Forme Solar reviews
• last updated FEB 26, 2026Loading map...
The Verdict
Forme Solar makes the whole solar process feel manageable, even when things go sideways. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found two patterns worth knowing. First, 124 customers described a genuinely smooth experience from quote to install, with one homeowner noting the crew finished 14 panels in a single day and left everything cleaner than they found it. But 45 reviews mention post-install hiccups, mostly around battery systems and monitoring glitches. Here's what sets Forme apart: when an inspection delay or wiring mistake happens, they answer the phone. One customer paid out-of-pocket twice for fixes and Forme reimbursed both times without pushback. Another had eight panels go offline 18 months post-install and the service team resolved it in under two weeks, tracking down a manufacturing defect in the rooftop junction box. (If you've ever dealt with a contractor who ghosts you after cashing the check, you know how rare that follow-through is.) The company uses LG panels and Enphase inverters, publishes ballpark pricing on their website before you hand over contact info, and handles the permit circus themselves. Multiple reviews confirm bills dropped from $240 to near-zero after install.
If you want the absolute cheapest quote and zero risk of delays, keep shopping. But if you value a company that'll still pick up the phone two years later when a microinverter fails, Forme Solar is worth the premium.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
James Q. had his solar system for about a year and a half when eight panels suddenly went offline. He contacted Forme, who diagnosed a manufacturing flaw in a rooftop metal junction box: the weather seal on one piece had started to crack, letting rain in and causing a short circuit. Forme organized the repair quickly — the whole problem was traced and fixed within 1.5 weeks, including work over weekends — a turnaround he called priceless. Bobby stayed unusually attentive throughout the process, keeping him updated after all those years, and the service team handled the on-roof work cleanly and efficiently. The concrete outcome: the eight panels were restored and the company stood behind the installation instead of passing the buck — the speed of the fix and Bobby’s ongoing communication are what stuck with him.
Zach chased a good price and initially contracted a Tesla rooftop system for his tile-roof home, only to have the installer drop the project four weeks in — a last-minute cancellation that left him frustrated after a month of evasive answers. He then found Forme Solar and worked with Nick, who answered promptly, laid out why Tesla walks away from anything beyond the simplest installs, and offered a clear, numbers-first plan focused on ROI. They ultimately scaled the array down, which reduced the total project cost to less than what Zach had been quoted by Tesla, and the installation proceeded smoothly. A year after commissioning, the panels are producing enough that the household consumes most of what it generates and rarely pays a power bill. The standout detail: Nick and the Forme team traded evasive salesmanship for transparent guidance and pragmatic sizing, delivering near-zero electricity costs after a year.
Jon V. picked Forme out of eight bids for a 14-panel system with an Enphase battery and began working closely with Bobby to get the project moving. He found the proposal competitive if not the cheapest, and Bobby stayed on top of communications throughout. The solar portion went smoothly: installers arrived on schedule one morning and finished mounting all 14 panels by the afternoon. The battery, however, turned into the sticking point — its installation stretched to just under a month, which delayed inspections and pushed permission to operate (PTO) more than a month past the original estimate. A separate issue with the main panel wiring required a quick correction that shouldn’t have been necessary. Whenever questions or problems came up, he reached out and Forme responded promptly; on two occasions he paid for fixes out of pocket and the company reimbursed him afterward. He came away impressed with their responsiveness and honesty, and would use Forme for panel installation and ongoing support — but he’d want to see more refined, higher-volume battery installs from them before entrusting a backup battery again.

Joseph Y. first put solar on his home in 2018 and then hired Forme in 2022 to add more panels. When the original SolarEdge inverter from the 2018 system failed while still under warranty, the installer who did that first job refused to replace it because Joseph had used Forme for the 2022 work. Forme stepped up: they secured the replacement inverter from SolarEdge and handled the install themselves. His 2022 Forme rep, Bobby, stayed attentive through the whole process, and technicians Nilda, Chris and Jorge carried out the installation and troubleshooting. He appreciated that Forme took on the warranty logistics another company declined and completed the repair cleanly — the standout detail being that Forme sourced the inverter from the manufacturer and finished the job when the original installer would not.
Cecile B. invested in a rooftop solar system more than a year ago under a contract that guaranteed a specific level of energy production. After a year the array delivered less than the guaranteed output, and for three months she has been chasing a resolution—sending emails and trying to reach Terry—only to find the company responsive before payment but largely silent once they had her money. The shortfall on a sizable investment left her frustrated and regretting the decision to go with Forme Solar. In an update directed at Leanne, she pointed out that her contract is with Forme Solar (not PickMySolar) and reminded the team that Terry had promised to add panels at no extra cost if production fell short. She is now waiting for Forme Solar to follow through on that promise and resolve the underperformance.
