Public Service Solar, LLC

I recently had solar panels installed on my roof by Public Service Solar, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. A special shoutout to Bruce, who was exceptional throughout the process. He patiently answered my hundreds of questions at any time of the day or night. His dedication and willingness to provide detailed explanations made me feel confident and well-informed about my decision to go solar. Bruce went above and beyond by teaching me about solar panels and their technical aspects, ensuring I understood how everything worked. During the site visit, the technician was equally impressive. He patiently answered all my questions, often providing clear and concise explanations. The consultation process was thorough and informative. Bruce took the time to explain the benefits of solar energy, the installation process, and the expected savings on my energy bills. He answered all my questions patiently and provided a detailed quote that was very competitive. Public Service Solar was also able to get all the required permits very quickly, which allowed the installation to start without any delays. The installation team arrived on schedule and worked diligently to complete the job within the promised timeframe. They finished everything in just 5 hours, which was incredibly efficient. They were respectful of my property, ensuring everything was clean and tidy before they left. The quality of the installation is top-notch, and the panels look great on my roof. Overall, I highly recommend Public Service Solar to anyone considering solar energy. Their professionalism, expertise, and customer service are truly outstanding. And a big thank you to Bruce for his exceptional support and for educating me on the technical aspects of solar panels, and to the site visit technician for his patience and clear explanations!

First of all, I wanted to thank Energy Sage for the utmost recommendation! Public service solar is bang for my buck. I've been saving money since the installation last year of October 2024. Each step of the process was well explained to my by the project manager. Overall, I'm very pleased and happy! More power to your company!

I started looking into solar in late August 2024 and after careful scrutiny of several vendors decided to go with Public Service Solar (PSS). They impressed me with their industry knowledge and use of technology in our initial meetings. I felt their foundation in roofing and electrical was well placed, especially after having spoken with others who had solar installed that had issues in both areas. Any solar project is going to be expensive, and PSS was not the lowest priced offer I received, but I felt with the level of equipment offered, small extras such as critter guards, strong warranties, experience of the team, and being locally based, they offered the best value. After a site visit and preliminary plan with pricing, I made my decision and notified them of winning my business in mid-September 2024. Since then, PSS has taken care of everything. Their team created a comprehensive plan that was thoroughly reviewed by an engineering firm and then with me. The plan was tweaked after our discussion as they made good recommendations for my property and included my input. They filed all the permits with my township, and made necessary contacts with my electric utility and appropriate inspectors. My solar system was installed on November 1, 2024 and while they needed a second day to sort out my battery back-up system, the solar part of the project was available to be online the next day and allowed me to produce clean solar power (note: I was aware my home already had a net-back meter which helped in this situation but may not apply to all. Tread cautiously if you’re generating solar power without a net-back meter.) Inspections were completed in mid-November under the on-site guidance of a PSS representative and required only a minor adjustment to the electrical panel, which was quickly completed and re-inspection passed. My township and electric utility were automatically notified of the passed inspection. With the holidays fast approaching it took a little bit for the utility to inspect my meter and establish my account as a net-back account, but that was recently completed in early January. With utility permission to operate I am in full solar mode, generating my own electricity and getting credit when sending extra to my utility (note: I’m in PA and the processes may be different in other states or localities). With few hiccups along the way it was a smooth and quickly implemented process. From my timeline you can see this took approximately 4 months from the time I committed to PSS to completion and full permission to operate. I haven’t had the opportunity to use my battery back-up, but I’m comfortable knowing what should happen thanks to the time the staff spent preparing me for when that time comes. The PSS staff is also in the process of setting up my account to receive SREC credits and helping monitor my system to make sure it’s operating as expected. PSS has a website/app that allowed me to follow the installation and approval processes and now serves to provide me daily and historic data on my system production. Between the planning, installation, inspections, and few hours reviewing data and asking questions, I’ve encountered about a dozen PSS employees and none have disappointed. They have all been friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to work with me to keep me informed and ensure all my questions and concerns are addressed. I look forward to continuing my relationship with them and would highly recommend them for anyone interested in a solar project.

The team at Public Service Solar made every step of the process easy. They offer high quality products, spent time helping me design a system that met my needs for energy production and maintained the aesthetic of my house, and did a great job with installation. I was also very happy with their pricing. I also highly recommend using Energy Sage to select your solar installation company. My advisor was extremely helpful.

We had a great experience with Public Service Solar throughout the process. We conducted extensive research into our solar energy options, including requesting bids on EnergySage. We began the process before our utility opened the grid and Public Service Solar was one of a handful of companies that provided us with options, along with associated costs. Public Service Solar gave us detailed and accurate information associated with these options. Ultimately, we decided not to move forward with solar at that time, but a few months later our utility opened its grid. When we learned that the utility opened the grid, our first call was to Public Service Solar. We also sought new bids through EnergySage and independently. The Public Service Solar representatives were flexible and listened carefully to what we expected and included our expectations in their proposed design. When we were ready to move forward, Public Service Solar provided us with a contract that contained reasonable terms. The head of Public Service Solar told us that with Public Service Solar there would be NO hidden costs, and his promise proved true! Even after signing the contract and before installation of the solar system, Public Service Solar continued to answer our questions. On the installation date, the Public Service Solar crew arrived at our house exactly when they promised and quickly installed the system. The Public Service Solar crew patiently answered our questions while they were installing the system. The system was installed flawlessly, with no conduit visible on the outside of our home. The crew cleaned up after the installation. Public Service Solar seamlessly handled the permitting process with our town and the permission to operate application with the utility. In sum, it was truly a pleasure working with Public Service Solar.

We recently worked with Public Service Solar to install solar panels on our roof. I chose them after doing extensive research here on the EnergySage site, looking at the Public Service Solar proposal compared to two others. We chose Public Service Solar because they provided the best proposal overall, having both a lower cost per watt and a superior design. Their warranties are also excellent. Public Service Solar did an analysis of the sunlight exposure on my roof, and they proposed installing panels in the areas that received the most sunlight, in order to maximize production. They arranged for permits for my system and worked with my electricity provider to make sure all the details were ready for the installation. After all the parts were ordered and the approvals were in place, they actually installed my system in a single day. They have been totally professional and great to work with. I *highly* recommend them if you are considering installing solar panels for your house.
