Ohio Power Solutions

After comparing several companies, I went with Ohio Power Solutions. First, I'm very happy that I didn't go with the cheapest quotes because they had lower-quality parts. There were a couple hiccups with the plan and weather, but it was overall good. I'm very picky as well. If something doesn't feel right, then I'm not afraid to call it out. With everything considered, I feel very confident in my setup. I thought about lowering some ratings to 4 because of the hiccups, but I kept it at 5 stars. Of the companies that I saw, I would go with this one again.

OPS were extremely professional, very responsive, and always answered my questions to satisfaction. Got me on the schedule sooner than expected. Brought masks for virus safety and wore them during conversations. Finished the job quickly and without issue. Very friendly. They described themselves as pretty minimalist. Meaning essentially they don't partner with financing companies. They did give me contact info for a couple banks but I dealt with the loan paperwork on my own. The upside of this is you save a ton of money. I looked at several solar companies and OPS was by far the cheapest for the hardware you get. Save yourself unnecessary costs and get good hardware anyway from a very good team with OPS. Their workmanship is guaranteed basically for the life of the panels- I hope I don't have to put that to the test but so far so good. They also dealt with all permitting and whatever else needed to go through DP&L for net metering so I didn't have to think about those details. It also hailed a bit, to my terror, like a week after installation. But they appear undamaged and unfazed. OPS also offered to install a squirrel guard to prevent critters from messing with the electronics under the panels. When I suggested I'd prefer to save money, they sent me the site to order the guard myself directly and even gave advice on how to install it myself. So I'm very happy they were more concerned with my satisfaction than trying to pressure me into spending more on them. My panels are producing great, even more than expected on cloudy days. I'm looking forward to my next DP&L bill! I will definitely go straight back to them whenever I build up the savings to get storage or do other energy improvements. Highly recommended.

From the site visit & quote through final configuration, these folks made the process easy. The site visit was done by an owner, who was knowledgeable enough to answer the hard questions on the spot. (Other companies sent us sales guys who great at explaining the financial benefits, but didn't really understand the technical issues.) In addition to being the company that left us with the best impression, they also offered the best deal with their first quote. Others came close but only after haggling. We were rushing to meet the deadline for 2019 tax credits, and their friendly crew showed up on bitterly cold days & put in long hours to complete the installation in three days. They left the job site so clean that it was hard to tell they'd ever been there. The system has been in operation for about 3 weeks now, and we are very pleased with the results.

Install went according to plan. Excellent work. Really good followup on all my questions. Workers were pleasant, knowledgeable and tidy.

Ohio Power Solutions expertise, professionalism and workmanship are great. They took care of pretty much all the paper work and helped secure an Ohio Eco-Link loan. I like that they are a small family owned company and that they do all the work themselves rather than subcontract. I had 25 panels installed from scratch within 3 days. Based on my experience, if you are looking for solar in Ohio, Ohio Power Solutions is the way to go.

I had zero experience with solar, and purchased a turn key 8.3 kw, grid tied, battery bank system from Bob and Eric. System has worked great. During the few power outages that I have had with URE, as planned I disconnect automatically and simultaneously, roll over to my sub panel, and basically have all the power I need for the "important" stuff: garage/chest freezer, back up frig, aerator on septic, well pump, and barn. Bob and Eric were very responsive, provided great follow up, detailed information, and have integrity. The only delays experienced were with the utility company. As advertised, I am in the black in the summer, even in spring and fall, and in the red in winter regarding energy usage and production. The low bills (mainly connection fees) are nice, but the real peace of mind is knowing that if there is a long term outage I'm good to go. Contact Bob or Eric for my phone or email if you would like additional information. David Garcia / North of Dublin
