The company has been ranked as a top solar contractor by Solar Power World on three separate occasions for the company’s ability to develop trusted relationships with its clients.
Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Equipment Partners
- Solar Services
- Installation Process
- Solar Farms
Equipment Partners
One aspect of operation that separates Sunflow Solar from other installers is that the company truly offers customized solutions. The company has partnered with a number of tier-1 manufacturers allowing clients to receive equipment that best suits their property needs. Sunflow Solar has equipment partnerships with the following manufacturers:
| Panels | Inverters | Battery/Backup | Racking |

By providing a wide range of equipment options to its clients, homeowners can get the customized solution that solar dealerships simply cannot provide.
Solar Services
Through Sunflow Solar, interested clients can take advantage of a number of solar-related services. Most solar providers focus entirely on solar sales and residential or commercial installation. Sunflow Solar goes above and beyond to address a wide range of solar needs. These solar services include:
- Solar financing
- Solar installation
- Solar repair and maintenance
- Battery storage
- Off-grid solar
- Custom solar builds
By offering a wide range of solar services, Sunflow Solar provides a level of flexibility not commonly found by traditional solar contractors. This allows Sunflow Solar to reach clients' individual needs on an entirely new level.
Installation Process
The installation process created by Sunflow Solar has allowed for end-to-end servicing, meaning the company will handle every aspect of the solar project without outsourcing any steps to a third party provider. Not all solar contractors can make that claim. The solar installation process through Sunflow Solar breaks down as follows:
- Consultation
- Site evaluation
- Design review
- Permitting
- Installation
- Site evaluation
- Meter replacement
- Activation
Even once the installation process is complete, Sunflow Solar will continue to service its clients to ensure maximum energy production.
Solar Farms
One particularly unique service available through Sunflow Solar is its solar farms service. Sunflow Solar has been a part of a number of commercial solar farms, which allow for environmentally friendly energy production.
Some of the solar farm projects Sunflow Solar has completed have allowed for some commercial buildings to become net-zero buildings. This has greatly reduced electricity costs, alleviating that stressor for caring and INC assisted living facilities. Most solar companies focus entirely on residential and commercial solar, failing to address needs that solar farms can alleviate.
The Bad
- Service Area Limited to New Jersey
- Undisclosed Warranty Details
Service Area Limited to New Jersey
Sunflow Solar offers a relatively localized service, providing solar solutions to residential and commercial clients throughout the state of New Jersey.
Despite covering a great deal of the state, the service area of Sunflow Solar is still relatively small especially when compared to other providers that offer services in multiple states, or in some cases, national reach.
Undisclosed Warranty Details
Investing in solar is a financial decision for many. Ensuring that the system works as designed is of grave importance. Protecting that financial investment is also important. To support those desires, most installers offer warranties, both equipment and workmanship. Generally, these warranties are 25 years and 10 years in length, respectively.
While Sunflow Solar offers a bumper to bumper warranty, the company has failed to publicly disclose just how long these warranties are good for. The Sunflow Solar warranty includes the following:
- Free equipment replacement
- System repairs
- Parts and labor
- Watertight roof penetrations
Not disclosing the term length of the warranty makes it difficult to compare the value of the Sunflow Solar warranty in comparison to the rest of the industry.
The Bottom Line
As an end-to-end solar contractor, Sunflower Solar offers a number of high-quality and trusted solar services to residential and commercial clients. The company has developed a number of high ranking partnerships with tier-1 solar manufacturers to provide clients with the best, customized solution possible.
The solar services Sunflow Solar provides goes beyond traditional solar installation, including off-grid capabilities, solar storage, and even repair and maintenance. The installation process from Sunflow Solar is handled entirely by in-house, trained staff and allows for timely installations and activations. In addition to installing residential and commercial solar systems, Sunflow Solar also does Solar Farm work.
Despite offering a number of quality services and features as part of its platform, there are drawbacks to the Sunflow Solar operation. For starters, the company only services clients within the state of New Jersey. Additionally, Sunflow Solar provides warranties to its clients but has failed to disclose particular details which make it difficult to compare to industry standards.
Considering all that Sunflow Solar offers to its clientele, homeowners looking for completely customized solar solutions installed by one provider will likely find what Sunflow Solar has to offer to be extremely beneficial.
