Free Installations Available

With Direct Energy Solar, you can switch to clean energy for $0 down by choosing a lease or a loan. These no-money-down options are great because they eliminate the hassle of having to come up with a down payment before the installation can take place.

Direct Energy Solar also gives you the option to purchase a solar panel system outright, which is a good option if you have the resources to do so because it will end up saving you the most money on energy costs in the long run. Plus, when you own your solar panels, you'll be able to take advantage of the 30 percent federal tax credit, as well as any state renewable energy incentives available in your area.

Production Guarantees

Several Direct Energy Solar reviews praise the solar power company for its transparency in regards to guarantees and warranties.

When you make the switch to clean energy with Direct Energy Solar, you'll receive a system electricity production guarantee for 10 years. If your system is not producing as much electricity as it should, Direct Energy Solar will compensate you for the shortage.

Workmanship Warranty

Your system will also come with a 10-year warranty (there is also a 20-year option if you want to pay more) that covers you in the event that there are defects in the installation hardware, materials, and components of your system.

Each solar panel will also come with a 25-year warranty from the manufacturer, which is industry standard.

Limited State Availability

There is a chance that Direct Energy Solar does not service your state. Its website shows the company servicing only California and states on the northeast coast of the U.S.

If you don't live in one of these areas, you won't have the opportunity to do business with Direct Energy Solar and will need to consider other solar companies.

Customer Complaints

Some common customer complaints filed against Direct Energy Solar stem from delays and lack of communication throughout the solar project. Several customers have accused this solar installer of moving quickly at the beginning of the process and then failing to communicate and drive the solar PV installation process to completion.
