Excellent communication between the customer (me) and the company. Ion Solar took care of arranging all the inspections. The installers were excellent and knew what they were doing. All the equipment is top quality.

No complaints, installation all went well. Had slow upstart tho. Was due to power company on their part after all was installed. Vision was very helpful with any questions. Well pleased.

ION is an exceptional company! We had the best experience from their Appointment Setter Cameron, Energy Consultant Kane, Operations Manager Johnathan and Project Coordinator Sam. These guys were exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. We are so proud to be part of the ION Solar family located in the Houston TX area!

I think the system is good, but I believe I might have paid more for this service than some of my peers with the same total service, installation service was extremely slow, but credit to ION they kept me update every step of the way, but I did end up paying for solar and my original energy company for two months, but fixed now (could be due to staffing shortage we are experiencing currently, circa 2021/2022). Overall process was really easy, coordinator reaches out and handled everything with dates you provided. ** One big red eye is that you wait so long your start thinking about cancelling as you go through all four seasons and realize that there are times where the solar will actually charge you double than what your paying during the colder months on your standard energy bill, but this can be cancelled out if you take advantage of going through process of doing "SREC" which you can sell back any energy produced but not used and get money back each month... This can be a big bonus. Do your research and make it make sense. We are no happy or sad about it, just "Meh" for now, we shall see as Solar normally makes it's money during the hotter months, not trying to bash ION in no way, just a honest review. Hope this helps and have a great day.

Our experience with ION Solar has been professional from the beginning. The original presentation was clear and the installation went as planned. Our inspections passed and as soon as our meter was switched out, our panels were producing. Communication has been perfect. We have been pleased with every step in the process.

Clear, concise explanation of the program, including costs, timeframe for installation and f/u process. Excellent experience from introduction to turn on of panels. All personnel involved in explanations, installation, concerns and/or questions were personable, patient, caring and knowledgeable.

I hated my experience with Ion. I don't recommend their services. I wish I could provide negative stars. I was promised Benefits that will not occur and despite the representatives that I spoke with. My grievances were dismissed, and Ion made no effort to make things right. I was the guinea pig for my cul-de-sac, because a few of my neighbors want to go solar. I will not recommend Ion. I understand mistakes happen, but no one tried to make it right. If that was an example of the service I will receive in the future, I'm not looking forward it.

ROBERT MARSHALL Orem, UT

The solar panels look nice. It took 8 months longer than you said it would take. You improperly installed electrical breakers, leading me to lose power to most my house. You couldn't pass city inspection for 6 months after you said they were installed. I was double charged for 4 months on the cost of my power. You still haven't paid me back for the 4 months of being double charged. You didn't send me the $500 rebate you promised for my power box not needing to be upgraded.

Patricia Austin, TX

Company not very good after the sale. I am still paying almost $200 on my electricity bill. I called my electric company and they showed me where the panels were producing a good amount of energy at the beginning but then the panels started under performing after 6 months. I contacted ION Solar and explained to them about the panels under performing to see if someone could come out and inspect the panels. I was told someone would get in touch with me. I waited for 2 weeks and no one reached out to me. I called a second time and told them this was the second time I was calling and explained to them again what the issue was with the panels and once again I was told again that someone would reach out to me. A couple of days later I received an email with charts and graphs explaining the way the panels produce energy. But still no one to physically come out and inspect the panels to see if they were connected correctly or damaged! This was in 2022. We are now 2023 and still no action from ION Solar. I am still paying up to $200 a month for electricity plus the regular payment for the panels! I would not recommend this company for this reason

I was dealing with ION and thought things were going well. We had passed all the inspections and were set to install. Everyone showed up on install-day and everyone was busy in their own little area when it was announced that the roof had to be replaced (after it had just passed its inspection). I said, "That sounds like fraud and I am done>" They all picked up their things and left, thinking that they would probably be back. In the meantime the A/C had gotten disconnected. Come to find out they were also overpriced. I have tried now for over a year to get them back here just to reconnect the A/C but to no avail. I still have salesmen come to the door and when they hear my story they are aghast and know someone who can help. Have had a couple of phone calls but NO ONE has stepped foot on the property to even try to fix the problem. I am a rather easy going guy it has also taken over a year for me to write this review. The bottom line is I would not have them ever touch my home or property again. I would NOT recommend them to anyone except to AVOID like the plague.

So disappointed and ready to share it with EVERYONE. Of course the salesman, Chris, was charming and made us feel like your company was #1 but as the process continued it seem like things just kept going downhill. The latest is I literally emailed everyone I ever sealed with at ION because I was not getting g a return Email or call back from my sales man or his supervisor. My solar was turned on 2 months ago and my last electric bill was higher than the previous one. I asked if someone could get back with us and show us how to properly read the ION App and help us figure out what we are looking at - to no avail. If this does not get handled this coming month I promise I will speaking to many more people. Terrible FOLLOW UP with ION 👎🏻

ED Westminster, CO

Quite possibly the worst company I’ve ever worked with as far as communicating and keeping a project on schedule. As someone who works in utility-scale solar, I fully understand the processes involved, utility requirements, and hoops to jump through that cause delays, but my goodness, Ion really took things to a whole new level of terrible. There were constantly changing “project managers” who failed to communicate and clearly had no clue what was going on, installation crews that changed each time they visited our house, and generally speaking, Ion was just hard to work with. They don’t even provide direct contact info for the project managers, just a stupid general phone number to call. Will never recommend them to anyone looking to install solar.

I love having the panels. I feel I'm doing a good thing for our planet. That is a good feeling. Maybe I don't have enough panels because I am still getting an electric bill and paying for the panels.

We started this process almost a year ago. We are still waiting for it to be finalized so we can start using it. We were also told we would not have to pay anything until everything was hooked up but now we are paying for something we are not using. Not very happy at all!

Sylvia Parker, CO

I would not recommend ION Solar. The process takes a long time, understandably not all ION’s fault, but due to an error in our address on paperwork AFTER the panels were already installed delayed the process significantly. The customer service in the final stages was so poor that we had to continue following up to see what part of the process we were in after installation and when they would be turned on. No communication after the panels were installed. Installation was completed in December 2022 and our panels were finally turned on in February 2023. We randomly got an email in February providing us with step by step instructions on how to turn on the system OURSELVES and went outside to see that everything was already on! But we were not entirely sure as we are not the professionals? No follow through from their end to actually turn on the system with us and walk us through setting up the app and show us how to work everything. My husband figured out the app on his own and we have had one panel not working and no one still has cared to stop by to fix the issue or let us know things are working properly or thank us for being a customer. They said they were sorry but they have been so busy! Busy, walking door to door to get those numbers or meet their quotas, too busy to go back to those homes and make sure the customers they already sold to were satisfied customers. On another note, they are lying when they tell you, you will get $9000 back in your tax refund. This is not something they should be telling people because it’s not the case for everyone. This should not be the selling point to get customers. If they can stop by my house and sell me a product, they should be able to return to my house in person to make sure we are even happy, but now we are stuck. In the options for submitting this review the longest option is 1-2 months from the time the contract is signed to the time the system was FULLY installed. We signed our contract in June 2022 and our system was turned on in February 2023 totaling 8 months!

We were very disappointed to not have solar panels. We had a great offer and signed up. We were told we could wrap the roof as part of the contract with the low, low rate, so that was grand. ION provided us with a bid, and we had our own roofer provide a bid. After we decided on our roofer, ION kept sending us the 2nd contract to sign, with their roofer even though I told them repeatedly we would use our roofer and that the first contract was the one we had signed and still wanted. At that point, communicating with ION became difficult. Phone calls, texts, emails -- none were replied to. In the end, finally, I asked point blank whether their original contract was invalidated and for whatever reason, it was. Further research showed that it is illegal to wrap a roof replacement into a solar panel contract, so we could not legally have gotten the rebate on the whole package as we were assured.

Liked how they educated me on the benefits of solar. Strongly disliked the pushy sales tactics. Sales was not based on customer needs and focused on the amount total sales, which is of ZERO value to me. Also focused heavily on speaking negatively about competitors. Canceled contract and went with other company that offered better and bigger system, with better finance options. I did appreciate the hassle free cancelation of my contract.

This process began in September of 2022 and was not completed until March of 2023 due to delays on both my utility company's side as well as Ion's. I understand Ion is at the mercy of utility companies for some of these delays. Regardless, the communication I received from Ion was poor to put it nicely. For most of the last 6 months, I did not have a dedicated account rep and by the time I got one at the end of February 2023, even she was surprised to hear all the troubles I'd been through. In addition, this was an add on system to an already functioning system I had on my roof. Upon installation of the new panels, my original panels that were already in production were turned off with no explanation as to why. Upon receiving an account rep in February, she was also surprised to hear this and confirmed they shouldn't have been turned off. She gave the OK to turn the system back on, which I did, and which I found another issue - the original system was malfunctioning. An electrician was then called out to correct the original system and did so. Just last weekend, I got clearance to put both systems into production, but this is 3 months after I've paid for full energy usage. I was told there was a possibility to have the amount paid to the utility company removed from the system cost, but once my system was deemed "complete," I have been ghosted by the account rep.

I signed my contract with Ion Solar in September 2020. I have requested a hard copy of the sales contract ... "it takes too much paper" They submitted an Email contract. I should have checed them out with the BBB. Mia culpa!) We are now in the middle of March 2032 and they have not completed the installation, in part due a hang up created by the Denver City and County and County! Ion employees reaponsible for the installaton do not answerg their phone so I am UNABLE ot reach them!!!! I would not recommed this company to my worst enemys. If they on you approuch you LOCK the door or RUN!

I sent in for my rebate, and i never got it. Also, the contract signed was not fulfilled as agreed upon. Nobody ever got back to me, and when i had a problem with the system nobody still. Then 2 salespeople came by to sell me an ion solar system, so i told them about the problems. Still no support. Everyone i know gets told this story. I hope it puts them out of business. I dont know why anyone would use this worthless turd company.

I’m a resident of the town of Dumfries and last year I had solar panels installed. At first I was thrilled to have them, it was something that I knew that it could help. There was a lot of miscommunication with the people when they came to install it, the worst thing was that after three months of the installation my “enphase”panel fell off, it was hanging after their installation. I tried to communicate with them so they could fix it, for months I contacted them repeatedly and there was no response. And apart from that after the installation team finished nobody took the time to show me or give me a walkthrough of the installation. I think that I have invested a-lot of money almost $43,000 and adding to that I am still paying bills to the utilities company. So for those who are thinking of getting an installation from here I want you to look for better options because “ION solar” is not a good one at one point I started to think that I got scammed by these people, so please think before you get panels installed from them.
