How to choose a solar company
- Get at least three quotes and compare the price per watt with our solar quote checker.
- Ask who owns the system (you, or the company under a lease or PPA) and what happens if the installer closes.
- Read the workmanship warranty, not just the panel warranty – it is the installer’s promise about their own work.
- Check the installer’s license with your state and read recent owner reviews.
Frequently asked questions
How are ratings calculated?
Each rating is the average of approved owner reviews on this site. We check every review before it appears, publish positive and negative reviews alike, and never accept payment to change ratings.
Can a solar company remove a negative review?
No. Companies can reply publicly. We remove a review only if it breaks our guidelines – for example, if it is not a genuine customer experience or contains personal information.
What should I do if my solar company went out of business?
Save your documents, keep paying your lease or loan, check equipment warranties and hire a licensed local company for repairs. Our solar orphans guide covers each closed company.
