Reviews
What customers say
Customers describe knowledgeable technicians and clear communication through planning, installation and follow-up. One homeowner says internet modem/router connectivity problems arose after installation, and Wayne and the team remained responsive and supportive long afterward. The same customer says the team designed and installed an array over a boat lift and adjacent seating area because large trees surrounded the lake house.
Customer Reviews
Justin Knoll
We have had a great experience with Pure Energy. From our initial meeting with Wayne through the turnkey operation and after. The team was able to get my system installed in two days, had a short few week wait for inspections and meter install by the utility. The system looks fantastic and has had zero issues, and no surprises. I love the enphase app to keep up with power generation.

Not sure how I've never reviewed this company as I've done a lot of work with Wayne and it's always been great. So many neighbors were interested in solar and were really close to getting scammed by other companies (trying to install panels on roof sections that got little to no sun). Wayne took care of them and installs systems with very few if any call backs. Can't say that about other companies I've worked with... Pure energy is the only legitimate solar option within 2 driving hours, possibly even further.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a solar site assessment include?
The team performs a load analysis and identifies the property's solar window, then discusses solar options, energy objectives and system costs.
Who handles permits and utility coordination during installation?
After a contract is signed, staff pull permits, obtain materials and coordinate with the utility, inspectors and code officials. For grid-interactive systems, customers are directed to obtain a grid interconnection agreement from their local utility.
Does Pure Energy use subcontractors?
No. The company says it does not hire subcontractors and that experienced engineers and technicians install its solar panels.
