We chose Son Energy Systems because we were looking for an experienced, local solar company with excellent online reviews. To begin the planning phase Ron (owner/engineer) and Rick (electrician) and the installation crew did an actual on-site / on-roof evaluation of our 1938 coastal New London home complete with sun lines and structural analysis. Compared with proposals by 3 other companies (which lacked on-site evaluation), Ron's design for our system proved to be the largest capacity (12kw) system with the highest quality equipment and top rated LG solar panels at the best price. As a result Son Energy became our Solar Company. Ron guided our project through CT Green Bank approval, a required professional engineering review due to our coastal location, and subcontracted roofing work with structural enhancement all without a single problem. Ron made multiple visits to insure the projects quality and progress. The excellence and craftsmanship of our solar panel installation by Ron and his crew and of the electrical work by Rick was impressive. Their work even earned high praise by the New London building inspector. The whole crew was hard working, polite, friendly, and very neat. Over the last 3 months our solar system has performed flawlessly. It has achieved its design parameters with 10kw max power production and it has fully covered our electrical power needs including the daily charging of a new Chevy Bolt EV. Our recent $10/month electric bills for electric service connection are very nice. Credit for the excess electrical power generated in Aug and Sept should carry us through the gray winter months with limited electric bills courtesy of net metering. Our roof mounted solar panels have now withstood 2 recent storms with winds gusting to 50 mph and torrential rains, all without a problem. Our experience with Ron Tooker and Son Energy Systems has been excellent. We highly recommend Son Energy Systems.
