Great company to work with

I have nothing but positive thoughts about Solar Side Up. We needed a new roof and an electric upgrade before installing the solar system. Solar Side Up handled everything! Everyone we worked with, Brian,Kirsten, Nick, and Julio were great to work with as were the roofers and electricians. There were no surprises, what they quoted after the site visit is what we paid, nothing additional added on. Work was completed on time, great communication was given. They always answered our questions, no matter how many we asked. Very professional team! System is now up and running and we couldn’t be happier ! I would highly recommend Solar Side Up!!!

A positive quote experience

Brian at Solar Side Up did a fantastic job working with us, explaining their proposal, answering questions quickly and clearly, and avoiding the pressure tactics of some other vendors we were talking with. While we ended up going with a different vendor, Solar Side Up looked like it would also be a solid choice, and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest anyone looking for a solar install consider them.

Great company!

I have no compaints, only praise. Solar Side Up was the most honest and straight-forward company I talked to for this project. They gave me the most competitive offer and they accommodated every request that I had. They responded immediately to all of my emails and went above and beyond my expectations. Their customer service was exemplary. My system is performing great, and I couldn't be happier with the whole process. Thanks, Solar Side Up!

No regrets

We recently hired SSU to install solar panels and a battery in our house in Denver. SSU came out on top after pretty extensive discussions with several other companies, and all has gone great so far. They've been very communicative and worked with us when Xcel threw some unexpected wrenches into the process. Haven't had to go back to SSU for help with any issues after we got solar up and running yet, so I can't speak to that. But of course, no issues so far is a good thing, and I would be very surprised if they ghosted us at that point. The whole team over there has really gone above and beyond to be responsive thus far.

Excellent solar power experience with Solar Side Up

With a recent purchase of an EV, rising utilities costs, and a large federal subsidy on the table, my wife and I decided to get solar power for our house. After some negative experiences with door-to-door solar salespeople, we did some research and found EnergySage, who promptly got us in contact with multiple local solar power companies. After talking with each, we found Solar Side Up to be the best cost per quality and our sales rep Brian to be truly exceptional. He was able to answer all of our questions about the panels themselves, the installation process, general details about solar companies, all without being pushy like many of the other reps we talked to. The installation took a little longer to get started due to weather, but once the crew got to our home it took less than a day for them to get everything installed and our system was cleared by our energy company just a few weeks later (this is the typical procedure). We are very grateful to EnergySage and Solar Side Up (especially Brian and Kirsten) for making the process of adding solar power to our home straightforward and efficient.
