CUSTOMER BEWARE!!!!!! I RARELY DO REVIEWS BUT THE PUBLIC CONSUMER NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH!! PLEASE BEWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FREEDOM FOREVER OR SOLAR IN AMERICA & DO EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON SOLAR COMPANIES!! READ THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY. I HAVE EMAILS, TEXT MESSAGES & CALL LOGS TO BACK ALL OF THIS UP! I'M LOOKING FOR A LAWYER NOW. This company is a fraud. Freedom Forever has other smaller companies contracting & baiting customers with all these "PERKS" for signing up. I was baited by a Company called Solar In America dealing with Carl L who is a total fake!! He is nice at first to get your business then a fraud and VERY RUDE after he gets the contact signed and then you get nothing they promised once you are in the loan contract. THE MAN THAT CAME TO MY HOUSE TO SIGN ME UP WHO WORKS FOR CARL L, (TREVOR D), EVEN SAID HE HAD NEVER GOTTEN PAID FOR HIS WORK, WHICH I ALSO HAVE IN A TEXT!! I was promised they would give me a rebate check from them to cover the first 18 months of the loan for the solar panels, which should cover me till I got the Income Tax solar rebate all to put towards my loan which should make my monthly solar/electric payment $92. I was also promised a $50 gift card just for doing a review on Solar in America, which I did raving review at first but once I saw what was really going on I changed it to reflect the truth, and once I did Carl L was Very rude and said he wanted nothing to do with me and that Whitney F would handle everything from here out. She also seemed nice at first said she would handle everything and apologized for Carl's behavior. No more than a few days later she was also making false promises and avoiding my calls & they say they are working on it, the check is in the mail since 8/23 & they all avoid calls, texts & don't respond to anything. They also promised an extra $1000 for going over 30 days on the installation, but of course backed out after the fact. Lastly, I was supposed to get a solar package to help keep me energy efficient including 2 Nest Thermostats for my 2 furnaces, LED light bulbs for my entire house & weatherstripping. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE SINGLE THING THAT WAS PART OF THE DEAL THEY GAVE WHEN WE SIGNED UP!! THIS COMPANY IS DOING A CLASSIC BAIT & SWITCH!!! PLEASE BEWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SOLAR IN AMERICA OR FREEDOM FOREVER!!!! DIG DEEP INTO ANY SOLAR COMPANY BEFORE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT FREEDOM FOREVER HAS/HIRES CONTRACT WORK TO DO THE BAIT & SWITCH!!! ANYONE CAN CALL AND WORK FOR THEM? CALL THEIR PHONE # AND LISTEN TO THE OPTIONS #3 TO BECOME A FREEDOM FOREVER DEALER?? THIS IS VERY FRAUDULENT!!

PLEASE STAY AWAY from this company and also Solar in America Corp. Carl L has given me the run around for several months now. He provided me with a rebate certificate for $1,800 on 3/25/19 to cover the first year of service on my system, and I have been chasing him since 9/1/19 for it. He has on multiple occasions stated that the check was in the mail. I have this captured in private text messages from Carl directly. I contacted my representative and found out that he is no longer employed by Solar of America, and he is also in litigation for unpaid wages. I've also come to find out that Carl L is no longer a partner in Solar in America, and has opened his own company Solar in America Corp. He and his prior partner Sam R have their own legal issues that they are handling with miss managed funds. This company will offer you the world to sign up with them and as soon as you sign on the dotted line they will take your money and disappear. I'm still waiting on the significant savings that going solar is suppose to provide and its been almost a year. I'm going to look into a class action suit as I'm sure that Carl and Sam have done this to multiple customers, and continue to do so.

Thank you for showing me what I would be in for in the future. I reached out to the company for a quote in the week of 9/16/19 and 9/23/19. I had to call Carl L on 9/23/19 to remind him to send me the quote. When he finally sends it on 9/24/19 it’s not what I requested. I said ppa and he sent me a quote for a loan. I call him to discuss and he says he will promptly send me the correct quote first thing Wed morning. I received nothing, I then email him at 1:15pm EST and he says "You will have it in your email inbox by noon PST. Thanks" That was Wed. It is now Friday 10:30am and still nothing. I guess they only want to do loans b/c they know they won’t be around for the next 20 years.

Carl L is a scam artist. They promise an incentive of paying the $1,000 or the amount of the first year of payments and do not deliver. They reel you in with lies and then subcontract the work to incompetent contractors. They have failed to obtain permits as well as fail inspections (the failed inspections were voided because the permit was designed for the wrong house!) I too am pursuing litigation against them along with quite a few other people. I'm currently paying out of pocket for a system that doesn't produce power and probably won't for months! Don't believe them go somewhere else these guys are the worst.

After waiting about 5 months, I finally have the system and panels installed, ITS NOT WORKING AT ALL, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A Technician to come and set or put my system online, I've followed the directions to the "t", no-joy, don't work at all, they can't even see anything on there side. But my first payment is due nect week and i'll be billed by PG&E also! and another thing, I was promised a $1000.00 discount? where is it. Just shaking my head,..sell something that works.

Carl is a scam artist. I cannot find a company called “solar in america” on the California secretary of state website. He promised rebates and more, but never followed through. Its been months and he keeps promising “the check is in the mail” and how it’s “being sent overnight”. BS. I’m owed thousands of dollars and must go to court now. Pote of bad reviews recently!

Carl L and Sam (A) are scam artists. They took me for $30 grand. I am currently seeking litigation in the state of Colorado for breach of contract. Run from these guys. Ask yourself a question. Could you find either of these guys if you had to? They offer no information anywhere, and simply sell your information to a local installer. Please, please, please, do a little research and use a local installer. These guys will never set foot on your project so spear your self the headache. Reward offered for anyone who can provide actionable information on their whereabouts.

Everything was going well, except when I asked the to come to my house and explain the contract they Canceled. They called and said that their morning appointments ran late and they were too far to make it to our appointment. They promised to show up the following weekend, but the never showed up and they didn't even called or nothing. We were ready to sign and to have the solar panels up in our roof. Their loss.

The salesperson texted me one night after 11pm to ask me when a good time would be to talk on the phone the ne t day. I told him to call me around noon the next day. I never heard from him that day, or since. Therefore, you get a one(1j star rating.

Did not show up first time or call,2nd time I did get a nice man but could answer my cuestions.,3nd time did not show.4time they were sending there best man,very best as told to me by owner,then talked to dispatch, where I was told that the best man was on his second week.I cancelled, I am 79, can not wait for them to learn it

Requested info on solar options twice and haven’t got any response back. I will be moving on to another company.

As they were rated highly, I was looking forward to hearing their proposal but they never called.

They never contacted me via email or telephone. I only gave 1 star because you have to.

They never responded to my inquiry. Therefore no review is possible.

They lled and said they would work on a quote and call back, but no call back

Four weeks after requesting a quote and still waiting

We requested a quote and they never called us

Never left a message for me if they even did call
