What Freedom Solar Power customers say

Freedom Solar Power gets high ratings related to the company’s solar technology. Many also appreciate the knowledgeable sales reps and the efficient installation process.

“Those guys are great,” one customer, Juan in Texas, told us about Freedom Solar Power’s staff last year. “They're a legit company and the material they use is good. They give you the choice to select what type of solar do you want. They will also help you all the way. When there was a storm, they came in and fixed them real quick,” Juan said. He also mentioned that his electricity has gone down significantly since.

However, some reviewers have complained about communication issues and problems with system performance after the installation is complete. Overall, opinions are somewhat divided, with some customers recommending the company and others advising against it.

Recent Freedom Solar Power reviews

• "Looking into solar energy made sense, and I found Freedom Power when I searched the internet. I talked to several different companies and one would think I was the only person they were dealing with because all the salespeople responded very quickly to any comments or questions I had. They were all very eager to talk to me when I was exploring the option of going with their company. That was my same experience with Freedom Power. I signed up and the installation team was fine.

  "I've been with Freedom Power since last November, and my experience with them has been good. We had the salesperson as our customer service representative, and when they were in the selling process, they were very responsive, but their post-installation response time is a little slow. For example, part of the deal was they would pay for any early termination fee I had with my previous electricity provider and I'm still waiting for that. I also had a question about the efficiency or how the system was working.

  "I sent an email to the sales representative, which has been really our only contact with this company and he said he forwarded on to their service department. That was a week ago. I sent him an email today asking when I should hear from them. He hasn't responded. Freedom Power is a little lagging on the post-installation service and I'd advise people to be aware of that. Like any company, their post-installation service is not gonna be the same as the sales process was." — Jack in Fulshear, TX

• "Signup was good. We wanted to get a cheaper bill and Freedom Power Solar's price was decent. Their customer service is also good and working with solar is as easy enough as it can be. The system is not doing anything other than what it's supposed to, so things are going well." — Doug in Lavon, TX

Is Freedom Solar Power a scam?

We’ve done the research and combed through reviews from verified customers. We can confidently say that Freedom Solar Power is not a scam.

In fact, Gage in Texas said he considered several solar companies — “and Freedom Solar was the one that seemed to be the least scammy.” Other reps had “clearly more shady disingenuous pricing options that weren't based on how much the panels were gonna cost and that were based more on what they thought would be able to get from me.” Gage liked that Freedom Solar Power reps set pricing “truly based on the actual value of the system.”

Solar energy's cost-effectiveness varies depending on your location and energy consumption. With that in mind, Freedom Solar Power may not be the right choice for you, but its products and services are not scams. Unfortunately, however, solar scams are something to look out for.
