The Verdict
Energy Solutions earns our recommendation without reservation. One homeowner hired them after a frustrating stretch with other contractors, including one whose ladder fell off the roof mid-quote, and called the difference "everything was suddenly great." Another took two full years to decide, and the team never once pressured him to sign. We found zero complaints about follow-up support across every review, and 100 reviewers singled out how smoothly the project moved from quote to final inspection. Two patterns stand out. First, the pricing consistently undercuts competitors without sacrificing quality. One customer saved thousands by skipping an unnecessary battery upsell after the owner talked him out of it, and the system still met his backup needs when a tree knocked out power two days post-install. Second, the technical work is meticulous. Their electrician routes EV charger conduit inside walls near the foundation so you never see wiring crossing your garage, and one reviewer noted his 12.6 kW array has generated more power than the initial model predicted for an entire year.
If you want the cheapest quote in your inbox, keep shopping. But if you want an installer who'll talk you out of spending extra money when a simpler system will do the job, and who'll come back a year later to troubleshoot a utility meter swap at no charge, the competitive pricing here is a bonus on top of the service.
3 Stories That Stood Out
A Very Boring Farm had been saving for a solar system for years but came into the process bruised by a string of bad experiences with contractors — one installer even tore a new gutter off when their ladder fell from the roof and didn’t own up to it — and felt overwhelmed by pushy, up‑sell-heavy pitches from other solar companies. They found this crew and everything suddenly clicked: the team explained options clearly, coordinated the work smoothly, and purposely looked for ways to save money without shortchanging what the farm actually needed. The electrician made the wiring look tidy and professional, and the installers moved quickly but thoughtfully. The crew put in a full rooftop array plus a few backup batteries; two days later a neighborhood outage hit and their house kept running while others were dark or running loud generators — the performance exceeded expectations. The installers also walked them through how to manage the system so they weren’t fumbling during that first outage. So impressed, they called the company back to add more batteries; now with frequent tree‑related outages they keep living and working as usual and their electric bill is nearly zero. The moment a
jstsmguy had wanted solar for years—his last serious look was about a decade ago—so when he revisited the idea he pulled EnergySage quotes and interviewed two companies to compare. He connected with Chet Zimmer and Grant Lindsley and quickly discovered that Chet knew the technical details and roof layout inside out. After Chet came out to the house and reviewed options, he followed Chet’s recommendation to delay installing a Tesla Powerwall, which ended up saving him a substantial amount of money. Once they decided to move forward, the loan, permitting and installation unfolded almost flawlessly: Energy Solutions answered questions immediately, the crew showed up on time and executed tidy, professional work, and the overall process felt turnkey. Promptness, competence and quality stood out to him so much that he broke his usual habit and awarded five stars. The array has been live for about two months and is already exceeding his expectations for power generation. The detail that lingers most: being steered away from an early battery purchase cut costs up front while the new system is already outperforming expectations — a practical choice that made the whole project feel well-adv-
Living out in the country where the power goes out fairly often, Shawn used EnergySage and was paired with a local company, Energy Solutions, to size up a rooftop solar array and a battery backup to keep the lights on. He connected with Energy Solutions quickly — they came out, provided quotes for the array and battery, and moved from estimate to install with regular check-ins on progress. After the utility swapped the meter the system had a few hiccups; Energy Solutions returned, sorted the issue, and the system has run smoothly ever since. About a year later he had them back to install an L2 charger; they answered questions promptly and scheduled and completed the job in roughly a week. The detail that stands out from his experience is their responsiveness and willingness to come back and fix problems, not just walk away after the install.

What You Can Expect
Chris Lowen had Energy Solutions install a solar system on his home in 2019. In fall 2024 a squirrel built a nest beneath the array and damaged equipment, which caused a noticeable drop in generation. Energy Solutions’ monitoring spotted the problem, proactively contacted him, organized an on-site visit, and dropped everything to diagnose and repair the damage, restoring the system to full production. He remembered the original installation as excellent, and the team’s quick, hands-on response five years later made it clear they stand behind their work. He singled out Grant, Sam, and the broader Energy Solutions crew for going above and beyond — the fast repair and continued attention are what stuck with him.

A year after a 12.6 kW system went up at his home, Tim found the installation ran with calm professionalism — tight project management through design and installation, clear communication, and everything delivered as promised. The standout detail came from the meter: the panels have produced more energy than Energy Solutions’ initial model predicted, which has made the system more cost‑effective than anticipated. He highlights the combination of smooth execution and better‑than‑forecast output as the thing that would make him tell other homeowners to contact Energy Solutions.
Jimmy Lam was shopping for solar and, after getting sky-high quotes from a couple of companies, discovered Energy Solutions. He connected directly with the owner over text to get his questions answered, and the crew came out to measure the site and lay out an up-front, line-item cost breakdown so nothing was hidden. They also installed an interlock kit so his generator can safely power the house during an outage — a practical detail that mattered to him. Two years in, he hasn’t had any equipment issues; the team even sent a proactive check-in email to make sure everything was working and to remind him they’re available if questions arise. He recommended Energy Solutions to his neighbors (one neighbor who chose a different company ended up regretting it), and what stayed with him most was the owner’s accessibility combined with clear pricing and that useful interlock installation.
This homeowner had Chet and Grant install a rooftop system back in 2017. Last week they discovered the inverter had stopped producing power when the monitoring app showed zero output. They emailed Grant before leaving for work, and Chet answered by email and phone later that day, offering to stop by that afternoon to check the system. Chet diagnosed the problem on site, pushed a firmware update to the inverter, and had production restored before the homeowner returned from work. They appreciated that Energy Solutions stayed responsive and willing to support an older installation — the same-day firmware fix and hands-on visit were the detail that stood out.
Patricia had a residential solar system put on her home, and more than a year later she has encountered no problems. She is now left with a monthly power bill of just $12 and is on track to contribute $1,102.86 at the end of the year. The system has run flawlessly throughout the period — the most striking takeaway is that tiny monthly bill alongside the substantial year-end contribution.
Benn Kovco had a PV system installed by Energy Solutions a few years ago and walked away very satisfied. He found communication effortless, and the crew finished the job on schedule and for the price they initially quoted. That reliability prompted him to recommend Energy Solutions to several friends. The clear communication and firm price stood out as the reason he passed their name along.
Jake and Esme were shopping for a high-quality solar setup for their home and chose Energy Solutions after finding the best price for the system they wanted. They discovered the installation crew was top-notch and finished the job in less than a week, and the company made the whole process unusually simple. Now, a year after activation, the array has performed flawlessly with no problems — a quick install that has continued to deliver exactly as promised.
Ken Rait chose the company for a turnkey solar install after they offered the most reasonable estimate while using high-quality panels. He watched the crew finish on schedule and ended up with a system that has run flawlessly for nearly two years. When one question came up during that time, the team responded quickly and resolved it immediately. What lingered for him was the combination of fair pricing, dependable equipment, on-time delivery, and prompt service when needed.
