Green Solar Technologies reviews

The Verdict
Green Solar Technologies isn't worth the risk. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a company whose post-installation support has collapsed. One homeowner paid nearly $20,000 for a system that shattered in snow after less than a year because the installer left bolts sticking up through the middle of the panels. When two insurance engineers confirmed improper installation, the company sent the complaint straight to their legal team without fixing anything. Another customer hired them for a bundled roof and solar package, only to discover the roofer had licensing issues that took two months to sort out, then the new roof leaked four months later. The electrician mislabeled the breaker panel to pass inspection and wired it so badly the AC unit nearly blew up. Reimbursement for the $550 repair? Never came. We found 161 complaints about follow-up support and 168 mentions of poor value. The workmanship score is the one bright spot, driven by reviews from 2017-2018 when local subcontractors did solid installations. But recent patterns show management now bills prematurely, ignores damage claims, and stops answering once the contract is signed. If you're gambling on solar, bet on a company that still picks up the phone after install day.
If you need a solar installer who'll actually fix their mistakes, cross Green Solar Technologies off your list. We found too many recent cases of roof damage, electrical errors, and vanishing support after payment clears.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Diana W. paid nearly $20,000 for a rooftop solar installation that failed in under a year. She discovered the panels had shattered after snowfall, and when AAA sent two engineers to inspect, they concluded the collapse resulted from improper installation — with bolts protruding through the middle of the modules — and denied her insurance claim because even a small amount of snow would have crushed them. Green Solar never returned to the property in the two years since the panels broke, and instead routed the complaint to its legal department without attempting a repair or offering compensation. Frustrated and out of pocket, she is now moving toward legal action; the image that stayed with her was the engineers pointing out the bolts through the panels’ centers and saying that the array was set up to fail under snow.
Karen had installed solar on her primary home several years earlier without issue, so when the family’s second house — a two-hour drive away — needed a system she returned to the same company. Because the roof and the electrical panel both had to be replaced, the company offered a bundled package that seemed reasonable and convenient. Trouble began when the roofer ran into licensing problems that took about two months to clear, but the worst problems showed up after the job: four months later the roof started to leak. The electrician had wired the panel incorrectly and nearly fried the central air; an AC repair cost $550 and the promised reimbursement never materialized. She found the panel improperly labeled so the AC tech couldn’t even locate the correct breaker, and the crew had drilled the grounding cable into the patio door frame — work she thought even her nine-year-old grandson could have done more professionally. The electrician explained he’d just labeled whatever was necessary to pass inspection and, being two hours away, hadn’t ensured the markings were accurate, expecting the inspector wouldn’t check closely. The end result: a paid invoice but a leaking roof, unsafe and
Bill H. pursued a residential solar installation and ended up rating the company four stars after a roller-coaster experience. He found Letticia Escobar helpful in early email and phone exchanges, but the first salesman, Carl, insulted him over an existing electric contract and abruptly cut the call — an experience that left him frustrated. Customer service from GST stepped in after that and listened to his complaints, then Gerry, a second salesman, provided clear information and convinced him solar was the right move; the contract was handled quickly and electronically. A project manager arranged a site visit and ordered materials, and the installation crew turned up competent and workmanlike, mounting the panels and inverter cleanly. The installers promised an online monitoring link but didn’t send it, and a subsequent change in project managers introduced poor follow-up: the new manager gave his cell number, missed two calls, returned one with only partial answers, and never returned a later voicemail. By then Bill had about six pressing questions — warranty, income tax paperwork, online monitoring and the like — and his confidence in project management had worn thin. Aboutthree

What You Can Expect
Mary H. had trusted this company twice — they put solar on her California home years ago, and she bought another system from them in 2022 after moving to Pennsylvania. When her roof needed replacement this year, she reached out repeatedly for help and never got a return call. She even sent a registered letter to the address listed on the company website, only to have it returned because the company apparently doesn’t have an office there. After relying on them again, she ended up regretting the decision: no responses and a returned registered letter were the clearest evidence that support was effectively unavailable.
Larry, retired and not paying income taxes, went into the purchase expecting one clear win: the salesman assured him he would get about $9,000 back from the government. That refund never materialized. He discovered a repair technician on site for reasons he couldn’t track down, and the tech revealed the solar system had not been working for roughly a year. About two years ago the company agreed to swap the system from 3G to 5G, but when that upgrade surfaced Larry was told he would have to pay for it — despite a contract that assigns responsibility for everything inside the inverter box to the company under warranty. He kept trying to reach them afterward and found no one answering phone calls. The image that sticks: a retired buyer promised a large government credit he couldn’t claim, an apparently year-long outage, and a disputed inverter upgrade covered by the warranty — all with customer service unreachable.
Lacey bought a solar system for her home in 2019 and expected steady service afterwards. Two years in she discovered a bait-and-switch around the system’s monitoring: the promised monitoring relied on a $1,000 module that only arrived after repeated requests, and the company finally installed it after a five-month wait. Last month the inverter went out and the company never informed her—she uncovered the outage herself and couldn’t get anyone on the phone, because support seems to answer only when someone is looking to buy. Frustrated and feeling abandoned, she plans to pursue legal action; the long delay for the $1,000 monitoring part and the silent inverter failure are the details she keeps bringing up.
