Reviews consistently mention clear communication, thorough explanations, and step-by-step guidance throughout the solar process. Many highlight responsive answers to questions and effective coordination with installers, lenders, and the utility. Customers also note that issues were addressed promptly and that projects stayed on track.

From start to finish of our solar project Mike was always available to provide honest answers and advice - and - to act as a valuable liason with the installer. Mike kept his eye on the project the whole way. He is also a great guy. We are very happy with our decision to go solar.

The entire process from my first contact with Mike was great! He took the time to thoroughly explain things & while working with Unique Salgado made the entire process seamless. From start to finish Mike & Unique handled everything. The installation crew were wonderful & National Grid for their part worked perfectly too. I highly recommend Mike & PlugPV. ??

Mike and his team were absolutely fantastic. They explained the entire process every step of the way, and answered all questions very quickly. When a slight issue arose, Mike stepped in and personally ensured the deal we had agreed to was honored, and went above and beyond by dealing with the lender directly! I highly recommend him!

Annette Mackay on Mike the Solar Guy

Mike is awesome! Going solar is complex. There are structural and regulatory processes that occur simultaneously. Project management is crucial, and Mike excelled at everything. From explaining the technology to working with other contractors in a major renovation Mike coordinated everything. Plus, he is pleasant to work with and demonstrated concern for his client. I enjoyed working with Mike and would do so again. You are in good hands with Mike the Solar Guy!
