My panels were put in eight years ago. EmPower came to the house and explained everything before I signed up with them. The whole front of the roof is covered as well as part of the back roof. But I recently got a very large electric bill, so EmPower is coming today to look at my solar equipment. Each day, I can see how much is being produced in the bar chart on the equipment outside. There's also an app one can use to check but there's an issue with the connection to my Wi-Fi so that's another thing they're gonna check today. Their customer support is excellent and I've recommended them to other people.
Thanks for the kind words, Dorothy! We look forward to providing you with the same great experience for many years to come.

Signing up with EmPower was super easy and they were very fast with the installation part. The panels got delivered and four days later, they were on the roof. The inverters were in place. The longest wait was for the town to come and do the inspection. It took three months. The panels were on the roof but we weren't seeing any benefit from it. Other than that, I love going solar. The equipment is very good. The power company where we are gives us a check yearly for the extra that we produce. It took a year to see any "cost savings" because the bill that we usually pay went to paying off the loan.
EmPower has been great through the whole process. However, they've been very hard to get ahold of afterwards. Three years down the road when I've finally paid off this whole system and I have no electric bill, just a connection fee, I would like a battery backup. But it's been very difficult to get any information from EmPower. I've gotten it from the battery companies, but not them. We also had an issue with the connection for a couple of months. But once the tech came out, it was fine.
Thank you for the kind words, Christopher! We shared your feedback with our team, and are grateful to have you as a customer!

Two gentlemen did the presentation and they took a look at the roof. One of the guys was an engineer and he figured out how many panels they could put on the roof and how much they could generate. The big ticket item on the system was getting a battery array as a backup in the house. So if the power goes down, I have 24 hours of power for back up and that was the biggest expense that we had. The installers were here in a workman-like manner. They were here every day. If they weren't going to come, they would tell me, "We're waiting for this guy and this guy is gonna come on Thursday." They were totally upfront with me with every portion.
The guys who worked in the house were pros and really, really nice. They didn't mess up the inside of the house. When it was all completed, they gave me a good walkthrough for the system. At some point earlier down the road, I had a question and the guy called me right away, and then he came and showed me what I needed to do to handle the situation that I had encountered. I've never had a problem with the system.
My electric bill went from about 125 to 150 a month. It might even have been more. It's now $12 and that's because I have two electric cars. With the way Empower's systems work, you're not generating power for yourself. But you're generating power and you're selling it to the local provider, and then we pay based on our usage against what we sell them. So, that's why it comes out to about 12 bucks. We're still a net consumer, but not by much.
Hi Richard, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Wishing you many sunny high-production days ahead for both of your systems!

Signing up with EmPower Solar was easy. I contacted them directly. Everyone that works there is very helpful. They have always answered the phone and my questions. They were very helpful and they walked me through the whole process. They sent out a representative. He sat down with me, went over all the details, sent through email with PDFs the whole layout of what they recommend, the size of the whole solar array, and what it would save me. They gave me the full breakdown of what my cost would be, how it would impact my utility bill moving forward, and they offered me the financing options. They offered me the option of getting a NYSERDA loan. They handled everything from getting the permits, setting up appointments with the town for inspections, and it was straightforward and quick. They were held back by the town and the town inspectors were based on their scheduling. But it was seamless.
EmPower Solar has been on top of my system even remotely. They have contacted me in the past letting me know that there was an issue. They sent out the technicians, they figured out that all my microinverters on each of the panels were defective or they were recalled by the company, and they replaced all of them. After that, I contacted them again. I got the Tesla batteries installed. I also used them for the process. I'm overall very happy with them. I recommended them to several of my friends.

I was interested in solar and a friend of mine and his daughter both had it and I got good reports from them. I had two other companies come here but I didn't care for the program, the buyback and the leasing and by the time I got to EmPower, I’ve decided to buy and how to buy my panels. I have had a great experience with them and I hadn't had a problem until this repair. I have two underperforming panels that I reported in early June and I had an appointment for five weeks later but they said something happened to the technician. It sounds like they've only got one. And now I'm not getting service till sometime in August. The length of time it's taken to repair two underperforming panels is a little disheartening. It has taken me three months of waiting for a technician to fix it.
Hi Joseph, we are so happy you chose us to go solar with. However, we are sorry to hear that you were having some issues with your panels. Our service team has been alerted and they will be in touch shortly. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!

I spoke with EmPower Solar and I was happy with what they had to say and the signup was pretty easy. I've had to contact them for issues a couple of times but it was issues with squirrels getting under my panels. They had to come in and do some repairs. There was one issue with inverters where they came and they had to replace them and they did it, no issues. Also, I'm pretty happy with the cost. I figured it would pay back in six years and it certainly did.

I wanted solar power for my house and I couldn't find a good service. EmPower was the first company that came out seem to know their business. I met four solar guys who had no idea what they were doing and the EmPower guy came out and sat down with me and showed me his numbers. He understood them enough to answer questions and to change variables in the numbers that I asked him to change. He understood what he was doing and what I was doing so his math felt very honest to me. After I signed with EmPower, they sent some people out to do the town meetings and handle that, which they did well and quickly. Then, they sent a crew out. In two days, they installed the system, which was professional and neat. They did a better job than a lot of electricians that I know in the way they had to get wires through the house. I was impressed with them from the beginning up to the end.
There's an app that comes with the system but I don't use it. I just look at my electric bill and that's enough for me. My electric bill shows me how much I produce every month versus how much my house used and I see the credit build up throughout the year in the summer. I use up the extra credit in the winter and I try to zero it out in April when I settle up with the power company. So as long as that number on my electric bill tracks with what's happened in the years in the past, everything is working well,
I've recommended EmPower to several people and they've all had the same experience. So, it's been consistent over the years. I produce more electricity than I use so my wife is free to run the air conditioner in the summer as much as she wants. And in the winter when she's cold, she's free to turn the heat up as much as she wants because I never get a bill. It takes the stress out of my life. I'm never running around closing doors and messing with the thermostat. So, it had a positive impact.

Empower Solar is the best company with the most efficient panels and cost-effective price. The salespeople were honest and upfront. They didn't sugar coat or try to upsell. They didn't try to hide anything, where a lot of the guys who were trying to lease the panels were all shady. Empower wanted to do the best for me, not the best for them. When they first started, they were just selling the system itself. They weren't leasing to get money to kick back.
I have a two-family house. I have a pool and a hot tub. I have four refrigerators in the house. My bills were $400 a month and my bill went down to 200 to 250 a month, and $175 of that is the loan for the solar panels. I'm paying off the loan to NYSERDA with a 2.2% interest. It’s super cheap. The only issue I had was with getting the permits for my town that had nothing to do with Empower. Everything else was seamless. They do it all for you. There's no having to go to town hall like other companies do. They took all the burden out of it. I'm also still in contact with the salesperson even though I already have the system. It works great and I love it.
I would recommend getting the smallest system you can for your house for the best tax write-off because it pays for itself after over the years, where if you lease it, the company is getting a piece of the action too. You're not getting the full effect of it. A few of my family members got Empower too and everybody is happy with the results. The results Empower promised them were the results they got. What's cool is you're part of the Empower family. They have free movies every year for the kids. They still do promotions even though you're not paying them anymore. They're trying to get you to recommend people but at least you don't have to do that to get it.

The EmPower Solar salesperson I worked with was great. He came to our house and did what he had to do. And the whoever got on the roof tested everything. They gave us all the information we needed, whether it was cost-effective, etcetera. When we had our solar installed, they didn't have backup batteries. Now they have the Tesla backup battery. But I haven't heard much about that. I would have been more interested in the backup battery. Other than that, customer service has been great. I had a couple of the things throughout the years but they always responded well, kept in touch, and did what they had to do.

It was terrible with Empower Solar. They lied. I asked them what happens if my roof needs to be changed? They said, "We inspected your roof and your roof is great." Two years later, my roof had to be changed. They told me it would cost $500 to take the solar panels off the roof and put them back on. Then they tried to charge me $2,500. We ended up reaching a different price but it was still twice as much as what they originally quoted me. I would never recommend them again. They should be ashamed for what they did.

I had EmPower when I lived in New York. Their rep, Corey, sat down with me and we went through it probably five or six times because I was skeptical. He gave me education on going solar and I learned more about it. It wasn't one of those sales-y type pitches. He was more of the guy that said, "Hey, you have any questions, you call me back, and I'll let you know. I will get you the information that you're looking for." Also, I recall him saying that there were two different types of panels that I could use. One was much more expensive and one was more affordable. And as a salesperson, you'd push the most expensive on the client but Corey was completely the opposite. He gave me what I needed and he was the most honest salesperson I've ever met in my life.
After I got signed up and everything was good to go, they told me they were gonna bring out the trucks and do the installation. Corey told me when the crew was gonna come out and who the project manager was. Also, he was checking in on me during the process. At one point, I looked at it and one of the panels didn't look aligned completely with the others. When it's on the front of the house, it's an eyesore so I called the service desk and they said they would send out somebody right away and take a look at it. But nobody came out for almost a week. I took a picture from an aerial view and I reached out to Corey. He said he would get his guy on it right away and not even 24 hours later, I had somebody out here. The problem was the installers didn't lock one of the panels in properly. So when a storm came through, it must have knocked it loose and it separated about six inches. It was still intact to the roof but it wasn't aesthetically pleasing and they took care of that.
Other than that, the tracking of it was very easy. I had an app for it and I was able to monitor what I was consuming and what I was not consuming. It dropped my bill down and it was practically pennies on the dollar. The one thing that kind of annoys me about solar in general is the power plant charges you so much to bring power into your house but when you get solar and you produce excess, they buy it back for such a cheap amount that it's not worth to sell it back to them. But Corey explained that his goal was not to give me the excess and give me less than what I needed, but to make it almost like I was 100% free. He got it to a point where it was 106% so just giving me a little bit extra just in case I needed it during that time. It was very helpful explaining that.
Thank you so much Clifford for all of your kind words about Corey! We shared your feedback with our team, and are grateful to have you as a customer!

The rep followed up and when things got delayed in getting the permits for the solar, EmPower sent us some gift cards to make up for the inconvenience and the loss of the summer months. So, it was nice. It's been a while since my first installation with EmPower Solar but it was fairly easy and well communicated so I knew when people were coming and how long they were gonna be there for. The installation team was friendly, prompt and courteous. EmPower has a way of tracking what I’m producing electronically but I unhooked it and I haven't re-hooked it. So, I just track it on the power statements that come from my power company. EmPower has been great. Any time I've had an issue or needed something corrected, they've been quick to fix it. I just saved money so I don't have any complaints. I would recommend them.

The sign-up process with EmPower was very straightforward. They give you the buying and leasing options, and if you'll be paying every month for energy, and if not, how many kilowatts each panel produces. If you put this many panels, you're gonna produce this much. If you put this many, this much. It's very thorough. If you thought you needed two more panels, you can add two more. If you thought it was too much, you could take off. In both my houses, it was the perfect number of panels. They have an app and it tells you what it produces every day, the month, the year, and if there are any shortcomings you gotta check back. They did the installation in a day and when one of the inverters in the house broke, they came and installed it and I paid nothing. Two of my family members installed panels and they're happy.

I love EmPower Solar. The company is fantastic. I had issues during COVID and everything was replaced. It wasn't the easiest thing to do and it took a little bit longer than usual. But responded back and it was very reasonable under the conditions that we were living. If I email them about anything, I get a response back. Once you email and you are in communication with someone, you can call them and it's not an issue. But if they don't know what it is, they're not going to call you right back because there are emails to let them know there is an issue and a person gets assigned. I also had Wi-Fi issues and they worked with me on that.
Now, I'm using the ethernet instead of Wi-Fi just not to have any issues. My electricity is fabulous because I used to have $600 in electricity in the summer season. I have a pool and a central air conditioning, and I would pay $600. The most I really pay from an electric standpoint is the loan that I pay off monthly, which is a very small amount between 35 and 60 if I use electricity non-stop. If it's 90 degrees, I run the pool's filter and AC non-stop. It's such a huge difference to me that I am the happiest person. Other than that, I'm too old to go up on the roof and clean the panels. So I wish EmPower would have them cleaned. As with the company that installed it for them, as of this point, it's not anything that they did. They said they were looking into it to get someone up there. But I could just hire a roofer to go up there and clean it with a bucket. I love it.

Empower Solar has been easy to deal with so far. I experienced one problem wherein one of my panels wasn't responding. The company sent out a technician, and they diagnosed it, found the problem and fixed it for me free of charge.

EmPower Solar’s CEO and sales manager came out to my home, did an inspection and walked around with me. I was impressed with their CEO and their solution, the prices, and the product that they were selling. The installation was fine. It was a process to get it started and it took several months. I started in the spring and it did not get installed until right before Thanksgiving. The installers installed the panels and hooked up the inverter. By a day and a half, it was producing electricity. I then needed to get the net meter installed to start to see the benefits. But I was already experiencing the benefits of it once it was hooked up. In the last week, I've been dealing with EmPower’s support team on an issue and it was not a positive experience trying to get in touch with their support. It has been positive up until about a week ago.
The inverter twice recently has not started in the morning. One instance happened three years ago and I called support. Somebody came out here and looked at it but they couldn't find anything. It happened probably about 30 days ago when the inverter just did not start in the morning. I had to power it off and back on. Then a week ago, I experienced the same thing again. I took a video of the entire process of turning it off and turning it back on again and sent it to EmPower. This morning, I got an email saying that I need to send them pictures of error codes because they're not gonna show up tomorrow unless I do that. So, it would have been great if they told me that a week ago. I have sent them all the pictures that they have requested and I have not heard back from them. So, I hope somebody shows up tomorrow.

An EmPower Solar consultant came by the house. We discussed the possibilities of different solar systems along with the pros and cons. They developed a blueprint. They gave me information, like a packet with the recovery cost, upfront cost, pay back and rate of return. They installed the solar panels on top of the roof. Now I currently monitor the solar panels. I reached out to them a couple of times and they were very receptive and I highly recommend them.

My Dad is 88 and had just came out of a hospital stay when Brandyn Bailey from Empower Solar came knocking at our door. I told him we hadn't the roof to sustain panels. No problem he said as they can sub-contract out and bill us the price of a 18,000 or so roof. I was also told the panels would be free because there is a 20K Government Tax credit we would get after installing their panels and with the power credits we would most likely receive, even the roof payment would be much lower if at all. Now that’s a great deal! I was on board! My Dad was ok with it but very weak. He came long enough for Brandyn to show him some screenshots of data but my dad is very hard of hearing and still not feeling well so I was left me with Brandyn.
I must of asked Brandyn 50 times how that credit worked. Not once did he tell me it was based on Federal Income. Since arriving here to help my Dad, I was not working and I told Brandyn exactly that. I told him I really trust him because my Dad is usually the one that goes over everything and he just wasn’t quite able to comprehend it. Brandyn only said that when it came time for taxes, just hand in the information to our tax guy, he will know what to do.
I remember telling Brandyn several times how horrible I was at understanding contracts and this credit has to be available still come next year. Since it was March, I had to wait a long year before the credit but Brandyn said it would still be available. Brandyn sent me a copy of the contract to get signed and the first thing I personally noticed was any due: 89,000. I immediately let Brandyn know that this amount was not what we talked about and he said he would look into it and later told me it was their error and he would go over the contract with me later. Looking back, that’s a significant error and I doubt it even was an error now.
The reason I believe it was a “mistake” is because there was never a firm to add everything up separately. I have included a copy of the “error”. They marked it under “Change Order” which I thought was odd but as long as he corrected it I was fine. The newly amount was then brought over by Brandyn and he was nice enough to interpret the contract for me since I didn’t really understand it. So as I signed for my Dad, Brandyn would explain what it meant. No my dad wasn’t present. Nothing about how to redeem the 20k was in there and I further questioned Brandyn and was reassured it would just credit back to us. I then shook hands and thanked him.
I saw him once more for the referral fee he gave me and he was in a new Tesla. I thought wow great! I helped him and he helped me. So last month was my surprise. My Dad who is recovered now, asked me why the bill went from 277.00 to 377.00 and so I called and was told by the Finance company that we did not qualify for the Tax Incentive. The extra 100.00 was a penalty increase. I asked why and was then told it’s based on Federal income tax paid. That I understand. I was and still am in shock. I called Brandyn crying and let him know that I know he knows he scammed me and it cost us 20,000! His reply was each year we can try. My Dad is upset and asked to see what I signed and doesn’t remember a thing about it. It’s really disgusting that I let that slime ball into my house and speak to my Dad. Just beware.

EmPower was on top of everything from the very beginning, reminding us about documents or information that we needed to get them, all the way through to the turning on of the system. They worked well on permits. They updated us about delays with the powerwalls that we had installed. They followed up when they didn't need to. I was impressed with the installation team. I went out there to ask them questions and they spent 10 minutes explaining things to me. I ended up going to get them lunch because they were so friendly and professional.
We've had no issues with roof leaks or damage to the panels. The production, which I can monitor on my phone, has been amazing since day one. The powerwalls that we have are also great. They seamlessly flip back and forth. If there's ever a power outage, we don't even know about it unless our powerwall alerts us that they turned on. We have around $15 a month electric bill now, which is the base charge that our electric company has to charge. Beyond that, we paid nothing for electric and we have an electric vehicle and most of our heat and AC is handled through ductless systems, which are also electric. It has been amazing with EmPower. I love them. They are pricier than I would have paid going with another company, but the Maxeon panels that they installed from SunPower are some of the best in the industry.

They sent me a contract, DocuSign, which I did. I wired money and solar was installed. There were benchmarks. So, on certain benchmarks, I paid.

EmPower Solar’s signing-up process was very easy. They review it through a video chat and then, they send papers. You go over them and sign them. You just do a monthly payment, they approve you, and everything is good. During the installation, one of the Wi-Fi things that gives you the energy consumption was defective and they had to come back the next day. So, it would have been a day, but it took them a day and a half. They also installed a new roof for me.
Since having the solar system, I don't pay electricity. It used to be 300 to 700 a month. Plus you save 3,500 a year on your property taxes. It saves you for the next five years. You get a tax credit on federal and you can keep it but your monthly payment should be higher. Or you can give it back to them and your monthly bill would be lower for the finance purpose. I leased it for 15 years and the first five years, I'm not even paying. Compared to everybody else, EmPower came cheaper and has better quality. They have such a good reputation that they don't need to sell themselves.

EmPower Solar has some really good reviews about their setup and the way they finance, and to me, that was attractive. Signing up was easy. They did have different managers from different departments. So, then I went up the ladder until I had the final review. The installation was fairly easy because I had inspection people come by to see if it was even possible. They sent people on the roof to make sure that everything was sound. The installation process took a day and a half.
Since the installation, my power is still the same. The lights don't flicker. I have an app, so I can see what I produce and what I export back into the grid. During the summer months, I'm saving a ton of money. It's better for me budget-wise and I know what I'm gonna be paying each month instead of having a surprise $400 electric bill. I enjoy going solar. It was one of the smartest things I've done, especially with all the high prices and the inflation and everything that's going on now. The solar panels put a relief in my budget. EmPower also has good incentives where they'll send you a gift card if whoever you're talking to eventually signs up.

The salesperson, Scott, was amazing. He quickly gave me a rundown of the plan. The installation was set to be about four months out but they did it within three months, which made me very happy. In terms of breadth of knowledge, the fact that they have somebody dedicated to each step of the process made it much better. I had somebody who was the installation contact. I also had somebody post-installation when I had an issue with trying to figure out the readings on the panels. All of them were amazing.
The installation was a single day. They came in the morning, shut the power off to the house, installed the panels on the roof, reconnected everything and were out by 4:00 in the afternoon. When the panels were installed, they also installed a Wi-Fi box that connects to my router so I can connect on my phone through their app to monitor my panel, see my panel output over a long period of time or instantaneously. The app's been great. They added more features to it, which allowed me to have more understanding of what a single panel is doing at a time. It makes me more comfortable because I can now decide whether each panel is working rather than the system as a whole.
I recently wanted to expand and do the battery back up to the solar. EmPower offers it. But between APR and cost, it's cost-prohibitive at the moment. It would have been a lot cheaper if I had done it at the same time. But I'm very satisfied with the portion that I had done. EmPower Solar is the only solar company I would recommend. The person who I referred was going with another company when I said, "Before you sign with them, talk to EmPower." He did and was sold on it too.

The installation was a quick process. They were very neat and they did everything. They had the system charged up and running and signed off on by the town with no problem. The system generated a lot of electricity. It's only been installed for just about a year now and we have a credit of 5,000 kilowatts, which is great. But one of the things that they didn't divulge to us is how often it has to be cleaned. We still don't know. The panels get dirty especially on the roof. Also, we were supposed to get a certain amount of money when I filed my taxes but they didn't say that in order for us to get that money back, we have to have owed so I didn't get the full amount. They didn't say that the tax credit does not come automatically. It's based on how much you make. Also, I don't have the dependents to get back that kind of money.
One of the things that sold us was for example, our system cost 65,000, they said that we would get approximately 20,000 something towards the credit to pay for it for the loan, which is not with EmPower Solar. It's with the finance company. Now, the payment will be higher than what it was. Our payment per month might be like 240 now and it was supposed to go down to like 143 or something to that effect with a $22,000 credit, which we obviously were not going to get to help us with the solar. That was a little unclear and not defined. You don't find all that stuff out until you see a tax person to explain to you. Other than that, we have recommended them.

EmPower was the most expensive option I had. However, I appreciated that they had the best warranty on their product. We have little kids, and I'm gonna be in this house for at least another 30 years, so the warranty was important. EmPower had a lot of positive reviews on the internet too. That was a big plus for me, and a friend of ours recommended them as well. I priced out with SUNation, NY Solar, and then another company, but to save $2,000 upfront and not have a warranty in 25 years made no sense. Also, EmPower was the only one that if my roof needed replacing, they will remove and re-install the solar panels as part of the warranty.
The installers showed up at the crack of dawn and I spoke to them for a few minutes, then they were outside doing their own thing. They also came in a bit, and they were very nice. Installation was really easy, and they've been putting critter guards around the panels so the squirrels don't nest under there. We've had the system for three and a half months, and aside from one email that customer service still hasn't responded to, they were very quick to get back to me. Also, we've only had one month, the month of September, when we had more rain, but it was 95 degrees the entire time. It was hot and humid and we didn't generate that much, but even on that month, the electric bill was 12 bucks. The other two months, we've had no electric bill, only the network being hooked up to PSEG.
I was very satisfied. The only issue I might have was the confusion in the financing process. Essentially, EmPower offers people to do two loans, a bridge loan, which gets paid off with the tax return, and the second loan that gets paid off over time. I was under the impression that both of those loans were 0% for the first 18 months, but it turned out that only the bridge loan was 0%. It really threw me for a loop at first, but once I called the financing company, they explained it and that was fine.

EmPower's sign-up process was good and too easy. We spent a lot of time on it more than we should have, probably spent an hour or less. It was a couple of months from when we signed up to when we got things finalized. It was all very smooth and good. Our problem was with the red tape in the town. Whenever there was a problem and we contacted EmPower, they were pretty responsive and helpful.
At first, we didn't see that much of a difference in our bill. That was partially because of a setting, which we didn't know we had to do. We have a Tesla Powerwall and you can set on the Powerwall how much of your power goes to the Powerwall. We mistakenly had it set up so that 100% of the power went to the Powerwall. It's still spending too much on the Powerwall so we have to talk to somebody about that. The other reason that we didn't see that much difference in the bill was because we were looking at a partial month's bill. Since the system was installed, it took over two months to get it activated. We have a battery pack and I'm not sure that's set up. I'm waiting to see if our bill will go down even more.
EmPower estimated 800 kilowatt hours in September but we ended up with 422. I'm not sure EmPower estimated it correctly. This is a part-time house for us so when they set us up and calculated how much power we would use, we're not there all the time. Also, it has been a very cloudy and rainy month. We're looking forward to seeing another bill to see whether we've generated as much as they said they were gonna. September was a very warm month here and it should have generated more but our bill doesn't reflect what we're producing. That aside, the price for the system was a lot but it's worth it.

If there was something that we needed to redo or revisit, we had four days of Zoom calls with 45 minutes each, just because my wife and I had a lot of questions, and they were very open and weren't putting any pressure on our decision-making. The installation was good. It was explained to us what we should be expecting and the time frames. The installers weren't overpromising and underdelivering. So they were very helpful.
We were told the worst-case scenario would be the installation would be in September and if it’s early, it would be between July and August. The installation happened in July. They were accurate. It's just we were on vacation, so we would have done it earlier. The installers installed the system, but the net metering, which is based on the electric company or the local power company, wasn't installed in time. And that's more on the power company's scheduling. And since I wasn't available, it took about a two-week delay. It was nothing on their end but more of my availability. We could have seen results in two weeks instead of a month.
Thanks for the kind words, Luis. We look forward to providing you with the same great experience for many years to come!

I would happily recommend EmPower Solar to anybody. I had interacted with them a bit professionally. So, I had a positive impression of them already and a trust level there. Their team was professional and efficient. They held my hand through the whole process. They moved it fast. They did what they said they would do, they kept to their timeline, and got it done. It was all very easy. I enjoy following how much energy comes in and out at any time. And I like to be able to see that I'm saving money in real time.

Signing up with EmPower Solar went painless as possible and from start to finish, it was very easy to work with them. They did some initial fact-finding about my house, then they came up with a proposed layout and a proposed cost. Then we worked through that and the process was very simple and straightforward. During the installation, they brought all the equipment and they were very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend them. The system's aren't cheap but you get what you pay for.
Thank you for the kind words, Skip! We shared your feedback with our team, and are grateful to have you as a customer!

From start to finish my solar experience with EmPower Solar was one of the most professional, courteous, and on time projects I ever took on. It was a great feeling opening up my first bill from PSEG and seeing that even with a five day heat wave I still sent power to the grid and had an electric bill lower than ever expected. Thank you guys.
Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, Frank. We're so glad to hear that you're happy, and can't wait for you to experience many more years of savings with solar!

I shopped around pretty carefully for solar installers - I'm glad I went with Empower. I don't know that they were the cheapest but ultimately, they were the most honest, the most helpful and the most attentive in the sales process, and that showed right through installation. I'm very happy with my choice.

These guys are the best. They have done my home and many of my friends homes. Very professional, knowledgeable and clean work. Never heard a complaint about anything or anything having to do with Empower Solar. Not sure what else to say about Empower but all the staff have also been super responsive and easy to work with. The owner is also very accessible.

Very satisfied with my transition to Empower solar. Everything about the process was well-executed, starting with a diligent, knowledgeable salesperson who thoroughly understood the product and matched to my home needs. Timely, efficient project planning, site review and coordination with town and power utility company. Excellent, problem-free installation by SunPower during a few of the coldest days of the year. On-going enhancements like panel monitoring has provided even greater comfort with my system.

Empower did a great job with the installation of two Powerwall batteries and Span smart panel at my home. The batteries connect to the Span panel, can power the home and can also feed the grid with clean energy as part of a VPP. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to a friend- in fact I already have.

I am a new (since last month) Sunpower customer. One of my panels stopped working after system was installed (within two weeks). I am still going through the very long troubleshooting process, but it is now 3+ weeks and after numerous phone calls and emails, the system is still not working as expected. Panel is down and not producing power. Issue was escalated to the local director, but it seems something is very broken how sunpower is troubleshooting their panels.
