Excellent Company

Joey from Pamlico was terrific to work with. His presentation details were well done and we seriously considered them. We did not go with them in the end but his communication and his detail got us very close. We highly recommend them to consider when you are thinking about solar.

Super Satisfied with Solar in Surf City

Pamlico Solar did a fantastic job with the installation of solar panels at our canal home in Surf City. Although we were not there during the installation, we did hear from our neighbor about what an incredibly great job they did. As part of my due diligence at the beginning of the project, I contacted Pamlico Solar and the other "leading" solar provider in the area. The difference in the information provided from the two was like night and day. Pamlico Solar provided me with extremely detailed written information about every aspect of the project. When I asked the "other guys" for something written, I was asked why would I want that. (?) That was all that I needed to know that Pamlico Solar would be our solar provider. Midway through the project I needed to add an EV charger and home integration system, and again Pamlico Solar didn't miss a beat and got it done perfectly. Great job, guys (that includes you, Alley)! Thanks! Palmer
