Pink Energy, formerly POWERHOME Solar, is out of business.
Due to customer dissatisfaction resulting from faulty Generac solar equipment, Pink Energy has closed its doors permanently.
Pink Energy is one of the fastest-growing solar companies in the United States. It is headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina, and specializes in solar energy and roofing services.
The company was founded in 2006 as Rescomm. In 2014, the company rebranded and became Pink Energy and Roofing.
In 2020, Pink Energy was ranked number 255 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America. Pink Energy also boasts that it was ranked seventh nationally among residential solar installers by Solar Power World — making it the number one residential solar company in the Southeast and Midwest.
Pink Energy doesn't provide any exact pricing information on its website. This is completely expected within the industry as the cost of each solar system will vary from property to property.
Pink Energy explains that solar panel prices depend on your current energy consumption, the direction your home faces, the amount of sunlight your roof receives, and more.
However, we applaud Pink Energy for including all the components that will affect your solar system's final price.
The company states that you will be given an all-inclusive price for your system and the final price will be based on the following factors:
For many homeowners, trying to figure out the total cost of their new solar system can be like pulling teeth. We appreciate Pink Energy's transparency and providing consumers with at least some general information on exactly what will affect the total cost.
Pink Energy offers $0 down, 100 percent financing to qualified homeowners.
The website doesn't exactly say the qualifications, so you will need to contact the third-party lender directly for complete details.
Additionally, the company occasionally runs promotions offering savings to customers. As of this profile update, Pink Energy offers a rebate for 12 months of free solar for new customers based on the system you choose, customer usage, and your monthly loan. The actual rebate value varies depending on the customer.
The company's most popular package includes a solar panel system with solar panels and backup battery power in case of a power outage. When you purchase this package, you also get the following energy-saving upgrades with your purchase:
Pink Energy boasts that it has some of the highest-quality solar panels that come with superior reliability and performance. Because the company fully believes that its solar panels are superior, all panels come with a 30-year linear power performance guarantee and a 25-year product workmanship guarantee.
Additionally, the panels that Pink Energy uses guarantee that your panels will operate at 80 percent of their original capacity after 30 years.
Pink Energy also offers a 12-year warranty on solar inverters (don't worry, you can purchase an additional 13 years of coverage to match your solar system's 25-year warranty).
Pink Energy doesn't hire subcontractors. Instead, the company's team consists of fully licensed electricians, with unlimited general contractors license and unlimited electrical contractors license.
Pink Energy is also a GAF Master Elite roofer. In addition, the company has multiple employees who have completed either OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 training, and the project engineer/design manager is NABCEP-certified.
Homeowners looking to get a solar lease or PPA for their new system will have to look elsewhere.
While a solar lease or PPA can be a great solution for many homeowners, Pink Energy has several reasons for not offering these financing solutions.
The first and foremost reason Pink Energy doesn't provide solar leases is that it believes that everyone should own their power. When leasing, a third party essentially owns your solar system.
While there are some positives to a lease (the fact that you can get a solar system for little or no money down, you avoid the responsibility of repairs and maintenance, etc.), there are also a few negatives — the main one being that you lose control of your roof.
As leasing companies aim to maximize their profit, you could end up with a lot more panels than you wanted, the panels will be placed where the company wants, and you have to worry about selling the lease to another person should you move before the lease is up.
The second reason Pink Energy doesn't offer solar leases is, so you (the homeowner) get the maximum return on your investment.
Pink Energy is only available in 15 of the 50 states.
The company is still young and growing, so it may be available to residents of other states soon, but there is no timeframe for when service areas will expand.
If you've been thinking about renewable energy and reducing your carbon footprint, we recommend looking into a company like Pink Energy. The company specializes in solar systems and has even received a few awards praising its customer service and business model.
With this solar company, you only have two financing options to choose from (buy or loan), but the company gives a clear explanation of why that is.
In addition, we admire Pink Energy's transparency when it comes to pricing. Although the company doesn't give any exact pricing information (since every system will vary depending on the house, location, panel placement, and more), we appreciate the fact that Pink Energy goes into some detail about what will be included in the final cost — giving you an idea of what to expect.
