Future Energy

Future Energy installed our solar system this spring and the experience was simple and drama-free. The price was extremely reasonable and they use high quality panels and microinverters. Vince, the owner, is good at cutting through all of the BS, so you get honest information throughout (and he's just generally a good guy to deal with.) The installation took about 8-9 hours in total and the impact on our lives and our neighbors was minimal. Our system has been running with no problems at all for a month now. Highly recommended.

This company did a great job. Great communication before job. Clean install on a flat roof, nicely assembled and designed. They even color matched the conduit to the house, which is great attention to detail. Fast work, polite, they handled the inspection and permits and everything. Highly recommend.

Going solar is a big investment. I interviewed three providers through energysage - they were all good, but Vince had the magic touch. His quote wasn't the cheapest, but it wasn't the most expensive either. The deciding factor was his knowledge and personality - he had done his homework looking at our roof and electricity usage and I didn't feel like he was trying to oversell me into more than I needed. His installers were professional and FAST. The only down side was the wait to get the panels installed - Vince was so busy that it was hard to get an accurate estimate of when the install would happen. I think it was about 5 months from when we pulled the trigger till the install. But that would have happened with any good provider, sounds like it was crazy busy at the beginning of 2023. And Vince was always quick to respond when I checked in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vince and his team.

Vince was great to work with and very patient with all of my questions . He designed an attractive array and it looks great . Despite going right to the wire on NEM2 , he pushed me through in time.

When we began the process of shopping for solar panels, there was a lot of information coming at us, and it was a bit overwhelming. We gathered multiple independent quotes, and they were all over the map. We took a pause, and did a deep dive into educating ourselves on solar panel systems, and began our bidding process again on the EnergySage website. This time, we were able to cut through the sales speak to really line up a more apple to apple comparison of the bids we were receiving. Future Energy, and their point of contact Vince that I interacted with stood out from the rest at this point. Vince took the time to go over the design of the system with me, point by point. He answered all of my questions, and didn’t upsell anything. It was a refreshing change of pace, he was the straightest shooter I had dealt with in the bidding process by far. The contract we signed with Future Energy was clearly written, and all questions we had were answered in a timely manner. We quickly moved along to the installation day. The crew that Future Energy sent out for the install of our panels were on point. They worked quickly, and I was impressed with their professionalism. They finished the install in a single day, ran a clean job site, and were respectful to the property. When all was said and done, I really appreciated their attention to even the small details- for example, they asked if I had any touch up paint for the exterior color of our house. (I did). They used it to paint the small run of conduit they had installed on the exterior wall to match the color of our house. They did the same on the roof, painting any exposed conduit to color match the roof shingles. They didn’t have to do that, and it was a nice touch. Once the panels were installed, it takes awhile to get through the inspection and permitting process to finally receive Permission to Operate from the electric company. This part is a bit frustrating with its slow pace. As the owner, you can see your shiny new solar panels sitting on your roof, but months drag by before you get to see the actual benefit they provide reflected on your electric bill. Things are happening behind the scenes, with the installers handling communications with the electric company and county, but it’s a largely invisible process to the homeowner. I knocked one star off their rating for their responsiveness during this period- for a lot of the time I felt like I was in the dark as to where we were in the approval process. THAT SAID… Future Energy was handling everything behind the scenes in getting us through the approval process. No deadlines were missed, all paperwork was handled, and we didn’t have to jump in for any of that. Despite wondering at times where we stood in the process, it all came together smoothly and received our Permission To Operate with no problems. We’re very happy with our system, and I’m glad we chose Future Energy to work with. I’d recommend them to anyone, and will do business with them again when it comes time to upgrade our main panel.

If you want a company that over promises and under delivers, then sign up with Future energy today. My wife and I wanted to get solar panels put on our house before the April 14th dealine of NEM 2.0. During the quoting process, Vince apologized for the lack of communication since he was so busy. I asked him straight out if he was too busy to help me before the deadline. If he was, I could go to another company. Vince assured me that it would be no issue, and I could sign the contracts before the deadline. They came to my house and took pictures with the drone to make the drawings, and that was the last I heard from them for months. I attempted getting ahold of Vince over text, and there was no response. I figured they were just busy, but since I already signed up it would be fine. Fast forward a few months, and Vince tells me there is nothing they can do. Whatever I signed isn't going to help me. As a consolation prize, they will give me a Enphase battery at cost... which is $11,000... If you do end up working with this company, which you shouldnt, definitely get someone besides Vince.
