Neil Kelly
Neil Kelly is too inconsistent to trust with your money. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a company with two completely different personalities. On one side, scores of homeowners rave about seamless kitchen remodels, attentive designers, and crews who hit schedules to the day. On the other,
Prolectric
This company is currently in collapse, and you should not work with them under any circumstances. We found multiple 2025 reviews documenting a systematic pattern of failure: Prolectric took full payments from customers, never pulled permits, stopped responding to calls, and in at least one case left
Tesla
Tesla delivers polished installations but stumbles badly on communication and support. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and found a clear split: the crews who show up at your house are excellent, but getting help before or after that visit is a gamble. One homeowner waited a year from application to

We found a company with strong installation crews but crippling support failures that can leave you paying for a broken system. One couple spent two years calling for a battery replacement, paying $200 a month for equipment that produced nothing while their electricity bills climbed back to $200 eac
Sunrun
Sunrun will charge you while your panels sit broken. We analyzed thousands of reviews and found a company plagued by systemic breakdowns that leave customers trapped in multi-year cycles of non-functioning systems and finger-pointing. One homeowner reported paying $111 monthly for over a year while
Tesla Energy
Tesla Energy is gambling with your home. We analyzed thousands of reviews and found a company that can't activate systems, miscalculates energy production, and leaves customers trapped in 20-year leases with higher bills than before they went solar. One homeowner paid $78.69 into their utility's cre
