A&R Solar

This company was excellent when it came to answering my questions that I had. I could tell from each person that they very much loved their jobs and what they do. Utilizing EnergySage gave me two great things... information... and communication with local solar installers... I am very pleased with the service and will be recommending these guys for any of my friends who see my setup and decide to go solar themselves. My only regret is not first going sooner and second not being able to get the panels that are much more efficient but not made in this state... so in order to maximize my incentives I had to go with the older style panels... however the purchase cost still is way better with these and it will easily eliminate my electric bill if I keep up with my energy saving ways.

I have always been an advocate for renewable energy and in May 2015 had 28 solar panels installed by A&R Solar. The installers were very professional, personable and stayed on task. I am very much surprised with how well the panels are working as far as energy generation and am enjoying much lower electric bills. Some summer months my electric bill is less than $9.00. I had other solar companies come out and give quotes, discuss their systems and I would highly recommend A&R Solar for installation of a solar system.

5 stars across the board. It's been over a year since our installation and everything worked out even better than they implied. Other installers clearly over promised and one was very misleading regarding increase in home value. Everyone at A & R is highly professional. They were the low bidder, so one would worry about the risk - no worries with this firm. Even after the sale, they addressed my questions fully and promptly.

We signed a contract with them in June for a 25.2 kw system that was supposed to produce just under 31,000 kw first year for around $71,000 or 2.31 per kw. We brought up multiple times that their design did not fit the structure of the south side of our house, but we're assured that they would honor the price and production promised even if changes had to be made. Now after they've already been paid around 80% of the cost, they are claiming that they can't do that, with around $500 less worth of production per year for that price and $2.71-81 per kw prices instead of the promised $2.31. They seem to think that terminating the contract for misleading us falls under electing to cancel and thus would be able to keep a large amount of our money to do nothing. Update: In response to there response, they initially indicated that we'd owe them the profit part of the contract if we cancelled. They only offered a full refund AFTER we filed formal complaints with the BBB. Contract was for $71,286 for 30,860 first year production, yet they want to claim that its no change in cost to to go from this to 26,722 first year production if the system size is the same 25.2 kw.

I found my experience working the the folks at A&R Solar to be exceptional. It began with a visit from a very knowledgeable and patient design consultant, Turner Pittkin. He looked over our home very carefully, considered our needs, and prescribed a system that would actually Guarantee our solar output without generating 'too much' energy. (If the system is over-prescribed and produces more solar Kwh's than you need-- PSE doesn't pay you back. You lose it.) My installation was nearly flawless. Travis did the electrical work, including installing a new panel to handle my additional circuit needs, and connecting the solar panels to a wall of equipment installed in my garage. I had them include an electric car charger for my future Tesla too, and all of this was done quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Everyone worked so hard and so carefully, I could not have asked for a more competent and professional installation.

This company is great to work with from the initial inquiry, through installation, and after installation. The front office is courteous and very responsive. The team at the office even showed me their warehouse and equipment when I showed up to make a payment. Joel and his team did a great job at my home. 46 panels installed in 4 days through the rain and powerwalls and inverter neatly hung on my garage walls and a new service panel. System was succesfully tested on the 5th day. Now just waiting on PSE to install the Meyers so the system can stay online. My cost after federal credit is about $2.43 a watt.
