EnergySage services and features

EnergySage offers both home and community solar services that are designed to help you compare and save on renewable energy. The company has a network of pre-screened, local installers to compare and choose from.

Home solar

Residential customers can receive and compare quotes from multiple rooftop solar panel installers in their local area. EnergySage also offers advisors who can help you make the right decision based on your needs. 

The company also offers a solar calculator that helps customers estimate upfront costs, savings and financing options for a solar energy system. These experts can help customers determine the best financing options, including taking advantage of any applicable solar tax credits and rebates.

Community solar

EnergySage can also help customers who don’t want to purchase or lease solar panels for their home but still want to benefit from renewable energy.

Through community solar, you can subscribe to a shared solar farm in your area that sends clean energy to the grid. Its community solar is available in 12 states plus Washington, D.C.

After subscribing, you receive utility credits for your purchased share of energy generated by the farm. These credits will be reflected on your utility bill as energy savings and vary based on your zip code. According to EnergySage, you can save 5% to 15% on your utility bill each year by choosing community solar.

    This company pretends to be for the consumer but they are just as much about making money as everyone else. They steered me to a company that took my money, then told me I 'couldn't get solar' then would not give the money back. I found another company that solved the problem, but by then, it was too late to get the rebates. I'm going to get solar anyway but it will cost me a lot more. I blame EnergySage entirely. Don't make the same mistake I did. Do your own research! You will be glad you did.

      EnergySage is garbage with zero accountability. Signed a solar installer via their platform who lied about even filing the permit. Installer promised refund of my deposit, never did. I involved EnergySage who promised they were working with THEIR installer to refund, still nothing. Now EnergySage won't refund me themselves. No accountability for not doing their only job. EnergySage is useless.

      We understand your frustration and empathize with your experience with Demand Construction. EnergySage operates as a marketplace and does not enter into contracts, collect deposits, or process payments between consumers and independent installers. The $1,000 deposit was paid directly to Demand Construction, and any refund obligation lies with that company. When issues became known, we removed the installer from our platform and documented your complaint.

      EnergySage is an amazing tool to use for picking a Solar company. They helped me understand what I was looking for in solar panels and I was able to use the multiple quotes provided to get the best deal.

      EnergySage was great! I quickly got multiple quotes. EnergySage’s site had reviews of the various products and installers. The advisor assigned to me, Bryan, answered my questions quickly and clearly. I ended up going with a local installer I was talking to before I found EnergySage, but was able to do so with more confidence.

      I wrote a negative review on company and energy sage removed review. I asked why and they would not respond. I asked multiple times to see why and still not response. I would go to a local company and not use energy sage. Reviews are either cherry picked or negative reviews weeded out.

      Hi Cameron, we understand your concern. The review you previously left of Sunergy Solar was hidden because it listed the full names of individual employees who work for the company, which is a risk to individual privacy and therefore violates our review policy. Reviews of companies are always welcome, but we take seriously privacy protections for everyone who interacts with EnergySage, from our customers to our employees. We’re sorry for any confusion.

      We have a grant to buy solar for 3 properties. We wanted a broker to help us avoid the solar con men out there. Turns out Energysage is one of them. Pretty much strung us along. Wasted several weeks because we were really excited about the program. I would not recommend it at all. I would suggest avoiding them if you have any other alternatives.

      Excellent experience with EnergySage. Maria was knowledgeable, unbiased and answered each of my questions in a complete, straightforward and clear way. No pressure to accept proposals from "their' vendors. Easy and timely access for consultation and proposals delivered in an understandable way. Highly recommended!

      They directed me toward a specific company with false promises. I am not happy to be without 20k and without solar. I thought I would get honest impartial advice. I only got smart indirect sales with support.

      Stay away. This is a classic bait and switch!! They will raise the price once you gave them a deposit. Don’t waste your time on this. They are showing you lower prices upfront just to get you to sign..

      EnergySage did not provide any information or helpful advice. It was a waste of time. My questions were never answered. The EnergySage "consultant" was not knowledgeable. Do your own research. You'll be better off.
