Spartan Solar prides itself on being a one-stop-solar shop for homeowners in 11 states. Getting started with Spartan Solar is easy; the company offers free consultations and pairs you with a solar specialist that will help determine if this company is a good fit for you. If yes, you'll work with a design specialist to finalize your solar system and start the permitting process. Once all the paperwork is complete, a team will install and activate your system.

The Good

  • Payment Plan Options
  • Partner Company

Payment Plan Options

Spartan Solar offers four ways for clients to pay for their new solar system. Clients can pay upfront with cash, finance, lease, or with a power purchase agreement (PPA). Many solar companies offer only one or two ways to pay for a brand-new system — generally through cash or financing. 

We appreciate Spartan Solar's leasing and PPA options as it allows homeowners to choose something that best fits their situation. 

Partner Company

Spartan Solar is partnered with Enphase to offer homeowners the Encharge system in case a power outage happens. 

Enphase's Encharge system collects excess energy generated by the solar panels throughout the day. The storage system automatically switches to use the stored energy if the power goes out. 

Enphase's backup batteries are known to be extremely reliable and come with a fantastic warranty.

The Bad

  • Does Not Disclose Panel Manufacturers

Does Not Disclose Panel Manufacturers

Spartan Solar's website does not state which panel brands and models it uses. This is likely due to the company sourcing its panels from different manufacturers, which is not necessarily bad, just something to be aware of. 

Knowing the manufacturer of your solar panels is for more than just solar heads. In fact, knowing that brand and model of the panels give you a better idea of price, energy efficiency, and expected warranty and lifespan. This should be discussed during that initial consultation, and do your research to make sure you get the best deal.

The Bottom Line

Spartan Solar is an excellent option for homeowners who want to take a backseat throughout the solar process. After the initial consultation, clients will work with the same project manager throughout the permitting, installation, and activation phases. This can result in fewer communication and scheduling errors.

Additionally, Spartan Solar is a great option for homeowners wanting to lease or arrange a PPA.

Isaiah Alvarez

My experience working at Spartn Solar left much to be desired. While the company touts itself as having good morals, I found a different reality behind the scenes. The work environment had a somewhat cult-like atmosphere where dissenting opinions were discouraged. Unfortunately, I also encountered instances of dishonesty among some employees, which was disappointing. Transparency and integrity should be at the core of any organization, but it seemed that these values were not consistently upheld. Overall, my time at Spartn Solar was marked by a discrepancy between the company's outward image and the actual workplace culture. It's essential for any company to live up to the values it promotes, and in my experience, Spartn Solar fell short in this regard.
