Ecohouse Solar

contacted ecohouse after reading their reviews on Google. They were exactly as advertised. Mike Hopper did an exceptional job with the lay out for the solar panels as well as working with our HOA to get it approved for construction. The installation crew and office was professional, prompt, and were excellent with communication. The work they did was professional and outstanding. I highly recommend them if you are considering adding solar for your home power needs!

I agree with the other reviewers that Ecohouse Solar is outstanding! Goal: Produce enough energy to offset the full electrical consumption of our home and electric vehicle throughout the year while simultaneously providing us with daytime backup in the event of a grid failure. We purchased: 16.2KW system consisting of: Panels: 45 x Q.PEAK DUO BLK-G10+ 360 Microinverters: 45 x IQ8PLUS-72-2-US Enphase Sunlight Backup: 8 x Circuits The sales process with Ecohouse was smooth sailing. Mike Hopper was our Project Manager. I cannot say enough great things about him personally and the entire Ecohouse Solar team. They took care of all the permits and did a great job with the installation. The result: Our solar system worked perfectly from the day it was installed and the installation quality was top notch. We did experience one issue with the sunlight backup that was ultimately traced back to a defective board in the system controller which resulted in intermittent failure to control loads. Enphase sent out a field technician to troubleshoot the problem and replace the board under warranty. Problem solved. We live in Ohio and our solar system was activated in late October 2022 so our first full bill with net metering didn’t come out until late December. That’s definitely not the best time of year for solar production. Our electricity bill fell to 1/4 of its normal amount by our February billing cycle and we had a small surplus by our March billing cycle. I just read that our utility company AEP Ohio will be increasing rates by 30% this summer. I just smiled knowing that I made the right choice both to go Solar and in my choice of Ecohouse Solar. You should strongly consider them too!

Ecohouse and Mike Hopper were great to work with. There is a lot involved with the process and the whole team made it super easy. Also, top notch install, looks fantastic with the newer black panels.

Working with Ecohouse Solar and Mike Hopper was a great experience. Mike is very knowledgeable, clearly explained the system and helped us with the 30% tax credit that made this project financially possible. The work crew was very professional, efficient and friendly. The work was done promptly, and the clean-up was excellent. After we started the solar panel part of the project, we decided to add a Generac generator to the system. Mike worked really well with Mid-Ohio Generators to help with the hook up requirements. We strongly suggest that you think about a generator from the start. We are now not only producing our own electricity, but we are also covered in case of power outages. I recommend Ecohouse Solar enthusiastically and without any reservations. Sam S

I'll start out by saying that a five star review for our install doesn't even begin to cover how great our install process was. I was given Mike Hopper's number from a friend at work who highly recommend Ecohouse for us in early March 2022. I called Mike right away and he was able to drive 45 miles to my house that same afternoon to take a look at everything and go over our options. He looked at and took pictures of our roof, electric panel, meter, and generator. I told him we were looking for a system with 100% offset. He got back with a recommended system for us within a couple of days and we moved forward from there. He has been with us since the beginning to answer questions and make sure things were going well for us throughout this process. Our system was installed and up and running on May 24th 2022. The install process took two days. The crew that showed up to do the install was just absolutely phenomenal. They took their time measuring where everything would go and ended needing to move a couple of panels based on changes I had mentioned with wanting to keep a walkway up to our chimney. They were able to make the changes and the final install looks great. They took extra time to make sure all of the panels lined up perfectly and even had to go back to move three panels over on the bottom row to the right about 3/4 of an inch. The guy installing all of the boxes to tie into the existing grid did a beautiful job. He took his time to bend all of the conduit perfectly and it blends in with the house like it had been there all along. In the end everyone was super great to work with. Mike, Patrick, RJ, Lance, Dan, and Toby keep up the great work and thanks for the beautiful install!

Very impressed with work Ecohouse did for us. Solar panels work well with our backup generator and net metering (AEP). Panels installed on barn requiring upgrade of old breaker panel and reuse of existing underground to house. We chose Ecohouse because they were the only company who could make the existing system work without installing new underground and in adapting system to accommodate multiple out buildings and generator. Mike Hopper and the entire crew were professional and responsive, taking the time to explain the system (including the phone app), and making sure we were informed of the schedule and process. Total price is before tax incentives and included replacement of breaker panel. Our February electric bill was $0.22.
