Solar system
After due diligence, I decided to go with Solar tech. They were upfront and prompt to design me a system for my home. Installation was quick, permitting not so much. I did have a roof leak, promptly fixed by them, but hence the 4 star rating.

Buckle up, this is a long review, but hopefully worth it if you use them to help make your decisions. If you want the Reader’s Digest / TLDR - I highly recommend Ross and STE. if you want better details, read on. I have always been interested in solar but knew I needed to wait till I was in my presumably forever home, which we now are. In the spring, I started looking into local solar companies. I lurked on community Facebook posts, spoke with neighbors, and lined up meetings with five companies that people had used. Ross was the first we met with, so at the time, we had no perspective. He made confident claims about his company, which I took with a grain of salt. We met with three more after him. Ross included not just the numbers in his estimate, but also detailed information about the system components so I could go look them up, which I did, so I could determine if other estimates were apples / oranges. His system components are the same as several of his competitors and he was almost $15k less expensive. I found that he explained the tax credits very well, and appreciate that if one wants to finance their system, Ross only uses an organization that charges no dealer fees. Another company that came to present to us tried to sell me on “a great rate” for financing and when I told him I would not pay dealer fees, he visibly got nervous and smirked and asked how I knew what those were. Needless to say we asked that guy to leave. Ross set our expectations very realistically considering we were installing the system in the dead of summer. He explained net metering in Florida very well with visuals to help drive the concept home. When we agreed to do business after I had interviewed other companies, another point of discussion was the fact that we have trees that shade our south roof facade. The trees are mature and beautiful and healthy, and they also don’t belong to us. So, there’s only so much we could do even if we wanted to. I got two tree trimming quotes and decided to take what they would have charged for that and buy more panels instead. In my research I discovered that even if the installer uses Enphase, they don’t always install ancillary parts of the systems and/or turn on all the options in the app, so you can’t see consumption vs production. Ross does. I geek out every day now looking at the data and knowing we are no longer slaves to Duke Energy and our thermostat. Ross remained communicative throughout the process. His installers have been with him for years. They were personable and professional when they were at our home. Celeste, his right hand office manager gal, is friendly and always quick to respond. I live local to his business HQ, so I’m also aware of several large commercial projects they did in the next town over. If you speak with him for an estimate, he will surely make the same confident claims about his business that he did with us. I can now say he lived up to all of them. That’s a rarity these days, so I give him credit for that and he deserves a great review.

Great company to work with
Had a great experience w/ Ross and his team at Solar Tech Elec. Everything was really easy to follow and he gave a ton of great information... he even clarified some bad info I got from other Solar companies. Even though they were not the cheapest option, I believed I got a good deal with a reliable company after talking w/ Ross. He seemed like a very genuine person who wanted to make a connection before a sale. On the day of the install, all the guys who came to my house were polite, professional, and did a great job. I really appreciate the job they all did and highly recommend for other folks interested in Solar!

SolarTech Electric
Solar Tech Electric was thorough in their sales presentation and answered all of our questions. We asked for quotes from Momentum Solar, Solar Trek SolarTech Electric. SolarTech came through with the first proposal and it ended up being the best price. After reviewing we decided to go with SolarTech because of the thoroughness of their proposal, their response, a good review from our friends who had used them and price. I can’t honestly say that everything was perfectly smooth once the contract was signed but, all in all, SolarTech performed well and got the system installed when they said they would. I would also add that in our current difficult climate of employers having a difficult time hiring good help that SolarTech has some great employees who seem to have a passion for getting things right. I recommend them and will not hesitate to call them if we need solar on our other home. perfectly smooth once the contract was signed but, all in all, SolarTech performed well and got the system installed when they said they would.

Great company to choose
Daniel was great to work with because there was no hard sell and it was clear those guys know what they're doing very well. I had another quote from a different company that was way higher and they were all focused on trying to tell me how much the monthly payment would be but it was going to be a lot more money for a lot fewer panels. So solar tech elec did a great job on the installation and service and pricing is also super good. Anyone looking for solar panels should definitely give these guys a call.

Quick and efficient!
My husband and I were very impressed with Ross and his team. Another company said it would be 3-4 months until install and way more expensive. Ross had it installed and producing power in less than two weeks from first meeting with him. It was a super painless experience!
