William Harrison

For our historic home, the company provided specialized solutions to preserve architectural integrity. They used low-profile mounting systems and discreet wiring paths that maintain our home's character. The panels are barely visible from the street but still capture maximum sunlight thanks to their careful positioning calculations. The local preservation board approved the installation without modifications.

What set this company apart was their ongoing support. Six weeks after installation, they followed up to review my system's performance data and made some minor adjustments to optimize output. When we had a rare hail storm, they immediately sent an inspector to check for any damage (there wasn't any). Their proactive approach gives me complete peace of mind about my investment.

After researching solar for nearly a year, I can confidently say this company stands above the rest. Their combination of premium products, expert installation, honest business practices, and outstanding customer care represents the gold standard in residential solar. Our system performs beautifully, looks great, and has already provided significant savings.

The company didn't just sell me solar panels - they provided a complete energy solution. Their energy audit identified several efficiency upgrades we could make first, which allowed us to install a smaller, more cost-effective system. They integrated smart home technology that automatically shifts energy usage to solar production times and even set up an EV charger that draws from our excess solar power.

The company's training programs for their staff show in the quality of service. Every team member we interacted with - from sales to installers to customer support - demonstrated deep knowledge about solar technology, local regulations, and energy efficiency. Their continuous education commitment ensures customers get expert guidance at every step.

Wayne Gray

As a business owner, I appreciated their commercial solar expertise. They analyzed our energy usage patterns across multiple meters and designed a system that would maximize our ROI. The installation was scheduled during off-hours to avoid disrupting operations, and they handled all the complex interconnection agreements with our utility provider. Our energy costs have dropped by 60% in the first year alone.

The company's community solar program helped our neighbors who couldn't install their own systems. By supporting their local solar farm initiative, we've helped expand clean energy access while earning credits on our own bill. It's another example of how this company thinks beyond individual installations to benefit the wider community.

For our retirement home, the company designed a system that will require minimal maintenance over its lifespan. They selected components known for long-term reliability and positioned everything for easy access if service is ever needed. Their forward-thinking approach ensures our system will keep performing well into our golden years.

The company's weather-aware monitoring system is impressive. It automatically accounts for cloudy days in its performance calculations and can even predict temporary production drops based on approaching weather systems. This level of sophistication shows in every aspect of their service - they truly understand solar energy at a profound level.

Our solar array has become a point of pride. The company's design makes the panels look like an intentional architectural feature rather than an afterthought. Visitors often compliment how the system enhances our home's appearance while providing all these energy benefits. Great solar design is clearly both an art and a science.

John did a great job installing my solar panels. He was professional, courteous, and efficient. He made sure everything was working properly before leaving, and I’ve had no issues since. The system is performing perfectly. John’s service was excellent!

Addam really cares for the company and his customers. He was very knowledgeable. Some other companies have failed and we are glad we didn’t go with them since Universal Solar Direct has stayed up and provides good service. Everything looks good. We always check on it to make sure it is working perfectly. It has been working perfectly since it was installed.

The quality of the solar panels and inverters exceeded my expectations. The company used premium-tier equipment with a 25-year warranty, and you can tell the difference in construction compared to cheaper alternatives. What really stood out was their attention to detail - they custom-designed the racking system to minimize roof penetrations and color matched all conduits to blend with my home's exterior.

I was particularly impressed with how the project manager walked me through every step - from permit applications to net metering setup with my utility company. They even helped me understand the tax credit paperwork. The monitoring app they provided gives real-time data on energy production, and their customer service team responded within an hour when I had a question about optimizing usage during peak hours.

The team conducted a thorough energy assessment of my home before recommending the perfect solar system. They explained how panel placement, roof angle, and local weather patterns would impact efficiency. The installers arrived right on time with all necessary equipment and completed the job in just two days while keeping my property clean. Six months later, my system is producing 15% more energy than projected!

The Universal Solar Direct team was excellent to work with as they were professional, responsive, and friendly. The salesperson (Jeff) and coordinators (Javi and Claudia) did a great job informing me of each step in the process and the installers (Daniel,Brian,Juan,Mikey ) did a fantastic job completing the installation timely within the estimated window, walking me through how to use the solar system, and what to expect going forward from the Clark County Inspector and Nevada Energy installation of a new power meter. Overall, the experience significantly exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend Universal Solar Direct for your solar panel installations as their pricing was very competitive and the service was superb!

The salesman Brian who sold us solar panels was very forthright and not pushy. The installation was good with no delays or misunderstandings. The customer service team was very responsive to my questions and when I asked for a few more panels, they had those to me in a matter of weeks.

From what I understand they use good panels and a good inverters all with a 25-year warranty. The installation process was very smooth. It looks very well done.

I think they are great company. I would recommend they to all my friends, relatives, and neighbors. The solar system has produced everything they said it was going to produce. I’ve only had to call customer service a couple of times and they solved all my problems. Everything is great with them. These guys have it really put together.

The company's environmental commitment is genuine. They offset all installation-related emissions, recycle all packaging materials, and even collect old solar equipment for proper disposal. Choosing them aligned perfectly with our family's sustainability values while getting us a top-quality solar system.

For our smart home, the company integrated our solar system with existing automation platforms. Now our energy management system automatically adjusts thermostat settings, pool pump schedules, and EV charging based on solar production. Their technical team's programming skills took our system to the next level of efficiency.

The financing options were clear and flexible. Rather than pushing one solution, they presented multiple scenarios comparing loans, leases, and PPAs with detailed 10-year projections for each. Their in-house financing team helped me secure a low-interest green energy loan that made the system cash-flow positive from day one after accounting for energy savings and tax benefits.

The company's educational approach was invaluable. Before signing any contracts, they invited me to tour a completed installation and speak with existing customers. Their solar 101 workshop helped me understand kW vs. kWh, net metering policies, and how to read my new utility bills. Even after installation, they continue sending helpful seasonal maintenance tips and energy-saving recommendations.

There is always obstacles to overcome with any home renovation project and this project was no exception. The thing that sets Universal Solar Direct apart from their competitors is their trustworthiness, quality and most of all the exceptional individuals that work for this company. Alan with Sales, management and Brian and his onsite technicians went above and beyond to ensure my installation was the very best. You get what you pay for and if I had to do it all over again I would pick Universal Solar Direct every time.

Installation scheduling and execution were excellent, including interactions with HOA and Duke Energy. Performance of Solar panels are up and running . Didn't think they would work during the winter but the snow comes right off. A problem with network communication of the inverter was identified. I think Jeff said cellular wasn't strong enough signal. They came out at no charge and hardwired my monitoring. We would definitely recommend Universal Solar to anyone interested in solar.

Universal Solar Direct installs outstanding products that provide industry leading operational results; as well as, industry leading warranties. They can install the box inside your garage at no additional cost, when other companies routinely install theirs outside. They also paint and label your exterior conduit. This is another install benefit other companies charge you for. My HOA requested it was painted and they had no problem doing it.

They have excellent customer service. Every time I contact them, they are prompt and resolve issues. The installation went well, and they were very professional. I think their equipment stays up with current innovation. The system works really well. I have recommended them to a number of individuals and I've been very happy with them. I've certainly gotten all my money back from the system. I just got an electric car and I use my solar no more gas!

Universal Solar Direct is easy to interact with. They are easy to understand. They looked into things I wanted them to do. They let me know when they were going to be coming out. Installation was done in pretty much one day other than waiting until the city inspector come out to approved it. This solar has been operating at the optimal condition from what the monitoring system is showing.

The price is competitive and they have a referral fee that was promised to me for each person I refer. Everything was done on time and not pass their first inspection and they passed inspection on the first time. They did accommodate by sending some out to open the garage because the inspector needed access. It is saving me money on my electric bills and everything is working fine.

I highly recommend Universal Solar Direct. We’ve been very happy. My husband interviewed several companies and decided they were the most knowledgeable. They have been in business since 2012 and have been doing solar since it started. We’ve had some questions along the way, like how to use it properly, and anytime we’ve asked them a question, they had suggestions to make things easier. We are hardly paying anything in the summer because of what we bank in the Spring and Fall.

They have always answered my questions. For installation, they came out and unloaded everything. Within two days, they had everything installed very nicely. They used really good equipment and made sure to put inverter in garage. I see a lot of inverters outside. The owner even came out to check on the installers and brought them lunch and drinks to keep them cool. Think it's family run and was impressed.

Typically we have only have a fifteen dollar bill every month. One month our bill was over $100 and they were honest and explained the whole situation and made sure they did it correctly. They reimbursed my downtime of my solar and my calls are always returned. Even the receptionist would try to solve my problem and that didn’t work. The owner even called which I couldn't believe. What a great company. 5 stars and kudos.

Universal Solar Direct has excellent customer service made the end-to-end retail solar panel process a 5-star experience. They worked closely with us to ensure a seamless and cost effective design, estimate, purchase, and install on our 2600sqft home in Phoenix, AZ. Even though we were out of town during a large portion of the project they ensured everything was taken care. They had a checklist of online forms to fill out, and took care of submitting required HOA and SRP documents. Start to finish took less than two months. Enjoying minuscule electricity bills and looking forward to expanding system for future battery storage system and EV charging plugin.

10/10 Service and quality products. They were a breeze to deal with and if you want some one who has been around not a new company then go with this company. They have been doing solar for more than 12 years. If you do your research there are not that many companies that have that much experience.
