SunBlue Energy

I'm not one to take the time to write a review. However, SunBlue was exceptional from start to finish. And it was not just at the start with the sales process. Everyone from the sales, project management, and installers were first rate. Benefit that SunBlue has is these are all employees of SunBlue, so they all have a vested interest in each customer.

I'm one of those people who does a lot of research before speaking with anyone...which is why EnergySage was a fantastic place to start. Thus I had a lot of questions when we first spoke - which they always handled promptly by email - so it was at my convenience. After narrowing it down to 3 Co, I reached out to have a call with each Co. From the first contact SunBlue's Jonathan Bonhomme was direct, factual, prompt, and patient with all my questions. Of all the Co's I spoke to, Jonathan was the most forthright and always the first to follow through and respond. Between that, the fact they are local, price was in line with other Co, and do not subcontract - signing with them was an easy choice.

Once I agreed to start - I'll sum it up like this...."What he said they would do, is exactly what they did." They handled everything. From walking me through the loan application process, to filling for the building permit, reaching out to ConEdison & adding bracing in my attic. They even have a Notary for the forms that needed to be notarized. They came to my home or office which ever was most convenient to me.

The whole project ran like clockwork - thanks to Richez who managed the over all process. I believe I received my building permit on a Friday. The following Thursday - they started the install. That first day - they did put all the electric in place and braced the attic. I don't know about you, but I have lots of stuff in my attic. Items were moved with care and there was no mess anywhere when they were done. Unfortunately, we then had four days of rain so they could not complete the job until the end of the following week. Weather broke & the crew was back on site and finished the install that day. Of course they handled the electrical inspection and certification. Once that was done, ConEd came within a week (I was surprised about that) and put the new meter in so I could turn on the system. SunBlue then came back and took the time to provide a complete walk through of the system, provided me copies of all documentation including the roof & solar survey's, contracts, and equipment warranties.

Systems been on for about 3 weeks now. Production is what they projected and I have full confidence that I'll be able to cover 100% of my usage over a 12 month period.

If I had to do it all over again - I would go right back to SunBlue.

We interviewed several solar system vendors. SunBlue impressed us with their low pressure, patient conversation, a detailed bid and clear explanation of how the installation, rebates and incentives would work out. The install went smoothly and we have enjoyed annual net zero electricity consumption ever since! We are on track to break even six years after installation if electricity rates stay flat. Sweet!

The panels and microinverters that SunBlue chose for our roof (detached residential) and installed 14 months ago have produced more electricity for each of those months than Sun Blue had predicted (except for months in which snow covered the panels). The surplus was somewhere between 10% and 40% more than predicted in each month. In addition, while pre-installation SunBlue had predicted we would produce on a net basis around 78% of our family usage, we actually produced about 110% of our family usage in the first year (which includes the down time for the snow). We could not be happier with our SunBlue installation, and enthusiastically recommend them to similarly situated homeowners.

SunBlue installed 20 solar panels on my roof. From the first interaction when they crawled up on the roof and estimated whether the job was feasible to today -- two years later -- when they continue to come by periodically to check in on the panels, I sing their praises. SunBlue handled all of the Village permitting issues, were timely in their estimates of installation, worked with a tree guy to trim what needed to be done... I highly recommend.

We have a 5k system on our roof for around 2+ years. It just sits there generating power with little thought to much of anything. Once we had a minor issue post install, and it was taken care of quickly and effectively.

Nice people, effective product, good for my wallet and environment.

Still look for a downside, haven't found one.

The employees of Sunblue are professional and care about their work and customer satisfaction. From the start Chris guided the process and there high customer service has continued after the installation.

Chris, Barrett and the rest of the SunBlue company was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They explained the process from of my purchase for solar panels from day one to the day that I was able to finally flip the switch to active me panels. I was always kept up to date every step of the way. The crew made sure that my property was kept clean at all times during the installation of the panel system. I was very happy that I had picked SunBlue Energy for my purchase and would highly recommend them for anyone looking to purchase solar panels.

Friendly, professional analysis and recommendations followed by a professional installation. No surprises.

What more could one ask for?

they kept all their promises. Chris Hale is a class act. I'm making over 10% on my investment.

I had a very good experience with SunBlue for my solar system for my home. This includes the explanations before I agreed to the system and the whole installation process. The crew were professional, neat and finished quickly. I strongly recommend SunBlue!

From the planning stage all the way through the completion of the installation, all the members of the Sun Blue team were extremely competent and professional in getting the job done right. Their response time to answer question or any issue that arose was superb. Now a year and a half after the installation I am happy to say that our Solar output has exceeded the estimates we were given and I can't be happier with Sun Blue Energy.

SunBlue provided a quality, affordable solar installation. They always kept me informed of the status of the installation, and arrived on time for appointments. The staff was always professional, personable, and responsive to questions. The install was preformed neatly, resulting in a good looking job. I would highly recommend them.

The entire process was seamless and we've been producing a great deal of energy especially during spring and summer
Our electric bill has significantly deminished

We had quotes from four different solar companies. We decided we wanted to buy our system rather than lease it, and we wanted high quality components but not necessarily the most expensive. We also liked the idea of going with a local company rather than a national chain. Out of all the sales people we spoke with, we liked Barrett Silver from SunBlue the best. He took the time to explain things in detail and answer all our questions completely. Unlike some other sales representatives, we felt confident in his integrity, and he didn't try to pressure us to make a sale. SunBlue used only high quality components (LG 300 panels, SMA inverters, Unirac's SolarMount system) and came in at a price we thought was reasonable. Their system should supply 104% of our annual electricity needs. Our SMA inverters came with the option of a secure power supply in case of the grid going down, and SunBlue offered to put the secure power supply outlet in the upstairs room where we work on our computers. Permitting with NYSERDA and the town (Greenburgh, NY) went more quickly then we anticipated. The team that did the survey and installation work was friendly and professional. They came when they said they would, and cleaned up after themselves. There were some small unanticipated problems during the process -- because of the town electrical code requirements, the inverters couldn't be placed where we originally thought they would go in our garage, and instead ended up mounted outside the back of the house. This meant more extensive wiring than anticipated to get the secure power outlet where we wanted it to be. The installation team communicated well with us around these problems, invited our input, and came up with solutions that completely satisfied us. ConEd swapped out our meter and the town completed its inspections faster than we thought they would, and we are now up and running. Electrical production is what they predicted it would be. Our panels are warranted for 25 years, our inverters and mounting system for 10 years, and SunBlue warrantees all their work for 5 years. Barrett Silver visited us once again when all the work was complete to answer any of our remaining questions and get our feedback about the process. After NYSERDA rebates and State and Federal tax credits, the actual cost of the system to us should be $19,500. We would definitely recommend their services to others.
