Solar Technologies reviews

David vetted three installers and picked Solar Technologies for a rooftop SunPower system—not because they were cheapest, but because their reputation, the sales meeting, and the product line stood out. A year after installation, the most convincing result showed up: their 101% first-year production estimate hit the mark, and his PG&E true-up came back negative $26, meaning the system actually produced slightly more energy than the household used. From the start the sales conversation focused on what made the company different rather than knocking competitors. He and the team spent time mapping panel placement and the new junction box; David pressed for a tidy look and asked that conduit and boxes be hidden so the roof would show only panels. The crew agreed to route wiring through the attic and tuck converters under the arrays after inspecting the space, and they patiently supplied the data he requested as the design was finalized. Work began on a rainy day with two workers handling prep that could be done inside, which mattered because he was working from home and needed minimal disruption. When the weather cleared a larger crew arrived and placed the panels within hours; one

Andrew D. had a brand-new rooftop system installed around 2016 by SkyPower Solar, a company later acquired and now marketed as A Solar Technologies Company. When roughly nine LG panels started failing in spring/summer 2024, he called the acquirer for service and discovered they refused to honor the original SkyPower warranty and charged him about $800 just to troubleshoot. Technicians identified the failing LG modules and said LG’s warranty should cover replacements; LG still had inventory at that point and offered either direct replacement panels or a credit toward alternatives. Over several months, Solar Technologies’ poor follow-through with LG let the stock run out and left only the credit option, which LG indicated had been or would be issued to the distributor. After repeated follow-ups by Andrew, no credit ever appeared and he hasn’t heard back from the company; nearly eight months after his first call the solar array remains broken even though it was under warranty when he first reached out. The most striking detail: he paid for troubleshooting up front and ended up months later with the same broken, warrantied array and no resolution.

After a full year running a 16-panel SunPower system on his large house with two air conditioners and a pool, Charles discovered the installation delivered better-than-expected results. He had waited a year to judge not just the sales and installation process but the internet monitoring, system reliability and actual savings — and found zero issues since startup and almost 8% more electricity production than the original forecast. Solar Technologies had warned their modeling was conservative and that SunPower panels could yield 5–6% more energy; the system exceeded even that. He chose Solar Technologies after comparing competitive quotes, receiving a referral from an energy professional, and working with consultant Nick Bahrenburg, who provided clear technical explanations, sophisticated modeling and patient follow-up in the week or two before he committed. The installation team behaved professionally, getting his approval on equipment and wire placement, painting conduit to match the house and cleaning the site daily. He now uses the web-based monitoring on his PC, iPad and iPhone to pull hourly-to-monthly production charts at a glance. Because Nick sized the array to target theגב
