Skytech Solar reviews

The Verdict
Skytech Solar looked like a solid pick for years, but recent reviews reveal a company struggling to stay afloat. One homeowner watched 30 percent of their system go offline two years after installation; Skytech argued about warranty coverage for weeks before finally sending a tech who fixed it in minutes and admitted the original install was sloppy. When the same panels failed again two years later, the owner told them the company had shut down and could only provide a referral to a third-party contractor at full price. We found a pattern of disorganization and vanishing support once payment clears. In one case, a crew showed up with the wrong inverter, installed a defective replacement, then stopped responding to emails after the homeowner paid in full. The system sat broken for over a month. Twelve reviews describe poor communication, unresolved outages, and difficulty reaching anyone for warranty help. The bright spot is older installations from 2016 to 2019, where 24 customers praised low-pressure sales, knowledgeable staff, and installations finished in a single day. But that version of Skytech appears to be gone.
If you're researching Skytech, know that multiple 2024 and 2025 reviews report the company has ceased operations and stopped honoring warranties. Even if you find someone still willing to quote a job, the risk of being stuck with a broken system and no support is too high. Look elsewhere.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
David had a smooth, confident experience when Skytech installed his residential solar array about ten years ago — he even referred neighbors who had similarly positive installs. A decade later, when he needed service, he discovered the company was difficult to reach. After a lot of back-and-forth, Skytech addressed some microinverter problems but a technician mis-entered monitoring data, so he can no longer track panel-level performance. Communication then broke down: calls and emails went unanswered. When he posted a critical review, Skytech offered to waive service charges if he removed it; wanting a small local company to succeed, he paid for the repairs himself and received only partial results. What lingers for him is a working array but unreliable long-term support and a persistent monitoring error that the installer left unresolved.
Jake D. chose a local installer even though they weren’t the cheapest option because he wanted to support the community. About two years after the ranch-style home’s system went up, he discovered roughly 30% of the array had gone offline. After weeks of back-and-forth over contractual obligations and a request for replacement microinverters from the manufacturer, the installer finally showed up, fixed the problem quickly and confirmed what Jake had suspected: the original installation had been done poorly, not that the hardware had failed. Two years after that repair, roughly the same portion of the system stopped producing again. When Jake asked for service, the owner blamed the NEM3 changes and informed him the company had gone out of business; they offered only a reference for paid third‑party support. That left Jake facing the prospect of arranging outside repairs despite carrying a 10‑year service warranty. The most striking detail: the company admitted sloppy installation the first time and made a fast fix, then vanished before honoring the warranty the second time — leaving him regretting the decision to favor a local provider over the lower‑cost national installers.
Russell Q. returned to Skytech in 2022 after a 2016 rooftop install had been performing fine, and he agreed to add eight panels plus a second inverter for what turned into roughly a $10K project. He quickly discovered the interaction turned messy: Colin, the owner, called relentlessly during negotiations—12+ phone calls—and handled almost everything by phone while emails went largely ignored. The draft contract arrived with multiple errors that favored the company and required correction before he would sign. When the crew showed up in early August, they seemed friendly but had no awareness of the many specifics Russell had already worked out with Colin (including photos he had sent). They brought a 6 kW inverter instead of the agreed-upon 3.8 kW unit, and the install stretched over two days. During the work they found the 2016 system’s rooftop piping coming apart at the joints, exposing insulated wiring to the elements; the team discussed coming back to fix it but framed the repair as difficult. Physically the new panels looked fine, and a third visit happened within the week to sort out an optimizer issue from 2016—but the tech discovered that the optimizer was integrated to,

K. P. had a rooftop solar array installed years earlier and recently discovered one panel was producing noticeably less power than the others. They scheduled a troubleshooting visit with Skytech Solar, and technician John Weigel arrived to diagnose and fix the problem. He handled the repair professionally and took time to explain, in plain terms, what had caused the underperformance. They walked away grateful for the clear explanation and effective repair and plan to recommend Skytech Solar to friends.
