Coldstream Solar

Greg, Evan, Cliff and the team put in quite a bit of work to coordinate a carefully considered solar setup, some home electrical work to get up to code, and a roof install. Having a solar and roofing company under one roof made communication and planning much easier for both projects. I appreciated that everybody was highly responsive with questions and document requests and helped get us set up for net metering, by dealing with the power company and the county.

We worked with a great team at Coldstream Solar- Luke (Sales), Evan (Operations), Logan & Wyatt (Electricians). From the get go, Luke answered my 8000 questions. Communication was key and the entire team was excellent. They were professional and their work was solid and neat. Install was excellent from permits to inspection. They handled it all. Can't wait to see the real results!

From the first contact with Coldstream through the installation and beyond Coldestream has exceeded our expectations. Luke answered all of our questions and the drone footage of the finished roof is so cool. Our production seems to be meeting or exceeding their estimates. Would highly recommend.

Just wrapped up our solar install and we couldn’t be happier. Well, maybe if it wasn’t so cloudy and raining. But that will pass. I learned a lot in the process that I started back in March. The first company I contacted wanted to sell me a PPA system with no money down. They sent me the paperwork, and I took the time to read it. The more I read, the more I thought, “This isn’t a good deal!” It was no money down, but you don’t really own anything. They own the equipment and you are stuck paying them and the power company (net metering)! And what you pay them goes up a set percentage every year, for 25 years! I told them I wasn’t interested in such a plan and they came up with another proposal which looked more like they were trying to sell me as many panels as they could, even if they were only getting partial sun. I reached out to Coldstream Solar to see what they could do. Luke prepared an analysis with LIDAR maps and animations that tracked the sunlight our roof would get throughout the year so I could see just where it made the most sense to install the panels and how many panels would provide the best return on investment. Luke made the whole process simple and stress free. I had a few technical questions, and he mostly knew the answer or was able to talk to his engineer and get an answer quickly. The other company was also calling me from Utah or Florida based on caller ID area codes. Coldstream is local to Southwest Ohio and that was a big plus for me. It was a bit of a challenge getting all the wiring and connection on the limited wall space outside by the meter, but they figured it out. Coldstream took care of getting all the permits and inspections. They also upgraded my house service panel to 200 Amp service. I had checked a year ago with a different company to do that and Coldstream was actually $1.5k less. It was originally scheduled to be installed last Thursday, but they had a customer whose site had an emergency technical problem that they had to fix, so they rescheduled for this Monday. While I was a bit annoyed about the delay, it did tell that they didn’t just install the system and go away. If there are any problems, I feel confident they will take care of me as well. If you’re considering solar, mention our install and they’ll give you a discounted quote. Their website is www.coldstreamsolar.com and Luke's direct line is 513-633-6801.

We had 20+ solar panels installed by Coldstream earlier this month and are greatly pleased with the result. From our first contact with Luke in sales to the project planning with Evan to the installation with Logan and his team, all were a pleasure to deal with. All are very, very knowledgeable about what they do and they are happy to make the information easy to digest by newbies like ourselves. We’re happy to recommend them to anyone interested in exploring solar power.

Luke, Evan and the rest of the team at Coldstream Solar did a great job on our install. Knowledgable, efficient, low key and competitive on cost. Easy to work with and thorough. Got through the planning, permitting and install towards the end of 2025, even with all the pressure from the surprise expiration of the solar tax credit. Install was professionally done and is working great.
