WHAT MAKES CERTASUN DIFFERENT?

1. A GREAT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
You don’t need to believe us — just look at our reviews! You deserve a solar company that respects your time, intelligence, and home. We’re serious about making sure our customers feel like they’re getting the most care when they work with us. We are incredibly proud of our near perfect reviews on Google and SolarReviews.com. They tell us we’re doing something right.

2. WE DO EVERYTHING IN-HOUSE
It is not possible to guarantee a great customer experience when important parts of your project — such as sales, installation, or incentive processing — are handled by subcontractors.

3. OUR INTERESTS ARE ALIGNED WITH YOURS
We guarantee the energy production of your system over its lifetime. We also guarantee you’ll get the incentives you see in your installation agreement.

4. YOUR SYSTEM WILL LOOK GREAT
We don’t take installation shortcuts. Don’t assume all solar panel installations look the same — they don’t.

5. YOU DECIDE HOW TO PAY
We will advise you on available financing options, but won’t push you to use any one of them.

Great experience with Certasun

From the analysis through the contract preparation and signing, pre-installation, set up and now usage, my experience with Certasun has been great. Communication was fantastic throughout the process from all involved and pretty much everything has gone to plan during that time. My system went operational recently and I am blown away at my production. Wish I had done it years ago! Only setback was the inspection but that was something beyond Certasun's control and they rectified the issue right away and the second inspection went through without a hitch.

Certasun = Outstanding!

Certasun is an outstanding company to work with. During my bidding process, I did consult with other solar installers. Certasun was by far the best value for my particular project, and after going through the entire process, I'm very happy we chose them. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable working with their salesman, and that level of comfort carried over to their customer service and installers. I was readily kept updated throughout the entire process from accepting their proposal, establishing a loan, the permitting phase, and ultimately the installation and going live on the grid. Id highly recommend Certasun for your solar project because you're getting a company with the knowledge, professionalism, as well as friendliness that you deserve.

Went with Certasun 5 years ago.

We took the leap into Solar with Certasun 5 years ago. I learned if them from a coworker who had researched it deeply. We are extremely pleased with the results. The most important thing I look for in a contractor is "did they do what they promised?". Certasun passed with flying colors. Their estimate of the system size was spot on. I generate 100-101% of our needs every year,

Great customer service! True to their words!

They are not hard sell, and their process is really easy. They take care of the leg work in getting permits, approvals, etc. My solar system is working well! And as expected, my bill went down from $150 plus per month to just the $17 (service fee of being connected to the grid). See Dan Grisko! He’s great at explaining how their system works.

Solar Panel Installation and addition

From the very beginning to the end, I was very happy with their work. They were very professional and cooperative. I do not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. They helped me with my state incentive for solar program.
