    STAY AWAY FROM TOP TIER. I purchased consumption batteries back in March and was installed in May. They never worked from the start. They will NEVER return your calls. They were suppose to be here my September to finally fix them but cancelled the week before. I have been paying monthly for something that still doesn’t work and they are TOTATLY ignoring me. By the way these batteries cost a total of 24k.

    I will make this short. My personal experience has been that I was lied to by Top Tier. YES I got the battery storage system they promised and YES it was installed and is working properly but no I have not received the $2000.00 dollars top tier promised for financing through their connected service finance company. It has been months since we last communicated and promised at that time the check was in the mail. THEY HAVE NOT KEPT THEIR PROMISE.

      Worst customer service I ever encountered. Like the other reviews no call back to questions. No email response, battery storage installed but not wired up, no one has called to say if or when they will complete the installation. They came out Sept 3rd. Tech had to leave. Had an emergency ok could happen, here it is Sept 21. Nothing. So I guess I'll just wait to see what they want to do. If there were no stars that would have been my experience rating.

      DO NOT USE… The sales person came out and talked to us about batteries. We had been planning to get batteries so we went with Top Tier Solar Solutions. THE WORST DECISION WE COULD’VE MADE. The sales person said to us, "If you have any questions, call me directly." My husband called once and he answered. I take it he didn’t like the questions we asked so from that point he would not answer our calls. The project manager calls and says, "I will keep you informed on each step of the process." That was a lie, I never heard from him again, I emailed, he did not respond. I called customer service several times, never spoke to a person, always the automated service which put me on hold only to be told “the number was no longer in service.” Every person I tried to call number was no longer in service🤔If I could give a NEGATIVE 5 I would.

      DO NOT USE!!!, Especially if you are in Charleston, SC! They are just another typical service company in 2026. Come do a little bit of work, collect the money, and then never hear from them again! I had a system installed a little over a month ago, and it’s still not turned on and working. The permit got denied by the county because the contractor does not have a license on file. Therefore, it cannot get inspected, so Dominion can come out and actually activate the system. Getting ready to make my first payment on my system, and it hasn’t produced a lick of power since it got installed. Can’t get anyone on the phone, the people I do talk to can’t give me any kind of answers, customer service keeps telling me they’ll let the project manager know, but no one reaches out, I’ve exhausted nearly all options.

      I will more than likely have to find another electrical contractor to come out, pull the permit, just so I can get an inspection and activate the system. All that means is more money out of my pocket, on top of the huge amount of money I’ve already spent. Again, if you are in the Charleston area, avoid this company like the plague!

      I wish I would have read these before I purchased. Top Tier is horrendous to say the least. Once they get you to sign off on the item being installed, they abandon you completely left to pay the bill for something that does not even work. I am looking into legal action as I am writing this. Save yourself the headache and go with someone else.

      Top Tier solutions installed one battery at my home and charging me for two batteries. I didn't top realize it until the guy bfrom Dominion came out to hook it up and he asked where the other battery was. The one battery has been installed since March 26, and It is still not hooked up. My solar panels were installed by another company several years ago. They did a great job and were responsive., (Gold Path Solar). The agent at Top Tier says I will be reimbursement for the monies I've paid. No reimbursement has come yet.

      The batteries were financed through Service finance. I am thinking about stop making payments but don't want to hurt my credit score. I am in the process of filing a consumer affairs complaint. Not sure what good that will do because there of many complaints already filed. They say my second battery will be installed around the 2nd of Oct. We will see. This is a business I hate I became involved with and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

      Dealing with Top Tier Solar is worse than working with the cable company and a car dealership combined. Deceptive sales practices - salesman made promises that the company now claims aren't "services they offer," you have to beg for updates from project managers, customer service, and even execs. Their employees just leave the company mid-project and you hear nothing back. They installed my first set of panels at night with smartphone flashlights. They 'forgot' to install the transfer switch I paid over $1k for until I asked about it. It took them EIGHT MONTHS to get approval for my panel addition to operate. I am reporting this company to the North Carolina Consumer Protection Agency. Do NOT use this company. They are absolutely awful.

      Worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. They have great salesmen that will tell you they have good customer service, but it’s a lie. I’ve had multiple appointments made to have someone inspect my solar panels, but they’ve all been no call-no show. The representative that helped me set the appointments told me they can’t give me the number to the technicians that actually come out to serviced the panels, nor will she give me the contact of any manager. That makes no sense to me, y'all are the same company. After multiple times of setting me an appointment and no one showing up, the representative that was working with me just stopped responding to me. This has happened before.

      This company has several flaws. Highly recommend choosing another service. The panels themselves are from a third party company, so the panels are great, but Top Tier itself is very frustrating to work with. They’re just here to overprice the panels and get you under contract then you’re on your own.

      This company really disappointed us! Initially the salesman reassured us that the two battery system was what we needed, a $27k dollar battery system to make our solar System complete, and we agreed. They said that a project manager would contact us to set up all of the installation... And we never seen a project manager! We gave them $10,000 deposit and they agreed to install everything in a timely manner. We still never seen a project manager! Then the workers showed up to do the install.

      While we were out of the country they showed up and required $10k payment before they would start the work and we paid them. Or solar panels were already down a couple of weeks due to the replacement of our roof. They did install the batteries, however they couldn't program it until it was inspected. A month later the work still hasn't been completed causing us to pay normal electric bills. Or electric bill went from $135 to $600. I've tried contacting them but we're just getting the runaround! I've called, emailed and sent text messages with no results! Very dissatisfied customer!!!!

      Our experience with Top Tier Solar Solutions has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. We agreed to purchase a solar battery system after discussing the financing with Top Tier. The financing offered through Service Finance was approximately $400 per month, and we made it very clear that we could not afford that payment and would not move forward under those terms. We were then told by Top Tier representatives that if we accepted the financing approval, Top Tier would refinance the loan in-house afterward and reduce the monthly payment to a more affordable amount. We relied on that representation when we agreed to move forward with the approximately $22,000 financing.

      After the battery was installed, we experienced additional problems. The battery was not operating properly, and we had to repeatedly contact the company trying to get the equipment issues addressed. Meanwhile, the financing was never changed as it had been represented to us. We eventually began filing complaints because we felt we were getting nowhere trying to resolve the situation directly. After those complaints were filed, we spoke with Top Tier's legal team on July 27 and believed we had finally reached a resolution. We were told that Top Tier would pay approximately $11,000 toward the roughly $22,000 Service Finance balance.

      We took that representation seriously. Believing the company was finally resolving the matter, we closed the complaints that we were able to close and removed a previous BBB review. Unfortunately, we never received the expected follow-up documentation, the promised payment has not appeared on the Service Finance account, and we have repeatedly attempted to obtain an update. We are now having to pursue complaints again because the resolution we believed had been reached has not been completed. That has been one of the most upsetting parts of this entire experience. We gave Top Tier another opportunity to resolve our concerns and acted in good faith based on what we were told. We should not have to continually file complaints just to get communication or follow-through.

      Based on our experience, we strongly encourage consumers considering Top Tier Solar Solutions to get EVERY representation involving financing, refinancing, monthly payments, discounts, credits, or resolutions in writing. We would also strongly recommend that consumers with an active complaint not withdraw or close it based solely on a verbal promise. Wait until the promised resolution has actually been completed and can be independently verified. We wanted a fair resolution and gave Top Tier multiple opportunities to make things right. Instead, we are still dealing with the financing and are once again having to pursue complaints. As of the date of this review, the promised financial resolution has not been completed.

      Sent me a cold text that started with saying "Thank you for opting in to receiving SMS messages from us" something that I never did. Followed up with "our technicians are performing system audits to ensure your inverter is operating at full capacity. Nothing major, we just want to verify that your system is functioning properly." This was all just an excuse for them to send a sales rep out to try and upsell me batteries for my solar system.

      The salesperson who came to our home was very personable and respectful. He answered our questions and provided a lot of information for us. However, when we told him we weren't ready to sign on the spot, he continued to prod. I made it clear that we didn't need to hear anymore at that time but we need to discuss it amongst ourselves. He decided to call the VP to see if there were any other deals. The VP was on speaker phone and the same information was relayed to him and he continued to try and push us and prod for more information. At that point I said the conversation was over and asked the salesperson to leave. We then heard the VP say "that's fine, I wouldn't want to work with these people anyway". My husband let him know we could still hear him to which he replied "Yeah I know, that's why I said it like that". Not a problem, we will NEVER work with them!

      BEWARE of Top Tier Solar Solutions – Stay Away! Since the 30% Federal Tax Credit went away at the end of ‘25, Top Tier has been scamming customers left and right. It starts with a text out of nowhere stating “This is (reps name) reaching out about your solar panels. We work directly with SolarEdge and Enphase. Our technicians are performing system audits to ensure your inverter is still operating at full capacity. Nothing major, we just want to verify your system isn’t losing power. We will be in your area today and tomorrow (dates and times). The appointment is free and it should take only 45 min. What time works for you?”. (Does this not sound like an obvious scam?).

      After getting about 5 or 6 of these texts, I finally took them up on the offer to hear them try and scam me. The following day, the representative showed up, took photos of my meter, Enphase Combiner box, and the solar panels (there was no audit and I knew there would not be). The rep then came into my home and said that NC Duke Energy did away with 1:1 Net Metering at the end of 2025 and I was now enrolled in the new program that she called, “Net Billing” (Incorrect – Changes to the NC Duke 1:1 Net Metering program do not take place unto Jan. 1, 2027 for NC customer installed prior to 10/1/2023 and it actually called “Bridge Net Metering”).

      She then tried to sell me an overpriced battery ($25,900) for the next hour; she told me the battery would supply my home with ALL the energy I needed at night due to the new Duke Energy “Net Billing” program. She said with this battery, I will never pay NC Duke Energy another dime because of the battery! I asked if it would handle heavier loads like my AC, heat, etc., she said yes it will give you 10,000 kw’s of back-up power and you do not need to worry about running out of power (yet another lie and not to mention impossible unless you buy 1,000 batteries – but rather, the truth is that it will only supply me with 10.08 kwh – Enphase Encharge 10 Battery).

      I asked about the specific specs of the battery and she said, “I am not an engineer” (you do not need to be an engineer to know basic specs). I asked about the warranties, and she said that they match the one that I had from my previous installer – She said since my system is 3 years old, I would have a remaining warranty of 20 years all-encompassing solar, labor, parts, service, and battery – HUGE red flag). I then asked to get a quote, and she said we will get you prequalified and I said no, I pay cash and you do not need to do a prequal / application for cash.

      I then had to sign to get a copy of the quote / proposal (HUGE red flag) but went ahead and did so as I knew what was about to happen. Get ready for it… I then not only got the quote, but I also received a contract / agreement as well (they applied my signature meant for the proposal to the agreement / contract – ILLEGAL!). I was not worried though as I sent in the cancelation the next day (I was already prepared for this to happen). Then she said I would be contacted Monday or Tuesday for a welcome call and said to have a copy of my NC Duke Energy Bill, Homeowners Declaration page, and copy of my Homeowners Insurance. I explained that I would not have an answer until the following Friday, but she said that was fine as they like to get ahead of everything.

      My one and only overall goal for Top Tier to visit my home and I planned to keep up the charades as long as I possibly could to keep her from taking advantage of another customer who possibly didn’t know it was a scam. The reason I know about how the “system audit” visit would go, the NC Duke Program actual start date, battery specs, etc. is because I work in the Solar Industry! I know, live, and breathe solar, batteries, warranties, and the NC Duke Energy programs each and every day. This lady should not be selling solar, batteries, or warranties as she absolutely knows nothing about whatsoever.

      Again, stay the hell away from This company! I have filed complaints with the following companies, and I encourage everyone that has been contacted by these scammers to follow suit: BBB, NC Attorney General, FCC, Consumer Affairs, and many others. I have fielded many calls from customer associated with the company I work for as well as many others that I have worked with in the past… I simply tell them to hit “STOP” on the texts and file complaints about Top Tier.

      When Top Tier comes out to do the fake “system audit” and they see that you already have a battery, they walk away when you are not paying attention or around as they know they will not make a sale. It is obvious that the owner of the company does not care what game they are scamming people out of as long as he hits his goals. I am disgusted that this company is still in business and giving the industry a bad name.

      This company has been a nightmare for us; I would give them -5 stars if I could. They mislead us multiple times right from the start. We had to get lawyers involved when their insulation people did REALLY shoddy work in the attic; we couldn't get the company to respond to any of our calls. Insulation is part of their roof package. Had to throw someone from Top Tier out only just this morning as they claimed they wanted to do an audit on our setup, you know, the one THEY set up. It was a cover and ultimately to try and sell us a battery to the tune of $192.00 a month for the next twenty years. We suspected they would try something like this. They would not take a firm "NO", they just kept pressuring aggressively, got a little rude and began claiming that "It'll look really bad on us as a solar company if you don't buy this battery because you're still paying a little to the power company; it just makes us look really bad".

      My son had to tell them at least ten times he wasn't going to be making any decision today, their consultant actually looked shocked at being told "No", like it was a brand-new word to her. They ultimately double-teamed up on us with a call to 'her boss', and my son---the actual homeowner, and my husband, had to show their consultant firmly out the door after ending the call with the 'boss' ---who was insanely pushy and rude. My son thought it was a deliberate tactic to send the pretty woman out to the house to 'soften' him up before getting the bossman on the phone. I wonder how many other customers they've pretty much bullied into buying their battery. The actual solar panels? They work I guess, but you pay a pretty penny for every single one. There is only some degree of protection from power companies raising their rates. If you do solar, I wouldn't advise Top Tier.

      I would have to say make sure you read your contract. The way it was sold to me was that the panels would be powering my home then the excess produced energy would be sent to the power company. In actuality, all of your energy generated is sent to your power company then back to your home. Which sounds like it’s the same, but it’s not. Power companies switched from net metering in my state, which was a 1-for-1 transaction. Now they buy your kW at wholesale price and sell it back to you when you need it at an upcharge. I know what you’re thinking, that sounds like the power companies fault. In part yes, but Top Tier was aware this law was passed and never mentioned it one time as being a possibility. Not only that but they lead me to believe I would be storing my own energy as if I would have a battery. Now to remedy this they offered to install a battery for an additional $20k. Very, very expensive mistake going solar with this company.

I complained to my state Attorney General and Top Tier told me to drop complaint and they would upgrade me at no charge. I did that and to this day no upgrades.
