Just completed first year of solar power thanks to AWS. I talked to a half dozen solar companies before deciding on AWS. The primary reason was Tim Broughton and the AWS process for helping a potential new client make a well informed decision. Every aspect of my experience was very organized with high responsiveness and accountability from the AWS team across the board. I also want to recognize the install team as they were fantastic to work with in terms of communication and work plan execution. Tim also provided contact info for a dozen or so existing customers for me to contact and get their feedback. That proved very valuable in helping me confirm I was making a winning decision by selecting AWS. I still call or email questions to Tim and he always gets back to me lightning fast with a fabulous attitude and willingness to help. Thank you Tim and AWS. You are second to none.

Tim and Frank installed our solar system in 2018 and we could not be happier. Our electric bill dropped from almost $1,200 to $25! The system has performed flawlessly, and AWS ensures proper maintenance and required updates. My husband and I deeply appreciate their personal service and professionalism. I tell everyone that a solar system has been by far our best home investment. DM Osborne and Donald Brown

I had AWS Solar install numerous panels on my roof a year and a half ago. The installation was flawless and quick. Worked perfectly for 18 months then we began to lose monitoring capability due to wi fi signal. AWS Solar came up with a good fix at their expense by installing a device which contacted internet towers directly rather than relying on the poor performance of Cingular internet.

I've had my solar panels for almost 2 years now and everything is going great. Tim has been great and always answered my questions. When my neighbor was looking for solar panels, I referred him to AWS and after talking to several companies my neighbor selected them as well. Their prices were the best I could find.

I got my 5.6kw solar system through AWS in early 2020. They did a great job coordinating all the permits with my city, with SCE, and with the install. I even had a panel show some abnormal defects months after install, and AWS promptly replaced it under warranty. I recently sought to upgrade the size of my array anticipating a 2nd EV in the household, and through consultation with AWS, we decided it was not worth upgrading if I had to give up my legacy TOU-A plan. Love the honesty from Tim B. Highly recommended.

Long-term Satisfaction

Reviews from customers who hired AWS Solar more than a year ago reveal warranty service, customer support quality, and real-world performance data. These are dimensions that recent customers cannot yet evaluate.
