Overall Good Experience

I had a 19 panel system installed last week. I’m overall very satisfied with SIF on pricing, quality of equipment, and quality of install. The only area that I wish was a little better is their communication. During my 3 month install process, I called the office 3 times. I never had anyone answer the phone when I called, but they did call me or text me back within 24 hours. Ultimately, no major issue, but hope they improve this going forward. If/when I move, I would be happy to have SIF install a system on my next home.

Less than Stellar

I contracted with Solar is Freedom to install a solar system on an apartment building. The install went fairly well, was completed around 10 months after the initial contract. But the monitoring only showed the power generated. I had a solar system installed in Florida several years earlier, and am quite familiar with the monitoring systems. They show power generated, power used, with graphs and history. When the system was done, it only showed power generated. I felt this was rather odd, and Solar is Freedom advised me the ability to monitor use was an additional cost. Ok, my bad, I didnt understand this up front, so I OK'd installing what it takes to monitor generation as well as consumption. When it was complete, the system seems to be mixing generated power and consumed power on the graph. They tried to fix it, but seem to be at a loss. It has been over a year now, they stopped trying 9 months ago. I filed a comlaint with BBB, again no response from Solar is Freedom. Interesting part is Enphase, the company who manufactures and supports the energy generation monitoring software has a red flag up advising me the readings are not right. Contact your installer... I talked with them, they were at a loss... not sure where to go from here. Buyer Beware.... Systems I had installed in Florida work flawlessly.

Won't service what they sell

Two microinverters need to be replaced (it happens). The manufacturer sent replacement but 1 year later they won't schedule the repair/replacement or return emails or phone calls. I filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau and they didn't respond to that either! DON'T BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. If you do, don't say you weren't warned.

Wonderful experience, fast and efficient.

From start to finish Solar is Freedom has been like family to us. Our account manager Jeff White was always resourceful in answering any and all crazy questions we had about solar panels from our initial meeting, during the production process and finally installation. We had an issue with storm damage to our house and Solar is Freedom was super understanding and waited for all repairs to be completed before installing the solar panels. Our biggest issue was our insurance company and roof replacement. Jeff was super nice and assisted 24/7 with all scheduling adjustments. With 23 panels on our home we are ready to join the power grid and generate our own power. All that is left is swapping out our meter with net metering. Highly recommend.

My Solar Is Freedom Experience.

I found Solar Is Freedom on the web along with several other solar companies. I had two come to give assessments and estimates. Obviously, I chose Solar Is Freedeom. My contact Tat SIF is Adam Tomlin; I could not expect for. better service. Adam never failed to answer questions and get back to me when I needed him. I had a special request in my project, because of supply delays the project took longer to finish than projected. I was never left out of the loop and when I had a question on timing I was given the correct person to contact. I highly recommend Adam Tomlin and Slolar Is Freedom. H. Decker Jones.

Professional, Prompt, Punctual, Proficient......Phantastic!!!

Solar Is Freedom recently installed a 22 panel array on our home and I honestly couldn't be more happy with the results. We've been up and running for about 10 days now (10/20-10/29/21). We have had several cloudy days over that time, yet we are still producing enough electricity to cover our usage. Our production has average around 18kwh per day, with 43 kwh on the one full sunny day that we had during that time. Next week is supposed to be mostly sunny all week, I can't wait to see what those numbers look like. I've been watching the solar app on my phone more than Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram combined. A special shout out to Jeff White, our account manager. Jeff practically replied to my emailed questions before I even sent them. When he didn't know the answer, he pulled in his boss Alex Hentschel, who was equally professional and prompt in responding. The customer service was what customer service should be every where, but rarely is. I would recommend Solar is Freedom to everyone and have already shared their name/contact information with a few friends and family. Go Solar.....no, go Solar Is Freedom. Tell them I sent you. Practically Perfect! Thanks for listening. -Sean Pisano Sunbury, Ohio

Wonderful investment

From our first phone call with Lloyd Hall we were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. There was no high pressure sale, just information on the advantages of solar. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgable and promises were always kept. In July, hottest on record, we kept our a/c at 72 degrees, and had an $8 electric bill!

Do Not Buy Solar Panels From This Company!!

This has been a complete nightmare! First of all, I read all of the wonderful reviews on Google. Our sales lady, Jennifer was very pleasant and assured us that she had no intention of leaving this company. This was back in the end of November. At that time, they were scheduling installs bergen February and March. We were at first very excited about our purchase, come April we were still not on their schedule for the installation. That's when we found out that Jennifer was quitting and she assured us that everything would be taking care of. They finally installed our system the end of May, well not completely. They came out the end of May to dig the trench. It wasn't until the next week before they came back to do the install and another two weeks before they came out to fill in the trench. The operator who dug the trench hit and busted our drain tile, he promised that they would fix it. My husband spoke with a manager and requested that they would take a picture of the fixed drain tile before they back filled the trench. Guess what, they "forgot" to take a picture of the fixed drain tile. Now, we are in the middle of July and they still haven't been back to finish the install. They said that they still need to set up the communication lines and they would contact us when they will be back out to complete this service. Also, the reason you see all of the positive Google reviews is because they pay their customers $500 to leave the positive reviews along with obtaining names and numbers of friends and family for referrals. Very shady company!!!

Reply from Solar Is Freedom (Out of Business): We are working to get the installation finalized. Per our contract, we the final communication will be established as soon as the part required is available. There will also be a quality control inspection scheduled upon completion. As for the comment about reviews, this is a mischaracterization of the customer advocacy program. The sales manager of Columbus will be reaching out.

Excited to no longer be afraid what my electric bill will be.

I researched. Rated within the top 5 companies in the US. Only ones with LG panels which are rated at 2 of the best in the industry. The only company that gave me correct information and was not pushy. Did not try to sell me a bunch of stuff not related to the panels like their insulation or aerators for my water faucets. Best in person experience, my go to person was Karim, he was always available and willing to give me answers that has never happened when working with a contractor before.

About Solar Is Freedom (Out of Business)


SOLAR IS FREEDOM is every home and business owners’ one-stop-shop. This means everything from the first trip out to the last quality control inspection is done by Solar Is Freedom employees, in-house. Each solar purchaser becomes a member of the Solar Is Freedom family. This means when you sign up with us, you are assigned a dedicated account manager to answer all your questions and guide you through the process. This is the Solar Is Freedom difference. Although there is one available, if you accept a solar bid through us, you will never have to call a 1-800 number and wait on hold. Our warranty is in-house and 25 years long, both parts AND labor. This means that when something goes wrong, we fix it. No questions asked, no headache. We install the best because we know all of our product and finance partners have to reflect the unmatched quality and service that the Solar Is Freedom brand stands for. We have high standards for our vendors and are not tied to any one company, but instead, customize the best solution for your home. This means that whatever you want, we can get. If you are like most home and business owners out there, and you are looking for an expert to recommend products for you, then Solar Is Freedom is absolutely the company for you. With our two-step process, we first evaluate the property and customize a solution for you. This always ends up with a Tier-One panel and almost always ends up with a SolarEdge or Enphase inverter. This is why we don’t offer a “click here to get a price” option, we take all the pain and confusion of getting one price that ends up completely different later in the process. Our professional Solar Account Managers evaluate the property, get you a customized design solution, present the bid, and answer any lingering questions you may have. This allows you to make an informed solar decision for your property, and not a rush into anything with blinders on. This approach ensures that expectations are always met, which is reflected in our online reviews. The Solar Is Freedom offices through the midwest have more 5-star reviews on third party websites than any other solar company in our home towns. We are not just counting our five years in business, but we have the most 5 star reviews than any other solar company in our area, period. Schedule today to get your customized bid!
