Questions that separate good installers from bad ones
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.
What is the most reputable solar panel company?
- Years in business. 5+ is good. 10+ is better.
- Local presence. They should know Tyler 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:
- Companies with 'scam' in reviews (we've seen 78+ examples)
- Installers described as 'worst' or 'horrible' repeatedly
- Frequent mentions of 'no response' or 'won't call back'
- Reviews mentioning 'lies' or 'broken promises'
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 questions should I ask before buying solar?
- Who handles the Oncor 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?
