Felt like this was the right time to do something I wanted to do. I have an interest in the environment and giving back to the world. I wanted to do the right thing and teach my children the right thing. Solar Gen was great. Everything seems to be working great. It has done what they said it would. It performs really well even in the winter months. They do great work. Everyone I talked to was great. They were helpful and courteous and responsive. They showed up on time and were respectful. They knew what they were doing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It's all very expensive but I would still recommend them to anyone.

The crew was like clockwork. They were there at eight o'clock in the morning and were finished about two thirty in the afternoon. The customer support was very professional. We had a few questions working through the process and they responded quickly. Overall the experience has been positive. They did it right the first time and delivered on their promises.

Every time we have questions or issue, we reach out and they always take care of it in a timely manner. The people were amazing to work with. It took multiple days to install because they came to do different things but it was pretty smooth. We didn't have to be there the whole time. It went well. They were great to work with. It is very expensive but I hope it is going to be beneficial in the future.

after 2 months of waiting our panels are finally generating electricity and i am happy but the company didn't have great customer support after i signed. the installer called one time to say when they were coming, missed the call and just happened to be here when they showed up so i was able to open the gate. same thing happened when the electric company when they installed to meter so i was able to call them energized right away... i would do five stars if everyone was just like my initial salesman but no one seemed very sure of what was going on when i called about a few things. mainly the fact you don't need a smart phone and an app to monitor the system. you can monitor from their web site which will show a "snapshot" of the systems current performance and history

They were on the ball getting us approved and getting the panel installed. Since then ( almost 2 months) we have been stalled, waiting on the power company and their electrician to get our electrical box updated. We had an appointment set in January but the temperature was 5 degrees outside. Our furnace was being repaired and we had only electrical heaters. We could not go up to 7 hours with no power at that point. They said it would be about 3 weeks to get us back on the schedule. It has been 8+ weeks and FINALLY they got it set for this week. We are excited about the future with our new solar system but I think they need a bit more communication across the board, within the company and with their clients. Would I use them again, YES!

My sales rep, Nathan, was honest and upfront about the whole process. He shared accurate and insightful data as well as other pertinent information. All the other people with Solgen that I've dealt have been extremely respectful and helpful. Solgen also provided many perks which I was unaware that I would receive such as LED light bulbs for my whole house, free insulation in my attic and a free Google Nest thermostat to replace my old one.

They did everything on time and did everything right the first time. Every process was done perfectly, they took my son in law and taught him how to work the whole system install. The installation department had no problems. I would say that anyone that wanted to get a solar system should use Solgen. Some guys showed up and were on the roofs and in one afternoon got it all installed. We had to wait a day for the inspection from the local power company and then they approved it all.

I got feedback anytime I had any questions or any concerns. During the construction of the project the turn around time was very fast. I never really found myself waiting too much to get anything done. Installation went as smoothly as it could especially during Covid. They had to work with the local power utility companies to get the job done, when they would drag their feet Solgen was already on top of it. I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome that I've been saving a lot of money in my power.

The sales guys who came over were personable, they got to know us a little bit and they weren't pushy, they just laid out all the facts and answered all our questions and helped us decide what was best for us. Installation was quick, they had it done in probably four and a half hours they had the whole thing up and ready to go. Anytime we had a question the sales guy, Chris, was more than happy to answer questions and we were satisfied. I haven't had any issues with it.

They were upfront with everything. There are other companies out there that will try to sell you more. Their staff were very helpful. Installation was smooth. I wasn't home but my mom was. They cleaned up after themselves. It was quick. Nothing is perfect but I haven't had any issues.

There was some miscommunication about the smart thermostat. They still haven't replaced the one that didn't work right. There are some problems with shade from the trees that they didn't tell us about. They came out to fix the problems. One person came back two or three times to try fix things. This helped resolve things. The communication skills are excellent. He was very helpful and reassuring.

Internal company communications don't seem to be so hot but they know their business. I think the initial sales person might have misled us about the tax credits that have changed. The installation process was very quick and efficient. We were pleased once they got the bugs worked and got the right location. There was some sloppiness with the documentation.

Really helpful that they are a zero down option on the roof. It allowed me to get the panels. I refinanced at the same time. They did a really good job working with my loan service to make sure all was kosher. I can tell it is a little more than they normally do. I've been happy with the equipment. I'm excited to see what it produces in summertime when I get more sunshine. The process felt a little rushed. It can be a little overwhelming. It was smooth to get it put up. They were done in a couple of hours.

My experience started out great, but both the weather and supply chain issues caused things to be much slower than anticipated. However, what Solgen really needs is to assign a project manager to each client (yes, they'd have more than one client to supervise), who would call each client on Monday with a status update of the project; if anything changed during the week, they would immediately call the client. This would greatly reduce the anxiety as trying to find someone to contact and get information from isn't as easy as it should be.

The salesman was very knowledgeable. He impressed me with what he knew. Their technical people are very good too. The project management needs some attending to because it is pitiful. Communication is lacking. They were a little late getting it installed. It is all working now and it has been corrected and adjusted properly. I would still recommend them.

Just overall positive experience able to troubleshoot anything that hasn't been working. Installation was good but there were different teams for installing, wiring, and adding insulation, so it took a little longer than I would have imagined. It works well but I might ask for more panels to be installed at a later time to increase the amount of energy it produces.

It seems to be working fine. The installation process itself was fine, the guys were in and out, very quick, very, very efficient. I wish Solgen has been a little more upfront about their service area. When we had people come up here they were generally from very far away. If I had known that they didn't have a presence here I would have gone somewhere else. What I should have done was called up my local utility and said who have you had the best luck working with as far as solar providers because I think that Solgen being based in eastern Washington is not having a lot of representation at a certain amount and I really made the process a lot more complicated. The installers were great, but the people I ended up talking to on the phone were not. I had a lot of trouble getting through on the phone with the Solgen.

It's still a little expensive but it's come down quite a bit. Well my electric bills lower. I haven't had any problems. Installation was pretty good except for the fact they had to keep coming back over and over and over and because one company had to wait for another company to do something and so forth so it took about eight visits I think. I like the app, the Solgen app or whatever it's called.

Thank you so much for the honest feedback Shirley! Unfortunately, waiting for the local jurisdictions and utilities are often the longest part of the process. At Solgen, we submit everything as quick as possible so we can work with those companies to expedite your project as quick as possible. We are sorry that it didn't fully reach your expectation but we hope that your process was able to run as smooth as you say!

We lost half of our converters in the first six months. It snowed in February and the solar panels ripped off. Once we discovered what was going on, they had it fixed within three weeks. I would still recommend it. Installation was very smooth. I like the way they presented it. I am an electrician.

They've done an excellent job. I like that each was is independent of the others so if one goes out the other still work. It is working quite well. We can monitor things really easy from the app. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They were conscious that I had a newborn bay and I barely noticed them working.

Very impressed with the installation. The crew did a very good job. They seemed to be well coordinated. It takes a little time. I like how they went beyond the height conduits to access the panels in the roof. I like that their panels are made in Australia and other parts where they have been doing solar for longer. I was hoping to get a generator switch installed at the same time, it was my understanding when I signed, but the policy changed and no one let me know. I did contact them to ask and they explained it to me. I did have to put in a lot of effort to figure it out.

There is no follow up after solar panels were installed. I wish there was an app for me to see the power they are pulling in, peace of mind they are working. So I'm rather disappointed at the post installation of the experience. One of their installers was also supposed to come back and fix some scratches on my door trim and I never heard back from him.

All the customer service people and technicians I talked to and worked with were wonderful. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because of a mishap that caused my final installation to be delayed about a month. Otherwise, I'm happy with the service and the end result.

Hallie H Sykes Seattle, WA

They were fast and thorough during the install process, however the estimate on how much power the panels would produce was pretty far off and inflated. The sales pitch "guaranteed " that we would offset energy costs by 50% and it won't event get close to that. The "no cost" solar was based on the savings over time and it's actually more expensive than before.. (loan + energy bill). The communication fell through after install so it took forever to actually get.them turned on..we kept getting shuffled to different schedulers.. our main point of contact left town or something.

The service is great, and the Sense device/app that is included really gives you an idea of where your power is being distributed to. The only initial qualm that I had was during the installation; it seemed as though a ball was dropped when communicating with the city to schedule and install the meter, which delayed the process by several weeks.

I appreciate when I asked about storage batteries they told me they sold them but they were expensive and not efficient and recommended I didn't get them. The rest of the system seems to be quite efficient. With the installing process, it went okay but they installed it upside down and it burned out so I was without half of it for about four months but the good news was Solgen paid my power bill for those months. I appreciated that. Sometimes customer service does not seem to know much about my account. They should make sure they are up to date so they can give timely responses.
