Ampion

Ampion is a non-responsive company. I spent houirs of my time on the phone and on email trying to enroll in community solar. After spending weeks trying to get enrolled, I was informed that my application was denied because of "community choice aggregation." In plain English, this means that my local community has a program in which they use a third party to get clean energy. Evidently, you cannot be part of such a program and get community solar. I was told that if I withdrew from the local program, Ampion would "reevaluate" my application. I don't know what "reevaluate" means. At this stage, there is no way in hell that I would ever do business with Ampion again. There is one other point I would like to bring up. The Ampion salesman told me that I would save around $500 on my annual electric bill. Everything I have read on the internet indicates that the typical savings are around 10%. Assuming an annual electric bill of $2,000, that would mean a savings of $200, not $500. Ampion uses misleading information.

I found this company to be a great opportunity to work with our church. We were able to convert to all the benefits of using local solar electric energy (good for the planet) and save 10% of the credits on our RG&E bill in Rochester. We signed up under Rochester Area Interfaith Climate Action and received a 1-time incentive when the church signed up and a $50 incentive for each account that we referred - and they all get the same 10% savings
