Erin Caverly

Worked with me to get the panels installed quickly prior to me leaving for a deployment. I did have a couple months every summer that I continued to have an electric bill, but once I updated my AC units to energy efficient units, I have not had an electric bill, which is awesome. Have not had any issues with my panels in these first 4 years. Very happy to have gone with Ion Solar!

I had multiple bids from several residential solar companies, and ION was the only one who was able to match my monthly system cost w my historic electricity bill. The team even went above and beyond by replacing my main service panel 2 weeks before the scheduled solar install when I experienced an electrical failure on my old panel, which saved me a ton of money. The installation of the panels was super clean, with all conduit runs I highly recommend ION.

I am thankful and exceedingly pleased! Their sales team customer service, and installation team are all fantastic! They were & are patient/no-pressure, understanding of (my) personal needs & situation, helpful at every stage, professional yet personable, and accessible. They make me feel seen & heard and I was extremely impressed with the installers' work ethics, efficiency, and timely installation! I could not be happier with the process or results!

I have opted to purchase the ION Solar System, and thanks to Jacob S and his brother McKey S, this process has been overwhelming simple and smooth. Every appointment they have been on time and I feel like they honor my time. Each question I had was answered courteously and efficiently. I am so excited for the future of this program. After choosing to move forward with this proposition, each stage has been quick and seamless with no stress. Installation has been completed and I could not be happier. This process took less than one day and their team was friendly and professional. Absolutely no mess in the yard; you can’t even tell they had been there. I am pleased with the way the panels look on the roof and I can’t wait to get them running. Thank you Jacob and McKey and ION Solar Team!!!!

I had a fantastic experience with ION Solar from start to finish. Their app made it easy to track every step of the process, so I always knew what was happening with my project. Whenever I had questions, it was a breeze to get in touch with their team — I never felt left in the dark or stuck waiting for a response. One of the best parts was how they handled all the paperwork for me, including getting permit approvals and even dealing with my HOA. That took a ton of stress off my plate. The installation itself was smooth, and the panels look great on my roof. Best of all, they’ve been performing exactly as promised. If you want a solar company that’s organized, communicative, and delivers quality work, ION Solar is a great choice.

Jereme Nemeth

I want back & fourth on the decision to go solar or not, interviewing multiple companies & sitting through their pitch. But I knew right away when Rich & his team came to see me that there was no pitch at all...just upfront honest answers to my questions & concerns. I had 31 2kw panels installed 4 years ago & have been enjoying a Dominion Bill Free life since. In the event I do receive a small bill (usually $8) it doesn't bother me because I sell my excess solar credits back which more than covers it. In 2023 some squirrels chewed up some wires to 2 panels, within weeks Ion had them back up & running, all covered under warranty... Solar might not be for everyone, but it is definitely worth the twenty minute conversation with your local rep. Cheers

I didn't like that they pressured us into a contract on the first visit, but other than that everything went very smoothly. The price was right, the system has been very effective in helping offset the cost of inflation.

ION Solar's system is great! The user interface is user friendly and provides very detailed data from real-time to historical. They also give good real-time data of the health and status of the system. It's great that there is no subscription fee and it's just part of being a ION Solar user.

Based on the feasibility study of the solar panels and the attached shading report, it appears the system would produce no worse than 1,400 kilowatt hours per panel on an annual basis. But as you can see from the other attached screenshot, this system only produced about 584 kilowatt hours in July, which should be a peak-producing month for these panels. That equates to only about 58 kilowatt hours per panel. Even under optimistic assumptions, such as the panels producing the same every month (which is not true due to winter or days with limited sunlight), the panels would only produce 700 kilowatt hours per year, which is just under half of the production estimated in the shading report. The total cost was about $13,000, and if we assume the system does produce the optimistic amount listed above at 700 kilowatt hours per year per panel, that’s 7,000 kilowatt hours per year at a rate of roughly $0.08 per panel—only about $560 per year. Before any tax incentives, that would take about 23 years to recover the initial costs of these panels. This is a very different reality than what was presented in the marketing materials, which showed a payback period of about nine years, as you can see from the attachments. After a call with Ion Solar, I was told my panels are operating near 100% efficiency. If that’s the case, it seems clear that the expected annual production of these panels is known, so it feels misleading and borderline unethical to present production figures in the marketing materials and proposals that insinuate cost savings significantly greater than what will actually occur. Hence my frustration—had I known the true output of the panels, there’s no way I would have pursued this endeavor.

The people at ION solar were very helpful through the whole process, they helped me determine the amount of energy I would need and walked me through all the steps to ensure no surprises. I know I can retire comfortably because my energy bill is less than a days lunch.

From the very beginning of the process until our solar was completed and “live” Ion Solar have been extremely attentive and communicative about each step of the way. I think the actual product looks very attractive on the roof and the electrical panels are non-intrusive and look impressive. We are looking forward to saving money with solar and investing in our future utilities.

I have had ION Solar for five years now and have realized significant savings on our power bills. When I have had any technical issues, they have sent knowledgeable people out and have fixed the issue. If there are any negatives, it's time to get folks out after you request a service call. It ranges from a week and a half to two weeks. With that being said, the equipment is very reliable and the folks on the onine and in person are very knowledgeable . I have recommended them to friends.

Fast, accurate service. The salesman was not pushy and went over all the paperwork with me, making sure I understood the terms of the installation contract. The company took care of all the necessary permits and approvals. I love the solar panels! Here in Texas, we have terrific thunderstorms often. We sometimes get hail accompanying them. I asked and was assured that the panels were hail proof.

From our initial discussion with our sales representative, David to our installation team, we had a seamless experience and are so happy with our new panels! They look amazing and our bill is going to be less for eventuality owning our own equipment than the cost of our current utility provider. I was hesitant to learn about solar energy but David explained the benefits and I ended up realizing that this is a win-win! Great customer service and fast installation. The actual installation only took about 5 hours! I would recommend anyone who has been considering solar to go for it!

Perfect execution. Everything was taken care of including; initial survey, permits, HOA permission, replacement of meter, certification with power company, etc. Installers were professional and respectful of my property. Neighbors had other companies and issues with each one. Each time I had an issue, someone was there next day to correct. Only complaint is that the necessary instrumentation was not included to monitor both consumption and production

Love the solar system! Communication was excellent throughout the whole install process and everything went very smoothly. Not the cheapest in terms of price per kilowatt but still a good overall system. My main motherboard did go bad about two years later. If an electrician was going to be sent out to troubleshoot, I would have to pay for it. I ended up troubleshooting myself, contacted the manufacturer and received a replacement part and installed it myself.

Switching to solar is a vote for the future and your wallet. Ion explained everything perfectly and followed up on all the details. There are a lot of steps to the process but it was all smooth and simple and almost nothing for us to do on our end. Now our power bill gets lower every month- $7 last month and that even includes AC! Do it now and take advantage of tax credits !

We had a very educational consultation and quickly decided it would be beneficial for us to have solar panels. ION was efficient and effective. We have had the panels for almost 5 years, we have had no major problems and any little problem they have been quick to send a technician to check it out. We began seeing savings on our electric bill within the first 6 months and we have not paid the electric company for power in years. I recommend it to everyone.

Seth Bringhurst was excellent throughout the installation, also the crew that installed the system. I am TOTALLY happy with everything.

All I can say is that the panels are 100% worth it. My power bill is consistently just the base cost (~$17). Ion did a good job with the pitch and the work was top notch. I haven't had any major issues with the panels or the install in the 3 years I've had them. My only advice for a prospective buyer is to carefully calculate your yearly energy usage for the purpose of determining how many panels you install

I hesitated to get solar due to the investment amount; however, it was totally worth it!! Every summer month, when my bill comes and it is less than $20, it continually confirms that it was a great decision! Working with Ion Solar was easy; they communicated every step of the process. Now, as a customer for over three years, they are still reaching out, and if I ever initiate contact, they are right there for me, too! I absolutely recommend this company!

From start to finish the ION Solar team was there for us. Explaining step by step what to expect and answering all are questions. They kept us on task making sure the process was completed in a timely matter with a minimal amount of mess. Now it has been about two years since our system has been installed and our electric bill is down to numbers we haven’t seen since we lived in an apartment. We highly recommend the ION team if you are thinking about going solar.

Sales person Tom was very knowledgeable about the complete project from installation to payment methods and rebates. The electrical installer was real good too. He explained a lot to me as he went along. The rooftop guys were good also, but I must say I was a bit disappointed with them because I explicitly asked them to be careful about the roof tiles (concrete). They told me all was good when they were finished. Well, not so fast. Long story short, 6 tiles were broken, and, they were discontinued from the supplier come to find out. Ion's general fixit dude tried like heck to find some. No luck. One of the installers did find some that were close, so we swapped out ones from under the panels. All and all, the system has been working flawlessly, so it's all good. They put in an effort to make it right. I wouldn't let that stop me from recommending Ion. If you have a tile roof, just be aware. That's all.

We were paying about $175.00/month for electric for our home on Oregon. We are not extravagant with our usage, but rates keep climbing. We had researched transitioning to solar and after discussing our options thoroughly we decided to go with ION Solar. We were completely happy with the entire experience. Everything g was laid out clearly, timelines met and the technicians were fantastic. Our county inspector said that they did an extremely good job on the install and also mentioned that "we never have issues when we inspect ION installs". BUT the best thing is this....our electric bill is routinely 12-15 dollars/month!

ION Solar truly simplifies the entire process. They’re a great company to work with—thorough, professional, and attentive every step of the way. From the start, they clearly explain everything and walk you through the process so you always know what to expect. Their customer service is outstanding—responsive, helpful, and quick to answer any questions. On installation day, they ensure everything is done right, and if something isn’t, they address and correct it immediately. For example, I noticed a few panels were missing bird guards; they came out the very next day to take care of it. When it came time to file taxes, they made sure I had all the necessary documentation and even guided me through the process of claiming the solar tax credits at both the federal and state level. (Note: This doesn’t include preparing or filing your taxes—just help with the solar credit portion.) ION Solar is a fantastic company, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering solar for their home. And honestly, if you’re not looking into solar, you’re basically giving money away to the electric company. Make the switch—add solar, and start earning credits back.

ION and Dividend Finance did all the paperwork making the process easy. The install crew did a great job, they were thorough, courteous, and cleaned up well. The system looks good and works well as anticipated. I was disappointed at the routing of the conduit on the outside of the house. I had discussed what I wanted with the electrician before hand, but he didn’t do it that way which would have minimized the conduit exposure on the outside of the house - an eyesore. They did a worse job on my neighbors conduit installation. I also didn’t know that a third party would manage the SRECs, and I would be paying them to do so.

My guy Preston came knocking on my door as per usual when you buy a new home, lucky for him I was in the market! I had signed with another company prior to his arrival but he took a look over my contract and pointed out that the other company wasn’t even selling me a solar system!!! I was essentially renting them. He quickly advised me on how to get out of that contract and for LESS than what the other company was charging me, I was able to get a bigger system and back up battery using BETTER technology. I knew nothing when it came to solar products and I am extremely grateful that Preston got me out of a potentially nightmare of a situation. I had a few issues with my panels when the system was first installed, but they were quickly remedied. I would contact Preston at the craziest of hours due to my own work schedule and he never failed to answer my questions, regardless of how many times I would ask the same thing. I’ve had the system for a few months now and have no complaints! The back up power has came in handy for a couple storms and random outages and overall our family is very happy with our system.

So excited to finally have solar! We've been wanting this and talking about it for years and Ion finally made it happen! They were generally responsive to our questions and very patient with all of your spreadsheets and annoying questions. Our Energy Adviser, or primary sales POC, was Griffin M and he sat with us for several hours over multiple days patiently going through all of our engineering spreadsheets and detailed questions. He was very honest and straightforward with us and if didn't know something he would go find it out in a reasonable timeframe. Can't appreciate his work enough. There were a few times where we had to go back to the design team with concerns and we had to delay the installation to get the right numbers for our power home usage but they ultimately worked out well. Because of all of our questions, it was maybe 3 months between contract to install but the actual install was done very quickly, within a day. We did have to wait a few weeks after install to turn the system on but that was mostly waiting on city inspections, permit, and power company permissions. We do appreciate the Ion Solar app which allows us to monitor our system performance on a daily basis and we are already seeing power go back to the power company ~20 days after install :).

They are a really good company for initial install, of you are going to add to your system just go with another company. They will come and install a whole new box on the outside of your house, and install a system that does not communicate with the old system. They are also terrible at communication. I never knew what was happening and every time I called the people I spoke to didn't know what was happening. They also will make appointments and never show up or call. So just save yourself the trouble and go with somebody else.
