    What is ADT Solar?

    ADT Solar is a solar energy company that offers grid-tied solar panel system installation in 10 states. It can get your system up and running in several weeks. ADT Solar also installs Tesla Powerwall energy storage and solar batteries to provide power through the night and help you avoid electrical surge prices.

    ADT Solar systems come with a 25-year labor guarantee, 25-year power production guarantee, 25-year panel module performance guarantee and 25-year Enphase microinverters guarantees. Brands include LG, Enphase, Outback Power and Unirac.

    The company also has an in-house roofing division to address any concerns regarding roof damage and ensure the best practices for solar installation. In case of damage to your solar panels, ADT Solar can also help with removal and reinstallation.

    ADT Solar provides 100% in-house repair and maintenance of its systems. If panels are damaged, customers are covered by the 25-year guarantee and will not pay for repairs.

    How does ADT Solar work?

    ADT Solar offers free estimates and energy audits to get you started. A solar specialist will work with you to customize a solar energy system that meets your goals and maximizes efficiency on your property.

    ADT Solar takes care of the permits, inspections and electrical work. Once the company installs the panels and the city utility installs the net meter, the system starts producing power right away.

    You only pay for the electricity not produced by your system, and any excess power will be sent back to the city grid. Net metering works slightly differently depending on location.

    With the installation of an ADT Solar solar system, customers get lifetime, 24/7 online monitoring with Enphase Enlighten. Track energy consumption, see performance data in real time, check that the system is operating normally and get alerts of any issues with the array.

    • Florida

    Average solar cost by service area

    Solar panel costs vary based on your location and other factors. The map below shows average overall prices in ADT Solar’s service areas to give you a general idea of what to expect. Your specific energy needs, panel efficiency and other variables could make your costs higher or lower than these averages.

    Note: Costs in this table are average costs for the state and do not represent specific company pricing. "Average cost after ITC” reflects the cost after receiving the full 30% solar investment tax credit (ITC). “Estimated net savings” is the average amount residents in that state will save on electricity over 25 years, including their cost of installing a solar energy system.

    ADT Solar cost

    ADT Solar says the average cost to install solar panels ranges from $11,000 to $25,000. The exact cost depends on square footage, kilowatt usage and the south-facing roofline. In some areas, you can get rebates and tax credits.

    Qualified customers can finance a ADT Solar system with $0 down, but you can also obtain a solar loan or pay upfront (solar purchase). ADT Solar also recommends exploring an Energy Efficient Mortgage, which credits a home’s energy efficiency into the mortgage.

    Equipment brands sold by ADT Solar

    As a solar installer, ADT Solar does not manufacture its own equipment. The company offers equipment from Enphase Energy and Tesla.

      The worst financial decision I've ever made. Doesn't generate nearly as much as I was led to believe, my note ballooned up at a year because they didn't tell me I had to use my tax credit to pay it down. So the note went up another 70 dollars, now I'm having problems with my system and I have to pay another company to come replace parts of it since they're out of business. My best hope is that someone starts a class-action lawsuit.

      My Solar PV system stopped working in mid-July and I could not find out how to contact anyone at ADT Solar. Every time I filled out their service form it would redirect me to a website that only listed manufacturers' information. No contact info for PV maintenance companies. After several attempts to fill out the form I finally received an email and it has been one of the worst customer service experiences of my life. If you need to get in touch with someone:

      Here's a number you can call to get someone on the phone from ADT so they can support your ADT Solar PV Install: **. Also, here is a list of PV Maintenance companies supplied by and approved by ADT: **.

        Agent, did not thoroughly explain the contract and promised goods that were not delivered. I was never provided a hard copy or digital copy of the contract which left me paying much more than promised. At this point, I really regret ever getting my panels installed. I keep paying while the second rate partner Carbon Solutions Group has only paid me once in the life of the system (+1 year). Now I know why ADT Solar went out of business.

        Purchased from Sunpro Solar who sold out to ADT Solar. My $80,000 system that has never produced even 1/2 of what they promised is now producing ZERO! The system has not been working since April. I phoned ADT in May for service, was told that ADT was no longer in the Solar business and that Enphase, who is the manufacturer of this crappy equipment would handle my case. I phoned Enphase and was told that someone would come out but that it might take 2 to 4 weeks. Phoned again in June and was told that they would expedite my case. Now August and I phoned Enphase again today and was told that ADT was not in business and if I wanted to pay Enphase they would send someone out. I asked why I would pay when I have a 25 year warranty.

        Enphase told me that they only handle manufacturer's defects in the Enphase equipment but the warranty for the labor I have is no good since ADT is out of business. I am disabled and I care for a severely handicapped son. I am on a fixed income and cannot afford to pay $550 a month for a system that is gaining me Zero money per month back. I don't know what to do. I have tried calling ADT but only get a recording to search the internet for help.

        We had the panels installed less than a year ago. Our house is now falling apart and ADT has not done anything but make this a legal nightmare. One they should have never installed on our kind of roofing, which was never made know to us until today. Upon installation, they negligently drilled multiple screws straight into a slated roof covered by shingles then tin. Allegedly they only snap into place on tin and never needed screws. Either way they screwed in leaving holes large enough for Water to come in and cause wood rot to the frame of our house, the walls, attic space, insulation, furniture and the list goes on.

        It took 3+ months of calling and a notice of intent to sue to be contacted. Yet we were not contacted by ATD, we were contacted by a random contractor and they had been assigned for all communication. Still no contact by ADT. I have had personal communication with the CEO Jamie and she is very aware of this situation and multiple others going on. Our home insurance has lapsed at this time and we are uninsurable due to the current damages by ADT Solar.

        A tree has since fallen on another building on the property. We are begging to have these panels removed, and paid off for by ATD to prevent further damage and to mitigate current damages. They will not. They will not fix. They tried to force us into a NDA/settlement agreement stating we HAD to sign it to be reimbursed for having our solar panels covered by a tarp. RUN FAR FAR AWAY. THIS IS A HUGE SCAM. WE ARE ALSO PAYING 208 ON TOP OF A 100+ power bill. (2 adults in the home who work 12-hour shifts) so the math does not add up. It’s all a lie, and a scam. They have made a breach the contract, caused property damage, have impended us from obtaining homeowners insurance, they have now blocked us from the sheer function they are supposed to do without reimbursing those payments. If any attorney SPECIALIZES in this area, PLEASE HELP! WE HAVE A RETAINER READY.

        It took almost 8 months to complete the installation. I was promised one thing by the sales rep and what was installed was different. Teams showed up 3 times with nothing to install and the wrong plans. I finally got it installed but it was not set up properly with my whole home generator. I then spent months with ADT and Enphase to show them their own documents of how to do it properly. However, I cannot get ADT to do anything. ADT keeps firing some of their best technical staff that were trying to help me and closing offices. I am now having to get a different company and pay them to set my system up correctly. I do not know if this is accurate or not but I was told ADT is using their Solar as a tax write off and will be selling this part of the company.

        Stay away. Got the solar panels installed 2 months ago. Cant get the system activated. Every call to customer service is a different answer and the promise me that some one will call, no one calls. Reported to Better Business Bureau for a false sales pitch, finally got a response, corrected the issue, now been trying to get system activated no response. Local sales manager gave me his cell phone, doesn't answer texts to get some one to activate. STAY AWAY. Awful customer service. Once your installed they don't care, they got their money. Better Business Bureau contacted again. Ridiculous.

        Signed up and was told installation and operational within 3-6 months. It has been over 6 months and its still not operational. ADT Solar does not call or email to give any indication what the hold up is. Even if this works out in the end, I would not recommend as the pain of not knowing what is going on is not worth it.
