My experience with Dean from NxtPhase Solar Energy was fantastic. I had contacted 5 other solar companies/ solar panels electricians and Dean/ NxtPhase Solar Energy was the only one to come through for us. We had an issue with the inverter on our solar system and Dean came to our house and diagnosed the problem and contacted the manufacturer of our inverter and got the process started of getting a replacement inverter and found out ours was still under warranty. Dean kept me updated on the progress of the manufacturer’s progress and when we could expect the replacement inverter. Dean then contacted me and we agreed on a day to have him install the inverter. He installed it and showed me the display and explained the numbers and what they meant.Dean was professional and explained the whole process from his first visit to when the solar panel system issue was resolved.I highly recommend NxtPhase Solar Energy for anything solar panels related.
I highly recommend NxtPhase Solar Energy!!!Now the details...Dean and the folks from NxtPhase Solar Energy are great to work with. My roof based solar panel system had been installed in late 2008 by a third party that is now out of business. I noticed that the output of my system dropped significantly and reached out to NxtPhase Solar for assistance. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to identify and resolve the issue! They did it with safety, cleanliness and cost effectiveness; resolving the current issue (wildlife activity under the panels had damaged wiring and panels) and preventing future access with side guards around the panels. Thank you Dean and crew!
Dean is a one man band. NxtPhase proposal was competitive, and toward the lower end pricewise among several solar companies I contacted. And they could deliver the system I wanted (ground mounted with battery backup) in the current year, while others couldn't. My roof faces east/west, and would have required some tree removal. I have a good, clear spot in the yard facing south without obstruction. And I live in a very rural part of the northeast, and needed backup power for power outages (e.g., winter storms). Dean got it all done at a time (summer/fall 2022) when there were still effects from the pandemic.Dean has been available to answer my questions before signing a contract, during the time before and during installation, and even months after installation. It has been a very positive experience. Another solar company that I had an initial agreement with, fell through as their proposal fell apart (a possible bait and switch). And others couldn't deliver, or were priced too high. I've been happy with the entire process, from contract, through installation, and post installation. I can recommend Dean and NxtPhase Solar.
We would highly recommend NxtPhase Solar Energy as a home solar panel company. Dean patiently explained the process, which has quite a few hoops to jump through and he was the one who jumped through those hoops for us. He really took care of the process from start to finish and installation went smoothly. We are happily enjoying creating clean energy for the grid and not paying for our electric supply any longer. And the price was right. We did some comparison shopping and Dean had the best pricing. Overall great experience and outcome!
We just recently had our one-year anniversary since Dean w/ NxtPhase Solar installed our roof mount solar array. It has performed exactly as he said it would and we are able to monitor the systems output daily. The installation process was quick and easy. The whole purchasing process from signed contract to installation only took about one month. Dean even came out and reconnected our system to the internet when we purchased a new router free of charge. Certainly an honest and trustworthy company.
