“I contacted the company because my system was not working, and my solar company had gone out of business. They immediately contacted me and walked me through resetting and troubleshooting my system. They recommended companies to help get my system back up and running. I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed that they were willing to spend so much time helping me even though I do not have an account with them. There are still great people and companies willing to help others out even if they are not clients! Thank you, Valerie, for sharing so much information and support!” – Meagan Patterson

“Great customer service! I called because my solar panel installers went out of business and I didn’t know what to do. The lady I spoke with (can’t recall her name, sorry), but she answered all my questions, sent me detailed text messages explaining her answers and also explained what to say to the buyers of my home I’m trying to sell. Great company and perfect advice and knowledge!” – Brandon Decker
