Finding a good solar installer in Houston comes down to experience, reviews, and warranty terms. Not all companies are equal.
Why some solar companies have terrible reviews
We analyzed thousands of solar company reviews. The top complaints: poor communication, delayed installations, and companies that disappear after the sale. These aren't edge cases - they're patterns you can avoid by knowing what to look for.
How do I choose a solar company?
- Years in business. 5+ is good. 10+ is better.
- Local presence. They should know Houston permitting.
- Warranty coverage. 25 years on panels, 10+ on labor.
- Reviews. Check Google, Yelp, BBB.
Red Flags from Real Reviews
After analyzing 1,400+ negative reviews, these are the warning signs:
- Complaints about 'pushy sales' or 'pressure tactics'
- Reports of 'delays' lasting months or years
- Issues with 'billing' that never got resolved
- Damage to 'roof' during installation
Signs your solar company has poor communication
The #1 complaint in solar reviews: "They won't call me back." This happens more than you'd think. A good installer responds within 24-48 hours. If you can't reach them before the sale, imagine trying to get warranty service after.
What should I know before signing a solar contract?
- Who handles the CenterPoint interconnection paperwork?
- What's your warranty on workmanship?
- Are your installers W-2 employees or subcontractors?
- Do your battery systems qualify for grid services programs?
