Red flags when choosing a solar installer
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 San Antonio 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
How to ensure your installer keeps you updated
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 CPS Energy 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?
