Removal and Roof Work
Once a solar project is completed and the final inspection has been done, a majority of clients will never hear from their installation provider again.

The Bad
- Limited Service Area
- Undisclosed Warranty Specifics
- Unspecified Financing Details
Limited Service Area
Many solar installation companies are locally owned and operated entities. As a result, service areas of these companies are usually limited to one state or a select few cities or counties. The same applies for Elysium Solar Management Group. The company strictly offers its services to residential and commercial property owners in the state of New Jersey.
Undisclosed Warranty Specifics
Solar systems are an investment, and most solar companies offer warranties to clients to protect those investments. The most common warranties made available to solar clients include both equipment and workmanship protections.
Equipment warranties are generally provided by the manufacturer and last an average of 25 years. Workmanship warranties are then offered and backed by the actual installer and usually cover 10 years of issues stemming from installation. Elysium Solar Management Group has failed to provide information on these warranties or offer insights as to whether these are even available to its clients.
Unspecified Financing Details
Financing is a standard offering within the solar industry. Most clients are unable to purchase a system outright and upfront so a number of financing services are generally made available. Elysium Solar Management Group claims to offer a loan financing option but states clients will not have to pay for the system or make monthly payments.
The company does not go into further detail as to how this arrangement is economically possible or what is required of clients utilizing this special financing program. Most solar companies provide specific financing details so clients know what to expect when using a solar payment program.
The Bottom Line
Elysium Solar Management Group is a one-stop shop for solar project management. From initial analysis to final inspection, Elysium Solar Management Group handles it all in house. The company has a long standing reputation with solar manufacturers and has partnered with a number of tier-1 equipment providers. Additionally, Elysium Solar Management Group provides solar system removal and replacement work as well as some roofing services.
While there are a number of reasons a prospective solar client may want to utilize Elysium Solar Management Group for installation services, there are limitations to the operation as well. The company only services clients within the state of New Jersey so anyone outside state lines will have to look elsewhere for help. Elysium Solar Management Group has also chosen not to disclose warranty specifics or financing details which are key pieces of information for undecided customers.
Property owners in New Jersey looking for comprehensive solar project management and installation work would likely benefit from what Elysium Solar Management Group offers. Those looking for solar brokering services will want to take their business elsewhere.
