From the start we had good information shared with us from Dallen he answered our questions. All information was shared via email and phone. Which made very simple. Follow up and follow through on their end has been good. Phone messages have been returned and questions answered. Install was completed on time and they arrived on time. Clean and quick.

Prior to signing on with Ion Solar I had 2 other solar companies come to my home and try to gain my business. Ion Solar was the third. I liked the professionalism the gentlemen showed and of course how knowledgeable they were of their product. Throughout the process of getting my solar system installed, my account manager was in constant contact with me, informing of everything. The surveyors, installers, and inspectors were all quite professional and respectable. I am excited to have an ION Solar system!

Tom D is the guy to ask for if you want your solar panel project in your house. He will be with you every step of the way and will always have your back. I ask him for everything and always have an answer. He explained the whole process to us and made it very simple to understand. Our project manager was equally awesome as Tom, they did all the leg work for us, and nothing up front. Great to work with and honest people. The team that came and installed my panels finished in one day. Very respectful, courteous and professional. Highly recommend this to anyone

Working with Ion Solar was a pleasure. Everyone was patient, kind & considerate, & answered all my questions. M. Rowley made sure I understood the step by step process & understood the new terminology I was learning. I received my 1st electric bill 12/7/18 after one month of being on line with Ion Solar. I had a 53.00 credit! That made my day! One less bill to pay! I have not had any problems with my new system, I don't notice a difference in power service.

The energy adviser Justin G presented ION solar to us and my wife and I thought that it would be a good choice to go Solar. So we sign up with Justin who said that it would take awhile for everything the fall into place. It seemed like a long while before anything was happening then we heard from Micheal R our Project manger. He keep us informed as to what was happening next. This is very important, keeping us imformed makes it feel like you haven't beeen forgotten. The people that installed the unit were very quick and professional.

I've been very pleased with ION. They installed my system in Feb of 2018 and I have been enjoying no power bill for a few months now. The only thing I pay my power company is the connection fee which is a flat fee I guess each month no matter what. My interactions with every employee was overall good. There was some miscommunication with the installers showing up earlier than expected, but when they give you a window of time to show up, you generally dont expect them to be right on time! I would recommend ION to my friends and family.

I have had many solar companies come by my home. I spoke to a couple of them but did not like what they offered, so I quit talking to them. After about a month ION showed up at my door. I decided to listen one more time. I was amazed by what they had to offer. ION has been great. They have great customer service and I would highly recommend them.

ION was a life saver. I looked at 7 different companies and couldn't make a decision because nobody really stood out as a better company. I saw an ION truck in my neighborhood and reached out to them to see what they offered. Their pricing was better than most of the companies I contacted and their products were the best available so they led the pack regarding the products they offered but their service was so much better and to me, that's one of the most important things. I'm happy I purchased from ION and I am super happy with my system.

I was absolutely impressed with the professionalism of the salesperson and his knowledge. He was able to answer all of my questions and help us make the best decision for our home. With the reviews out there we were impressed that all of our expectations were met and exceeded. With the increases in the energy rates we've seen on a year to year basis its baffling why more people don't take advantage of Solar. Vision has my vote now and with anyone that asks about our system.

We knew when we moved to Las Vegas that it'd be an ideal location to have solar installed on our home. That said, we didn't know much about it and were a bit intimidated at the thought of having to shop around. When ION showed up at our door we were eager to learn how they could help us but didn't want to commit until we received several quotes from other companies. Once we had a few quotes, it was very clear that ION stood well above other companies in every way. ION was more professional, had a better product, and had the best price. Overall, we felt well taken care of and had all our questions answered along the way. ION made it easy from start to finish. We're beyond satisfied with the value we received.

I've had nothing but a wonderful experience with ION Solar! The reps were great and kept us informed each step of the way. The installation crew even helped us patch a few shingles on our roof that got damaged in a wind storm that happened just days before installation! What's also wonderful was that we could communicate through whatever means I found more convenient for me, text, phone or email. I work 50 hours a week, so being able to send a quick text response during my breaks was really nice! Their communication and customer service step by step through the project was amazing!!

Overall, we are extremely pleased with our Ion Solar experience. Once we settled on specifications, got necessary permits, etc., then installation was fast and smooth. Once the system was finally able to operate, we were impressed with the system production which is greatly exceeding our expectations for the size of our system. Although we had one small error (conduit painting, not the solar system itself) in the whole endeavor, Ion was very attentive to our concerns and did not waste time sending help to fix the problem. A minor inconvenience, and not detrimental to our whole Ion experience. We are happy to have done business with Ion.

Rip-off, mislead by sales person about cost, financing and how the tax credit played into the loan - all the things that matter. Also added a second electrical panel to our house saying it was necessary and didn't even use it for solar. It serves no purpose. I pay more monthly ($350) for the loan than I ever paid for electricity (our total annual was around $3500). And our panels only produce 48% of our usage - so we are paying on average $500 a month now. Dividend (the loan company) is the loan servicer. Note you can only re-amortize one time, so making big payments to pay down the loan doesn't save you any interest except for the one time. ION Customer service was "great" until they got the money from Dividend. Very defensive when confronted about the shady sales process. GO ELSEWHERE with an honest company.

Ion Solar has the worst sales culture! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not disturb people who have clearly placed No Soliciting signs. No clue if you have a great product but STOP BOTHERING PEOPLE AT THEIR HOMES who have asked you not to. I have requested several times since 2023 to be on your Do Not Knock list. So please don’t tell me to ask again! Their door to door sales people have harassed me so much at home with clearly posted No Soliciting signs that I actually got Ion Solar to buy me a large red NO SOLICITING sign last summer. I escalated multiple complaints to them each time a sales rep disregarded our clearly posted signage. I am completely at a loss as to why an Ion Solar sales rep knocked on my door just now. Walked past a giant bright red no soliciting sign that blocks my walkway, didn't regard the additional No soliciting sign on my door and proceeded to knock anyways. Will be reporting this again to Better Business Bureau, FTC and their corporate headquarters. I get you need to make a living and I have respect for sales people and solar power but stop interrupting me at home! Ion Solar - What are you doing systemically to address this issue?

The overall experience with Ion solar has been pretty painless. The only negative is that we were promised follow up from the individual that sold us the panels however, we have not heard from him at all. Also, we requested one of our panels to be corrected in the front of our home that looked pretty crooked. We have not had that complete either. Other than those 2 unfortunate events ion solar has been a pleasure to work with.

I was very excited to get solar panels as I had them installed on. my home in Arizona and saw wonderful benefits. I still believe solar is important for the environment but I am not seeing the savings I thought I would yet but we will see what happens in the summer. Right now not great with savings.. I was told to use a refund program for solar and that I would give that to Mosaic to lower my costs but when I called to ask question about this for tax purposes I was sent the contract to send to my CPA so not happy about that. Still not sure what to do if the refund comes through. More support after solar is put in should be considered by the company.

Felipe and Laura Pereira West Jordan, UT

The process with ION started out really great. We did have questions about possibly upgrading our voltage when we added the panels and they never got back to us about their in-house bid, despite calling and emailing multiple times. We did move forward with the solar panel installation though. However, despite getting 3 panels more than the basic recommendation for our current usage, we are still paying our normal electrical bill on top of the Solar Panel loan. I’m not convinced that there are actually producing as much as ION projected the would in the spot that they chose. I tried reaching out to them again, but I get lost in voice mails. It’s like once they’re done the umbilical cord is cut and you’re done.

I like they speed of the installation and the overall look of it. My only regret is a 25yr bill for the install. I look at that cost and I don't think my saving will ever equal the cost. I can't afford to remove it and when my monthly payments change after a year the struggles will really begin.

They were very helpful and attentive to getting everything set-up and signed to get going. Once the panels were on though, it's been a very slow and frustrating process to get a consistent project manager to keep the project going. I've had the panels on my house for going on 2 plus months and we've been held up by tech's not putting the right stickers on boxes. I've changed project managers like 3 times. You really have to call and be a squeaky wheel in the last steps to keep things going it seems.

We had 5 different installers install our system. Then there were problems, i.e. wrong electrical was on the schematic and it had to go back to the drawing board to get approved. One guy started installing panels and it got dark. Said he would be back. Found out he was from out of state. 4 more installers came out until the install was complete. Then there was a loose wire and various other things. They changed project managers. The first was a guy I think they got rid of. He was just all talk. When Lyn F was put on the job things started happening. I personally called the town of Deer Trail and arranged the inspection which was today. It was approved so hopefully it will be up and running soon.

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.

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.

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.
