Great company, very responsive to issues

I got a system installed by AltEnergy (Now Tiger Solar) in 2021 and they were very professional, I had gotten several quotes from companies in my state while Tiger solar wasn't the cheapest they were in the middle and were local to my city so I went with them. I had a problem with my system not switching to backup about 2 months after install, I emailed them Friday night about it and they called me first thing Saturday morning and were out there before noon on Saturday to fix the issue. I also recommended them to my Mom who got a system from them in 2022 and they did a very good job there as well.

Lots of options, Glad I went with Tiger

I had quotes with 4 different companies. Some through EnergySage and some on my own. Some were extremely pushy high pressure sales that were too expensive and made the "Manager" call for discounts. Tiger was easy to work with, low pressure, high knowledge, and helpful to get the sale. Once we signed after getting the right system, nothing changed. They were easy to work with, professional, and the job looks fantastic like its always been there. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking. I am an research nerd when shopping for anything but especially a higher end item like solar. It worked out great with this one. I highly recommend Tiger Solar!

The right choice

In January 2022, we contracted with Tiger Solar for an installation of 22 - 450 watt solar panels mounted in our field; and a Solar Edge inverter producing 9.9 KW DC (11.1 KW AC). Winter was more difficult than usual in Michigan and the system was installed and activated on June 20, 2022. While we have not seen our first bill from Consumers Energy, information from the Solar Edge inverter has shown us that our average daily energy production for the first 3 weeks in July is 53.48 KW. In reviewing our billing records for the past 5 years, our average daily electric usage was 43.58 KW. We have had more than the normal amount of rain in July, so even with cloudy days, we have more than met our electrical production expectations for the month. Our average electric demand for December drops to 26.3 KW, so we believe that the solar panels will still produce enough electricity for our needs as the weather changes. We acted as the general contractor when we built our house. The Tiger Solar installation team was one of the best sub-contractors that we have encountered. The installation was completed in 4 days. Coordination with their electrician and Consumers Energy could not have been better. Questions on the operation of the solar inverter were answered within the day. Congratulations to the Tiger Solar team for a job well done! The price of propane has increased $800 per year. Our next project is to remove the hot water tank from the boiler, and install a 55 gallon electric hot water heater to use some of the excess electricity.

Great company

The sales reps are not pushy and are very knowledgeable moving up in the company from installer to sales. Can't ask for better people to deal with. The installers are very friendly and also very knowledgeable. Currently my install is around 50% done and I'm impressed with Alt Energy.

Great Service

I’ve had tiger solar (alt energy then) for several years. After the ting outage in the martha Jefferson area knocked out my router and messed up my solar equipment they came out and put it back together. No charge. Great team. Plan to add more panels soon.
