United Solar Co.

Initially started out as a 5-Star company. We needed a complete solar install incl. battery and a full roof replacement. After going through five other solar companies, Mark Landgrebe was polite, professional, and direct with answers incl. technical questions. Honesty and pricing seemed to beat all other companies. Nick with financing is a bit bumbly, but you can work around him if necessary. The roofing crew was professional, fast and did a superb job in 2 days even in rough weather. Our only issue was the "cleanup" left around the house (I had requested a magnet sweep to protect my children and chickens, but keep finding old roofing nails, tacks + staples by the handful!) The solar installation crew was at first phenomenal! Aki and his crew are knowledgeable, efficient, and expertly skilled. All work was completed cleanly in a professional manner and passed inspections without any issues! THEN came the "after" part... 1) After speaking repeatedly with the equipment manufacturers, an apparent equipment installation issue is causing the info that I receive in my monitoring App to give incorrect readings. While this may seem trivial, it also calculates everything from how much energy we generate each day, how much we use from the "grid" and the amt of money the utility company owes ME (Net Metering) to the return on my investment, battery charge, etc. Upon notifying United Solar of the issue, I was told by Aki that they would set up a service call, but that it would be "QUITE SOME TIME" before they can come out to me (they had no issue getting to me when they were getting paid $80,000.+) Still unresolved... 2) One essential part of the project which I had insisted on from the very first conversation was to install a simple 50A receptable/port on my house to plug in my portable generator when needed. The Sol-Ark inverter is a superb piece of equipment and has a "GENerator" input built in - no need for transfer switches, sub-panels or anything complicated. Just a straight run of wire from the 50A receptable to the inverter. Mark consistently said "don't worry - we'll take care of it" (which I even have screenshots and other documentation of.) MY MISTAKE (in retrospect) is never getting it written into the contract. I trusted Mark and took a "Gentlemen's Agreement" on it, with him either not responding to requests about it or insisting all throughout the installation process "we'll take care of it." It NEVER got "taken care of." Recently our power went out and while our battery lasted only so long - $112,000. later we had no way to charge it or run my house off of generator... So what started out as a 5-star project has changed into a 2-star review, with the "2" being generous given the work done at the beginning was done well. I am thoroughly disappointed and can no longer recommend using United Solar Co. in NJ for anything requiring trustworthy service.

I got a call from them about energy savings. They cam over showed my savings. I signed up my system has been on for 4 months and bill has been super low. I wish i did it sooner

I sat down with multiple companies but United Solar gave me the best price and the fastest turnaround time. It was a easy process and my rep Nick was awsome. I was installed in about 2 months other companies told me 4 months.
