"Customer Service Not a Priority"

Reviewed Oct 19, 2020

The hardware is fantastic - when working. If you have a problem and need help: Good luck connecting with anyone at Chilicon in less than a couple of weeks. Their business has grown rapidly - but it seems that their customer service department has 1 or 2 people handling everything that comes in across the country.

My Gateway is constantly malfunctioning. They recently sent me an email with a list of potential technical fixes (I'm not a tech person) and a link to their customer support library. I guess I'm supposed to fix it myself. OK: I click on the link and my browser can't find their server. I tried my computer at work in case there was an issue with my home network. Same result. These kinds of things happen all the time with Chilicon.

I have lost well over 10% of my solar credits due to Chilicon's delays in responding to my problems this year.

"Chilicon Microinverters are a great value!"

We have been installing Chilicon Microinverters for over a year now and they have been performing really well so far. I've been installing Enphase, APS, SolarEdge, and SMA inverters for years now but Chilicon is holding up well for the overall value. You get a 2:1 microinverter system with 25-year product warranty and monitoring. 2 solar panels to every 1 microinverter means fewer points of potential failure. We've had a few Enphase M215 Microinverters and SolarEdge optimizers fail but so far, no Chilicon issues. I like that the tech support team is right here in Simi Valley (Southern California). I'm seeing an overall better return for the customers when they choose Chilicon over some of the more popular, and more expensive, inverter options. I hope that other contractors give Chilicon a shot so they can grow their operations, reputation, and credibility. Currently, Chilicon does yet offer "labor reimbursement" like some of the larger companies but I hope they will add that benefit as they grow.

Why Work with Chilicon Power

Since 2010, Chilicon Power has been manufacturing the world's most technologically advanced solar system. The only 100% American made inverter, Chilicon Power has been growing rapidly over the past four years (1000% plus) as installers and homeowners have become aware of our superior product. We've recently launched the groundbreaking CP-720, the most powerful microinverter available. A twin inverter, it produces 720 watts of power- 360 per module- and is compatible with any panel on the market. The CP-720 is extremely cost effective, as well. In addition, our revolutionary monitoring system (the Gateway) leads the industry in both aesthetics and performance. Featuring a 7 inch touch screen with color graphics, the Gateway boasts an extremely robust PLC that has a 500 foot range and doesn't get knocked off by noise or interference. It also offers add-on features such as home security and consumption monitoring. The Gateway is, in essence, an all-in-one smart home hub. In summation, Chilicon Power manufacturers a high tech microinverter system at a competitive price, right here in the USA.
