Sol Solutions Today isn't worth the risk. We found a pattern of deceptive sales tactics, beginning with dinner seminars that pressure attendees into same-day decisions on products they don't need. One reviewer with a PhD in sustainability from Yale reported being told her attic had mold (five roofing contractors confirmed it didn't) and pressured to buy a reflective attic blanket that would have compressed her existing insulation, offering zero energy savings. Another paid over $12,000 for a ductless system installed by an unlicensed contractor who abandoned the job after two and a half weeks, leaving the system unusable for heating or cooling more than a year later. The company charged her credit card before work began and the owner refused to make it right. Beyond the aggressive sales practices, we noticed a troubling operational pattern. Multiple reviewers report the company refusing to provide written contracts, going silent after taking payment, and funneling support calls to a generic call center where employees have never met the CEO. Installers showed up in rented U-Hauls claiming the company truck was in the shop, then admitted they didn't own a truck at all.
If you're considering Sol Solutions Today after attending one of their seminars, walk away. The pattern is clear: high-pressure sales of unnecessary products, unlicensed or poorly managed installers, and zero accountability when things go wrong.
Gabriel attended a company dinner to learn about installing solar on his home and left impressed by the presentation, but the in-home visit turned into a high-pressure pitch packed with recommendations that he later discovered were either unnecessary or inaccurate. He ran into a series of claims — the rep insisted the attic was full of mold, pushed a reflective attic blanket, recommended several ductless heat pumps, and suggested a solar attic fan — all tied to an urgent push to sign up for a bundle of add-ons. After getting five independent roofing contractors to inspect the house, he found no mold; contractors also explained the attic blanket would have lost any benefit because installers would compress the existing insulation, and that the solar attic fan wasn’t compatible with the home’s venting and shouldn’t be installed until roof work was complete. The ductless heat pumps stood out as unlikely to pay for themselves or reduce energy use in his situation; a single central heat pump when the current AC dies would make more sense. He ended up purchasing only the solar and a new roof, and was later told the attic blanket the salesman had pushed would have been destroyed during on
In August 2016 Jess purchased a ductless Daikin system from SST for just over $12,000 and expected a straightforward upgrade to her ranch-style home. Instead, the owner hired an unlicensed contractor who clearly didn’t know what he was doing; after about two and a half weeks the installer walked off the job and left a chaotic, half-finished installation. She ended up having to secure new financing to try to fix the mess, because the partial work contained too many installation errors to function properly. More than a year later the heating and cooling still don’t operate correctly, a lawsuit is pending, and the owner has refused to make it right — she even calls him a "shyster." The concrete takeaway: she’s heading into court while facing another freezing winter without a working heater.
Jan tried to hire the company and discovered the team would "put nothing in writing." After handing over payment, they stopped answering emails and phone calls and left the deal without a written contract. The combination of silence and refusal to document terms made the whole interaction feel very fishy — unlike any contractor experience they had before. The takeaway: the company accepted money but provided no contractual paperwork or reliable follow-up, so insist on a signed contract and documented communication before paying.

Charles and his wife attended a Sol Solutions Today presentation that walked them through practical ways to make a home more energy efficient and improve indoor air quality, watching products demonstrated as Jamie explained how each one worked. He made the crawl space — uninsulated and suffering from poor circulation — the top priority. A work crew led by Andrew arrived on time, each team member introduced himself, and Andrew walked them through the plan so they knew what to expect. The crew installed 1,800 square feet of Performance Blanket insulation, added a crawl-space solar ventilation system, and finished with a fogging treatment. Charles received photos of the completed work, and cleanup met his wife’s approval. What stuck with him was the crew’s punctuality, Andrew’s clear walkthrough of the work, and the before-and-after photos that confirmed the job had been done thoroughly.

After Sol Solutions fitted solar fans at his home, Seng Choy discovered an irritating noise and called the company. They answered promptly and sent Chris and an associate the same day. Chris climbed into the attic, inspected the installation and reinforced one fan with a piece of insulating material, but when the fans were off the noise continued; he quickly realized the sound wasn’t coming from the attic. The crew then checked the crawl-space fan, found it bolted to a floor joist, and reinstalled it onto a vertical beam. With all fans running, the irritating noises disappeared. Chris worked with a friendly, courteous manner, put everything back where it belonged, and left Seng Choy with the clear takeaway that careful troubleshooting and remounting the crawl-space fan actually solved the problem.
Kathy attended a free dinner presentation and ended up choosing the company after a thorough in-home visit. A company representative came out, walked her through the costs and benefits in plain terms, and helped her decide on the scope of work. The crew installed crawl space insulation, a crawl space solar fan, and a roof solar vent/fan; they were polite, worked cleanly, and left the property tidy. The equipment has been performing as promised — the standout detail was the smooth handoff from a clear presentation to careful installation and cleanup.
Micheal R. signed up for a residential solar install and quickly discovered the system failed on the basics: the roof-mounted fans needed direct sunlight and did not store energy for cloudy days as promised. Jamie, who acted as both the main sales rep and CEO, had assured him — and the installers repeated the same line — that the fans would bank unused power for less sunny periods, but in practice the devices stopped working whenever sunlight waned. When he sought support, he ran into an outsourced call center that kept transferring him to agents who apparently hadn’t met the CEO, making help effectively unreachable. The company charged his credit card before anyone showed up; when a crew finally arrived they pulled up in a rented U‑Haul saying the company truck was “in the shop,” and he later learned the firm didn’t even own its own vehicle. The job was supposed to take a day or two but was rescheduled four times and dragged out, and the polished sales pitch never translated into clear communication with the installers or delivery on key promises. He ended up with equipment that shuts down in low light, poor customer service, upfront billing, and a Better Business Bureau rating of
Chrash700 attended Sol Solutions’ dinner at Anthony’s and came away impressed — good food and no hard sell. Jamie distilled several complicated solar and energy topics into short, easy-to-understand explanations, which made the options feel manageable. Rick performed a site energy audit, blending professionalism with a friendly, conversational approach, and walked through multiple ways to save energy before customizing recommendations for the house. The pressure-free, tailored guidance turned a confusing set of choices into a clear plan, and they decided to move ahead with both insulation and solar panels.
Josh L took a job installing a ductless heat pump for Sol Solutions and ended up not being paid for the work. When he pressed for payment and prepared to pursue legal action, owner Jamie Skaar responded by saying he knew where Josh lived. Jamie also refused to pay the electrician who had done work on the same project. On top of that, Jamie tried to sell a solar system to the homeowner even though Sol Solutions did not hold an electrical contractor’s license. What stuck with him was being left unpaid and confronted with a threatening response, plus the concern that the company was marketing electrical work without the proper license.
Leah Kellogg hired the company while pursuing energy upgrades for her home and came away convinced they pushed unnecessary work. She found their sales pitch stacked with add-ons she didn’t need and discovered a local contractor could have handled the insulation for a fraction of the price they quoted. She concluded the owner was untrustworthy and warned others about what she called “snake oil” sales tactics. Her takeaway: get independent bids—especially for insulation—because she paid far more than local contractors would have charged.
