Everything from interview to sales briefing to actual installation and full operation were executed very professionally, and promptly, with schedules met at every step. System immediately began taking over the electrical usage at home. No electric company bills for the summer months! So far, very satisfied with the system.

The solar is working well. They should of suggested more panels to attract more energy but the panels have saved me a lot on my monthly bill. The process was smooth and the install came before you knew it. Thank you for everything!

Panels seem to be good quality and will be excited when they are turned on. However, communication from our salesperson and project coordinator was slow and often felt like an afterthought, and we were re-assigned a new coordinator eventually, who was much better. Process takes a decent bit of time between signing on with Ion and getting panels installed (~4 months), with another 3 months between inspection and getting utility approval. I also had to remind the company to install critter guard when it was promised at sign on, so sometimes felt like I, the customer, had to initiate things.

The staff has been extremely friendly and professional, but the entire process has taken an incredibly long time. It has been 6 full months so far and I still don't have solar power. The original 3-4 month estimate will now be at least 8-9 months before I realize any solar work.

We loved the professional skills and communication with the ION Solar people we worked with. Our dislike was the time element to get everything completed but we understand the delays were due to services outside of ION’s control

Unfinished business. The sales team and installers wooed me in the beginning. They were very informative, helpful, courteous, and on time during the begining process. (I would've rated them higher) However, once the installation was completed, and all the city inspections were completed, ION failed to complete the repairs process as they promised. I've had 5 or 6 broken appointments (by ION) to repair the ceiling in my shed. They cut out a portion of it during the installation process in order to drop lines to the power boxes. My system has been up and running since January but ION still hasn't fixed it. Frank, the repairman was horrible. Every time I had an appointment set he promised to come but either I got a call from him or someone from the office giving me excuses as to why he couldn't come to do the repairs. A 3rd party Rep was sent out once and they said they couldn't do it because it was a 2-man job. Being that it was a weekend day, he couldn't find anyone to come help him. I have made several desperate attempts to get this resolved by contacting the Sales Closer, Brandon, the Project Manager, Dominique, and left a voice-mail for the Area Supervisor. I called the local Hampton number provided and the Customer Service Rep said all the Supervisors were in a meeting and one of them would call me back later. No one ever returned my call. I saw a ION vehicle in the neighborhood so I stopped to talk to him - pleading for help. He took my name and number and sent a message to a Supervisor (supposedly) and said I should hear from someone within 2 days. I never heard from anyone. I am disappointed and displeased with the way I've been treated. Since ION is basically ignoring me and refusing to repair what they "damaged", ION is causing me to consider taking legal action. I hate that our relationship has come to this but my patience has run out.

Ion Solar finished our install back in November and now we wait for our electric company (Xcel) to approve and switch out our meter. THEN WE CAN FLIP THE SWITCH ON. We did have to make our 1st payment for the solar loan. Hope the meter switch happens quickly so we can start taking advantage.

Good information regarding the potential installation. Fairly quick start to the project - installation of the necessary modifications to the power input/output panel. Some problems with the City of Loveland - seems as if they are putting up roadblocks to solar installations by requiring minor, unimportant modifications designed to slow the progress of the project and, possibly, to persuade us to cancel the project and withdraw from the contract.

The communication was decent up until installation and the installationwent smoothly. Once that happened, I have had constant issues getting updates. My project coordinator, Nick, completely ignored my texts and calls. I had to call multiple times to the general customer support to find out what was causing delays. My new projector coordinator, Kaylee, reached out Jan 23rd to see if I had questions about my utilities inspection scheduled for 1/30 but never responsed to my texts or messages left on her number. My scheduled inspection was canceled but I was not notified of the cancelation until Feb 7th when they were trying to reschedule, which was set up for Feb 17th. Kaylee finally reaches out again on Feb 14th, again asking if I had questions about the next steps. I didnt bother asking anything since they NEVER respond. The 2/17 inspection was canceled the day before due to an employee quitting. We are now scheduled for 2/28 (will this one be canceled, too?) Meanwhile, i have had my panels up since November and am now paying on a loan for a non-working system!

Have been in a signed deal with them for almost a year now and still haven't finished the install (missing critter guards due to snow) or turned the system on (due to Excel dragging their feet). However I had a project manager with Ion who didn't respond or reach out for a month twice during the process. I've also been told different things about the waiting for the system to be turned on by several people. Just feels like the communication between departments at Ion is mediocre at best. I'm at the point now that I kind of wish I had explored other companies. ****The crews who have physically done the work at my house were top notch though, only reason the review isn't lower stars!****

Like : Installation and followup with customer was on prompt. Dislike : doing their due diligence to follow up with Duke, there were days the request was pending for more than a month because they did not follow up on something with Duke. Installer said the daily production can be seen on the Ion app, did not see this until right to operate was issued. It felt like they got the money as the loan paid them and washed the hands off. Project co-ordinator someone named Michelle, did not bother to call at all, nor provided any updates. This was mentioned during installation that the next steps, project co-ordinator will reach out and update.

What I like about ION Solar, is that the representatives keep you in the loop during the installation process from contracting, permitting, panel installation, etc. Their installers are respectable, knowledgeable, and courteous members of this organization. Thank you for all you do, as installation nears its completion.

The product (solar panels) works well. Our overall energy bill has been slashed dramatically. My only problem with ION is that they do not always respond to emails in a timely manner. Several times I've had to try multiple times to get a response. And after they give you the name of a focal point to contact, invariably that person is not available when you contact them. But again, the solar panels work as promised.

I like having solar because I have seen a significant savings in my electric bill especially during the winter months. ION customer support has responded in a timely manner to questions I had within a year after installation. Installation was completed January of 2022.

ION Solar is a good company and their panels do what they are supposed to. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is simple due to an under estimate of panels needed for my home. My bills are significantly less than normal but not where they could have been. My only recommendation for someone interested in Solar is to be in your home for at least a year so you have a solid history of consumption. I lived in my house for 3 month and accepted a bid based of the salesman best guess as what my usage would be.

Since day 1, Ion staff have been so impressive. Excellent and constant communication, informative and detailed knowledge, polite and always professional. The install alone was amazing. They were quick and clean. The panels look beautiful and they were so much quieter than expected during their install.

If an ion solar representatives solicits your home, ok would recommend having them come back later when you have had a chance to do some solar homework. Our salesman came out and made everything sound really good. We were brand new residents to our home and have not had a chance t ok assess our bills yet and we made a rash decision, based on his sales tactics. If I had a salesman from several different companies right there at the same time, it might have made more sense to let them argue out their points and their prices. Right now, I am feeding the grid and the grid feeds me back. If I produce more than I eat, I only have to pay an ion solar bill. I do not get a solar credit from my electric company, nor does anyone pay me for making extra electricity. (Bum deal if you ask me). If I use more electric than my panels make, I get a bill from ion and I get a bill from my electric company too. Ion will call and text you constantly until your solar install is complete, so that they can ensure that their system is installed in a timely manner. This becomes irritating if you run into any problems with an HOA. All in all, I wish I had a better option that allowed me to make money from the panels. The installation crew didn't fully pick up their mess before they left the job site, even after being reminded the mess was there, they only came back and picked up half of it.

Wicker Norfolk, VA

Overall very happy but unresolved damage issues disappoint I’ve been using my new solar panels for a few weeks and love them. They have been working without any issues so far. ION definitely has their process down for getting these installed quickly and efficiently. They provide an app for easy tracking of the entire 10 step process and were always quick to respond. The sales team was very friendly and were happy to talk and answer questions with no obligations or pressure. One hiccup in the process was from the preliminary inspector who did not relay information to the team who was doing the install. The electrical box was not on an exterior wall so the work order changed which meant they needed the design to be approved which delayed the install for a week. The install went smoothly and the workers were friendly and cleaned up after themselves. Unfortunately they brought a giant bucket lift to help get panels onto the roof and damaged the driveway. The lift was overkill and so heavy it cracked the driveway in several places. I was told several times any damage to the property would be repaired but it has been a couple of months now with no one getting back to me. There is still one final inspection to take place so maybe they are waiting for that. All of the inspections take a while but that’s out of their control. The payment plan is reasonable and I’m hoping the panels will be paying for themselves very soon. ION Solar has a lot of experience in other states so I felt comfortable going with them. If they fix the damage caused by the lift I would 100% recommend them.
