Surefire Solar Solutions Reviews

Surefire Solar Solutions is a solar panel provider based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving the surrounding area with comprehensive solar energy services. The company handles property assessment, system design, installation and maintenance. Surefire also sells and installs EV chargers and solar batteries.

If you already have solar panels and need repairs, Surefire can troubleshoot, fix and optimize your preexisting system as needed. If you’re preparing for a new roof, Surefire can coordinate with your roofer to remove and reinstall your solar panels during the roof replacement.

Surefire Solar Solutions doesn’t manufacture its own solar panels, batteries or inverters, but it offers equipment from several solar brands.

Here are the types of equipment that Surefire offers:

Generally, the Surefire Solar Solutions process, from initial call to completed installation, takes about three months. Surefire coordinates the solar installation process but doesn’t handle it directly. Rather, Surefire works with a network of solar panel installation companies within its service area, coordinating the installation for you. Surefire also appoints an engineer or sends out an employee to handle the initial property analysis and project planning.

If you need panels removed for a roof replacement, Surefire can coordinate the removal and reinstallation process with your roofing company. A Surefire engineer may help with the initial analysis, and the company will coordinate with an installation company to remove, reinstall and check the system.

Surefire Solar Solutions’ core services include solar panel installation, battery installation and EV charging setup. However, if you have a preexisting solar setup, Surefire also offers solar panel monitoring, troubleshooting and repair, plus services to disassemble and reassemble your solar panel system if needed.

Here’s a more detailed look at the services Surefire offers:

• Solar panel installation: Surefire examines your property and helps you choose the type, number and placement of your panels. It offers roof and ground installations and coordinates installation through a network of third-party installation companies.
• Battery storage installation: Surefire installs solar batteries that store excess solar energy for use at night or during power outages.
• EV charger installation: Surefire installs Level 2 electric vehicle chargers that can pull energy from your solar panel system.
• Solar panel maintenance and repair: Surefire can evaluate, monitor, troubleshoot and repair preexisting solar energy systems.
• Solar panel disassembly and reassembly: If you’re getting a new roof, Surefire can coordinate with your roofing company to remove, reinstall and check your existing solar panel system. This work preserves as much of the previous panel’s materials as possible, with minor racking components usually the only part requiring replacement.
• Tesla Powerwall installation: As a licensed Tesla installer, Surefire can install Tesla’s Powerwall battery storage systems.

The cost of a Surefire Solar Solutions energy system can vary significantly, ranging from $18,000 up to $140,000 for larger, more commercial properties. Although Surefire doesn’t list pricing on its website, we called and learned that Surefire solar typically falls around $50,000 for the whole process, including installation and materials.

Surefire Solar Solutions customers can choose from several financing options: they can pay the entire cost upfront, take out a solar loan through Surefire, or choose their own financing option, such as a bank loan. Surefire offers dedicated solar loans through a third-party bank, with an average length of 20 years.

What solar incentives and tax credits are available?

Indiana offers a sales tax exemption for solar households, meaning that you pay $0 in sales tax on the cost of your solar installation with Surefire. Additionally, if your solar installation increases the value of your home, you are protected from any associated property tax increase.

While Surefire agents aren’t tax professionals and can’t provide direct tax advice, they can connect with you with publicly available resources to help you optimize tax credits associated with your solar installation.

Surefire Solar Solutions energy systems have a 10-year workmanship warranty, which is provided through the installation company that sets up your system. This covers the installer’s work, not necessarily the panels, batteries or inverters, which may have separate manufacturer warranties. Some solar companies advertise longer workmanship warranties, including 25-year coverage.
