The Barnes Solar crew did an excellent job of describing the solar panel installation process. In addition to being patient and good at communicating. Michael was very direct and professional. He patiently addressed all of our questions and went through all of the different programs available in our area. He walked us through the approval process and everything that came with it when we found the best fit for us.It was a great experience, and we can't wait to put our panels up and "go green."Thank you!! I would highly recommend them to someone in the near future. ??????
Barnes Solar recently removed and re-installed the solar system on our home to facilitate a re-roofing project.Communication was excellent. The crews were prompt, polite, masked, and neat. They coordinated well with our roof contractor.There were a couple of issues with our system and they promptly resolved them.We used Barnes in lieu of our original installer as the original company chose to leave this geographic market. Barnes Solar has gone out of their way to have us a customer.I've been in the construction business for over 40 years and Barnes Solar is a company I would be proud to have on my contractor list were in this part of the industry.
I waited to write this review because I wanted to have enough time with the system to write a fair review. We have now been installed about 9 months and we are extremely happy with our choice to go with Barnes Solar. They were professional, responsive and fair. Initially, we were leaning toward another vendor, but after talking to neighbors we researched Barnes and decided to go with them. It was a great decision. Throughout the process, our project manager worked hand-in-hand with us. Even several months after installation, when I contacted him for copies of paperwork, he immediately replied and provided the materials. I would highly recommend Barnes Solar.
My company PCS Energy has contracted over 50 commercial solar installations with Barnes Solar. Having worked with several solar installers in the past I can say with out a doubt, Barns solar is the best installer I have seen in the industry. The owner Ricky Barnes is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to customer satisfaction. His crews are organized, clean and respectful. We continue to work with Barnes Solar due to their integrity and overall great work ethic. I have attached a few photos of projects Barns Solar has done for our company.
Barnes Solar did a great job with my solar installation. From start to finish their team was very professional. I requested bids from 6 different solar companies. Two didn't show up and Barnes came back with the best price and I felt they had the best experience. Pete came out first and we discussed my needs. He gave me some great ideas for my installation. They completed the project quick and it looks great. Even after the installation and my panels were up and running I called Pete with a problem. He responded right away and sent out his electrician. Come to find out it was a problem on my existing electrical wiring. His electrician helped me isolate the problem so it was easy for me to correct. I know if I ever need help or have questions regarding my Solar System, Barnes Solar will be there for me. Thank you Pete and to all the Barnes Solar Team.
