Ecology Solar - Profile & Reviews

I selected Ecology Solar for a number of reasons, but I have to admit a very very strong reason was Ben Garner. He was the best sales guy I have EVER worked with. Hands down.

First off he took the time to make my proposal here on EnergySage more special than any other companies. It really stood out that he cared about his work. The proposal itself was on the low end of the price spectrum but not the absolute lowest and as I worked with him directly the price came up a bit to custom tailor my system to what I wanted.

He was extremely patient as I repeatedly pushed the brakes and put it on hold until I was happy that I had the financial plan in place as well as the solar plan.

Once we kicked it off things moved very quickly. I was ecstatic when once they even attempted to pushed mine up to the front of the line when someone else cancelled. Of course that didn’t work out due to my HOA and we proceeded per the projected schedule.

The guys installing the system worked in the pouring rain and freezing cold on more than one occasion; very happy with their professionalism. Great team!

The electricians… Sadly here is where we get the issues. First guy apparently wired some stuff wrong, didn’t label anything, didn’t finish what he said he would etc. The second guy had to finish what the first started and fix a few things. He was great to talk with and was friendly. Had to make numerous trips to fix things and get it ready for the power company. However we ended things with my system not having a consumption meter and needing to know what my options were for that. I was supposed to get an answer several times at the end and finally was told that would come within a week of it being done. Sadly here we are approaching a month later with no further answers or communications from them. I ever reached out to the project planner via email and have been met with crickets. So… Wanted to get this review in, good and bad.

Would I use them again or recommend? Yes. Are they likely a busy and standard company that will drop the ball sometimes? Yes.

I had a quote with another company before signing up with Energy Sage. Ecology Solar gave a competitive quote, and Ben was very considerate and helpful with my specific questions. I opted for the original company since I had already established some rapport with them. Had I started the process with Energy Sage, I probably would've gone with Ecology Solar. (Since I did not go with them, I cannot speak to the rest of the process.)

After doing a significant amount of research for a quality solar company that I could use for my home home, I decided on Ecology Solar and could not be more happy with the experience. The team at Ecology Solar meet my expectations and Ben was always available to answer questions and dive into the technical details with me. I was looking to have an exclusively USA manufactured system and Ben worked with me to build the best system possible. The installation was done in a timely manner, the crew was professional, and the clean up was above and beyond.The panels look beautiful and I would recommend Ecology Solar to anyone interested in going solar. It was great to work with a local company that helped to build a domestically manufactured system for my home, not to mention they had the best value of the 10+ companies I researched.
