Lone Wolf Battery and solar - Profile & Reviews

I wish that I would have read these reviews before going with this band of thieves. I signed my contract on Oct. 27, 2018, The contract included a 9000 watt system with a 9.8 kw battery backup and a monitoring system by Solaredge. Panels were installed on Feb. 2019. The cost was $30,000. I got the interconnect myself from my utility to save time, that is their responsibility..
I am still waiting for my battery backup and monitoring capability. Went to their website today, 5/1/2019, to find out that Lone Wolf is out of business and starting a new company. I think that this is his MO. This is the second time for him. Take peoples money, screw them and start another company. The owner, Chris, has been convicted of defrauding customers in the past and I guess he wants to go back to jail.

Signed contract beginning of June, 2018 and paid a substantial down payment. Called the company on a regular basis to get an update on the status of the permit through Manatee County. Was told that Manatee County is "slow in completing the permits". I would call the Manatee County Building Dept and was told that Lone Wolf had not completed the paperwork for the engineers to issue the permit. Lone Wolf said, "No, it's the County that is stalling". After 4 months I went down to the County office and they showed me the deficient paperwork, but they said they would call Lone Wolf to "help them" get the paperwork completed. I had the permit three days later at end of Oct. Lone Wold then scheduled a appointment to start installation. A crew showed up, did some preliminary measuring on the roof, then left. I then received a call from Chris (the owner) stating that there were some problems with getting all the supplies needed for the job and he knew I would not pay the balance until the job was completed so he wanted to postpone the installation because he "would have to pay the workers that were on the jobsite..." which seemed strange to me because I was assured that the workers were employees and not sub-contractors so they would get paid anyway if they were, indeed, employees! So, obviously, they were sub-contractors!!!! I pondered out loud about getting really bad vibes and maybe we should cancel the contract. The next words out of Chris's mouth were, "okay, I'll send a refund", and hung up. I called back, because we really wanted the system and the phone went to message. Never received the refund of the deposit and we finally filed suit against Lone Wolf for Breach of Contract. Court date will be early March, 2019. Most disreputable people to deal with...if you value ethics, seek another company to do business with.

I was just recently employed with this place and was laid off due to the owner not wanting to pay workers comp. I went into work everyday giving 110 %. Started with no experience and learned very quickly. Was even out doing the people who trained me. The owner is a liar and thief. Was arrested a few years back for scamming a lady on home repairs. Charged her 15000 and giving 12000 up front. Needless to say he never came back. As for what he is doing now is selling batteries and not installing them

Agreed to a contract with this company. They took my money and ran. It's been over 4 months and get empty promises and lies. Now they want me to sign a new contract. Now I am suiting them. I'll let you know. Run away from this company, Lies, Lies and more lies. The owner of this company has allegedly pleaded guilty to Contract Fraud. Grand Larceny, Fraud and on probation for such. Run away from this money thief.

EDIT: Received a refund on 3/29/19. For anyone else left stranded by this company, Bob Heinmiller Solar was able to install the PV system in a week, was professional, responsive, and price competitive.
----------
Contract for solar PV was signed Sept 6, 2018. Lone Wolf didn't submit the permit application until 10/31/18 while telling me that the permit review was delaying the installation process. The permit approval was promptly received 11/2/18 (I had to contact them repeatedly about this) and Lone Wolf still can provide no updates on anticipated installation date. Poorly managed, cannot recommend. Hopefully others will not have this experience. It seems the company has grown too quickly to meet customer demand, they over promise in the sales pitch and under deliver with service/installation. I will update if this is resolved.

I have repeatedly called you guys over the last year-and-a-half to come look at my system to complete the installation because it is not producing what it should I continue to pay an FPL bill on top of my Mosaic bill for this solar system I am now seeking legal advice also I don't appreciate you hanging up the phone on me and never calling me back terrible service buyer beware
