Solar Specialist - Profile & Reviews

I heard about Solar Specialist through an acquaintance and requested a quote for a for a solar system on a whim. The company owner (Chris) responded promptly to my request and offered and extremely competitive quote for a Canadian Solar PV array and SolarEdge inverters.

I ended up contracting Solar Specialists to install a 10kW system on my house and couldn't be happier. I had a few unique requests (battery backup capability, network monitoring, etc) and Chris was able to make them happen. He also offered help with filing and filling out the TECO paperwork needed to activate net metering.

I've had the system installed for about half a year and have made money back from the electric company each month. We financed our system through a home equity loan it looks like our R.O.I. is roughly 7 years.

I found Chris to be down-to-earth and easy to work with. I'm an engineer by trade and played dumb when requesting quotes from other contractors. Most tried to B.S. me with overpriced irreputable systems, but Chris was the only contractor who offered me the exact setup I wanted and didn't try to up-sell me. I've recommended him to both family and friends and recommend you at least request a quote as well.

This was the second system to be installed at my home by Solar Specialists. As in the first installation, everything went smoothly and there were no issues. The system came right up producing power and I have had not problems of any kind. Highly recommended.

I have used solar specialist for 3 different installs in the past 9 years and have been satisfied each and every time with the work, the cost, and the customer service before, during and after each job. They first installed my pool solar heater in 2008 that still works perfectly today. I have had them come out 2 times over the 9 years to fix small issues and they have resolved the issue promptly. They also installed a PV system with solar hot water heater for me in 2012 and expanded it for me in 2014. I had an inverter go bad on me in 2016, that they completely replaced it under warranty within just a few days.
Chris was knowledgeable about the install as well as the rebate programs and really helped me maximize my savings.
I trust Chris and would highly recommend his company. They do a great job for a fair price. I wish there were more companies out there like this.
