South Coast Solar Reviews

I was told by South Coast Solar that my Power Company (Newberry Electric Coop) had NET Metering and a Buyback program for any energy that was produced but not used by month end for Solar customers. This was not true as they do not offer these programs to commercial accounts. I managed to receive a copy of an email that was sent from Newberry Electric Coop to South Coast Solar documenting that these services were not available on commercial accounts prior to my installation. Funny that was never communicated to me by South Coast Solar. I only found out many months later when I inquired why my electric bill was not reflecting the energy being created by my solar system. I was told by the CEO that there was nothing they could do concerning the miscommunication but that they would me sell me another battery at a discount to capture more of the energy being created. I am still buying back some of the very energy that my solar system created. I would never have made the investment if I knew there was no Net Metering or Buyback Program! They refuse to correct their wrongs! Be very careful with this company!

SOUTH COAST SOLAR installed a 14.1 kw system to my home in 2011, within 3 yrs the system started to fail, after 6 yrs more than 90% of the system had failed or was failing. the micro inverters had failed not the solar panels, my warranty with the micro inverters was honored by Enphase. South Coast Solar have are yet to schedule a date to have my system upgraded. They received the upgrade parts 5months ago from Enphase.

Repairs take over 6 months even for small routine repairs. Even prior to the pandemic service had been an issue. It’s almost like there office is out of state like maybe in South Carolina. Many of my panels are inoperable due to faulty optimizers to date.

Signed a contract in November of 2021. Still waiting to complete my system, September 2022. So many promises broken you should run from this company, I wish I had
