I was doing my own research on solar and found Sandbox Solar, though it took me a couple of years to make it work, I chose them. No pushy marketing or bashing the competition, just good information for the sale. When installation time came around the crews were professional, safe, thorough, and did a great job! Full marks for the sales and installation/electrical teams.

I had a pretty positive experience getting 13 panels (5.2kW) installed by Sandbox. The process from getting a quote, adjusting the layout based on pictures of my roof, and getting an honest opinion about the best value for me (not the most money for them) was smooth and much easier than I expected. Charles and his team installing the panels were professional and did quality work. I've had them for about 2 years with no issues yet; and they've endured some extreme winds that the siding panels on my house have not. I was estimated to produce about 2/3 of my power from solar, and with TOU rates from Xcel, have so far generated 100% of my cost (although this is likely to go down a bit now that the peak rate hours are 5-9pm instead of 3-7.) The only hiccup in the process was that there was a miscommunication between the on-site visit and the installation. The installers were not prepared for the height of my roof and did not have the appropriate ladders/lift. Because at the time it was more than a month to get on the schedule, I opted to have them carry the panels through the stairs inside to access the roof. Not a big deal, and the workers were careful and repaired the one ding in the drywall they did make.

The team that came out today from sandbox solar was so professional, they were very kind they answered all of my questions. When the job was done they cleaned up the work area. I was very impressed with their concern about answering all of my questions. They were able to do this portion of the install in one day. Big Thank You to Bailee, Liam, Eric, Clay, and Cal.
