We have had an excellent experience working with The Solar Guy. Of all the quotes we got, he had the best prices/financing options. He was very communicative throughout the whole process. Installation went well and occured well within estimated time frame. I would recommend that anyone who is looking into solar give him a call!

Amanda Bernstein on The Solar Guy

We called The Solar Guy after having multiple people knock on our door. He saved us THOUSANDS. Also the previous company we signed with charged us a few hundred dollars because "they already submitted for permits". Well, The Solar Guy reimbursed us for the cancellation fee of ANOTHER company on top of the thousands he already saved us. Cherry on top was The Solar Guy had better panels too.
