Sopris Solar Reviews

This saga started over 4 years ago. I hired them to put panels on our mountain house. They abused our hospitality (spent the night in our house without permission) Lied repeatedly, and didn't have the system and running for almost 2 years after we paid. When we finally got it going I wanted to keep the final deposit as insurance to make sure the system worked, and they shut the system down, so I was basically blackmailed to pay the final 10 %. After less than a year we had panels falling off the roof. It took me forever to get them to come out and then they said they were not responsible because it was freak nature related (high wind) They finally took the broken panels off and piled them in my garage (so I couldn’t use it)but charged me $4500 to replace them giving me a 3 year total inclusive guarantee. This took 3 months. * months later the4 new panels are collapsed. And they have now ghosted me. Never work with or give these people money. do not trust Allen (goes by solar Pro) or Nathan Billmaier, or Scot Birrell

I have been a GC for nearly 30 years now. This is by far the worst contractor I have ever dealt with. They caused significant damage to the roof and gutters, they caused significant damage to the interior of the home, they did not install the system per the engineering drawings, they did not use the correct mounting system per the engineering drawings and because they exceeded the allowable cantilever of the mounts several of the panels broke. They have refused to correct the situation and do not communicate with me and the owner of the house. I warn you, I have dealt with a lot of bad contractors over the years. Sopris Solar is truly the worst I have ever encountered. DO NOT HIRE THEM TO INSTALL A PV ARRAY!! You will regret it.

Don't do it! They are incompetent!! Don't do it!!! I signed contract April 2022, still Sopris has not all the required permits in hand, and want to change, increase, the contract amount to charge more. They already have over $37,00.00 of my money since before May 2022 and no construction has begun by them. Many promises have been stated, yet most have not been fulfilled. They are really good at delaying and delaying and delaying with excuse after excuse. Despite setting up a weekly update meeting in July 2022, is has only been followed through maybe 4 of the 12 times. They even delivered the wrong material, the main wire to be used from the panels to the house (Sopris brought aluminum wire and not copper as it is suppose to be), which was not the wire THEY specified for my job! The management is incompetent in many ways. They simply do not know what they are doing, or so it is clearly evident in my case. If I could give them less than one star I would give them zero. Finally, I suggest you do a thorough background check on the owner, Nathan B. before you sign anything. Beware of managing partner Scot B. too! dean quint

Don't do it! Look elsewhere for your Solar contractor. This company doesn't deserve to be in business! If you are looking for a horrible experience hire Nathan and his team of crooks at Sopris Solar. You have been warned. DO NOT HIRE SOPRIS SOLAR!!

We started the installation over a year ago and it is still not up and running. They are non responsive and will not finish the work they started. They are not helpful and as I said very unresponsive to our request to help get the city inspection done so we can use our installed but not connected system. We lost the whole year of solar savings!
