Project Solar service areas

Project Solar serves most of the continental U.S., though services are currently unavailable in Alaska and Hawaii.

Average solar panel cost by state

In states where the company has vetted partners, you can opt for a full-service installation. If a partner isn’t available in your specific area, DIY options are available for those comfortable with managing the physical install themselves. You can check Project Solar’s availability in your area on its website.

*Before any financial incentives

Project Solar solar panels and equipment

Project Solar uses black-on-black monocrystalline solar panels. Depending on current inventory and regional availability, it typically offers the following equipment:

  • Solar panels: Q-Cells (390 to 410 watts), Canadian Solar (395 watts), Freedom Forever (400 watts) and Silfab (430 watts).
  • Inverter: Enphase Energy IQ8+ microinverter.
  • Racking: IronRidge, Ecofasten and Unirac, based on roof type.
  • Batteries: Options include the Enphase Energy IQ 5P, Tesla Powerwall 3, and Project Solar’s proprietary Power Bank and Expansion Pack series.
  • Power bank accessories: Project Solar portable solar panels and Project Solar EZ Cart.

Project Solar installation

Project Solar offers two distinct options for going solar: full-service and DIY.

  • Full-service installation: This process typically takes between two and four months from the time the deposit is made to installation. Project Solar vets and partners with independent, NABCEP-certified installers to perform the labor. These installations include a double-backed warranty.
  • DIY installation: If you choose this route, you’re responsible for installing the solar system yourself or hiring a local installer. Project Solar handles the design, engineering, permitting and equipment procurement. The hardware is then shipped directly to you for installation.

Project Solar services

Every Project Solar system is compatible with the Enphase app for solar energy monitoring. This service allows you to track exactly how much energy your panels produce versus how much energy you’re consuming.

Project Solar costs

Project Solar uses a straightforward, flat pricing model to avoid the hidden fees often found in the industry. As of publication, pricing averages about $2.45 per watt fully installed and $2 per watt for DIY, before any incentives. The following pricing structures apply:

  • DIY equipment: $1.80 to $2.10 per watt.
  • Full-service installation: Adds $0.50–$0.70 per watt to the DIY price above, depending on location.
  • Battery storage: Enphase battery system installation typically starts around $9,796, though this varies by state.

Financing

Project Solar offers internal financing without prepayment penalties and accepts third-party financing. Through a Project Solar partner lender, you can choose between plans that prioritize a lower overall cost (with shorter terms) or lower monthly payments.

Project Solar warranty

Project Solar provides a double-backed 25-year warranty for equipment and workmanship. This means that Project Solar and its subcontractor installers are liable for the quality of the installation. The warranty also specifically covers panel-related roof leaks. For its Project Solar portable battery products, you can also purchase a 12- to 36-month warranty extension.

    The initial project started good, with me giving 2 names for referrals so they could be future customers to project solar. But thank God there was a mix up in the contact that I gave them and they were never called. This would be a trend with project solar as there were about 4-5 screw ups including 3 failures, one with the city and 2 with my electric company, which is very hard to do but they managed to screw that up. If I didn't follow up I still would not be connected.

    The cost savings involved with installing your own solar system and the savings in electrical bills going forward had me interested in signing up with Project Solar. Everything was straightforward, especially regarding the equipment they supplied. The sign-up process was simple and for the installation, I opted for a self-install. I still worked full-time, so I did it on the evenings and weekends. The entire installation process took less than a month.

    Since turning the system online, I've been producing more energy than I use, so I am in the positive. I’m also able to charge my electric car with it. I've been asked many times about Project Solar because the system is on my house and I’ve shared that the process was straightforward. They worked with me, and I did not feel pressured to buy it. Project Solar was right there with anything I wanted to change and was quite accommodating.

      I talked to a salesperson to go through and get a formal quote. It was great that I could do the first base level part of the quote online. I like the process that they had set up. It worked well. The quote was great. There are no surprises, which is good.

      After the contract was signed and payments were made, and when working with the other party for doing the install and set up, it'd be good for the Project Solar guys to be more responsive to questions. It took a couple of days sometimes, which should have been done same day. That piece could be improved.

      Installing the solar panels was pretty easy. I did it myself and spread it out over a few days. I watched a couple of houses put them on, so I got an idea of what to do. I installed 12 panels, 395 with the Enphase IQ8+ inverters. This was an upgrade since it's better than what I was supposed to get. When I had a problem with one of my solar panels, it took six months of dealing with Project Solar. But then, they finally hired somebody who knew what he was doing, and he fixed the problem right away.

      It's been three years now and my bill is down to zero. I'm also under the 2.0 system where I am given credit for the extra power. Back in December, I added a hybrid heat pump water heater. It takes about 400 watts to run and I didn't even notice the difference on my consumption.

      Signing up for Project Solar was pretty smooth. I backed out and then come back a year later and went ahead and did it. But it was smooth. No one came to the house, but there was someone that I regularly dealt with online. It was through text and email. He was good at letting me figure out what to do.

      The monthly bill is a big thing. Last month, we had a $40 bill, which was rare. They had all been $16, so maybe I didn’t get quite enough solar power. The cost of going with Project Solar was good, though, compared to others I looked at. The cost was solid.

      I should say I was with another company before and it was a bad experience. This was a good experience in comparison. I almost didn’t do solar again just because of the bad experience I had in the past.

      There are two parts to the company. There's the marketing and customer service, which is Project Solar. The other is installation, which is Freedom Forever. Once there's an agreement and you pay the project cost, Project Solar hands it over to Freedom Forever to execute. Freedom Forever was quick about getting the system installed in the house, but then they had to make several changes to the design and engineering based upon what they did rather than do the design and engineering first and then installation. These delays took weeks.

      After installation, you have to have it inspected. We live in a manufactured home and so, there were two inspections. One is of the home itself with the solar panels, which went fairly quick and well once the design and engineering was completed. The inspection was done by Labor And Industries here. The other half is the electrical part of the installation, which has to be done by a separate inspector. Labor And Industries was sending out a person to do the inspection, and on their way here, they realized we're in the city of Renton and should have to run the inspection through the city.

      Freedom Forever, who schedules these and helps make them happen, scheduled an inspection for about 10 days later. On the day of the inspection, nobody showed up. I went to call Freedom Forever on a Thursday and it wasn't until Tuesday that I finally connected with somebody. Up until last night, I had heard no confirmations that they had connected with the city of Renton for an inspection. That was three weeks.

      Last night, I got a text asking for my availability. I said tomorrow, which is today, and then all next week except for Monday afternoon. They sent me back a note this morning saying they've scheduled with Renton for Monday. I said okay, as long as they can come in the morning. However, we'll only be able to find out the window on the day of the inspection. I already experienced this the last time when they didn't show up. I called Freedom Forever the day before asking for a time window, which I had to wait on the phone for an hour to get ahold of somebody, and, finally, the guy said he couldn't give me a time window other than from six in the morning till noon. That's a pretty big time window. And Freedom Forever is supposed to send somebody out with the inspectors to answer questions, because I'm not a specialist in this. I'm hiring their company to be the specialist. So we'll find out if there's going to be a conflict on Monday.

      I really have no recourse at this time because the system has been installed and I paid the money. It could be 6 months before I actually get the product functioning. Part of it is just how long it takes to get through inspections and approvals from the state and the city, but Freedom Forever has been a real mess-up. They should have a checklist of things they need to do as they go through each of the steps in their process. I couldn't get them to tell me what is the next step. Project Solar's people have been great to work with, but they should be able to tell what was going on with the project. Not just their side of the house, but the other side of the house. Because as a consumer, I get them both.

      A family member who also used Project Solar referred me to them. And I had a good experience with them. The purchasing process was no pressure. And they hired Freedom Solar to do the installation. It’s been six months since it was set up, and I’m noticing a difference. I’m definitely saving on my energy bill. So, it was worth it given that they’re fairly low-priced versus the competitors. It would have been the same system for a lot higher price due to everyone else needing to get paid.

Stated that it was a "scare tactic" Should have known better, 10 months in and I still don't have solar which was bought and paid for. Extreme difficulty getting answers or problems resolved with this sales company or the installation company. The nearest service person from the installation company is 5 hours away! Totally misleading and now have a 30k worth of solar and battery which is useless. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, GO DIRECTLY THROUGH A LOCAL INSTALLER.

      I really wanted to like this company and what they do. They made an effort to keep costs low, which is great, but it appears to be just a sales office for Freedom Forever in most areas. Which I guess is fine if everything goes as planned and you have no issues. But read the fine print and don’t take any verbal guarantees from Project Solar for any value. They will not honor them. The only agreement you have is your contract with Freedom Forever or the installer.

      Their cancellation protection is close to worthless. I was reassured that I would receive my money back after the installer expressed strong concern about my roof and then said they would continue to install if I wanted. Project Solar said repeatedly that I would receive the full amount in refund, so I elected to get my money back. Only after I had cancelled was it determined that I would lose the $1000 deposit. Project Solar said they would put in a claim on my behalf to receive that deposit, but they did not do so. I understand that there are costs associated with starting and canceling a project, but they reassured me I would receive the money back and then did not do anything to get it back to me and then lied about putting in a claim. Additionally, even getting the lump sum payment back from the installer was very difficult and took over 3 weeks.

      I wanted to follow up on my previous review regarding the issues I encountered with Solar Prospect. After expressing my frustrations, the company did respond, and I have to acknowledge that they have taken accountability for the damage caused during the solar panel installation. They reached out and assured me that they are committed to making things right.

      Original Review: Dec. 4, 2024

      I am beyond furious with Solar Prospect. Their careless and improper installation of solar panels completely destroyed my roof, causing water damage throughout my home. They admitted their mistake by coming back to remove the panels and attempting to fix the roof, but now they refuse to take responsibility for the extensive water damage their negligence caused.

      Their actions (or lack thereof) have left my home structurally compromised, and their attitude has made this nightmare even worse. They have been unresponsive, slow to act, and unapologetic about the mess they created. Once they have your money, they clearly don’t care about the damage they leave behind. This company has shown zero accountability, and I wouldn’t trust them to handle anything, let alone something as important as your home. DO NOT HIRE THEM. Go anywhere else but here if you value your property and peace of mind!

      I recently installed solar panels with Project Solar and everything they promised was delivered on time and as agreed upon. I receive an electric bill each month that shows zero and I even have credit for the winter, which is fantastic. During the installation, I had a new roof put on at the same time as part of the whole project, and everything was seamless. They let me choose the roof color, and I got a second opinion on the roofing shingles from other contractors, who confirmed that the roof's quality was excellent and cost-effective. The Project Solar team arrived on time, worked neatly, cleaned up after themselves, and completed everything by the end of the day without any issues.

      The solar panels were installed shortly after and all the necessary approvals and connections were handled smoothly. A project manager was available to answer any questions I had throughout the process. I was extremely pleased with their professionalism and efficiency. If friends or family ask about my experience, I would definitely recommend looking into Project Solar.

      I found Project Solar while searching online for DIY solutions. Their cost-efficient options were the main reason I chose them. The no sales person sign-up process was appealing, as it gave me control without any sales tactics. I appreciated the transparency about costs and process, although I had prior vendor visits which helped inform my decision.

      Overall, my experience with Project Solar was smooth. There were wait periods for some elements to be exported, but I believe that's part of the process. Everything was transparent except for some initial confusion about the panels. The panels offered to me were changed, but they resolved it to my satisfaction upon request.

      Project Solar was simple and cost-efficient. For main panel upgrades, the help and permissions were quick, and the intermediaries made it straightforward. Although some steps required patience, it seemed like a natural part of the process. The customer service was excellent. They addressed concerns about safety promptly, even adjusting their work to accommodate our young children. It's commendable when a company remains dedicated even after closing a deal.

      I rate their customer service and product both at 5, although the price could be slightly lower. However, considering the overall experience, I'm satisfied.

      My interest in solar services started with the idea of offsetting electricity costs. Project Solar came up during my research, and after comparing options, they emerged as the best choice. My experience with them has been positive overall, though after installing three systems, I noticed the company grew. It would have been helpful to have one contact person instead of dealing with multiple departments and managers, but I'm happy with the service.

      I started using solar about five years ago, with installations at my current house two years ago and the latest less than a year ago. I'd rate my experience with Project Solar as a five. For anyone considering solar, I’d recommend researching and looking into Project Solar.

      At the time I was looking into solar options, I compared quotes from about 35 different companies. It was months of research, because prices were all over the place. Project Solar's pricing was by far the least expensive for high-quality equipment. I was very happy with them. Monalee is another one that's similar, but slightly more pricey.

      I highly recommend Project Solar to others because they offer the least expensive yet high-quality solar solutions.

      In terms of my experience, I would rate them five stars for the overall satisfaction and price. The quality of service and customer service I would rate as four stars.

      They told us what part to buy. And we bought it. But they wouldn't install it because it wasn't part of the agreement. So, it's still sitting here. Communication and instructions could have been a little clearer. Despite this, I'm still quite satisfied with them, especially since there's a noticeable difference in our electricity bill. It's like night and day—it's been great. Unfortunately, they never set up any online system for us to monitor our electricity usage, which I wish they had.
