"I became interested in renewables in general, and solar power specifically, when I learned about the risk posed by climate change. There was a time when the only reason to go solar was to help the environment. Today, the economics have changed dramatically, and solar power is not just cleaner power, it is also cheaper power!"

“Our experience with Solar Enegy World was terrific, from beginning to end. The sales rep explained everything including al of our options and the whole process went exactly as he said it would. The schedulers kept us fully informated. The installation team was wonderful. They had to come back to finish the EV installation that we also purchased although we don't have a plug-in car yet, but it made sense to do it now since we know our next car will be one. Finally, they took care of all of the licensiong and coordination with our power company, which occurred while we were on vacation. It was an awesome day when we got the call from Solar Energy World to "Turn it on" and we began to generate power!”

“I was pleased with the actual installation. I feel the salesperson could have been better and had concerns about installing solar panels on a flat roof. This concern was voiced to the salesman several times, and he could have described the system used on the roof—it could have been handled better. At the end of the contracting process, I had made it clear to the salesperson several times that we probably would want to install more panels than needed for our electrical consumption. We talked about 21 panels, and he called, saying the 21 panels would exceed our consumption, but we could have up to 29 panels. I told him I would think about it, and then I told him we wanted to go to 25 panels. My problem is that the marginal price for the additional panels is more than the average price of the original panels. I feel the price was inflated on the last few panels because they knew I wanted them.”

“Solar energy was super from initial introduction to final installation. They kept me fully informed going through the process. Installation was efficiently done in one day and installers were pleasant in explaining what they were doing. There was one small item that needed fixing and they responded in hours to complete the task. I could not be happier with this experience and highly recommend them.”

“Everyone I dealt with at Solar Energy World was professional, informative and polite. I was kept apprised of the status and I knew I could always communicate with my sales rep with any questions. I added the critter guards late in the game and they were able to deal with this and give me the proper invoicing. My solar panels look great and I look forward to watching my electric bills go down!”

“Let me first say, I am not one to write reviews. However, based on my experience with the forward facing Solar Energy World sales/project lead and service department, I feel compelled to do so. There were bright spots in my experience that I hope to highlight in my review, such as the installation crew's professionalism and thoughtful responses from the engineering team. I also intend to provide some recommendations that would have improved my experience, mainly simple acknowledgement of inquires, timely communication of status requests, and data/documentation informed answers. Generally, the customer service has been poor post-install. Simple questions regarding how the solar and monitoring systems operate once installed have been met with short or incomplete explanations from our Solar Analyst and the Monitoring department. It takes numerous attempts to gain sufficient and complete answers to clearly articulated questions, often requiring direct communications with the engineering team or constant follow ups. Here are the most egregious examples: 1) After installation, it was noticed that GoodWe inverters were installed on our system rather than what was stated on our contract, Solar Edge. Instead of providing a straight forward explanation with appropriate documentation, which essentially ended up being an error by the Sales Associate, it took nearly a month of constant requests and a series of tepid responses from our Sales Associate to resolve the discrepancy. Finally, I had to reach out directly to the design engineer to get a technical explanation, and then personally review the engineering drawings (and associated revision dates) to ensure the original system was based on GoodWe inverters and that we weren't being given subpar equipment. The coy and delayed responses made the discrepancy seem intentional and dishonest, rather than in error, which was the case. This should have been handled promptly, particularly since contractually SEW was obligated to provide us that particular brand of inventor and was therefore in breach. 2) Since the system has been in operation, one of our inverters has been periodically throwing a fault. This should not be happening on a brand new system. Several requests have been made to the service department and our analyst over the past 3 weeks. I was told someone was going to get me on the service schedule. I have yet to be contacted and the faults keep randomly occurring. This is extremely frustrating given the system just went operational and is not performing as designed or reliably.”

“My salesperson was no longer working for the company during my project, and then someone else took over. The installers were great, but no one has really followed up with me other than with texts. I didn't even know the system was on. However, once I figured it out, everything is working fine. The company was nice, but I would have liked a bit more follow up.”
