I highly recommend the Solar guys

Brian and his team were great. They were able to work me into their busy schedule and the work was done quickly and well.

The Solar Guys-Great Contractors!

I used the Solar Guys to install a set of solar panels on my home. They had not only the lowest of 3 bids, but top-quality panels and inverters (Enphase, 450-watt panels, & no Chinese stuff). The process was executed smoothly and powered up seamlessly, with the some wait times due to the city applications and inspections and waiting on the utility meter. Brian was the salesman, but he was really just there to tell me how the entire process worked & as a resource during the process; he really didn't push the sale at all.

Actual solar experts

Solar Guys were amazingly professional and very thorough. I feel like I met and worked with everyone at the company. I had wanted solar for a long time, but most companies wouldn't work with me because of tree cover on my home. I was getting quotes from 3 companies, and Kalon from Solar Guys showed up with a competitive quote that showed they really understood what I wanted (maximum production) better than the others. These guys are not running a lowest-common-denominator Solar sales operation and it shows, they really know their stuff. This was part of a whole-home electrification project for me, and Eric, Jesse, Brandi, and the whole crew were great about explaining designs, making sure timing would work out, and keeping me informed on decisions and updates they were making. Even as we dealt with complications from third parties, they keep the communication up and were diligent about moving the project forward. I would work with this crew again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended! I'm soo happy with my solar panels now!

The only team in the KC area to install or upgrade a solar system

We have had our system, which was installed by "The Solar Guys", for a little over a three years. We couldn’t be happier with not only their professionalism, but the quality of the equipment as well. I had damage to my system when a tree got thrown onto the barn from a windstorm damaging seven panels. Within a week, they sent out a couple of techs to remove the damaged panels and Ryan came out shortly after that when I got my insurance settlement finished the replacement of those damaged panels and installed an additional four. Ryan did an outstanding job, I researched 4 or five different companies before going with "The Solar Guys" and I highly recommend them! With my rebate this year I plan to add an additional four panels.

My excellent experience with The Solar Guys.

I am a proud client of the Solar Guys. I was looking into getting solar panels about 15 months ago for my home but had lots of questions and wanted to make sure I "got it right". I started off meeting with Pete, my Energy Consultant. I had hundreds of questions and I spent weeks discussing every last detail. At all times Pete K. was patient with me and went above and beyond answering every last question. At no time did I feel rushed or pressured to make a decision but I finally decided I would move forward with the agreed system. Next, I spoke with Eric T. regarding the install schedule and the last few details of the exact product and specs of the system. On the day of the install everything went perfectly as planned and Eric T. even helped me get some awesome photos of my completed/installed system. All of the workmanship was excellent, clean, and neat. Even making my payment to Michelle W. went smoothly and without a hitch. I am a very picky customer but these guys did everything exactly as agreed to and the system has been producing for almost a year now without a single problem. I rarely write reviews or give recommendations but these guys get an A+ for everything from start to finish. If you are considering solar, talk to these guys and look at the fantastic work they do; they're the best!

SOLAR GUYS ARE AWESOME

So glad we found the Solar Guys! We decided to look into solar as a way to reduce our electric bills. We called 4 suppliers and scheduled evening appointments. One still hasn't shown, and another still owes an estimate. the 3rd was an additional 13K.Rich set up our appointment, even though they are located over an hour away. So we decided to go with Solar Guys after the informative meeting with Jesse. They did all the leg work in working with the electric co-op, and work began. the team of Jereme, Vince and Ryan were awesome. They had to trench more than a hundred yards thru clay and rock. They added a new service panel the the barn, and joined it to the house. They did an amazing job. The Enlighten app is very informative in tracking electric usage. You can compare to yesterday, last month or last year. It also shows estimated dollars saved, and is very accurate. We save between 225 and 300 bucks a month. I received a follow up call from Cassie after a few months. She was checking on our thoughts of the new system, and looking for ways to improve their service. You can't improve on perfection! Keep up the great work.
