Have had solar for 2.5 yrs now thanks to John. Skeptical at first prior to installation but he answered all of my questions before, during, and after install. Now I pay a fraction of what I used to pay for electricity and fuel. I love charging my EV and running the a/c 24/7 especially during the summer months. The only regret I have is that I should done it a lot sooner. A million thanks to John ! - Mike P.

I was referred to John by a close friend of mine and I couldn’t be happier. John is truly a solar expert. I met with 3 other solar companies before meeting with John and you can tell that this guys knows solar. He set me up with the perfect amount of panels for my home, gave me the correct number of battery storage, and helped me choose the option that best fits my home. He gave regular updates on the project and was always on top of every task that was needed. Make sure you get a consultation from John before moving forward with any other company.

I never write reviews, but John definitely deserves one. I don’t usually do business with door to door sales people, but with the electric rates continuing to increase and no friends in the solar industry, I was a little desperate. And I am so glad that he knocked on my door. John was very knowledgeable and explained the programs in the simplest way. You can tell that he’s genuine and actually cares about your project. And he’s local! He answered all my questions, collaborated with me to build the perfect system size, and was present from start to finish of the project. Before meeting him, I did sit down with another solar company and to be honest, if I went forward with them, I would’ve been so unhappy. I highly suggest you reach out to him and get a consultation before going with any other company. Thanks John!

RJ is a great rep!!! He explained everything thoroughly and in depth. He kept us in the loop with everything and is still keeping us in touch with the project and everything that comes along with it. Recommend him to come see and talk about your solar needs.

RJ assisted us with installation of our solar panels. Prior to our meeting, RJ was very detailed in what needed to be brought to our meeting for review. During our meeting, RJ was knowledgeable and most importantly, very honest. He did a breakdown of my current electricity bill and advised on what the best options would be. He even asked if I would own an electric vehicle in the future so that we can be proactive in installing the appropriate amount of panels. When I asked for a lot of panels, he actually advised less knowing that it was not necessary. Where most people in sales would upsell, RJ ā€œdown soldā€ me into an option that was best for me. I hope to work with RJ again in the near future.

We are incredibly grateful to RJ for guiding us through the process of upgrading our solar panels. When we moved into our home, we already had some solar panels installed, but every year, we were hit with a hefty bill from Edison, sometimes exceeding $3,000. It was baffling because we assumed the panels would save us money. Thankfully, when we consulted with RJ, he quickly identified the issue. He explained that we didn’t have enough panels to meet our energy needs, especially since we charge our electric car at home. His expertise was invaluable as he helped us determine exactly how many additional panels we needed to eliminate those high bills. RJ was incredibly helpful, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. He even introduced us to the PPA program, which allowed us to install the extra panels without any upfront costs or loans. He made the entire experience stress-free. Thanks to RJ, we’ve not only optimized our solar setup but also saved a significant amount of money. We can’t thank him enough for his exceptional service!

I recently had the pleasure of working with RJ as my solar sales representative, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, RJ demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about solar energy and the various options available. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. RJ's professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. He was always prompt in answering my questions and addressing any concerns I had. His transparency and honesty were refreshing, and I truly felt he had my best interests at heart. What stood out the most was RJ's dedication to customer satisfaction. He went above and beyond to customize a solar solution that perfectly fit my needs and budget. His follow-through was impeccable, and he kept me updated throughout the installation process. Thanks to RJ, I am now a proud owner of a solar energy system that not only reduces my energy bills but also contributes to a greener planet. I highly recommend them to anyone considering solar energy. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients make him a standout in the industry. Thank you, RJ, for making my solar journey a fantastic one!

I usually don’t trust people who offer services door to door, but he truly means it when he says, ā€œI will treat your home as if it were my own.ā€ He gives you a full run down of the process and what to expect. And, he always answers his phone (or calls you back) until your panels are up and running.

Solar has always been an interest in our home and when you hear about the cost savings, it’s almost a no brainer. The problem is solar can feel intimidating and you need the right person to guide you through the process and that’s exactly what RJ did for our family. Our experience was very welcoming and informative, he explained everything in detail and broke down our prior energy vs cost savings in a way that was easy to understand. Pure professionalism on RJs end, highly recommended!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with RJ for the installation of solar panels on my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. RJ was incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final installation, he walked me through every step, ensuring I understood each part of the transaction. What’s even more impressive is that RJ helped me with my initial solar installation six years ago and continues to assist me with any issues I have with my panels. His ongoing support and dedication have been invaluable, and it’s reassuring to know that I can always count on him for any follow-up or maintenance needs. I highly recommend RJ to anyone considering solar energy for their home. The level of professionalism and care provided exceeded my expectations, and I am confident that I made the right choice by going solar with RJ. Thank you for a fantastic experience and for helping me take a step towards a more sustainable future!

I’ve never met someone who continuously cared and helped out with my Solar experience. RJ went out of his way to make the process seamless. He was available 24/7 to help with any problems, questions, and concerns I have had. And each and every situation was handled and fixed within the hour. His knowledge is top tier and he provided excellent service not just to me, but to all my family members who needed solar was well. Even after service with him was complete, he continuously checked up on my to make sure my solar was running perfect throughout this year. I had to pay nothing out of my pocket at all and he lowered my electricity bill by more than half. Simply put, imagine if you didn’t have to do anything, pay anything extra, and your bill was cut by more than half! He even replaced my roof and updated my panel! On top of that, he walked me through on how to get tax credit! Literally RJ took the reins and handled the situation for me flawlessly. Only if all customer service based personnel provided the service he has given. I’ve never met someone who provided service and at the same time being completely professional, transparent and genuine with me. When I buy another property, there’s no doubt I will call RJ again to set up solar again for me. Thanks RJ!

RJ helped our family get the best solar package for the best price! Not only did he make himself available for any questions we had, he made sure to see our project through until we were operational. We felt at ease knowing that we had someone we could contact anytime, until now. I’ve had solar before and the deal was so bad that I learned exactly what not to get into the next time. When we purchased our next home, it had existing panels but they were not producing enough for my household’s needs. Luckily for us, RJ was able to get us more panels while maximizing our roof space, and also get a battery for our backup needs. No out of pocket fees to start with, received tax credits, and we are now enjoying more energy usage while paying less overall. We’re so glad we decided to sign up with RJ. He’s honest, reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about people.
