We had been thinking about solar for a number of years, and finally decided to get serious about it. We sent out 4 requests for quotes to different companies, with Energy Solutions being one of them. We didn’t know very much about solar, other than we had a bunch of roof real-estate that seemed to get decent sun exposure.
Our first contact was with Zach at Energy Solutions. Scheduling was easy, and he spent the time needed to take a look at everything. From our two 200-amp panels, to our attic, our generator, and taking exposure readings across our roof. He took his time, explained everything, listened to what we were trying to do, and wrapped up. I didn’t know it then, but Zach’s visit set the bar really high.
The other 3 vendors were much larger companies with various product offerings and solutions. Some had the same hardware Energy Solutions offered (Enphase, REC, etc.). The first contacts and meetups were really more sales calls. These companies were trying to tell us what we wanted, and didn’t listen to what we were really asking for.
Then the quotes came in. We have a 19.68kW system with storage that Energy Solutions installed. We were trying to maximize our generation capacity. The next largest system a company quote was 13kW, and that involved adding panels to our one out building requiring directional drilling to our main house (that we did not want at all). Per-panel/microinverter cost breakdown, Energy Solutions was still far and above less expensive.
The install was great. The team installed everything from our 4 batteries to all the new gear and panels where it was obvious they take pride in their work. We had a tiny oopsie that resulted in a small crack in the ceiling of our living room, but Grant had it taken care of quickly and painlessly. Things happen, and the difference between a good company and a great company is how they make it right. Energy Solutions is a great company.
I can’t recommend them enough. We’re really happy with our system, but especially happy with the company with how we were taken care of.
Just like everyone who is looking for solar, you would do your due diligence in searching for the right company to help you meet your solar needs. The first couple of companies we went with were way overpriced and they were promising the moon. Upon further research. I came across Energy Solutions and was in contact with the owner texting back and forth about questions I had.
They came out and did a site measurement and gave me an upfront and clear breakdown of what it would cost for the total project. Nothing was hidden. There were NO surprises at the end and was also able to have them install an interlock kit in case the power went out, and I needed to use my generator for the house.
After two years of service, I've had no issues with the equipment, I also an email from their team checking in to make sure everything was good and if I had any questions, I could reach out to them at any time.
I also recommended them to my neighbors as I had such a great experience. One of my neighbors went with a different company and he has had total regrets on why he chose that company for his solar.
If you are looking for a great, transparent solar company, you will not regret your decision.
I hired Energy Solutions to install batteries on my PV System and I am sure glad I did. I checked around the Portland area for installers that would install an Enphase battery backup system and Energy Solutions checked all the boxes. Locally owned ✔️, Enphase experts ✔️, superbly qualified electrician/owner ✔️, reasonable bid and price ✔️, reasonable time-frame ✔️, excellent one day install ✔️.
I am happy with the work Energy Solutions did and I would hire them again. I recommend them for Solar/Photovoltaic installs and work.
They did an amazing job on a 11.5kw system, Grant was great to speak with and had a lot of knowledge about creating the right kind of system for me. Best thing was they offered different panel types that would meet my needs. Most companies only offer one or two tops. The whole process was fairly quickly I think it has only been 5 weeks from signing the paper work to turning on the system. Grant was very quick in getting all the paper work and inspection done. Highly recommended, their installer was very friendly and did a very clean/sleek job took 2 days to complete it. They showed up on time to start the job and when they left they made sure it was all clean. I believe in support local companies like this and their quality of work really shows here. This was one of the best experience i had.
Did a 13 kilowatt ground-mount system. Grant handled the process from start to finish. They kept every promise and exceeded my expectations! During the most recent ice storm the power was out for multiple days Grant came by and got my emergency backup system running. The customer service is top notch! I'm very excited, I can power my fridge and freezer during the day without running the generator! I would not hesitate to use this company again.
