Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Top-Level Solar Equipment
- Flexible Financing Options
- Energy Savings
Top-Level Solar Equipment
Synergy Power uses some of the best solar panels and solar inverters in the industry to build its solar roof installations. The company sources panels from LG and REC Solar, which report some of the highest energy efficiency ratings money can buy, and solar inverters from SolarEdge and Enphase, the two leading inverter and performance monitoring manufacturers.
To supplement its solar energy system, Synergy Power gives customers the option to install backup battery and energy storage solutions from LG Chem and Sonnen.
Flexible Financing Options
Synergy Power offers several financing options, including lease, loan, and outright purchase, to help its customers go solar.
With a lease, customers can have a solar system installed for $0 down and start saving money on their monthly utility bills.
However, to take advantage of federal and state incentives, an outright purchase or loan is required. Many loan options offer 15 to 20 year terms.
Energy Savings
Solar energy systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000. However, according to Synergy Power, solar customers can save $15,000-$200,000 on utility bills over the life of the system.
Monthly payments typically range from $90-$600, depending on the system and the financing option. Overall solar savings vary from customer to customer.
The Bad
- No Service Information
- Possible Solar Installation Restrictions
No Service Information
Synergy Power does not offer specific details about its products or services on its website. There is no information in regards to warranty coverage, maintenance plans, or cleaning services.
Typically, solar energy systems come with a 25-year warranty. However, it's unclear whether or not Synergy Power offers this benefit.
There is no FAQ section on the company's website to answer common questions that a potential customer might have, which can be frustrating.
Possible Solar Installation Restrictions
There are a number of factors that could potentially restrict Synergy Power from installing solar panels on a residential home, including north-facing rooftops, immovable obstructions, and excess shading from surrounding trees.
Rules and regulations from homeowner's associations might also prevent rooftop solar installations. As an alternative, homeowners may be able to have a ground-mounted system installed.
The Bottom Line
Synergy Power offers its customers multiple financing options. However, the company's website is lacking a lot of important information and there are possible installation restrictions.
If you live in Utah, Synergy Power might be the right solar company for you. If you live elsewhere, you'll need to check out other top rated companies.
