    I turned in my request for enrollment back in November last year and we already signed a document. Later on, I waited and when I emailed my representative, he told me that the contractor went bankrupt so Dividend Solar had to look for another one. Early this year when we were about to sign the documents, I noticed that there were some changes in the amount that I'm going to pay. There were also changes on the installation. Instead of installing the micro-inverters, they decided to install the single inverter. I talked to the new contractor and he said that the single inverter was cheaper. In case something like this happens again, Dividend Solar has to stick to the price and the materials they're going to be using because people who don't understand the technicality on the installation will overlook.

    Overall, it's okay and I got the solar now. The contractors were great to talk with. They're the ones who communicated with me all this time. Everything has been done the way I like it.

    Electric is going up and I know that going solar is the way to the future. In the long run, I believe that it’d save me money. And so, I did some research, looking at parts in a solar. I had another solar company but I didn’t like their process. So I started researching and found Dividend Solar. They made the overall experience very easy. They appeared to have a very good plan and were very customer-friendly.

    So far, I'm happy with my decision to have Dividend Solar which was referred to me by the company that I got my solar panels from. My primary reason to switch to solar energy is because it's gotten affordable. I did research before I made the decision and I'm excited about it right now. I supposedly can save more in the long-term, but we'll see. Enrolling with Dividend Solar was extremely seamless. I've talked to their customer service twice so far and they've been very responsive and professional. I get the feeling that they won't end the call until they feel that they've answered my question to my satisfaction. That's a big plus.

    It took a while to get the net meters set, but from my understanding, it was the Nevada Power process. The only problem we had was when the system was originally set up, it was set up with 18 panels only. Since I didn't require a jump up on my circuit breaker, we agreed to put 20 panels instead of the previous 18. There was a mess up where they forgot that they had to redo the paperwork, but everything was taken care of. The system is up and working.

    I heard about Dividend Solar from Oscar who was walking around the neighborhood, knocking on doors, and looking for business. I have been looking into solar energy services for a couple of years. I was interested in solar shingles because I wanted to put them all over my house but they’re expensive. The way Oscar explained it is, once I start paying for my panels, I don’t have to pay for my power bill anymore. That never really crossed my mind until he brought it up because my biggest concern was I didn’t want to be paying for solar panels and power bills at the same time. As soon as he said that, it clicked in my head and thought it was a good idea.

    Our panels are having some problems though. They had a tech come out on Friday and said that a couple of our panels aren’t hooked up so we’ve been on for about a month and a half and have been underproducing. But I’m satisfied with the product. I’m ready for it to be fully working so I can see what the full benefit would be. I have already recommended Dividend Solar to people.

    Solarize SC had an outreach campaign in South Carolina. We got hooked up with Sunstore, which is a local vendor around here for Filipinos. They told us about what we could have as far as a system on our house, and it sounded good. The price worked out well with the Duke Energy rebate that we're being offered and some of our state tax has been financed, so we decided to take Dividend Solar. My husband handled most of the enrollment process and he didn't had any problems. We're glad that that financing option was in place because we couldn’t have done it otherwise to install this solar energy system.

    Getting solar energy looked liked a good investment. My installation (50 panels) was about $43,000 and there was a 30% tax credit off the federal tax bill and 25% off the South Carolina tax bill. That brings my actual cost down about $19,000. And now, the electricity I will produce looks like it will be $400 worth of electricity a month. It's producing on the average, right now, 90 kilowatt-hours per day and that's what they told me it would produce with Alder Energy which pays my electric and gas bill. I also got a credit from SCE&G. I went on the grid on March 15th, but after just 15 days when the March bill came in, I made enough electricity to cover my entire March electric and gas bill with $2 extra. So from now on, I expect my credit will be at least a $100 to $200 a month above my electric and gas bill. So the return on the investment is better than any stocks, or bonds, or money accounts.

    And then also, there's the environmental aspect. Each panel produces electricity equivalent to 100 pounds of coal a year. The only thing that I'm not happy with is the interest rate. They charge us 6.5% and that's a little high right now. My home mortgage interest rate is just 3.5%. I'm thinking of paying off the loan to Dividend Solar before the end of the year and put that on a home equity loan, which I have in just a little over 2%. So if Dividend Solar wants to keep my business, they would have to come down on their interest rate.

My first bill came back as a shock. It said I owed them $7,500 and I used 50,000 kilowatts in two weeks, which is impossible. So I called Austin Energy and two days later, they fixed the problem. My bill for the solar portion was only $0.19, so I paid that. My electric bill came back for April and as of right now, I have a credit of about 32 bucks, which is cool.

    We'd been looking into solar energy services for a while then there was an offer from Dividend Solar so we took it. Everything was straightforward when I enrolled. The gentleman who showed up explained what was going on and they also took care of everything including getting with my HOA and the city council. I barely had to do any paperwork and no physical paperwork. At the end of this month, I will see a whole month’s cycle and where our energy usage is at and how much it’s making for the month. The only issue that came up was the amount of time it took to have the panels up and running. I understood it wasn’t completely the company’s fault and they had some contractors that weren’t fulfilling their part of the bargain. But we were hoping to get that done in three months and it took us close to eight months.

    I’m in the power generation industry and I looked into solar power in 2004 when we first built our house. At that point in time, it was $90,000 for about a 5 Kilowatt system that had a life of 20 years. It just didn’t make sense with a paltry $2,000 federal tax credit. Last year, when they started putting in the tax credits for doing solar, I started looking a little closer. Three of my neighbors had solar put in over the summer. I talked to the installer that did their systems and I started looking at the cost-benefit versus return and all those good things.

    Duke Power was also giving an incentive to do this. I understand their business case. They can either build a new power plant or they can incentivize people who put in solar. It’s going to cost them money one way or the other. It made it very feasible because we’re now looking at a six to seven year payback versus a 25-year payback on a 20-year viable system, which didn’t make sense. The time was right and we’re very fortunate because I live on an airport community and our hangar happens to be oriented almost in the perfect orientation for solar power. So I have a very efficient system, overall.

    Dividend Solar did a great job. They kind of sat on the background and took care of everything and, now, we’ve finally been connected. We got our first bill yesterday, and it was for half a month or partial month based on the connection date. Dividend Solar was not perfect but they worked real hard for us. My interactions with them have been almost nil. They’ve made the process extremely easy.

    When we built our house, we were looking at putting solar panels at that time but it was too expensive. I continued looking at going solar over the years and when we ran into someone at the Travelers Rest Market, that’s when we decided to go ahead and do it. Dividend Solar has done a good job and I'm very satisfied with their work. They were very helpful and all the questions I ever asked, they answered them.

    I've always been trying to look into solar energy services to upgrade as much as possible. Then I heard about Dividend Solar through a friend and a work associate so I decided to try it out. It's not so good so far. The overall process has been too long, confusing and uninformed. It's not as turnkey or seamless as it should be or as I'd like it to be. Dividend didn't do a good enough job of educating me of the process, how it can work and the steps. Right now that it's been done, I'm having questions and issues with the local city public service provider. I got my first bill - I show on my solar meter I've reduced 89-kilowatt hours but on my bill they only gave me credit for five. Why?

    Also, I can't read the new meters. Nobody from Solar or the city taught me how to read them and I can't get any help from the utility company on how to read the meters and my bill. Everything's getting way too confusing and I can't tell if the investment was worth it because I don't know what's going on. However, a lot of it isn't Dividend Solar's issue but the local carrier provider's as well. They share a lot of that blame.

The guy answered a few questions and he said he'll let me talk to the people involved in Dividend Solar, and I'm very satisfied that I went with it. I've had a good experience all in all. Enrolling was not difficult but it wasn't all that easy because they wanted all kinds of permits from all different people. It has nothing to do with Dividend Solar, but it was all the process they have to go through. For the first month, I was getting in and out with it. They were getting new things into it and they wanted a lot of information about how the things would be installed and who will be the person responsible.

    I've seen other people had solar panels, and my electric bills were getting too crazy so I thought of checking solar. First we tried one solar company and they didn't want to work with us. When we called Trinity, they said they'll come out and the gentleman, Bill, came down from Schenectady and gave us a good deal. We're happy with all the guys that installed everything. They were very professional, answered all our questions and showed us all the stuff. The salesman was knowledgeable, too. So that helped out all the way around. But one of the gentlemen left his drill in my basement.

    I'd recommend Dividend Solar. When they first hooked up within November, the electric bills were still high. Now that we're hitting the peak season for solar, I'll get to see what I'll really be saving. But I know the electric meter's been running backwards a little bit. We hardly use any electricity and during the winter months it was still going up. I don't trust Central Hudson because it's owned and operated by a company out of Canada, and they're starting to raise the prices on stuff. I’m waiting to see what my next electric bill is.

    I've been looking into solar energy services for a couple of years. I had some door knockers come by a couple of years ago, they were doing a lease arrangement and that was the first time I heard about Dividend Solar. At that time I said I was not interested in a lease and it’s outrageously expensive. It was going to be $35,000-ish to put the same size of solar that we got so I said no and I'll just wait for the price to come down. They were pushing on leasing the panels because it was so lucrative for them. They were discouraging the homeowners to own it and that’s why it was going to be so expensive.

    Over the summer I had another door knocker come by and at that point in time it was significantly reasonable and I got a pretty good rebate. I'm really happy with the price that I got and the way it turned out. So far, the system is working and the loan process with Dividend Solar was relatively painless.

The other thing about it is that they’re expensive. They still are. However over time it made a fantastic turnaround and become safe and proficient.

    When Mr. Abraham talked to me, he entertained me a little bit and I understood it.

Dividend Solar is good but their third party installer didn't have it all quite figured out yet.

    Dividend Solar’s customer service was courteous. I had a fine experience with the company, but no one explained to me how the thing operates. No one took the time to sit down and show me how to read the meter on the house. I also just got a bill I didn’t agree on since it seems that I got a third party that no one told me about. I received a bill from Southern California Edison, and they said something about Lancaster Electric Company, so I had a bill from 2 companies, and I don’t understand that. The solar was just installed 2 weeks ago, but I’m trying to think how they came up with these numbers since it caught me off guard. Other than that, I’m happy with the service.

    Getting Dividend Solar was something that made more sense and I should've done it sooner. It was recommended by the contractor and it was so smooth, easy, and online. I was totally out of my mind. The only thing that was tricky was that the first time they came through, we were on vacation. They tried me again until I got back from vacation, spent 15 minutes, got it and it was done - solars installed. Had a couple of questions about rate with the customer service team and they responded quickly. We've recommended the contractor and financing to other people. It's an easy, easy-peasy deal.

I haven’t made a payment yet and I’m still waiting for my final walk-through on how everything works, but so far, it has been a good experience with Dividend Solar. I got prompt responses. The paperwork was easy and I got approved quickly. However, it took a little longer than I thought. There was a change in the system that I got and the electric company had to come back and put a different micro-inverter on each panel. They had a meeting with the manufacturer for a better solution and have another box down below here so they had to go back through planning stage again.

    We wanted to keep our energy consumption down and save a little bit money. I did research on different solar companies in the area and I came across Dividend Solar. They had good ratings so I decided to look into it further. I liked what I heard, so we ended up choosing them. Enrolling with them was very easy on our part. They went through the whole process of applying and having the solar panels and the system installed within a couple of weeks, including the permits. And customer service were very helpful throughout the way and very respectful. The person from Vision Solar did a great job educating me about the ins and the outs of solar, what to look for, and the program itself.

I was impressed with who they were and wanted to do business with them immediately. I decided to look into renewable energy because of the financial benefits and it helps the city’s growth and shears down the financial cost of the house for the electric bill.

    It’s easy to enroll with Dividend Solar. I just had to sign and they did all the work. I had a question for them once in a while but they were prompt about getting back within 24 hours, because a lot of it is actually research answer. I didn't realize how in-depth the answers were until a day later when they started telling me. They had to literally head over to the information desk to put the correct administration to get the information for me properly. So that was impressive. Dividend Solar is an excellent investment.
