Tier 1 Solar Equipment

Despite being such a relatively young company, Solar City Stl has already partnered with some of the best solar panel and energy storage manufacturers in the solar industry:

• LG — LG solar panels rank among the absolute best modules available today in terms of energy efficiency and durability. LG panels average 22 percent energy efficiency and come with a 25-year equipment warranty.
• Panasonic — Panels from Panasonic average up to 20.3 percent energy efficiency, and also come with a comprehensive warranty for parts and linear output.
• Solaria — The Solaria PowerXT Pure Black panels carry a 25-year materials warranty and boast a high efficiency rating.

The company also provides customers the opportunity to upgrade their solar PV systems with either the Tesla Powerwall or LG Chem home battery systems. Both devices integrate seamlessly with the solar energy system, and store surplus solar energy that can be used either at night or in the event of a power outage or other emergency.

Roofing Services

Solar City Stl is more than just a solar installer; the company is also a local roofing expert for both residential and commercial projects. The company’s highly trained roofing team is prepared to handle any roofing repair issue including leaks, tears and ruptures, UV, wind, and hail damage, and more.

The company also provides roof replacement using the following materials:

• Asphalt Composition Shingles — most popular, and least expensive
• Wood Shakes or Shingles — higher price and durability (not recommended in fire hazard areas)
• Metal Roofing — fire resistant, long lifespan, hefty price tag
• Slate Roofing — attractive, high-end option, but heavy, expensive, and slippery when wet
• Composition Slate — 95 percent recycled materials, lighter and more durable than slate
• Clay or Ceramic Tile — attractive, fire resistant, and lightweight
• Flat Roof Solutions — includes PO, Epdm, Modified bitumen, and Tar

Limited Service Area

As the company name suggests, Solar City Stl only serves residents and businesses in Saint Louis, Missouri and the surrounding areas. As Solar City Stl is a relative newcomer to the solar industry, and more than 100 solar installers operate in Missouri, promoting verified Solar City Stl reviews can be an effective way for the company to stand out from the competition.

Undisclosed Information

In order for Solar City Stl to be truly considered as a top solar provider in its area, the company will need to make the following information available prior to customers seeking out a free quote:

• Financing Information — Financing options can include any or all of the following: direct purchase, solar loans, solar leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
• Solar Inverter Selection — Leading solar companies partner with top inverter manufacturers like Enphase, SolarEdge, and SMA.
• Workmanship Warranty — The workmanship or labor warranty protects the solar energy system against problems caused during installation, as well as necessary maintenance visits. Leading companies set a workmanship warranty of up to 25 years.

No NABCEP Certification

The Saint Louis solar provider does not appear to hold a certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). This organization authors the “gold standard” solar installation certification program, and companies with the designation indicate to customers that their technicians have received advanced training.

While the lack of a certification does not necessarily imply poor installation quality, it can sometimes be the deciding factor for customers comparing multiple solar companies.
