What Project Solar customers say

Many customers find it easy to get started and appreciate the prices, which tend to be lower than what other solar companies offer. They were happy with the quality of the equipment, customer service and overall installation process.

However, some reviewers mention delays in installation, but this is often attributed to external factors like weather or permit processing. Unhappy customers have also complained about miscommunications or problems with the subcontracted installers.

Recent Project Solar reviews

• “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. … 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.” — Susan in Worcester, Massachusetts
• “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. … 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.” — Somya in Livermore, California
• “My experience with Project Solar has been a nightmare, involving over 160 emails and culminating in a pigeon infestation. … The nests caused roof damage and leaks during Arizona's monsoon season. After 50 emails, they finally sent someone to address the issue, but the repairs were minimal, and the flood damage inside my home remains unresolved. Moreover, the pigeons have breached the critter guard again. In summary, do not work with this company.” — Matt in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho
• “I found Project Solar while searching online for an American-made product that was affordable. The sales process was straightforward, with no need for a salesperson to guide me. I appreciated the easy sign-up process and was able to get my questions answered effectively when I called. … I'm very satisfied with their service and would definitely recommend them.” — John in Fort Wayne, Indiana
