Treeium Energy Reviews

Let me start off by saying that Treeium might have been a good company at one time, but in 2023, they are authentic scam artists. I contracted with Treeium to install a solar system at my house in January 2023, after going through numerous reviews of the company on more than a dozen websites. The permit from my home city took a little longer than expected, but we were supposed to have the system installed in early May. Then June. Then July. Then I was ghosted by the company. Eventually, in mid-August, I was able to get ahold of Moty, the CEO of Treeium, who explained to me that the company was going through some financial difficulties, and that the $30k I had already paid them for the materials had been spent on other projects (which is a breach of contract), and that it might be two or three months before they could install it... unless I gave them the next payment, which wasn't due until installation was completed, now, in which case they could get it installed in the next ten days. Which, incidentally, is extortion, and is stated twice in the contract they provided us that is illegal in the state of California. Instead of allowing myself to be extorted, I gave them one final opportunity to do the right thing and install the solar system we're already given them $30k to install, or I'd have no other choice but take them to arbitration. The arbitration company assigned a case manager today, because Treeium decided ghosting me again was the smartest course of action. So if you see all these bad reviews and still decide they are worth giving a chance, that's on you. You've been warned. Stay as far away from Treeium as possible.

We contracted with Treeium Energy (a subsidiary of Treeium Inc.) to install a home solar system for us (photovoltaic panels, battery back-up and EV charger) on 1/25/22. As of today (10/12/22), the system is still not operational and the project is not complete. Here are some of the problems that have arisen in the course of this project. 1. The contract we signed specified an estimated completion date of 5/20/22. We are about 5 months past that date and the project is not completed or operational. 2. The contract was outrageously front-loaded so that Treeium collected funds before doing the associated work. There was thus no financial incentive for them to complete the project. 3. The process of getting plans approved by the city was needlessly delayed because Treeium was not aware of the proper protocol to follow in getting approval. 4. Treeium told us that, once materials were received, installation of the system would be complete in 2-3 days after starting work. It took over a month. 5. After installation of the system, Treeium left significant stucco damage unrepaired for a month. 6. Because of all the project delays, we’ve suffered financial loss as a result of having to pay interest charges and utility bills at the same time. 7. Treeium has tried and repeatedly failed to file proper paperwork to (1) get utility company approval to turn on the system and (2) to get the utility company rebate they told us we’d get. 8. Treeium has been unresponsive to our requests for information on project status and estimated completion dates. 9. Treeium has failed to respond to concerns at all. They’ve basically been ghosting us. I would avoid doing any business with Treeium at all, and particularly avoid doing any solar-related work with them. Treeium is not a professional operation.
