    I first heard about Freedom Solar when I started searching for alternatives to handle the high electric bills in Florida, which have tripled since I moved there in 2020. Given that Florida is such a sunny state, solar energy seemed like the right choice. Out of several companies I considered, Freedom Solar offered the best deal and seemed very reputable.

    The sign-up process was relatively good. The representative was upfront and honest, though there were some initial hurdles to overcome. Once those were addressed, everything proceeded quite smoothly.

    I've only recently started relying on solar, so I haven't had enough time to see how it impacts my electric bills. There's an app that tracks production, but I haven't yet been able to correlate that data with my bills. I'm waiting for my first complete bill reflecting my solar usage to see the actual savings.

    I've already recommended Freedom Solar to others. I evaluated five companies, and Freedom Solar stood out with honest communication and years of experience—about 17 years, which is reassuring in an industry full of transient companies.

    As for the product itself, they use solar panels that produce slightly less power than the latest models, which I understand requires extra panels. However, despite the recent hurricane, the panels held up without issue, though it's too soon to speak to their long-term durability.

    On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd rate my experience with Freedom Solar a 4, maybe even 4.5. Customer service is about a 4.5, and the product itself I'd rate a 4 due to the slightly older model panels. Pricing deserves a solid 5; the lease agreement I have means my payments stay flat over 30 years, which saves significantly compared to other companies with annual price hikes. Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with Freedom Solar.

      I wanted to contribute to the environment, so my husband and I considered solar power. I contacted five different companies and Freedom was the only one that returned my call and showed up when they said they were going to. One company was a pure scam and the other three, we have never heard from. With Freedom Solar, our contact, Danny has been right on top of everything and in touch. We're now just waiting for the inspector and the city to come with the new meter.

      Rob from Freedom Solar was also straightforward and professional, spending hours explaining everything to us, which was a key reason we chose them over others. However, when the guys came to put the panels in, they went up on the roof and said, “No. We're not gonna put the panels in today. You need a roof first.” It would have been helpful if Rob had a little more experience in determining whether the roof needed replacement and that would have saved us about a month and a half in getting the installation.

      Despite this, I am completely satisfied with Freedom Solar. The installation team was professional and knew what they were doing. They're also planning to install an animal rack around the panels so the critters don't move. Overall, I've recommended Freedom Solar to several people. I've been very pleased with our decision to go solar with them, and I tell friends about the process and what Freedom did for us. I rate their customer service and product highly, although the sales process could improve with better roof inspections.

      I did a web search of some solar companies in Dallas, Texas on Reddit, and I saw that Freedom Solar had a really good customer service rating and everyone recommended them. My first interest in solar was, previous to this home, one of my friends had said they got solar and they had loved it because it was helping them cut down the cost and they were locking in their energy rate for years to come. That's what we wanted to do with it.

      The signup experience was easy. I went on Freedom Solar's website and they put me in touch with a sales person. The sales person was really good about answering my questions. It wasn't salesy. He was giving me all the information that I needed. When I said I'm gonna look at some other places, he said, “Make sure you ask these questions. These are super important.” He ushered me through the process. My only downside to that whole experience was after the sale, that customer support from the sales person dropped off a little, and it was more or less he had already gotten the sale so he didn't need to help me as much as possible. He still helps a bit here and there, but he wasn't as supportive as it was before the sale. In a way, that could be viewed by other people as skeezy. They're gonna do everything they can before they get the sale, but once they get the sale, it's a situation like, “Okay. Here's the process. Good luck.”

      The installation was the best part of the process. It was in and out, and the team was amazing. The guy came to the front door, introduced it, and said, “Hey, I'm sorry. We got here a little early. Is it okay that we start a few minutes early?” I said, “Absolutely!” They were done in just a few hours. The guy came in and told me the next step and shook my hand. That was a really great experience, and everything's been working really well. However, I was a little frustrated because after the sale and the installation, they dropped the ball on the process explanation. I've called and talked to them about this.

      I got these generic messages about the portal, and I go on there and I would call. Sometimes, the agents would give me wrong information. It pushed our completion date out a little because we were waiting for something that I needed to do on my own. When I followed up with Garland Power and Light, they said, “Yeah, you need to send an email to this to get it scheduled to permission to operate.” Getting our completion date pushed a bit was a little frustrating to me because we were trying to get it started as soon as possible. However, it was really great and generous that they paid for the first month of our loan because that had got pushed out for completion.

      Aside from customer service, I am a little frustrated to this point right now because we signed up with Freedom Solar and went with the SunPower route due to being able to get two rebates. One was $1,500 from Freedom Solar and the other one was $2,500 from SunPower. We were waiting on that from SunPower and I reached out to Freedom Solar to see if they could help me with that. I found out that SunPower is about to go through a bankruptcy, and no one really wants to try to help me to get that. We were expecting to get another $2,500 back in rebates, and we are left out in the dark of what we need to do. It would be very good of a business for them to offer us that rebate because that's the reason we went with that route. Otherwise, we may not even have gotten solar at that point because $2,500, to us, is a deal.

      Freedom Solar has always made it right. They've always reached out to me and got back to me if I had a complaint or if I was upset. The installation and the current functioning is amazing. I appreciate that they went out of their way to give me a call back and say, “Hey, we're gonna try to fix that process. We appreciate the feedback.” I would definitely go with them because they seem like they're trusting.

      Freedom Solar sent out a salesperson who answered all of our questions and was very transparent and aboveboard. The price that they said it was gonna be was exactly what it was. After we signed the contract, they had to have their guy come out and determine what it would look like. Our roof is not flat and he wanted to check the angles and see if they needed to prop them up. That took about three weeks. Then they came up with the design for it but Core held them up for about a month on the design. Core limits how many panels we can have to how much we use, which they vastly underestimated and we will be getting more panels. Core only allowed us to get nine panels and we need at least 11.

      Once Core okayed the design and the installation, Freedom Solar had the panels down here within another two weeks and got all the panels on within less than two weeks. They got all the wiring set up and got the proper labels that Core wanted on the box. It took an extra week because they didn't like Freedom Solar’s labels. Eliminating the delays caused by Core, it took Freedom Solar three months from the start of the contract to getting the panels up on our roof.

      Freedom Solar couldn't put the batteries in until they got the clearance. It took us six months to go online because of Core, our electrical company, and to a point where we had to stay in a motel one night because they had insisted that they take us offline so that they could check all the circuits. But they didn't come out to check them. Freedom Solar couldn't turn them back on again without Core saying it was okay to do it. Freedom Solar put us up in a dog-friendly motel, so we could bring our dog with us, and they paid for our dinner.

      We would do it again with Freedom Solar. When our house got hit by lightning and all of the panels tripped, we called Freedom Solar and they had it fixed within 15 minutes. I paid the electric bill today and it was $37, which is low. $25 of that is the fee they charge us every month for being attached to the grid. It used to be significantly more because lights, TVs, and radios. I work remotely as well. We also have an EV that we charge. My husband goes in the app all the time and likes looking at it. He's very happy with it. It's like a new toy.

      I liked the sales guy who came out and talked to me. He respected my time and the price was right compared to other systems that I could use. Their project managers were good but communication could have been a little bit better with Freedom and their project management. It's just there was one transition where I think one project manager got moved to a different department or a different area. I had to start over with a new project manager. Also, there was more rules and regulations than I thought going into the project of getting my house hooked up with solar. We were going back and forth between the electric company, the county, and Freedom Solar, making sure that everyone was on the same page. But it all got resolved and everything's running great right now. The solar has been active for three to four months now and there's been little bit of cost savings compared to what I was paying.

      Freedom Solar does the monitoring and they will notify me if someone needs to come out and make any adjustments to my panels. I also have an application on my phone where I can monitor the performance of the system and I think there is a way that I can individually look at them. They've needed to make adjustments to the system once. It happened not even a month after the install and the permission to go ahead and operate was granted. They were cut on and about three weeks later, I got a phone call from Freedom, saying that they were monitoring the system and one of the panels needed a slight adjustment and that a technician would be out that day. They came out and they didn't even bother me at all. They just got up on the roof, made whatever adjustment that they needed to, and everything was working at its peak performance from there.

      It took a couple of months from the presentation to the installation of our panels due to approvals needed from the HOA, but once that was sorted, the installation day went smoothly with an excellent crew.

      I chose a system with a backup battery and, while still in its early stages, I find that the setup from panels to battery, then to my house, and back to the grid is working well. I have two apps—Tesla and Enlighten—to monitor the power output.

      I'd recommend going with Freedom Solar. Overall, I'd rate my experience a solid 5 out of 5, particularly the service quality and the installation process. There was a small issue, but nothing that majorly impacted my satisfaction.

      Freedom Solar Power's sales representative, Chris, thoroughly explained everything and reassured me about the process. His ability to simplify everything was notable, reducing the complexity often associated with solar installations. The installation was handled by a friendly and competent team, especially the electricians, who made it a seamless all-day procedure. Their professionalism left a lasting impression, but one minor concern arose: the placement of panels near tall trees, which may require adjustment. Other than that, I'm really happy I got this solar that easy, because sometimes some companies make things very complicated. All in all, Freedom Solar did a good job and everything was on time.

      After I decided to go with Freedom Solar, I applied online, then I received a call from them. Although I've only had the system for three days before going overseas on leave, the initial experience has been quite good. The entire process, including the installation, went smoothly. While being away means I haven't kept up as closely as I would like, I appreciate having an app on my phone to track what the system is producing.

      I still have the same bill, or higher, for my electricity and I'm waiting when I'm back to call Freedom. I have one brother living in Philadelphia who had a solar system installed and his electricity bill is constant for him. Besides that, I would definitely consider recommending Freedom Solar to my other brother in Texas.
