A pretty system that never works.

We have had our system for going on 3 years now and it is January 2020. In that time, it has been fully operational maybe half of the time. When being sold the system we were promised that we would get automatic email notifications any time there was an issue. This was useful initially but those notifications have not worked since March 2018. Every time I bring up this issue they tell me to monitor the app better and check my spam folder but the issue is still unresolved. In 2019 due to poor monitoring capabilities and constant issues, the SolarEdge app shows we produced energy for about 1.5 months for the entire year. As I write this, we have not produced energy since July 2019 and are waiting for another RMA. If you do choose them, do not expect to receive any of the monitoring notifications they promise, you will be on your own to monitor it daily so you can get the long service processes started as quickly as possible. We have incurred thousands of dollars in electric bills while waiting for issues to be resolved. The biggest positive I can say is that the workmanship appeared to be of good quality and done in a professional manner. Now if only it would work and the rest of the promises would be fulfilled...

not the cheapest but the BEST!!

I am a picky shopper and after reviewing all the different bids and equipment options I met with 3 of the top choices and Solare Energy really stood out. I also Googled them and read their reviews on other sites like Yelp, BBB, and Google... They not only didn't raise their prices after the site visit, they also clearly had the most technical knowledge and no pressure sales experience. I also added a Tesla Powerwall because SDGE has new rates and there is a state rebate:) They were not the cheapest of all the oinstallers, but after review and sales experieiince they were the best! Good luck goiing solar:) !!
