Charlene Fitzgerald on Gladius Solar

Last year I had the opportunity to learn that making solar energy could lower the cost of my electric bill greatly. I met Sam Townsend with Gladius Solar. My husband and I had a video meeting with Sam. Both my husband and I had lots of questions. Sam answered every one. The more I learned the more I wanted to be involved in this project.

We gave Sam the go ahead and he took it from there. He and his crew did all the leg work and installation. I was the one asking all the questions. I couldn't wait to see the end result. It was way more than I expected, I learned a lot during the project. Thanks to Sam and his crew.

The final results was amazing! Sam added an app to my phone where I could see daily the result of the sun and solar panels working to save us money. My electric bill dropped to $10.00 a month! Needless to say I was totally sold on the project and Gladius Solar.

About 9 months later I had to sell our house. All I heard was you will never be able to sell because of the solar panels!

Well my house was on the market for 5 (FIVE) days and it was sold. One factor that stood out was the buyers were very eager to see the solar working for them.

With Sam working with the realtor and me the process was smooth and closing was on time.

I want to thank Sam and Gladius Solar for a job well done. I put my trust in him when he said we will have everything ready for closing. Just like Sam said......We Closed on time.

Sam with Gladius a solar is THE BEST! Sam is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and kind. He made sure to answer every question and when I didn’t understand something he explained in a way to make sure I understood before deciding. He was honest and never pushy even when I asked for time to think before making my decision. He made sure that solar was a good fit and great investment for me first. He explained the process with every step from start to finish and everything happened just as he said. The installation was easy and professional. The installers worked efficiently, kept me informed and cleaned up after themselves. Sam made sure to check in throughout the whole process and still even a year later to make sure things were going well and I didn’t have any questions. I am very pleased with my decision to go solar and definitely glad to work with Sam and Gladius Solar. I absolutely recommend Sam with Gladius Solar! You should give Gladius Solar a call!

This can be a scary thing going solar. You never know what to believe if they are just trying to make the sale. Samuel was so helpful and honest about everything. He was easy to communicate with. Everything went smoothly and i can honestly say this was one of the best decisions i made for my home. Thank you

Sam provided detailed information that better enabled me to make the decision to go with solar. We have had solar for many months now and the operation and service so far has gone as expected. I'd recommend Sam and his company for your solar needs.
