    I recently purchased solar panels from Elevation Solar and created some unnecessary work for them by incorrectly completing the paperwork. Their team took the time and had to jump through hoops to help rectify the situation. My sales agent, Kim **, brought in the necessary people to get it resolved. This is one of the main reasons I went with Elevation Solar. I read several reviews and took note about their customer service. They're always prompt on responding to my questions.

    I recently decided to upgrade my home's energy efficiency and I went with Elevation. They educated me on the inefficiencies in my home and how completing the upgrade will provide a return on my investment in a couple of years. It was a no-brainer. The price was right, the crew was helpful and my home is much better at staying cool in the summer months! Would recommend!

    I can honestly say our experience with Elevation Solar has been extremely negative and very disappointing. As a customer, if you are looking for non-skilled personnel to install or repair your SOLAR System with a company that has no communication within their office, or any type of customer satisfaction, this is the company for you. Their service is absolutely atrocious!!!! This is by far a company that is unreliable for solar. This company will take YOUR money, and if you are unfortunate enough to start having problems, you will have difficulty contacting anyone to help you including field supervisors, if by chance you are lucky enough to get their phone number.

    From day one the install was not done correctly. I had roof leaks, and panels went out due to obsolete wire connectors. I was never notified of panel outages through the company, which they were in fact suppose to be monitoring production for one year. This company drags their feet when there is a issue with your solar, to fix or repair the problems. When the company finally made arrangements for personnel to come to do repairs, no one showed up. Not only did they not show but I did not receive an E-Mail or a phone call letting me know of the change in plans. This scheduling/no-show happened multiply times.

    When finally a person came to my home, they did not understand the scoop of the complaint due to the lack of communication in their office but upon inspection they could not fix the problems due to company’s lack of material. At the present time I still have unresolved issues. If upper level management does not see to take pride in their work, the workers underneath them will do the same. I advise everyone before you decide to go with any SOLAR COMPANY go online, go to the BBB, CUSTOMER AFFAIRS, and the company’s website. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT CHOOSE ELEVATION SOLAR...

    Elevation Solar had the cheapest quote that I got. I talked to them and they seemed reasonable and seemed to know what they're doing. I had a nice experience enrolling. The only thing about the part was it took a little longer than expected. But other than that, it went nice. Everything worked as it should. Everything has been great. They gave me a system that I asked for. Others were saying things like, “It’s too big for your house.” I told Elevation that I wanted a solar system and they said, “Okay, we’ll do this.”

    There was a slight miscommunication because they were pre-wired for solar and they ran it through the roof. But it was just because there were multiple layers of people involved. The messages didn't get passed up. But all in all, it was not a big deal.

    Based on the quotes I received, Elevation Solar was more reasonable. Also, they were prompt enough to work with the design requirements. They were also quick to respond to any questions. The techs were professional. They turned up in the morning and the install was about a day. There were little hiccups in the installation phase which required working with the utility and then making sure that they come and they do certain power off and on and stuff and inspection. So, we got delayed by a couple of weeks. The system has not been activated but so far everything is working well. So, I'm quite happy.

    At the time we signed up, everything was straightforward. Elevation Solar was offering me a certain number of panels that would satisfy me in my current situation. I decided to go and get a couple more panels to be sure that I was gonna be okay in the future. However, there were a couple of hiccups that could have been handled better. When they did the electrical, they had to do some grounding. They only did one grounding point where they had to do two. The permits took a little bit longer than expected and there was no feedback telling me where the holdups were. It would have been better if they were more informative. They deal with different states and there are different rules for different states but if this is their thing, after a couple of times of doing this, they would know what's expected for the permit to pass.

    As soon as I signed up, Elevation Solar contacted me and set up the appointments. They came on time and finished early. They answered all my questions too. They prepared me on what to expect. After they were done with their portion, they told me how NV Energy had to come out here and do their inspection and it could take up to 30 days. It took 20 days so they were a little earlier and even when that guy came in, it was super simple. Once he was done, he told me to contact Elevation Solar, let them know that we were online and they would send me an email on how to hook it up and refresh the system. I did that and it was super easy. Having the system is awesome. I look at the app and see that I'm producing more than I'm using. Hopefully, that adds up and I can stay off the grid.

    There have been three major issues with the design and installation of our solar energy system. The initial planning and design of the system indicated that it would produce about half of the electricity that we used but once it was installed we found that it produced much less than the plan. We have recently discovered that the system is capped at 5 kW but our contract says that it should produce up to 7.5 kW. I suspect that this is part of the energy production problem.

    When the system was first designed, the solar panels were intended to be installed so that they were tilted upwards. That would have allowed rainfall to clean any dirt on the panels as it ran off onto the roof. The system, however, was re-designed on the fly while it was being installed and the panels on the flat part of our roof were installed flat, whereas they were intended to be tilted so that rainwater would help keep the panels clean. The panels on the sloping part of the roof were installed as designed. The 5 kW cap on power production and the dirt that collects on the flat solar panels both reduce the production of the system and that results in increased cost for our electricity. I think Elevation should revise the system to eliminate both of these issues. Barry **

I could print it up, and I don't do well with computers, but it was great. Setting it up and turning it on was super easy. The gentleman I was working with was good. I would tell him, “Well, it's been a week and I haven't heard anything back yet.” He would tell me, "Let me check it out,” and I would hear within another one or two days. The only thing is that I thought that the critter guards were included in my overall deal, but it wasn't. But we've got that taken care of. Now, I got to wait 10 days in order to see if we get someone to come out and start working on it.

From the very start of my relationship with Elevation Solar until today, I could not ask for better customer service. My home solar energy system works perfectly.

    Things seemed well when I signed up, but after having my solar removed, which was a ** show, it just seemed it wasn’t right. When I signed up I wanted to support local and have the same company I have my house alarm go through. Which I know gets branched out through ADT anyways. I called a few months ago. To have my solar uninstalled because I needed a new roof to be done. I understand maybe I should have done the roof prior to installing the solar, but I’m a first time home owner figuring it out and was hoping the roof would have been ok for another 2-3 years prior to changing it. Communication was good, was planning on being gone for 2 months for a work trip. Which should have been more than enough time for it to be removed. Then have my roof done and have the solar reinstalled.

    Couldn’t get it figured out on your end between emails or calls. So I came home from it and dealt with it. Even then that was still a ** show. It only ever got somewhat sorted out after I paid upfront for the solar to be removed. Then it seemed like I was a worthy customer. I will admit. It was removed in the time once it was paid. Roof got done and a week later they were up there to reinstall the solar which was good. This ** should have been done while I was gone for two months. As well as I haven’t been called on helping accommodate for the delay with customer service to get the pigeon blocks so they don’t go under the solar or peck on them. That was a month or two ago at this point. I know I’m under contract so I have to deal with this ** but after taking people's money shouldn’t be the reason to actually act upon things. I know it might not be everyone there, also might be my expectations on things too. But we have to do better.

    The beginning process with Elevation was good. Initial contact, ordering, and completion of the installation met expectations. However, customer service after the system was installed is practically non-existent. If there is something wrong with your system, expect to wait months for any corrections or issues resolved. In fact, I am still waiting to hear back on why one panel is not producing correctly. Will the issue ever get resolved? Only God knows. I'm not holding my breath. If Elevation does not get this customer service issue improved, it will be their downfall as a company.

    Initial meet and walkthrough was superb, technicians and sales were very helpful. However, we were informed our breaker box would be replaced, it wasn't, newer breakers were installed though but nothing was relabeled after shuffling wires. Originally the install of Curb system box was just shoved behind the breaker panel, preventing it from closing. Install of the actual system on the roof resulted in the breaking of over 200 of the tiles, which may or may not have been completely taken care of during requested repair.

    Fast forward a while, we received a visit from another solar company working with SRP, review of existing and potential upgrades, they quoted us a full 10-12K system for what we paid for our 7K installed. Electrical work that was done at panels had to be redone/rerouted by later technicians. Overall we are happy to be paying $100 less on average for electric, but wish we had "shopped around" before locking in with elevation for solar support.

    Elevation Solar was quite reasonable. They were a lot more informative on the tax rebate and how that works. Other companies were like, “Yeah, you can go figure it out." I was very pleased with the whole introduction to Elevation Solar. First, I had to approve the plan and the number of panels going up on my roof. Then it had to go through SRP, the City of Mesa, my HOA and I didn't have to touch it once. Their office handled every step, kept me apprised of where the delays were because the City of Mesa doesn't move real fast. SRP is pretty good. My HOA dragged their feet. But they gave me a realistic expectation, which was four weeks out in the future. The guys who installed the panels also reached out to me to see if I happen to have any matching house paint, which fortunately, the guy I bought the house from left me a can. So they touched up the conduit and everything that runs up to my eaves and made it a very seamless, beautiful project.
