and beyond his duties by explaining everything very clearly. And I was surprised on how low the cost is for solar panels. Received a very reasonable financing with very low interest rate. I rate this company and the sales rep with five stars!!! Ken C. Twin Falls Idaho
