Happy with Green House Solar (GHS)

I am impressed with Green House Solar (GHS) and confidently recommend their expertise in electrical engineering, project management, and installation quality. I personally used and still encourage that others use the EnergySage marketplace (or such) to get competitive bids. Then I picked GHS. Our contract was signed early November 2023. As soon as permits were granted, they came out quickly in December and did the physical panel installation in one day, and finished the electrical the next day. I'm so appreciative-- the BEST thing GHS did for me was to honor my request to finish installation prior to December 31st so I could quickly utilize my federal tax credit asap in April. When I was given the PTO, the outside electical panel door was stuck closed. GHS came out promptly the next day to remedy the situation, and then the system was turned LIVE and generating power. Three criticisms of GHS: 1. The coordinator had been GREAT, but unfortunately, she was let go due to a re-org soon after my install (hopefully unrelated), and my remaining experience with GHS went down hill after that. Hopefully the successors have gotten things under control by now. 2. GHS didn't help or provide guidance with the post-install items like Registration and NJ incentives. It took them months to submit the "as-built" documentation to NJ ADI agency. Also, their documentation to me was out of date with the websites involved, e.g. it mentioned selling SRECs on a marketplace, which is obsolete. The SuSi SREC-IIs have a fixed price from "solarincentivesnj" . 3. It took 5 months (until Nov 2024) for GHS to email their customers about the SunPower Chapter 11 Bankruptcy that was publically announced on June 2024. Until that one email, GHS was suspiciously quiet, not mentioning that it happened, how it would affect customers, that additional warranty registration was required, and how they would be there to support and help. Five compliments about Green House Solar (GHS): 1. The system is well engineered. 2. The application and permit submissions were handled well (in the beginning). 3. The installation is sturdy, secure, and functional. 4. They have chosen panels that are durable, efficient, and with a great warranty. 5. They have a sense of urgency (quick year-end installation, quick panel door troubleshooting). I'm so glad I went solar and with GHS, and all things considered, I'd give them near 5/5 stars. Thanks! -Mike , Sussex County NJ

Latest bad review thumbs down

Gabriel Carvalho | North Arlington, New Jersey | 12/02/2024

If you’re reading this review it’s not from a customer point of view it’s from a Green House Solar employee point of view. The organization greatly lacks and so does communication and trustworthiness with the customer. There are plenty of better solar companies out there for homeowners to pick. Sun run, Sunnova, Trinity, Infinity Energy are all companies that have been around the same amount of time or even longer and they have 10x the amount of reviews. So you do the math. Why does Green House only have 20 reviews in 10 years. I could go on for days but it’s up to you the consumer to pick so hopefully this helps you make a decision when your looking through reviews.

Top notch solar company

We are extremely satisfied with our Green House Solar Installation! From the sales process with Gino through the install with Simon and his team, engineering support from Rob as well as communication with Frank Curran (owner) and Nick Lawrence (project manager) we truly felt taken care of. Simon & Nick did a great job keeping us up to date on schedules, what to expect from the town, state and utility company , answering questions with professionalism and patience. A wonderful experience all around for such a big project for us with so many components to navigate for completion. We highly recommend Green House Solar!

Solar Install

My name is Joe Marazzo and I would like to leave a review of my experience with Greenhouse Solar. My professional background is in the Energy Field. I received my BS in Civil Engineering and started my career with the Brooklyn Union Gas Company as a Management Trainee in 1980. My first 18 years was on the gas distribution/ engineering side of the business. In 1998, Brooklyn Union purchased the Long Island Lighting Co and became KeySpan Energy. In 2002 , I was promoted to President and COO of KeySpan Home Energy Services (the residential energy services unregulated side of the business). During that timeframe, KeySpan also acquired Boston Gas and with the NYC, Long Island, and greater Boston area, became the largest Energy Provider in the Northeast. During my tenure as President and COO , I became very interested in photovoltaics and other forms of renewable energy. In 2007, KeySpan was acquired by National Grid. I remained on as COO of National Grid Home Services to help with the transition. In 2009, I retired from National Grid and joined Clean Energy USA as a partner. At that time, I also became certified in Photovoltaic energy. Clean Energy USA was a Sunpower dealer with headquarters in Rehobeth Beach, DE. In late 2010, with many changes happening in the solar industry, I was offered a position with New Jersey Resources in Wall Township NJ. I was responsible for NJR Home Services which included residential installation of Solar panels. At that time, I also installed a 11kw Sunpower system on my home in Basking Ridge , NJ. I retired from NJR Home Services in 2015 and my wife and I built our new home in Gladstone, NJ. I specifically had my builder prep the house for future solar power and made sure that our back roof had perfect orientation. The pandemic set us back on getting it done but in 2022, I decided to pursue bids from Sunpower dealers. Because of the pandemic and supply chain issues we waited until the spring of 2023. I met with a few Sunpower dealers but was most impressed with Greenhouse Solar. After meeting with Rob Emery, I felt very comfortable with Greenhouse Solar. Again, because of supply chain issues plaguing Sunpower, I decided to go with the German made Meyer Burger panels. The system was installed in late summer 2023. I was very impressed with the the staff at Greenhouse Solar. They made the entire process seamless and there workmanship was very professional. Also, they were extremely responsive to a few glitches we experienced on start up. I would like to endorse and recommend Greenhouse Solar. I have been very happy with them.

Solar on Hunter Drive | Madison, New Jersey | 08/04/2022

Making my house work for me

Our total experience with Green House Solar of Madison was outstanding. From the initial consultation/interview through completion of the project , each aspect was well done. Communication with Lauren was always timely, accurate, and professional. Initial consultations with planning and design was informative and positive. I never had a doubt that I made a bad choice. The installers arrived on time and worked until the day’s tasks were complete. When the panels arrived, they were fully installed in 1 1/2 days. On the second day the installers worked from 7:45 a.m. until 8:30 pm to complete the job. Their work ethic is top notch and positive. The entire work force was polite, professional, willing to answer all questions. The entire experience was very gratifying ! I give Green House solar my highest recommendation!!!

10/10

These guys are amazing. I found them from some random solar website I was using and like with most of those sites I entered the relationship with an extreme amount of skepticism. However that was replaced with understanding and the ability to meet some pretty awesome people. I had most of my questions answered before I asked them and what I did ask was answered quickly by Rob (Sales). The installers (Other Rob and team) were also amazing. They allowed me to follow along and explained everything they were doing as I had some interest in learning. They were patient and methodical. Also, HUGE shoutout for the neatness of the work done. The cable runs that the electrician did (mint), and the lines from the roof to the garage, along with the ethernet cable installed to my network cabinet...all was done with professionalism. Lastly, the front office team were also great. They actually showed up on the job-site and said hello which was different and awesome to see. All in all, Green House Solar did a fantastic job and the only thing I get to complain about now, is the amount of cloudy days each month :)

Great Service from beginning to end!

I always prefer to "go local" when looking to improve my home or upgrade my services. I was not disappointed by Green House Solar. From the low pressure sales, where every option was carefully explained, questions answered and costs broken down in a clear manner, to the permitting and support from Rob (Lead electrician) and his crew and Kristen (Project Coordinator) and her crew, I was never let down. There's a lot paper work to wade through and Green House Solar was always there guide the way. Not to mention SunPower and the Battery Backup! Excellent technical support--the system is producing...it works!

Enoying our trasition to solar!

Wish we transitioned to solar sooner. Our solar panel layout and their field-techs did a great job at installation and efficiency in getting it done, despite being installed the year of Covid-19. Communication by our final Project Coordinator as well as the Owner and their current Operations Coordinator rescued some early 'growing pains' felt from two misstep staffers when we initially engaged with Green House Solar. At least there is a caring owner at the helm to ensure we were taken care of. Their quality was never in question and was delivered. Glad to be saving energy cost while also giving back.

Built as promised!

Green House offered a quality experience from beginning to end! Communication was stellar; I approached three companies initially, and their pitch was the most detailed and accurate. Installation was smooth and professional. We are very happy with our solar generator!

Thank you Green House Solar!

Deciding which solar contractor to go with seemed like a daunting task until Green House Solar came along. I appreciated the relatively small size of the company which allowed for direct, hands-on attention from the owner, Frank, his salesperson Michael, project coordinator Tim and installers Rob and Cory. They were there for me and my home every step of the way. There are a lot of hurdles to clear to get a system up and running from idea to reality, most of which have to do with building inspectors, the utility company and the state, but they navigated them all for us. Not to mention the panels and inverters they deal with are top notch, and we look forward to a profitable and earth-friendly system for years to come!

Maintenance on a 10 year old install.

I contacted Green House Solar not for an install, but for maintenance on an existing 10 year old ( squirrel chewed) installation. They were communicative, letting me know when they'd arrive - through a couple of reschedules - and the crew were pleasant, informative, explained to me - even showed me - the problems, and were diligent: fixing my issues in a timely manner. Given the difficulty in getting an existing install worked on, what with Solar companies from 10 years ago being out of business now, I'd recommend Green Solar for work and/or new installs - and will be my goto guys for my replacement install, whenever that happens. 5/5 "would buy again"
