Green City Solar LLC

I highly recommend Robert from Green City Solar for solar water heater needs! He did a great job installing my new solar water heater, was very professional, and very helpful overall. It looks even better than the first time It was installed by a different company and will always go to Robert from now on! I highly recommend and so appreciative of all the work he did. Thank you!!

Robert was so very helpful in my time of need my stress level has been crazy. My solar company filed for bankruptcy. I contacted them first week of July a work order was created, the installation company refused to come out. This is now September. I called his company he came out the next day and fixed my leaking from the solar panels that were improperly installed. Thank you sir I can sleep with ease tonight.

Robert, of Green City Solar, does awesome work on Solar Water Heaters. I recommend him and I will be using his service in the future. Here's why...

My original solar water heater was installed by SunTec, which closed over a year ago. They recommended a couple solar businesses in Fort Myers. I contacted Advance Solar in 2024 to service my Steca Solar Water Heater, which was completed with no problems. A year later, I contacted Advance Solar to replace my 80 gallon solar water tank and expansion tank. Three techs showed up to install the new 80 gal. tank. But, the techs resoldered my circulation pump & check valve incorrectly to the solar in and solar out lines; the soldering work was extremely poor (I have pictures). When I saw the techs switching the circ. pump & check valve, I asked why and I was told because the tank is different than the original, and it doesn't matter how the circulation pump sends water to the solar in or how the water returns from the solar out at the rooftop solar collector. Within a few weeks, my circ. pump had a electrical short, which caused it to fail and since it was plugged into the Steca control module, that too failed. I contacted Advance Solar and it took about 2 months of emails and phone calls only to be told they do not work on "Steca" solar systems and if I want them to repair my circulation pump & check valve I would need to switch my "Steca" system to the Gold Line system (which of course costs more). I was even told by a manager that he tried finding me a solar company that worked on Steca and he couldn't find any.

Robert of Green City Solar took me two phone calls to find, which some may say that the Advance Solar manager must not have tried too hard to find another solar business. Regardless, Robert of Green City Solar replaced my circulation pump & check valve (as installed by SunTec originally), which required swapping the dip tubes (something the Advance Solar techs should have done when they replaced my water tank a few months earlier). Robert of Green City Solar also replaced my Steca control module, and removed the poorly soldered pipes and soldered new pipe to make the job look very professional.

Green City Solar cost less than what Advance Solar tried to charge me to switch systems and the work was completed in a professional manner.

Included are three pictures:

1: Original installation (which has a silver expansion tank atop the 80 gal. water tank with a Taco circulation pump).

2: Advance Solar installation of new Lockinvar water tank and how they reversed the circulation pump, check valve, and the hot and cold cut-off valves are reversed from the original install (which is incorrect).

3: Green City Solar installation of new circulation pump (GoldLine), check valve, Steca control module (on wall), and other fittings (notice the professional work).

Please note the pictures may not be in order as my description.

It has been 11 months since my Solar Pool heating panels have been installed. The installation was excellent, Robert and his crew did a very neat professional job. The installation was flawless.
Since installation Robert has come out two times for warrantee work. The first time was not the system it was my pump being to small. I replaced my 1 hp pump with a 1.5 hp pump like Robert mentioned and the air bubbles in return went away just like he said they would. A few minutes ago Robert left after fixing a small leak in one of the valves. It was a very minor repair and when thinking about it, it was probably the increase in pressure from the larger pump that may have caused it. The repair was a matter of tightening the valve to stop the leak.
To sum up my review Green City Solar did an excellent job installing my system and stands behind what they do even after the check is cashed. Thank you Robert.
