The Verdict
This company is a liability you can't afford to take on. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a stark pattern of broken promises and financial exposure. One homeowner paid over $30,000 in September 2024 with a 60-day guarantee, then chased install dates through spring and summer before canceling 11 months later with no panels and no refund. Another lives with panels bolted to a leaking roof for a year, paying the loan monthly while the company won't schedule the final inspection to actually turn the system on. The data confirms this isn't bad luck. Post-sale support scores 2.4 out of 5, and value scores even lower at 2.6. When problems arise (and 92 reviews say they will), you'll join the long line of customers texting an emergency line that never texts back. The sales team earns praise for patience and transparency upfront, but once you sign, project management collapses. Supply shortages drag on for months with zero proactive updates, permit expirations slip by unnoticed, and at least one customer now has a lien filed against their home because Demand didn't pay its own suppliers.
If you need someone to explain solar financing over the phone, their sales reps will do that well. But if you need panels installed on schedule and a system that actually produces power, look elsewhere. The gap between what they promise and what they deliver has left too many people paying loans on non-functional systems.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
vicmicsamlupe signed a contract in October 2024 for a rooftop solar system, and a year later—October 2025—found the panels physically installed but not producing power. They discovered a lien recorded against their home after the installer failed to pay its supplier, and for the second time the company has notified them it’s undergoing a leadership change. Attempts to reach anyone at the firm have hit a wall; they were told they’d get updates by November 1 but haven’t heard anything. Now they fear the company is collapsing and that they’ll be left with the lien on their property and the expense of hiring someone else to finish commissioning the system. A year earlier the company carried excellent reviews; whatever changed since then has turned that into this unresolved, one-star ordeal. The image that lingers is a finished-looking array on the roof that still won’t produce power—and a lien tied to the house.
Matthew Wilber signed a contract at the end of September 2024 for a system with a 60-day installation guarantee, expecting the work to be finished before year‑end. He handed Demand $30,521.94 up front, and design and permitting ran about 60 days. After that, shortages began — first batteries, then panels — and promised spring install dates kept slipping; one cancellation only came to light when he called the day before the scheduled work. In July Demand offered to move the job forward within two weeks if he accepted a lower‑grade panel; he agreed, but the company still failed to deliver. By early August, roughly ten months after signing, he asked for a refund; Demand replied they could complete the install within a month or else return all funds. Another month passed and Demand emailed a new “targeted” date that fell outside the promised window. Frustrated by repeated delays and poor communication, he formally canceled the project and demanded his money back. In a follow‑up call he was told the project was cancelled and to expect a refund check in 4–6 weeks. He plans to update the review if anything changes.
Stephen started the solar and Powerwall installation process in July 2024 for his home with a company that promised a 45–60 day turnaround and a worst-case finish by late October 2024. Instead, the system did not get turned on until October 2025 after a long string of delays tied to a Powerwall shortage and a pattern of missed delivery estimates — January, then March, then April — with virtually no proactive updates from the company. Panels and a Powerwall finally went up in May, but almost immediately the house showed signs of trouble: flickering lights, power surges and, ultimately, electrical arcing in the breaker panel. He reached out repeatedly via the company’s text line and emergency contact but received no meaningful response. An emergency electrician diagnosed loose connections in the panel and a melted bus bar caused by repeated arcing, forcing a full panel replacement that cost him $12,000. While he pressed the company for help and told them the damage was a result of the install, customer service promised to escalate the matter and then disappeared; the company never acknowledged the damage and instead sent a final bill.

What You Can Expect
In September 2024 bhalchander signed up with Demand Construction through a quote on EnergySage for a combined roofing and solar job on his home. He handed over 100% of the payment up front, expecting Demand to manage both the roof and the solar installation. Demand collected the money but later admitted they couldn’t do the roofing and subcontracted that part to another company. Project management then turned into a nightmare of delays and coordination, though the solar and roof work eventually finished. Despite receiving full payment from him, Demand never paid the roof installer, and now the roofer is pursuing him directly—threatening a lien on the house or legal action. He was shocked that a company like this appeared on EnergySage, and now faces the immediate problem of defending against the roofer’s claims despite having paid in full.
Michael bought a second solar system in November and expected a quick installation after meeting salesperson Jonathan Seber, but the job didn’t happen until May—and when it did the system was installed incorrectly and has never worked. He ended up with a bank of panels on his roof generating nothing while calls and emails went unanswered. He even offered to pay a second time to get the issue fixed, but the company ghosted him and refused to honor contracts or warranties. He discovered the company is facing lawsuits for not paying subcontractors, and learned that enforcing the contract would require arbitration in California. The image that lingers: dozens of panels doing nothing and a hard-to-enforce contract standing between him and a solution.
In March 2024 cdstewart865 entered into an agreement with Demand for a home solar install, expecting a three- to six-month turnaround for the project. They watched those timelines unravel as the company kept issuing revised completion dates that pushed work into 2025 — none of which came to pass. For long stretches their emails and phone calls went unanswered; only after threatening litigation did a crew finally show up this month to finish the physical installation. The hardware now sits on the roof but the system remains offline because Demand has not engaged on the final inspections and permission-to-operate. The tax credits that motivated the purchase are set to expire at year-end, so without inspection and sign-off those incentives — and much of the financial rationale for the project — risk being lost. The experience stands out to them as the most frustrating consumer interaction they’ve encountered.
