Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Free Solar Consultations
- Emphasis on Customer Service
- Wide Network of Financiers
- In-House Installations
- Long-Term Services
Free Solar Consultations
Solar Negotiators offers free, no-obligation consultations for potential clients. During the consultation, one of the company’s qualified team members will listen to and assess the client’s needs, review past energy consumption, and perform a site walk to determine necessary system size, direction, and pitch. The Solar Negotiators team member will also be able to provide system price quotes during the consultation.
Emphasis on Customer Service
Solar Negotiators aims to provide a high level of customer service and support for its clients. Each Solar Negotiators client is connected with a project manager who will work with them from start to finish of the project. The project manager will communicate weekly with the client to understand expectations, inform on next steps, answer questions, and address any concerns that may arise.
Wide Network of Financiers
The company has a network of financing companies that it can connect its clients with in order to find solar options that fit their needs. Using the power of its network, the company can secure competitive pricing, as well as attractive financing rates and terms.
In-House Installations
Solar Negotiators performs all solar installation in-house. The company does not work with subcontractors or other third-parties. In-house installations allows Solar Negotiators to better ensure the quality of its systems. Contractors handle the initial consultation and design, implementation and mounting, and subsequent monitoring and support of every Solar Negotiators solar energy system.
Long-Term Services
Even after the installation is complete, Solar Negotiators provides a variety of professional services at no additional cost, including lifetime annual professional system cleanings, lifetime active monitoring with in-house support, lifetime annual visual system inspections, and a double-protection warranty.
The Bad
- Limited Service Area
Limited Service Area
Currently, Solar Negotiators focuses its efforts in the Central San Joaquin Valley in California, which means those outside of this service area will not be able to do business with the company at this point.
The Bottom Line
Solar Negotiators gives customers access to a wide network of financiers to help secure solar solutions that fit its clients needs. The company handles the installation process itself, and places an emphasis on customer service through several post-installation services built into the cost of the system. For those who live within the company’s area of operation in the Central San Joaquin Valley, the free consultation may be worth taking advantage of.
