Evergreen Solar reviews

Asif shopped multiple companies and landed on Evergreen Solar even though their price was only the second-lowest. He picked them because they demonstrated urgency and commitment, and they moved faster to get panels on his roof than the other bidders. The faster timeline mattered: after the install he went more than 2.5 years without receiving a true-up from PG&E while his neighbors kept getting annual reconciliations — a result that left him visibly pleased. He thanked Alex, Haroon and everyone on the team for an unusually smooth transaction, and the standout fact he keeps telling friends is simply that long stretch with no true-up.

David A. shopped three providers a year ago—Evergreen, Tesla and Sunrun—looking for the best fit for a residential solar setup and ultimately chose Evergreen. He found the team moved quickly: permits were pulled fast and installers finished the job just days after the permits came through. Communication stayed straightforward throughout, making the whole process feel streamlined rather than drawn out. The detail that stood out most to him was the Enphase microinverter choice—he appreciated its performance in areas with shade from trees or nearby buildings. He walked away especially impressed by the speedy permitting/installation and the microinverter solution for shaded panels.

AbdullA went solar with Evergreen about a year ago and handled the process directly with Al and Alex. He found both of them kind, patient, and willing to answer every question as the project moved forward. Because several friends had run into surprise one-year true-up bills, he waited a full year before writing to be sure of the outcome — at the one-year mark he received no true-up and actually came away with a credit, exactly as Alex had promised. What stands out most is the combination of clear, hands-on communication and the concrete billing result: a credit instead of an unexpected charge.

Referred to Evergreen by a friend, applemacbook4567 had solar panels fitted a few years ago and has experienced smooth sailing ever since. They ran into no hiccups during the install or afterward, and Evergreen still checks in regularly to confirm everything’s working. What stood out most was the company’s ongoing follow-up long after the job was complete — that steady check-in is why they gave a five-star rating.

Chanelle S. chose Evergreen to install a solar system on her home a year ago and now regards it as one of the best decisions she’s made for the property. She found the price very affordable and the installation itself efficient, with the crew completing the job cleanly and without fuss. Her takeaway: for buyers focused on cost and a straightforward, well-executed install, Evergreen delivered what mattered most.

Hal T. had Evergreen Solar install a pool‑heating system for his backyard pool just over a year ago, and it ended up stretching his swim season by several months. When he noticed a leak at the connection between the solar plumbing and the pool pump last week, he called the company — Evergreen’s crew arrived within days and repaired the problem at no charge. He walked away impressed by how well the system performs and by the prompt, warranty repair visit: the extended pool season plus fast, free service is what made the experience stand out.

Wes B. came into the process already knowing a lot about solar, and he appreciated that the salesperson explained the system in plain, sensible terms and laid out costs, rebates, and timing up front. He signed the paperwork on a Monday and watched the crew have the panels installed by that Friday — a much faster start than friends of his who waited months just to get an install date. The one real hold-up was the local utility (IID), which took nearly five months to sign off on the system. Evergreen managed all the permits and fees, handled the paperwork, and when the utility delay threatened his first finance payment, the company covered two of his payments until the system came online. Communication generally worked well: many texts and calls were answered immediately and the occasional reply took a day, which he found understandable. Evergreen met the contract terms throughout, he has already pointed friends to them, and what lingered as the clearest impression was that the company absorbed those two finance payments during the long IID sign-off.

Veronica K. went solar for two properties — a San Francisco house and a San Mateo home — and ended up with both systems fully installed. She worked with Nick, who patiently walked her through how the panels would operate and predicted that their PG&E bills would disappear; she watched that prediction come true. The whole process moved quickly and felt straightforward, with competitive pricing and attentive service from sale through activation. She wishes they had made the switch sooner, and what sticks with her is Nick’s clear explanations paired with the real, measurable result: no more PG&E charges.

Bernie M. hired Evergreen Solar to install panels about a year and a half ago and ended up with a system that still doesn't operate correctly. He photographed the problems and exchanged back-and-forth text messages asking the company to come fix it, but the issues remain unresolved. He even questions the legitimacy of the installer's electrical license, likening it to something from a "Cracker Jack box," and cannot understand how the company stays in business. The detail that lingers: 18 months after installation he still has nonworking panels, documented photos, and repeated text requests with no effective repair.
