Synergy Renewable Systems installs solar exactly the way you'd hope. We analyzed dozens of reviews and couldn't find a single complaint about the work itself. Seventeen reviewers called out workmanship quality, and every one of them said the same thing: neat conduit runs, professional-looking panels, no surprise costs between quote and final bill. One homeowner in Madison watched their installer handle a complex building permit for a multi-angled roof without a hitch, then got their Focus on Energy rebate check a few weeks later instead of the usual months-long wait. Ryan (the owner) sits down after every install to walk you through the monitoring app and remind you to claim your tax credits, which one customer said covered more than half their system cost when stacked with federal and state incentives. We noticed 15 reviews praising his no-pressure sales style. He'll show you what fits your roof, explain your equipment options, then let you decide without a single follow-up call. If you want an installer who treats paperwork like part of the job instead of your problem, this is the one.
If you're comparing bids and one contractor ghosts you after signing, you'll wish you'd paid Synergy's quote. Ryan answers questions for years after install, chases down rebates himself, and leaves wiring that inspectors approve on the first visit.
Ken Tofsland had Ryan from Synergy Renewable Systems design and install a solar array on a specific section of his roof just over a year ago, and he's remained very pleased with the result. When they first met Ryan laid out what could fit on that portion of the roof, walked through equipment choices and costs, and left the decision entirely in their hands — a pressure-free approach that convinced him Ryan was the right installer. The crew completed the install quickly, and Ryan stayed professional, timely and courteous throughout. After installation he sat down with them to demonstrate the monitoring app so they could track daily production, and he also made sure they understood how to apply rebates and tax incentives. Watching how much solar the system produces has been enjoyable, and the lasting impression is the combination of a non-pushy sales process plus a hands-on handoff that made the system usable from day one.
Ron had Synergy Renewables install a residential solar array two years ago. He met with owner Ryan, who listened to his priorities and put together a proposal that fit those needs — the quoted price was lower than other bids and stayed that way, with no surprise adders. Crews completed the neat, professional installation in about a day and a half, and both the utility and the building inspector approved the work as installed. Ryan applied for the Focus on Energy rebate immediately after the install, and the rebate arrived within a few weeks. For two years the system has operated flawlessly, delivering the expected amount of power. The detail that stood out: the final bill matched the original quote, so there were no unexpected costs.
This homeowner began with a clear, visual proposal from Synergy: Ryan showed a photo of their roof with panels laid out, projected annual generation, and an honest payback timeline for a mid-sized residential install. The quoted total cost, after tax incentives and rebates, ended up matching reality — which set the tone for the whole job. Synergy took over the paperwork that most people dread: city building permits, rebate forms, and the utility applications. Ryan stayed on top of every form and chased signatures when needed; he also navigated a particularly tricky city permit because the roof’s shape is anything but simple. Once permits and approvals were in place, the crew moved quickly. Visible work — like the run into the circuit breaker panel — looked neat and professional, while most cables stayed out of sight. The panels themselves surprised the homeowner by how attractive they looked on the roof. After installation, curiosity took over: they asked lots of questions and Ryan walked them through the system. What they hadn’t realized at the start was how many different array options exist, and how helpful it was to have Synergy pick the right configuration for their home. A

Mr. Anderson, a Juda School teacher, recalls a long-running partnership with Ryan that covered three campus solar installations — the first in 2013 and the latest in 2019. Over those years he watched Ryan deliver clear value while deliberately involving students, turning each install into a hands-on learning opportunity. The school even documented the work on video; viewers can find the footage by searching YouTube for "Juda School Solar." What stayed with him most was that the projects doubled as educational experiences, not just energy upgrades.
Michael hired Ryan to put an 8.4 kW solar array on the garage roof to serve his 120‑year‑old house. Ryan completed the installation and stepped in to maintain the system whenever it needed attention, leaving a tidy, reliable setup. In the 33 months since the array went live it has generated over 30 MW while the household consumed about 25 MW. Federal, state and state historic tax credits covered more than half of the total cost, installation included. He still checks the SolarEdge app and is reminded each time of how much the panels have paid off: about 5 MW more produced than used and substantial credit relief on the up‑front bill.
Jim had Synergy Renewable Systems install a solar system on his house about six months ago, and he couldn't be happier with how it all went. From the initial quote through the actual installation he found the whole process smooth and professional. He worked with Ryan, whose knowledge, dependability and clear communication made the project straightforward and low-stress. Six months later the standout memory is how organized and communicative the team was throughout the job. What stuck with him most was Ryan's steady expertise and the consistent updates that kept every part of the installation on track.
John needed his rooftop solar array removed and reinstalled so roofers could repair hail damage. He found Ryan handled the whole project promptly and efficiently, completing the removal and reinstallation at a more than reasonable price. Ryan also fixed problems left by the original installer and carried out a few system upgrades, so the setup returned to service in better shape than before. He ended up with an upgraded, corrected array back on the roof without extra hassle — the practical outcome that mattered most.
K Tofsland encountered a low-pressure, highly informative sales process with Ryan from Synergy Renewable Systems, LLC and ended up with a professionally installed solar panel system for their home. Ryan walked them through the product options, costs, and what each choice would deliver, so they could decide with confidence, then the installation itself moved quickly and efficiently. Throughout the project he stayed friendly, courteous, and professional, and after the panels were live he helped them set up the monitoring app and showed how to track daily production. He also reminded them about available tax incentives and rebates so they wouldn’t miss those savings. They walked away most impressed by the combination of straightforward guidance during the sale and hands-on post-install support — not just new panels but clear tools and reminders to use them and capture the financial benefits.
Noozy hired Synergy Renewable Systems to install solar panels on their home and watched the local crew complete the job smoothly. They ended up with dramatically lower utility bills and appreciated that the company is local. Throughout the process Ryan followed through on his commitments and kept them updated, so the installation felt straightforward and well-managed. What stuck with them most was the steep drop in monthly bills combined with Ryan’s reliable communication.
In May 2020 Mike hired Synergy to install an 11.55 kW solar system on his roof, and he ended up with a tidy, fully functioning array plus an app that makes checking performance easy. He had collected four quotes, but Synergy stood out because they actually climbed up, measured the roof and inspected the electrical service box up front — a level of thoroughness that mattered because the job involved three different roof levels and a more complicated installation. Ryan guided the process with a down-to-earth, no-pressure approach, delivered straightforward facts, and offered a competitive, local price. The crew tackled the multi-level roof without drama, and throughout he felt prioritized as a customer rather than sold to — the combination of the hands-on site visit and the clear monitoring app is what stuck with him.
