Solar Side Up - Profile & Reviews

Michael is a consummate professional. He addressed all our questions. The system was put up in the time frame he stated. The installers were quick, courteous, and knowledgeable. They were available to explain the process as they went along. They were hampered by inclement weather but preserved and completed the installation ahead of schedule. We are very pleased with Solar Side Up and highly recommend them.

Michael DeRosia and his team are amazing. The installation of our system had some delays due to Xcel, but Michael told us upfront they were coming and even reached out to Xcel to check on things for us. The installation was smooth and we can even keep an eye on things through an app. Solar Side up is an honest company who puts the best interests of their clients first.

My wife and I are very pleased with the system Solar Side Up installed at our home this month. We have a 29 panel system with a capacity of about 9 kW, and each day this month we have produced between 40 and 53 kWh. We learned of Solar Side Up through EnergySage and chose the company because of their experience, customer support, and use of quality components. Michael and Geoff sized the system to meet our power needs and budget while educating us on our options for solar configurations and components. Geoff did a fantastic job designing the system to maximize solar exposure while also paying attention to its aesthetic appearance. We were concerned about how the panels would look, but we were pleasantly surprised at the results! More importantly, Geoff was very attentive to detail and took great pains to ensure that our system was installed properly. He discovered problems with our existing electrical meter and panel, and he did extensive work at a very competitive price to reconfigure our panel to meet code as well as the power requirements of the new solar system. Solar Side Up made the application and installation process easy, coordinating utility company and the city for required inspections and filing all required paperwork for our energy credits. We now enjoy sunny Colorado days even more, and we are confident knowing that Solar Side Up is monitoring our system to ensure it is continuing to work normally.

I work as a contract specialist by trade. I tend to do way too much research when making a purchase of a significant amount (really anything over 50 bucks). Solar was no different. I reached out to many vendors for quotes. It is hard to compare them as they supply different products and warranties.

I focused on warranties and production. I wanted good panels that would last and were backed by a good installation warranty. After gathering all the quotes and putting the relevant information into a spreadsheet (yep I am that guy) and speaking with reps from the vendors I got quotes from, I chose Solar Side Up.

Sure other vendors might offer "18 months no payments" but what they may not tell you is that you pay a higher interest rate for those 18 months "free". Also, warranties matter. Some vendors had 15 year warranties on panels and invertors and that just isn't good enough for a purchase of this size.

Solar Side Up offered the best warranties and had access to different brand and spec of panels and invertors. I am very pleased with the speed of the install and the performance of the system.

My system so far in June produced 1.3 MWH or 1300 KWH. That is huge, double my usage (your results will vary). My system has a bit more expensive panel that has some new tech and so it produces lots of energy. Solar Side Up helped me pick the right panel for the job and I am very happy with my system.

Give them a shot, even if they are not the rock bottom price (you get what you pay for), they are worth the money.

Easy to work with, straight-shooters, always professional. From sales to install, these folks were all friendly and easy to work with!

We had a phenomenal experience with Solar Side Up. We worked with Michael DeRosia and the entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient. Everything from the initial meeting and quick house review to getting detailed designs of the recommended panel setup. Once we were ready to move forward they got us scheduled and the team showed up on time for the install and everyone was friendly and professional. The install was completed on schedule and the Xcel Energy meter was completed the very next week! So we were able to turn on our solar very quickly and now we enjoy watching the daily detailed analysis of how much energy we are producing from clean solar energy. Everything was completed in January 2018. We had such an amazing experience with Michael and Jeff from Solar Side Up, I confidently recommend them to everyone!

Solar Side Up's proposal predicted an output of 5,705 kWh of production a year. - It produced 5,693 kWH. Pretty darn close, eh?
