Linda Sacramento, CA

It took a year before they ever got finished installing the solar and getting it connected to SCE. We were never kept up on what was happening and when I’d call them to find out, I either didn’t get called back, or got a text with some kind of excuse and a promise to call me, then never did. Worst thing was we were told we’d get a rebate of almost $8,000, then when everything was done, found out it’s only a tax credit and we don’t have to file taxes, which I made sure they new! I’m still furious over this. They were supposed to have “their guy” call me six months ago with other information for getting rebates! NEVER HEARD A WORD, even after calling them 3 times!

Diana Pierson Laguna Hills, CA

We had major communication issues , I had to constantly follow up on status only to find out there were constant delays. I was never told I’d have to pay for solar even when panels were not installed. Every time I was told they would call me back with an update a call never came in I had to constantly call myself.

No follow up. Have the solar panels installed and still no word on when the tie in will happen. Been paying for the solar panel for 3 months now and receiving no benefits from it. Horrible experience, thinking about removing them.
