The Verdict

Sun Dollar Solar runs a tight operation that homeowners still remember fondly years after installation. One reviewer who went solar four years ago still calls the owner, Jason, with concerns and gets help sent out the same day, no questions asked. We found 18 reviewers praising the quality of the install itself, and the detail work sets Sun Dollar apart from competitors in the same neighborhoods. Two electricians independently singled out the conduit routing: Sun Dollar hides all the wiring through attics and garages while larger installers leave exposed pipes snaking up the roof and down exterior walls. Jason also designs systems around real-world use patterns, like time-of-use billing or EV charging, not just square footage. One negative review from 2023 accused the crew of poor communication after payment and leaving footprints on panels, so ask for photos of completed projects and hold final payment until the system goes live. (If you enjoy spotting which neighbor cheaped out on their install, you'll appreciate the aesthetic difference.)

If you want an installer who'll still answer your call four years later when something stops working, Sun Dollar Solar delivers that reliability. Just insist on a clear payment schedule tied to milestones, not upfront lump sums.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Valerie H.
YelpDec 6, 2024

Valerie had solar panels installed about four years ago and ended up with no regrets. Jason, the owner, walked her through every question and made her feel secure about the purchase. Over the years she turned to him with concerns, and he consistently arranged help on her behalf—"no questions asked." The detail that sticks: years after installation the owner remained personally responsive, which kept her confidence in Sun Dollar Solar.

In December detvguy bought a new Tesla and quickly discovered his monthly electric bill would balloon unless he did something. He shopped several solar quotes and connected with Jason from Sun Dollar, who designed a system scaled specifically for the high usage an EV adds — Jason owning a Tesla himself helped him size the array appropriately. Jason and Devon handled the installation, and he appreciated their professionalism and the tidy craftsmanship. As a trained electrician who compares work closely, he inspected nearby installs and found Sun Dollar’s work “night and day” better: all the inverters and equipment were tucked inside his garage and the wiring was concealed, whereas competitors left exposed conduit across the roof and down the side of the garage. He urges prospective buyers to ask to see Jason’s previous jobs if neat, unobtrusive routing matters. The result: a clean-looking installation and a monthly bill that is finally manageable.

Michelle D.
YelpJun 20, 2023

Michelle D. hired Sun Dollar Solar for a rooftop installation and ended up with a drawn-out, stressful project. From the outset she encountered poor communication and delays: the system sat inactive for more than two weeks and only came online after she repeatedly called and followed up. She learned the hard way not to pay until the panels are fully installed and producing power — once payment went through, urgency evaporated and messages went unanswered. The situation turned uncomfortable when a crew member phoned one morning claiming they'd forgotten something and needed access to the house (they have dogs). When she pushed for details, the crew initially tried to mislead her, then admitted they intended to remove an already-installed part from her system to use on another job. Her husband climbed onto the roof to inspect the work and discovered footprints on several panels. Jason had been personable and seemed professional at first; his early promise of “transparency” even led Michelle to give him three referrals, who have since run into problems as well. The most striking details — footprints on the panels and crews taking installed parts for other sites — are what left her

YelpMay 5, 2023

Lisa P. hired Sun Dollar Solar to install a residential system on her home seven years ago and walked away impressed. Jason managed the project with clear, professional communication and handled the work so well that he remains her go-to contact for any follow-up. Over those seven years the system has noticeably cut her electricity bills, producing substantial savings. The most memorable fact for her: Jason is still available whenever she has a question or a problem, years after the install.

Jason Friend
EnergySageMay 3, 2019

Jason has worked with Sun Dollar on several solar projects over the last few years and discovered a rare mix of high-quality craftsmanship, steady professionalism, and a surprisingly fast, thorough work ethic. He watched crews move efficiently while taking the time to walk him through each step so he always knew what to expect. Confident enough to refer them to friends and clients, he then heard back only positive feedback from those referrals. When he talks to someone thinking about solar, his specific takeaway is simple: Sun Dollar completes jobs quickly without cutting corners and explains everything clearly so there are no surprises.
