Standard Energy Solutions

I contacted Standard Energy Solutions in February 2025 after our detached garage burned down and damaged our home as well. There was an array on the detached garage that was destroyed and one of the two of the arrays on the house needed to be removed and re-installed after the damaged roof was replaced. Unfortunately for me, the company that installed my solar system went out of business without so much as an email to notify me. We had an awful experience with that company anyways. I was left with an abandoned system and on my own to figure out how to recover. I contacted Chris Pulley at LegacyPower who put me in touch with Standard Energy Solutions. This company sent a representative - Luke Engelking to my home for a site survey. They provided a quote to remove the array on my house and re-install the array on my home after the roof was replaced and to completely replace the array on my detached garage along with associated wiring and conduits. They took responsibility for putting a very detailed plan together and submitted all required paperwork to Stafford County for the permit. They took care of all the details and kept in contact with me regarding approvals. Finally the permit was issued. Standard Energy Solutions came to my home and meticulously re-installed the array on my house and completely rebuilt the array on my detached garage in just 2 days. They tested my system and I have to say they did a remarkable job. They cleaned up after themselves and even re-worked some of the conduits put together by the previous company. Everything was installed perfectly and my new system now generates more power than it ever did when it was new (higher wattage panels installed on my detached garage). These guys were professional and did everything they said they would. The system still requires final inspection but per their contract, Standard Energy Solutions is required to be to be onsite to handle anything that comes up. I would highly recommend this company to either take over an abandoned system and install a new system. You won't be sorry.

I had my Solar System installed by Standard Energy Solutions approximately 9 months ago, and as a result of the installation I have a roof leak. I called to see if someone could come and check it out, but they have not sent out anyone yet, it's been a week. I called again and I'm still waiting to hear back from a service tech about my leaking roof. It seems to me once you spend your money on the system, they are done with you and don't care about problems that may arise. So be careful about doing business with this company. James K.

Steve and Bobby seemed very pleasant before we started the project, however, after the work was done and items in the contract were not executed upon, they became completely unresponsive to emails and calls. It has been 6 months of following up, to no avail. I would be very cautious about working with Standard Energy Solutions.

This summer I noticed on the Enphase site that one panel was not reporting. Standard Solar installed both our arrays. Enphase sent us a new inverter. I contacted SES (the successor owner) to have them replace the inverter. It took over a month to schedule a tech. When the tech came out and replaced the inverter, They made no mention of the wires chewed thru. They took a photo and left. I found out a week later when I asked their "customer service" about why the inverter was still not working. The tech had given the photo of the chewed wires to her. No mention to us and we were home when the tech replaced the inverter. No mention to us from SES until I contacted them. "Customer service" sent us a contract to install critter guard. I requested the wiring repair and declined the critter guard. "Customer service" replaied via email."OK, thank you for letting me know" 2 follow up emails to SES and ZERO reply to scheduling the repair. Over a month has pasted without any repair scheduled. My house is under contract for sale and the buyer is expecting the panel to work. SES is aware of this. Standard Solar was terrific about customer contact and service. SES is terrible. I will not recommend them to anyone.

Standard Energy Solutions sold us solar panels and told us they guarantee against leaking. I have extensive damage to my house from the damage. A representative came yesterday and stated they would take care of everything then someone from CA called today to so no they would not. They did not live up to their contractual obligations. Poor craftsmanship, poor customer service and a poor product. Nothing good to say.

I'd highly recommend. Of several PV companies I approached about replacing a microinverter, only Standard Energy Solutions responded in a manner I interpreted as wanting to help out - both in availability and the cost of the service. Communication with SES was positive, and they reached out to me when the tech needed to move the appointment up a day. Tech arrived first thing in the morning and had the microinverter replaced in short order. I will address any future issues with my PV array to this company as my original installer is no longer in business.
