    I liked the no-salesperson sign-up. I knew what I wanted so I knew exactly what I was looking for and what I was gonna buy. I also knew what price I was willing to pay. My initial order from Project Solar was lost in the mail and they couldn't find it so they ended up having to ship me a new order. I was happy with what I got. It just took a long time to get from the time that I ordered it to the time that I got it. They said it would take 7 to 10 days from the time I ordered because it went ground and they never showed up. Then, they said they were gonna put in a case for it. Another couple of weeks went by and I asked if it was gonna make it. I had to wait for them to put a ticket in and another week went by. Eventually, I got notified that a new order had been placed. But I had to wait another 7 to 10 days on top of that.

    I couldn't get Project Solar’s customer service to address the situation immediately. It took way longer to get it resolved than I was expecting. But I'm satisfied with the product. I have a portable solar generator. It comes on a cart and it's got a couple of fold-out 200-watt solar panels that I can charge anywhere I'm on the road. I can run anything that is rated for a certain amount of wattage it puts out. Anything higher than 2,200 is not gonna run. I like the price. I got exactly what I wanted and exactly what I paid. It was a good deal.

    Project Solar was good to work with. They were friendly, helpful, and had all the answers I needed. The problem was that it took time to get responses while dealing over the phone and generally by text messaging. I'm sure they're probably overworked. But it took a little bit longer than it would have taken if I had it installed by a normal company. There was a delay time in relaying information back and forth. But they were 100% transparent. What they told me I was gonna get was what I got. They didn't try to boost up the job. They did all the blueprints. They also did everything else for me.

    The installers were fantastic. They did the job well, and left in about a five-hour window. They were helpful and answered any questions I had. They went above and beyond their normal job matching a conduit paint to my house siding. It is a top rate product. I should have gotten a few more panels. There is a way to do that, but it's too troublesome right now. I discovered towards the end of the job that they didn't take into account my pool pump or energy. But with everything else, the job was good. The main reason I went with them was the price. They're not paying overhead or for salespeople. They could save us a lot of money.

    Reviewed Feb. 7, 2024

    I did a lot of research and chose Project Solar for the product that they offered because of the price and I'm more of a DIY person. But they made quite a few mistakes and they're not offering much of a customer service product so you can't expect a whole lot out of them. Compared to a typical company that charges 50 grand, they're only charging a little bit.

    There were miscommunications with the net metering. They kept saying they would do it but they didn't. I kept waiting and my solar system was turned on. They kept making up stories and finally, they told me that I was gonna have to do it myself. I would have been fine with it if they had just been honest but they kept leading me on. But it wasn't that hard of a process and I did it a second time on a rental house. The second time was much easier because I knew what I was doing. Also, they said they would do the grid tie-in but they later said they wouldn't do it and they gave me a credit for that, which was kind of nice. They gave me a gift card.

    If it's somebody that knows how to do stuff themselves – can they rebuild a carburetor and install solar, I'd recommend Project Solar because they provide the product. But if it's somebody who is not a DIYer, then they're not the right company because you gotta be a self-motivator and figure out stuff on your own.

    The price of the product considering the brand name, the kind of materials that they use for their products, and the quality was considerably better value than other options available. It's really good value for really good components. Also, I liked their no-salesperson sign-up process. It was easy and simple.

    Project Solar has the cheapest option to go solar. Their sign-up process was smooth and we had no issues. There was a manager assigned to my case and all communication was with this manager. It was very quick and good. They told me the price and that was the final price. Nothing was added. The installers also arrived on the day they were supposed to and installed it half a day.

    Project Solar had a really good price. I liked their no-salesperson signup process because their online tool is really easy to use to see all the information that I would normally get from a rep. It was easy to look online. I just had a few other questions and they answered. They were the type that could be answered over email. I called them at one point. They were able to answer my other couple of little questions.

    The installers were from TriSmart. They communicated with me on the timing, and then when they arrived, I had some communication with the team that was gonna install it. They were out of stock of the smaller panels that I was contracted for, and so they offered me larger panels for free, which was nice. But then when they arrived that morning was when I found out about that, and so then they had to review the design because the larger panels wouldn't fit the same way. So that was a little bit of a good surprise because we got more solar than we expected for free.

    I filled something out online and gave them an idea of the kind of system I was looking for. Somebody followed up and I gave them an overview. I ended up talking with an engineer and I was impressed with the skills of the person I was speaking to. Project Solar has been great. I needed a change and they made the change on the system for me. They worked with the local county and set up the inspection and everything was on time. The county wanted to repair so they sent someone out to do the repair the next day. I was happy with the quality of the service relative to the price and I recommend them to other people.

    Project Solar was willing to do all the paperwork but allow me to do the installation. I like that it was no pressure. All the other companies we talked to would call us almost nonstop. The only slowdown was I had to pay for something before they could send it out. Since I was out of town, we missed that soft deadline. When I got back, I paid it. But because of that, it caused a three-week delay. The solar panels that were supposed to come had been sold out so they had to send a different set of panels. But they still sent top-quality panels. The connectors that go underneath the panels appear to be top of the line.

    They explained everything. Whenever I had a question, they would answer it. They were very responsive. They had a project manager who was always available. He not only made sure I had the things I needed, but also if I had a question, he would walk me through. I paid $20,000 more or less for everything. That's including the cost of my own install and the electrician that came out that wasn't part of Project Solar. Then I got a six-plus-thousand-dollar refund from taxes. The entire system, over 10-kilowatt, is $14,000 which is great. I have yet to talk to anybody who has even come close to that price. So far, I'm very satisfied. The system is still working perfectly and it's paying for all of our electricity.

    Project Solar's reps were straightforward. Customer service was fast. It was all over the phone. However, I had to get into my attic, get all the photos and send them to Project Solar. Because they were remotely-based, I had to do everything for them. If it was a local solar company, they would have come to my home and took all those photos. It was an additional work. But given the cost, it's okay.

    Someone else from Los Angeles came all the way here and installed. They had to go with the different places than the drawing. Those places receive more shadow than the actual version of drawing. I bought 12 panels. Two panels were put in a different place that has more shadow. So, my solar energy went less. The person who came to install told me it was very hard to put it in the place that was in the original drawing because they had some openings. So, they could not do that. I wish Project Solar could have found out. But since they had to do everything remotely, that was the best they could do.

    Solar has panels and micro transmitters. I wish Project Solar put an upgraded version. My solar is 395 watts but the end phase transfer would cut it to only 280 or 290. So, 110 watts would go to waste. I thought my solar would produce 395 watts for every panel. But that's not true. Because even though the panel produces that much watts, the DC to AC converter would cut off a lot of those electricity. I wish they told me about all these things. Other than that, they painted all the external tubes.

    I would recommend Project Solar to anybody. I did the rounds, and when I eventually found them, they were a heck of a lot cheaper than anybody else. Also, the consult was lowkey, and the reps spelt it all out. They expressed concern over the amount of trees that I had too. Now, we've had the system for 3 years. We were one of the first ones that had it done in Virginia, and the subcontractor was excellent. They just became an installer for Project Solar, and they did a first-rate job. They also took suggestions well. I was looking at one of the conduits they were putting over my gutters and asked them to route it around them, and they did.

    Customer service has been very good as well. It's been several times that the system has tripped, and the first time, I didn't have a clue what to do. They came out, looked at it, flicked the switch, and that was that. I thought to myself, “Oh, God, I wasted everybody's time.” At other times, they walked me through what I needed to do. I've got no complaints at all. About 4 months of the year, we don't pay a bill at all, and the rest of the time, it's less. I look at the monthly report and it produces approximately 1,000 kilowatts a month at its peak.

    Project Solar engineers the system and have it delivered, then you install it yourself and it saves a lot of money. I like their sales rep and they responded to all my emails. When I was working with them, I felt like I was on a team. Their normal procedure is you install the equipment then they pay an electrician to do the final connection. But because I was certified to do that, I did it myself and they paid me back $500 that they would have paid an electrician. It ended up saving me a lot more money.

    So far, everything works as it should. They use Enphase inverters, I can use the Enphase app, and it's connected via Wi-Fi. I wish it was a slightly bigger system, but that's a limitation of what we could get a permit for. Since I got the system, I didn't pay any electric bill at all for a year and a half until I added an electric car. Now I pay a bill again, but it's a lot less than it could be. Aside from I pay less money, I feel better about the environment. I also recommended them to my brother.

    Signing up with Project Solar was good because there was no pressure and working with them was very good. They were very upfront and they indicated that they use different vendors to do the installations. Everything went just fine and I had no problems with them. Three guys came over for the installation and they were prompt that I even bought them lunch. They were working out there hard and were doing it fast and providing the lines.

    The only hiccup was the City required to do a rough inspection. It was not the final inspection but the whole system was installed. So, when the inspector came over, he said he couldn’t approve it. He was supposed to do a rough inspection first and make sure that all the brackets and all the things were good before the solar panels were put in. Then, there were a lot of snowstorms. My project was pushed back about a month and a half because of that. I was getting very frustrated. In the end, I had to communicate with the City, the installers and Project Solar. I ended up in the middle of this trying to make the arrangements to talk to each other because they were not communicating.

    The City finally came over and the installers as well. They were able to remove what the City wanted to move so they could do the inspection. The City was good enough to do the rough inspections the same day and then, the installers put the panels that they removed. The final inspection was done and it went through the whole process. For some reason, the information was not communicated right to the installers. Or if they knew, they didn't do it right. Other than that, everything went good.

The process was simple as long as you're fairly knowledgeable of interacting online. There was a little bit of a problem with communicating back and forth between my energy supplier, Xcel, and Project Solar just because Xcel wasn't doing a good job. So, I finally wrote letters to the governor and asked for his intervention, and the system was approved out of Xcel the next day.

    The installation was good. Project Solar contracted through a local company here in Grand Junction and the company that installed mine is a solar company that works out of Parachute, Colorado, which is 20 miles away, and it worked out well. There was an issue because I couldn't see the system working online on my iPhone. It was just dead. But I knew I was generating electricity because I would read the meter and it would be less every day. So, they needed to replace some sort of a little circuit board that was part of the in-phase system. That didn't work out too well because there wasn’t a good system set up to compensate the installer to come back and replace that circuit board and then get paid to do that. We finally worked that out but it wasn't clean. Other than that, my system works great. I'm waiting for spring to get here so I can generate more.

    I paid $10 a month to Xcel as an administrative fee. Otherwise, my electric bill is always zero, then the administrative fee and the natural gas, which is making everybody broke these days. I'm gonna generate probably 1,500 to 2,000 excess kilowatts by March because March is the end of the year from the installation. So, I'm installing little electric appliances around the house to use up part of that excess. I installed an electric wall heater in one of our bathrooms so, when you go in there, you don't heat up the whole house to take a shower. You’re just going to turn on the electric heater, warm up the bathroom, go in and take a shower, and then turn the heater back off. The bathroom is way warmer. But I don't see it in my electric generation. So, I'm gonna put more in. I'm gonna keep adding things until I see that I'm gonna come out even for the year.

    Every time I talked to customer service, I got positive feedback or the help I received was good. We did a first design and that was a good one. Then I had a new roof put on my house which changed how we could configure the panels, so we had to do a redesign. That all went smoothly and people were cooperating and understood what I was trying to get done. The only thing that made me go from using a local company versus Project Solar was the price. It’s excellent. I got an equivalent or better system out of Project Solar for a third less the money. People ask me how I like Project Solar and I tell them they should use them. They’ll like it.

    I wanted to do something that I could do myself, and Project Solar was more affordable than the traditional solar panels. There was a little lack of communication during parts of it, but otherwise, it was smooth and breezy. I wish I had a little more solar panels put up though.

    It took a long time to finish the project, but it was the cheapest route so it was worth it in the end. I gave my address and filled out some basic information. I took a bunch of pictures and they sent me a picture of my roof with how many panels. Then they sent someone out.

    When I first started dealing with Project Solar, I lost track of time. I started dealing with them in March and they had just started out as a company. After they had put the plans in, it was seven months later and I thought it wasn't gonna happen. Finally, they called me back and told me they were ready. When the lady called and said, "Joe, this is your bill," the one thing I said to her made her laugh. I said, "I hope I'm not the guy on the 5 o'clock news trying to tell people how I sent $14,000 to someone in Utah and I've never heard from them again."

    Once I paid the fee, the shipment came in four days later. It was completely well-packed and very easy to put together. It took me two days to mount it to the roof, get it hooked up and call for the inspection. I'm very happy with going solar. We're in our third year. Three years ago, if you had $14,000 sitting in a bank, you could earn no money on it. Whereas if you had that same $14,000 sitting in a bank, you could get 5%, which is 700 bucks a year. It's a little bit harder sell at this time. But for my investment at that time, it's gonna work out well.

    The sign-up process at Project Solar was good. However, they had a third party doing the installation for them. That was the only thing that I was a little confused with. Everything else was good.

    Project Solar is a great program that allows you to choose how involved you want to be. We chose to do the install ourselves and Project Solar provided the plans, obtained the permit, and sent almost all the parts we needed. Install was a breeze and we passed inspection the first time. Thanks to Project Solar we have the system we need for a fraction of the cost of the other solar providers. We have recommended Project Solar to many friends.

    Quick and clear sales process. All questions and change requests were updated quite fast and precisely. Smooth installation, very professional and efficient customer support. Panels and inverters among the best in the market for a very competitive price. And after one year, my system has produced more energy than expected. I do recommend Project Solar!

    I had bounced around the idea of going solar for years. I wanted a diy friendly setup and it seemed everyone knew they couldn't charge me an arm and a leg if I did my own installation. When I found Project Solar they offered to have someone install my setup if I wanted but were there every step after I said I'd install myself. I am a member in a few solar diy pages on Facebook and share my experience with Project Solar and let people know some of the things they need to ask and be aware of. I live in Texas. The first electricity contract zeroed out every month and there were certain things I couldn't use my overproduction credits towards. They guaranteed I was paying a bill every month. The company I'm with now allows me to use my credits for every part of the bill and if there's a credit it is used towards the next month's bill. That's the one part about solar I wasn't prepared for, finding the best contract.
