Public Service Solar has impressed me throughout the process
I started looking into solar in late August 2024 and after careful scrutiny of several vendors decided to go with Public Service Solar (PSS). They impressed me with their industry knowledge and use of technology in our initial meetings. I felt their foundation in roofing and electrical was well placed, especially after having spoken with others who had solar installed that had issues in both areas. Any solar project is going to be expensive, and PSS was not the lowest priced offer I received, but I felt with the level of equipment offered, small extras such as critter guards, strong warranties, experience of the team, and being locally based, they offered the best value. After a site visit and preliminary plan with pricing, I made my decision and notified them of winning my business in mid-September 2024. Since then, PSS has taken care of everything. Their team created a comprehensive plan that was thoroughly reviewed by an engineering firm and then with me. The plan was tweaked after our discussion as they made good recommendations for my property and included my input. They filed all the permits with my township, and made necessary contacts with my electric utility and appropriate inspectors. My solar system was installed on November 1, 2024 and while they needed a second day to sort out my battery back-up system, the solar part of the project was available to be online the next day and allowed me to produce clean solar power (note: I was aware my home already had a net-back meter which helped in this situation but may not apply to all. Tread cautiously if you’re generating solar power without a net-back meter.) Inspections were completed in mid-November under the on-site guidance of a PSS representative and required only a minor adjustment to the electrical panel, which was quickly completed and re-inspection passed. My township and electric utility were automatically notified of the passed inspection. With the holidays fast approaching it took a little bit for the utility to inspect my meter and establish my account as a net-back account, but that was recently completed in early January. With utility permission to operate I am in full solar mode, generating my own electricity and getting credit when sending extra to my utility (note: I’m in PA and the processes may be different in other states or localities). With few hiccups along the way it was a smooth and quickly implemented process. From my timeline you can see this took approximately 4 months from the time I committed to PSS to completion and full permission to operate. I haven’t had the opportunity to use my battery back-up, but I’m comfortable knowing what should happen thanks to the time the staff spent preparing me for when that time comes. The PSS staff is also in the process of setting up my account to receive SREC credits and helping monitor my system to make sure it’s operating as expected. PSS has a website/app that allowed me to follow the installation and approval processes and now serves to provide me daily and historic data on my system production. Between the planning, installation, inspections, and few hours reviewing data and asking questions, I’ve encountered about a dozen PSS employees and none have disappointed. They have all been friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to work with me to keep me informed and ensure all my questions and concerns are addressed. I look forward to continuing my relationship with them and would highly recommend them for anyone interested in a solar project.

I had reached to few solar company's and public service solar fit my needs the best. They were very professional and helpful for start to finish.

Great Design and Highly Professional Service
We recently chose Public Service Solar to install solar panels on our roof after doing extensive research and after receiving multiple bids. Public Service Solar provided the best proposal overall, having both a lower cost per watt and a superior design. Their warranties are also excellent. They did an analysis of the sunlight exposure on my roof, and they proposed installing panels in the areas that received the most sunlight, in order to maximize electricity production. They arranged for permits for my system and worked with my electricity provider to make sure all the details were ready for the installation. After all the parts were ordered and the approvals were in place, they actually installed my system in a single day. They have been professional and great to work with. I *highly* recommend them if you are considering installing solar panels for your house.

Easy to work with
These guys are great. Easy to work with, with no BS. I did shop around but went with Public Service Solar in the end. Why? I got the most straight answers from them. They always answered the phone or email. They install the system themselves. I read multiple horror stories about fly by night contractors installing systems and things going pear shaped quickly. So yes I would recommend theses guys.

Amazing service
Public Service Solar was great! They white-gloved the entire process. I spoke with the people who designed the system and signed off on it. They took care of everything else, including paperwork with the county/state government! Would recommend to anyone who is interested!

Highly Recommend - Informative, Efficient, High Quality
Public Service Solar was incredibly informative, patient with my questions and efficient with the contracting process. They provided a great price on high quality panels. I looked up references not just in reviews, but also on Reddit and it was all positive. The installation was quick and clean - the best home project experience of any kind that I have had. Highly recommend!

Excellent company to work with
Quality of work is excellent. Great Customer service especially Jessica who was solar incentive coordinator. It would have been helpful if they had provided contact info for relevant persons handling the specific phase of the process.

Very happy with service
We are very happy with our decision to go solar. Alex was very knowledgeable and efficient. Install went quickly and the crew cleaned up our yard nicely when done. Ready to start saving money!

Public Service Solar - Excellent!!
If you are interested in installing a solar system for your home, I highly recommend that you choose Public Service Solar. From the first interactions I had with one of their Business Develop Reps, Alex, to the site survey by Joe, I found everyone to be professional and knowledgeable. They took the time to educate me and were completely honest throughout my selection process (which included 15+ companies). The utility and township approvals were done in under 2 weeks (I expected 6+ weeks). This week I had my roof replaced and a solar system installed with a Panasonic battery. And it went like clockwork. They showed up on time, explained what they would be doing and the timeframes. They protected items on the ground and deck from damage and cleaned up well afterward. We also scheduled the final inspection early next week which will allow the utility to complete the final step, swapping out the meter. I'm thrilled with the entire process so far, and I'm glad I chose Public Service Solar.
