Project Solar Reviews

Signing up with Project Solar was easy. They were very transparent and the price is really good.

Project Solar was the cheapest and my experience with them went very smoothly. They were brand-new when I used them and they didn't have as many contractors so it took a little longer than I see what it takes now. But other than that, they did everything they said. It's been three years now and I refer them to everybody I know.

I had a great experience with Project Solar. They were quite transparent, clearly communicating what they planned to do and what I needed. The installation process was handled by a third party, and they informed me in advance when they would be at my house. It only took about a day or two to complete the installation. Since then, everything has been running smoothly, and I've noticed an improvement in my electrical bills. Overall, I'm very satisfied with Project Solar.

I recently worked with "Project Solar" to install solar panels on my home, and it was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. The team displayed impressive professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. They provided clear and detailed information about solar energy, the installation process, and potential savings. The project manager was very responsive, answering all my questions with patience and care. The installation crew was punctual, respectful, and worked efficiently to complete the job on time. I highly recommend them to anyone considering switching to solar energy.

While I am happy for the people who did not seem to have any trouble, the same cannot be said for many people, including myself. A review of the Better Business Bureau will reveal a consistent thread of issues: poor communications, lack of proper record keeping and poor skills in their chosen field. The sheer volume of email required and the 10+ months which my project took made any "savings" not worth the time and effort expended. The only saving grace, by luck, is that the sub-contracted installer was good (their electrician had to throw out Project Solar's design because it was not in compliance with electrical code; thank god I did not get a dangerous design implemented). People who were stuck with a poor installer are in even deeper trouble than my situation. These people do not have their act together. Even worse, they wanted to trade bad, but truthful reviews, to settle a dispute. Disgraceful.

My experience with Project Solar has been a nightmare, involving over 160 emails and culminating in a pigeon infestation. I began my project with them in March 2021, initially attracted by their lower prices compared to other solar providers. Initially, everything seemed fine, and I even convinced my father to sign up with them. However, the problems began soon after.

Having spent countless hours/days/weeks trying to decide which solar company to use, dealing with the other guys and their salespeople, it was a breath of fresh air to find Project Solar! Quite aside from fabulous price (which was considerably lower than the nearest competitor), Project Solar’s team do a great job of finding the right balance between being there when you need them, and never hassling you to sign a deal. That kind of approach is (as you’ll find out while shopping for solar) different, very welcome, and a deal-maker for me.

There was no sales pressure with Project Solar. Before that, I met with some solar companies as well but it was too much pressure to me. They wanted me to sign immediately. With Project Solar, though I signed up in November, I proceeded the following year. When I was ready, I contacted them and the consultation started. Whenever I called, they took my call. They explained the process, what needed to be done and how I could follow up with my energy provider to get the things done quickly.

I moved into a new bigger house and I was expecting to get big utility bills. I started researching all the different solar companies and getting solar. I decided to go to Project Solar because it seemed to me like they have less of the middle people. It was a lower cost and more efficient for me to get it through them than get it with some other companies that have a lot of middle people. I'll recommend them.

The sign-up process at Project Solar was very easy and convenient and I liked it. They were very transparent and upfront with everything they told me and what they did. The installers were always responsive and informed me of what they were doing or going to do. Overall, it was a very good experience.

My experience was very good. I put the order in and they took care of everything. My one complaint was how long it took, but I don't know if that was overly long or if that's just normal. I put the order in in September and it took until May for everything to get turned on. But I was able to track the progress via the website, which was very convenient and the install went very smoothly. They sent their subcontractors out and they got everything put in. One thing is they didn't tell me about critter guard, which is a fencing they can put around the bottom of the solar panel to keep animals from going under the solar panel. I bought that and then the contractors came back out and put it up.

So far, so good. Everything was done like Project Solar said it was gonna happen. Installation took a little longer than they said it would, but that’s simply because of the weather, so that's not a concern. Apart from that, they said it would take two days. Since going solar, we've seen a reduction in our electricity bill. I'm into stats, and it's about 86%. People can't beat the prices, and I was very happy about that.

We contacted an agent and he asked for some information, and my husband filled out the form. Because of Google Apps, the rep could see our roof and dimensions, and he gave the information of how much energy we use. It took a little while for the engineers to get back to us but that was the only delay. Once it was approved, the installation was excellent. The installation people were awesome. They did it one day and just took care of it. We needed to clear out an area in our garage and they cleaned it up. The three men who came in worked in sync. They hardly talked. They just got going and did it. They even touched up the paint. It was a 12-hour day for them but they did not stop until they finished the job. We had 20 panels and for the electricity that we use, that was enough. During the summer months, we produce high energy and it's less in the winter months. But we can have sufficient energy produced by the solar panels.

The gentleman came, did the work, and was gone. It was great. However, we had a little problem at the beginning. The person from Project Solar didn't get back to us like he should have. So, our solar didn't get put in as soon as it should have. But after we got the right person, it went well. Our electricity bill has gone down.

I reached out to Project Solar and they came back with a proposal. They gave me the name of the local installer and I called them personally and talked to them. Project Solar also gave me a customer that they’ve done installations with and they gave rave reviews. The subcontractor that Project Solar hired to do the installation was awesome. I've been up a little over a year now and things are going well.

Right from putting the deposit down, Project Solar was very communicative. I put the deposit down in April, and it was all the way up until end of August before we got the installers out. We've gone through all the initial process of sending in photos of everything that we needed to do and get the survey done. And there was a month and a bit of silence where I wasn't sure what was going on. So, I contacted them, they explained it to me, and that was fine. They also told me that they were adjusting their processes to make sure that it was clearer upfront. The worst part of the whole process was waiting for all the permits to go through. It took a while. There was a bit of miscommunication at the beginning where they didn't tell me exactly how long the permits could take, but they quickly cleared up any confusion on my end up. So overall, I had a good experience. I've recommended them to everybody I've spoken to that is interested in solar.

If your project isn't cookie cutter, you will probably end up being the project manager. Make sure you have the time and energy to take on this role, and that it's worth your time to do so. My installation ended up taking 14 months from when I signed up with Project Solar and I'm convinced it may have taken longer had I not taken up a part-time job as a project manager specifically following up with Project Solar, their installers, and finally, Enphase.

With what's going on in the world right now, I researched solar energy services. I saw Project Solar on Facebook and it answered my questions. The purchase process was all digital, and I'd rather go that route wherein there were no salespersons. I only had a couple of questions. I haven't used the unit though. I haven't taken them out of the boxes yet.

The few couple of times I used the solar generator, everything was easy and worked out fine. It's plug and play. I start with the battery charged and it's ready to go. I recharge the battery after I'm done, and I would bring it up to capacity and that would make it ready for the next time. The literature said that it holds a good percentage up to a year.

Project Solar's price was a little better for the same thing as the other companies. I got the solar panels and the actual power pack. The installation was very easy. The only thing I'd be disappointed is the solar power would take a long time to charge the machine. It's 12 or 15 hours with just the one panel that came with it.

Project Solar sold me the equipment and I did the installation. They have some videos that I watched that were helpful. I looked at the actual equipment manufacturer's installation instructions as well. Everything was clear and straightforward.

I'm happy with my experience with Project Solar. The unit I bought seems to be functioning as advertised and there are no issues. It's for when we travel, camp and standby power. I wanted to be able to have a little power if we were away from the grid. Their sign-up process was very easy. The little carrying cart that came with my unit was missing a piece when I started to assemble it. I called and asked them if they could replace the piece. Within 10 days, a whole new cart assembly came. I'm very thrilled with their customer service. I'm also very satisfied with the product.

I'm happy with Project Solar. When I got my generator, the price was great. They knocked a lot off. The delivery time was a little long, but other than that, it was all right. I've tried out the generator and it worked. I haven't used it for long periods of time, but so far, it's up and running.

A few departments of Project Solar are okay but not the other departments. They essentially scheduled all the designs and the city permits without in fact inspecting the place to know whether or not the project is feasible. That was an issue. I asked them, “Hey, can you make sure whether you guys can really do it as is, without having to do any modifications?” They said, “Yeah. We can do it.” Later on, they came back and said, “Oops. We can't do it on this floor.” Finding out whether or not they can do it on that floor should have been their first step rather than the fifth step.

I got a power station and a foldout panel from Project Solar, and I can power everything in the house with them, except a 220-volt. Compared to everybody else, they're 10 to 15% cheaper and the products are high quality.

I am not one to write a negative review. I in fact cannot remember the last time I had to do so, but this case warrants it. Project Solar has been nothing but incompetent and untruthful. The salesperson that sold me the project stated the work will take no more than 6 months and all equipment is already in inventory. I was also assured no roof work was needed, and they even had an inspection that stated the same. Now the project hits 2 years where I regularly get price increases.

I bought the solar panel generator from Project Solar and the customer service was excellent. I love my product. They give you a portable cart that tows the product to make it easier to move around and the handle on mine broke. I asked if I could have it repaired or replaced and they sent me the whole carry container on wheels to replace it. It took a week which was quicker than I anticipated. The product gives me the security of knowing that I can go in the woods or go without electricity and be able to use my devices for an amount of time.

I bought the solar panel and the 2,000-watt generator from Project Solar. The generator is not very big and it's easy to maneuver. The biggest thing we like about it is you can use it indoors because I have a bigger gas generator that I use outside. But the critical thing to that was in the snow, you can use it indoors. The quality seems really good. The price point was a little cheaper than 4Patriots.

My experience has been excellent. And I don't feel the need to shop around for any other company. Project Solar is practical. They're well-priced, and they work with their customers. It's a great company. I love that the cart came with Project Solar, and it was fairly priced versus the other ones. So I thought, "You know what? I'll take a chance and order it. If I don't like it, hey, I can always order something else."

All the systems are all in the same price band and the one from Project Solar was a bit less. Since their price was attractive, I bought the system online and it came quickly. It was complete, and I did the install myself. I haven't experienced any problems with it.
