Southern Energy Management

Very pleased with our solar system installed by Southern Energy Management (SEM)! I requested quotes from three companies, and while it seemed a little "wild west" with the other companies, SEM was straight-forward, methodical, and low-pressure. They also ended up being the most cost-effective. The installers and electrician were great, and the project manager handled all of the permitting and inspections. We're getting the output we expected, and it's a lot of fun watching the sun power our home and push the extra electricity to the grid!

I bough a complete system PVT-Panels plus hot water Panels. The photo voltaic portion works OK. However there is no support anymore for the Water heating part which stopped working. I was referred to another company which has not responded to my call for 3 days now. I was assured to get service from Southern Energy Management when I signed my contract with them.

When I look for information on solar Panel systems, I contacted a number of Installers and settled with Southern Energy Management after receiving the information I needed, in a down to earth Manner, no techno Jargon, simple and easy to understand, along with the manner to which this was given, professionally respectfully and clearly, with that information I went on looking but came back to what I felt was the best. we went over the options of systems and capacities outputs and costs, and agreed on my system's size and location, we even discussed the routing of the conduit carrying the wiring from the roof to the position in the garage of the Inverter, as well as the positioning of the panels to avoid rooftop obstructions and best output positions. The cost came up a few times and it looked scary at first and then their representative told me about the Rebate options offered by some energy suppliers (Duke Energy) whom give you money to install Solar, Wow who would have thought, we also discussed Tax incentives both state, SC, (25%) and federal (30%), after which I thought why wouldn't everyone do this? There are no upfront costs to this the system is designed fitted and up and running before anything is required. My duke energy bill went from $127 approx. per month to less than $8, which is really a line fee. Come on this is so simple, it makes more energy than you use, the leftover power is redirected to Duke energy and they pay you for this credit once a year around March 30th, I'm currently running around $45 per month credit to duke. working out the numbers they'll be paying me $540 in March after a full year. These people are the best at their respective jobs, professional, efficient, polite, clean and exact. they do what you want, going beyond to ensure your happy and pleased with the system. I've had questions since the system was fitted and yes, they went out of their way to answer and explain clearly the variations of the systems. they have people on the ground (Greenville, SC) to visit you if you feel there is a question that needs face to face explanation, and he is happy to call on you. Top notch team these guys are your best option for Solar panel installation in the SC area,
