Thomas Littleton, CO

I signed up to get solar 7 months ago and I currently have 90% of the system installed. They are scheduled to come out next month to replace panels that should have never been installed, and to get the county inspections out of the way. Apparently after that Xcel still needs to do a final inspection prior to turning it on. The Costumer service has been less than ideal with multiple calls out and waiting days/weeks for replies at times. When they do reply they seem helpful and nice but until the system is actually put online and functioning I’m going with, I’m pretty unsatisfied with the current situation and the service I’ve received.

My problem with Ion was the installation of the panels was rushed and given priority without consideration of the condition of my existing roof. I would recommend your sales staff to advise customers with older roofs to have their roof inspected prior to the panel installation. My roof failed inspection by my insurance company. I needed a new roof installed after the panels were installed by Ion. So I had to pay the cost to remove the panels and reinstall them after the new roof was completed.

The product is working well. However the install and sales team is extremely poor. The sales team and support after install is rude and not knowledgeable. Had to spend lots of time with escalation and understanding how the rebate and pricing would work. Did not get the window between standard power bill and solar start so had to fight for support there. Eventually I found some solid support and the system is working as expected so hence my 3 stars instead of one.

I haven't noticed a great deal of savings with the panels, and I was told it would be a great savings. I barely notice any especially with the monthly payment on the loan. I think it would have been better to actually have a realistic quote of what it would save before having to sign their contract and get them installed. It also took them 5 months to install my panels and it was always because they were waiting on Xcel, but it seemed they could have moved it along quicker.

We signed the financing company agreement in Sept. 2022 and now it is Feb 8, 2023 and the system has not been inspected or turned on. The company indicated the install was completed in Dec. It is on the roof but I believe it is not installed until it is successfully inspected and connected to our electric supplier. At this point, it is just on our roof.

Fairly on top of things getting installed, almost maybe a little too aggressive. now that we have the system installed we have been trying to get the final inspector out to turn the system on and they have cancelled on us multiple times. The one day they dont cancel there was no notice or call ahead of time to ensure we were ready and of course we missed them so we are still sitting here with everything installed for almost two months and just an expensive roof decoration.

Kept me very well informed of the status prior to installation. But once installed and operational, service drops substantially. I have tried 2 times to call customer service over the past 6 months. Left messages with a live attendant, but in both cases, no calls were returned.

We're about a year on from beginning to get the panels, so this is a follow-up from our initial review on BestCompany for ION. It took most of last year to get the panels installed. There were a lot of problems getting to the point of installation, and miscommunications between ION's local and corporate offices left us in the lurch and out an extra $5k. We are happy with the panels and they've definitely helped with the power bill even in these few months, but we never did get a satisfactory resolution to the problems we encountered. The panels and solar equipment has been great, but ION's part in the process has not been.

I recently had a 7 kw system installed. The product so far is working great and the installation team was very professional. The ION group did a great job of walking us through the process. My only issue is my own fault. They WAY overcharged for the system. Be warned, their bid is going to be insanely expensive. Many of my friends and neighbors have asked about they system and I tell them all the same thing: Great system, glad I put in a solar system, but use another company that will offer it at a more honest price. They made more than enough off of me.

Overall we are pleased with our solar panels through Ion Solar. There were a few bumps in the road and installation was slower than we had hoped, partly due to issues getting pieces and parts and partly due to an error on Ion's part. They did make the mistake right and in the end we are pleased with our install.

Product is nice looking. All I can say is find out your local codes before the install. It will save you a headache. The engineers they send out do not know code the installers do not know code. You wont know your not in code till the final inspection. Our experience was very frustrating. As for our sales rep (Brandon L) once he got the sale no more contact, tried to call several times no call back even had referrals just needed a couple business cards. That went out the window. Had a few good moments threw it, so that's why the three stars.

Stephen Miller Midlothian, VA

Well, I was really looking forward to having solar and doing the Green thing but if I had to do this again for some crazy reason at another location, Ion would not get my business. The sales side for me was great and I believe that was mostly because we wanted solar and just needed to get started with the process. From what i’ve read in the neighborhood posts, lots of my neighbors weren’t happy with the pushiness of the people coming to their homes trying to get them to the next part of the sales process but we were on board as soon as they said solar so they didnt have to be pushy with us. After that dealing with the sales rep was great and we couldn’t wait to be on solar energy. Once we signed the papers we were turned over to the install side and things couldn’t have been any worse! It was a disaster from pretty much the first time someone came to do the site survey on to the “FIRST” install of the panels. The calculations were off for how many panels could go in the agreed upon location, so the first crew lead led us to believe he could switch it on the fly and it would look good. Well he was incorrect. It was hideous and even some neighbors were commenting to us about it. It just didn’t flow at all. So that had to be redone and the second crew was a night and day improvement and got it straight. And even after that there were other small issues just from lack of attention to detail, and honestly not the right leadership on the install team. Finally it was time for county inspection and what do you know it did NOT pass because the screw used to secure the conduit to the siding was the incorrect kind and the inspector had a feeling it was gonna be because he had done another Ion inspection and failed it for the same thing. So even after the first time the issue for the correct screws wasn’t addressed. Another simple mistake that could have been avoided the second time around. Once finally turned on, of course i had a faulty inverter (which I understand parts that are mass produced can have a faulty one here or there but just my luck after all this) so they come out to replace that and said it would take a day or two tops for it to be working well that wasn’t the case either. So after 2 weeks of scheduling and rescheduling due to weather they finally came back out to replace the recently replaced inverter and I was told that the one that was just replaced just never had the old serial numbers removed and the new serial numbers entered to have the panel operating and reporting like it should. Once again another mistake made that could have been avoided. And for the several weeks that we were down a panel no one offered to compensate us for that either. All this said I’m glad its finally working like it should (KNOCK ON WOOD) but I wouldn’t recommend this company unless they make major overhauls in management and have some more positive reviews moving forward. Lots of people tried to oversee my account once I made it known that this wasn’t acceptable but it just didn’t seem like the main focus was to fix things asap. I don’t think with all that was going on and what had happened that I should have had to wait as long as I did for appointments. With all these mistakes, I should have been top priority until this is resolved and not taking on more jobs to potentially not complete them effectively. I wish the company luck and I think they should feel fortunate that we really wanted solar and were patient because not many families would have put up with the incompetence that we did.

We were told the payments for the solar system would replace our power bills. Instead, we are now paying both solar loan AND power bill with an $90/month average to the power company. When we contacted the Ion customer service we were asked to send our power bills, which we did, only to be told that “everything looked normal” and that it was the “overage”. The bottom line is that it is costing us more now than it did when we were using regular power. Getting these panels was a huge mistake , we were deceived, and I will never recommend this company to anyone. Moreover the install itself took longer than promised and we started paying the loan before it was functional.

I am paying more in electric bill now, with paying for solar panels, and my electric bill to DOMINION POWER HAS NOT CHANGED. I CALLED!! I CALLED, I e-mailed and no one returned my call, even though the operator said some one will. I have read that customer service is a no go after they get YOUR MONEY. will I am still CONNECTED TO THAT MONEY.

Installation as promised: on time and with quality installers. Production not as promised. Today is our 1-year anniversary. Y1 prediction was 13608 kW-h. Y1 production was 11950 kW-h, which is -12% from the predicted amount. Other companies we considered going with used things like NREL LIDAR evaluations of our property. I believe ION uses nothing less than an online estimator. Buyer beware.

Reta Ackerman Sandy, UT

We are happy to have solar, but we didn't have a great experience. The sales guy left out a few crucial details about the loan and how solar works: 1) how the loan payment nearly doubles at 17 months unless you apply a tax credit, and even then, it's still higher 2) how we still pay the power company to stay connected to their grid 3) how we have to add solar to our homeowners insurance, which increased our payment slightly. So we kept finding them out later and feeling deceived and like all these extra things made it not the dream deal it sounded like - not a good thing for financial planning! I also didn't like how our sales guy had us create an "account" before we were sure we were going with it, which actually meant signing a contract, so we ended up feeling trapped in something we weren't even sure we wanted. We had 3 days to cancel, and then there was supposed to be a fee for cancelling after. The sales guy said we would NOT have to pay that, but I didn't trust him by then, especially when my name was signed on the contract saying we would have a fee. Then there was some "issue" that was never explained to us, so it took 2 months after the city inspection to even get our panels turned on. Again not great when we are paying both for our solar loan and our power bill. I would suggest shopping around when getting solar, not just getting roped into it by a sales pitch.
