The Good
- Assigned Project Manager
- Installation Turnaround Time
Assigned Project Manager
Homeowners are assigned a project manager. The project manager guides you through the entire process and makes sure everything is going according to plan.
While some homeowners don't feel that they need to work with a project manager, there are plenty that appreciate the extra help. When it comes to solar, many people get overwhelmed with everything there is to do. You may find yourself filling out multiple forms, needing permits and approvals before installation, electrical diagrams, etc.
Isaksen Solar's project managers take care of everything, leaving you with nothing to worry about.
Installation Turnaround Time
Isaksen Solar boasts that it can install your solar panels in just one or two days. Plus, your project manager takes care of all the details, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Many companies request a week or two to install solar panels. Unfortunately, not everyone's schedule allows for that much time. We appreciate Isaksen Solar's attempt to complete the installation in just a few days, allowing homeowners to get back to their busy lives as soon as possible.
The Bad
- Website Lacks Details
- Small Service Area
Website Lacks Details
Unfortunately, Isaksen Solar's website is not the most informative.
There is little information about the company, its process, and what consumers can expect.
It's unclear what panels or equipment Isaksen Solar uses. Additionally, there is no information on whether or not the company provides financial assistance through a loan, lease, or PPA.
Homeowners can get more information by contacting the company directly (either by filling out the online form or calling the phone number). Still, for the consumers that aren't ready to take that step, it's incredibly inconvenient that Isaksen Solar chooses not to include this information on the website.
There is a lot of generic information regarding how going solar can help you out as a home or business owner, but this isn't exactly helpful when deciding if this is the right company for you.
Small Service Area
Isaksen Solar is currently only operating in two states: Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
However, the company does not see its small service area as a bad thing. In fact, the solar company takes pride in being a smaller, local company specializing in installing solar panels in the New England area.
That said, if you're looking to go solar and live outside of Massachusetts or Rhode Island, you'll have to look at other solar companies.
The Bottom Line
If you live in Massachusetts or Rhode Island, are looking for a small, local solar company, Isaksen Solar may be a good choice. The company is young but focuses on treating its customers right and designing custom panels that fit the unique needs of every home.
The website lacks a lot of details, so consumers will need to contact Isaksen Solar directly.
