Perihelion Solar reviews

Aaron Peterson interviewed more than ten solar companies before choosing Perihelion Solar to outfit his ranch-style home. He picked them because they actually listened to what he wanted and built the system he asked for instead of pushing unnecessary upgrades. Installed several years ago, the array has consistently overproduced — he’s accumulated several months’ worth of banked power — and he hasn’t had a single problem or service call since.

Thirteen months after his system went live, David still considers the project a success. He picked Perihelion after they modeled his roof and expected output with solid software, walked him through financing and the tax-credit details without fluff, and specified high-quality panels and inverters. Once Entergy approved the interconnection, installers moved quickly; when he flagged a concern, the crew fixed it the next day and the array has performed without problems since. The most telling detail for him is the numbers: the original agreement projected 15,450 kWh in year one, and the Enphase app recorded roughly 14,800 kWh — about 96% of the estimate. That production still covered his yearly usage, leaving only the unavoidable $12.96 charge from Entergy. His one real nitpick: the installers didn’t secure the cables under the panels, so they’ve collected leaves and debris — something he believes may violate codes in some places. Entergy inspected and approved the installation, though, so it went through without utility objections. Bottom line: he’s pleased with the planning, hardware quality, and follow-up service, and the concrete first-year production and tiny remaining bill

In 2018 Ryan Horn hired Perihelion Solar to put a roof-mounted solar array on his 1970s ranch-style home, and the installation modernized the house exactly the way he had hoped. He experienced service that topped every other home-improvement job he'd dealt with since becoming a homeowner — the crew involved him in decisions and kept him engaged so he truly felt like a partner in the project. The panels and workmanship have met his expectations, and he has remained extremely satisfied with the product. What lingered most from the experience wasn't just the look of the updated roof but the collaborative way the team worked with him throughout the process.

ΦNYX signed on with Perihelion as one of the company’s earliest customers and ended up with an expertly installed solar system on their home. Over the past five years they have relied on Perihelion for ongoing support, experiencing top‑notch service well after the sale. The panels have delivered consistently strong performance across that five‑year stretch, and the lasting post‑installation care is what stood out most.

Nathan hired Andy Barrett and Perihelion Solar to design and install a large residential array in October 2018, and they guided him from initial concept all the way through post-installation analysis. He watched a professional, friendly, and punctual crew that took time to educate him as the project progressed; what distinguished them was a clear commitment to the purpose behind the work as much as the work itself. They built the system beyond minimum specifications for maximum durability, and the finished installation looks sharp — it still draws compliments from neighbors. He walked away with detailed performance data and the reassurance that the overbuilt workmanship and mission-driven approach should keep the array performing well for years.

In spring 2018, btedford hired Perihelion Solar to install a 9.66 kW ground-mounted array at their home. Perihelion partnered with them on selecting components, finding the best array location, and recommending landscaping changes to boost system output, and the crew handled all of the utility hookup paperwork. The company spelled out the timeline and total cost up front, and the actual installation closely matched that projection. Staff stayed friendly and technically knowledgeable, answering every technical question promptly and accurately. The detail that lingered was how hands-on Perihelion was—practical site and landscaping guidance combined with taking the paperwork off the homeowner’s plate made the whole project feel much simpler.

Cody Buford wished he'd known about this company before he bought his solar system. After the installation, he needed a few replacement parts he couldn’t source elsewhere, and Heath — personable and local — stepped in to track them down when no one else could. Heath didn’t have to help, but chose to, and went further by walking Cody through the cost comparison, showing the numbers for what the job would have cost if he'd used Heath from the start. That clear, face‑and‑name alternative to the faceless companies Cody had originally considered made him appreciate the value of a local installer who sticks around. What lingered most was Heath’s willingness to go above and beyond after the sale — a concrete example of customer care that matters to buyers.

Pavith Lovan had solar panels that were originally installed by ADT, a provider that has since gone out of business. When most of the panels went dark and stopped producing power, they called this company for help. The service team patiently walked them through a troubleshooting routine over the phone to verify whether an on-site visit was necessary. That remote troubleshooting uncovered the problem and got the system back to normal, avoiding a few hundred dollars in unnecessary service charges. The detail that stands out is the thorough phone walkthrough that solved the issue without a costly trip from a technician.

Redaily ended up with a professionally installed solar system on their property that has been delivering even more power than the original projections. City code inspectors and the utility moved quickly, signing off without any hold-ups, so the system came online smoothly and started outperforming expectations almost immediately. They discovered another important advantage: Perihelion is one of the few certified installers for the panel manufacturer, which gave extra confidence in the hardware and workmanship. The company delivered a straightforward proposal at a competitive price and deliberately kept financing separate instead of hiding interest in a low-rate loan gimmick. Rather than offer below‑market loan interest, Perihelion folded the real interest cost into the system price and will refer customers to solar‑friendly lenders if needed — a setup that made it much easier for redaily to see the actual cost and compare offers. The detail that stuck with redaily: clear, no‑nonsense pricing and manufacturer certification — paired with better‑than‑expected production — made the whole purchase feel transparent and reliable.
