Sopris Solar

IN AUGUST 2022 MY HUSBAND SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH SOPRIS SOLAR AND ALSO GAVE THEM A CHECK FOR $8449.50 TO BUY OUR BATTERY. DURING 2023 SOPRIS SCHEDULED THE PROJECT TO BE DONE 3 TIMES, HOWEVER THE DATES WERE CANCELLED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE EACH TIME WAS SCHEDULED. WE HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY TO REACH SOMEONE AND HAVE LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES, BUT WE NEVER GOT ANY RESPONSE FROM ANYONE. IN NOV OF 2023 WE SENT AN EMAIL TO SCOT BERRELL TELLING HIM THAT WE HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE WITH HIS COMPANY AND WANTED OUR MONEY REFUNDED. AGAIN NO RESPONSE! FROM NOV 2023 TO CURRENT DATE WE HAVE REQUESTED A REFUND A COUPLE OF TIMES. NO RESPONSE! WE ASKED OUR ATTORNEY TO CONTACT THEM TO GET OUR REFUND. NO RESPONDS

So I signed my contract on 09/17/2018. Since that time I think I was forgotten. For some reason all of the good reviews are from Denver area homes, I am in the mountains and I don't think this company actually does installations in the mountains. I have had excuses like permits were not approved by the town, parts are on back order. But I have a neighbor that got his installation done in 4 weeks, start to finish. Doesn't seem like an issue with the town. Again, maybe they are great for the Denver installs, but in the Colorado mountains I would chose someone else. Update 12/21/2019... Still no installation, lots of excuses. Now going on 15 months.

This company was very good the whole way through until they royally screwed it up in the end. It turns out they installed my system before they even had a permit from the County to do the work. Now I've paid thousands of dollars for an entire solar system and I can't get anyone to come out to do an inspection because there was no permit. Because I can't get the system inspected I can't have it turned on and all I get is the run around from the company. Sopris Solar sucks. Don't use them.

This saga started over 4 years ago. I hired them to put panels on our mountain house. They abused our hospitality (spent the night in our house without permission) Lied repeatedly, and didn't have the system and running for almost 2 years after we paid. When we finally got it going I wanted to keep the final deposit as insurance to make sure the system worked, and they shut the system down, so I was basically blackmailed to pay. After less than a year we had panels falling off the roof. It took me forever to get them to come out and then they said they were not responsible because it was freak nature related (high wind) They finally took the broken panels off and piled them in my garage but charged me $4500 to replace them giving me a 3 year total inclusive guarantee. This took 3 months. * months later the4 new panels are collapsed. And they have now ghosted me. Never work with or give these people money. do not trust Allen (goes by solar Pro) or Nathan, or Scot Birrell

I signed the contract 27 months ago and they still have not finished up. Sopris subcontracted out the installation of the solar panels and has never came back to install the battery, which we already paid them for, or hooked the system to the grid. I have had solar panels for over a year and have gotten nothing from them. I have made numerous calls and texts and keep getting told you are next or you will be soon. This has gone on for over a year.

I have been a GC for nearly 30 years now. This is by far the worst contractor I have ever dealt with. They caused significant damage to the roof and gutters, they caused significant damage to the interior of the home, they did not install the system per the engineering drawings, they did not use the correct mounting system per the engineering drawings and because they exceeded the allowable cantilever of the mounts several of the panels broke. They have refused to correct the situation and do not communicate with me and the owner of the house. I warn you, I have dealt with a lot of bad contractors over the years. Sopris Solar is truly the worst I have ever encountered. DO NOT HIRE THEM TO INSTALL A PV ARRAY!! You will regret it.
