Pure Solar Power isn't worth the risk. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a company that leaves projects incomplete, ignores customer calls for months, and hands out bad equipment.

Suncrest Solar isn't a company you can trust with your money. This review should be short because the facts are straightforward: the company filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and sold off its customer contracts to other installers. Before that collapse, dozens of homeowners reported billing chaos, system

We found a company that uses spoofed local numbers to flood homeowners with sales calls, then hangs up when you ask basic questions like their office address. In one review, a California representative claiming to work for Green Energy Group couldn't provide a street address and hung up mid-conversa

This company will leave you stranded. We found dozens of stories that follow the same grim pattern: breakdowns happen, you report them, and then you simply cannot get anyone on the phone.

One homeowner lost two years of her life to a botched installation that began with deception after her husband's death, left nails scattered across her yard that punctured two tires, and ended with tarps and bricks blowing around on a leaking roof that

Tesla Energy is gambling with your home.

One homeowner paid $78.69 into their utility's cre

Another was promised roof-repair support if panels ever needed removal, only to hit a wall of unanswered emails for t

Sunworks poses a clear risk. Over the past decade, customers report a company that overpromises and under-delivers, then vanishes when the system fails.
