April from Somerdale NJ
I have had my ARS installed solar system for over a year now. As far as the workmanship and design, I was really concerned about how the panels would look on my roof as I really wanted it to be symmetrical. ARS designed my system around all my wants and needs and they were very accommodating considering all of my concerns. They helped facilitate a needed new roof as well! Everything went seamlessly, very clean and respectful workmanship. It is performing exactly the way Alex explained it would. I have earned over $3,200 in 12 months and most months my electric bill is under $5 even during the summer. Before signing with ARS, I had several solar companies reach out to me. I almost signed with one until I read the fine print and saw that I only would be saving just a little off of my electric bill and that it was actually a 20 year lease that escalated 2.9% every year. That was not explained to me at all. They were very misleading and did not explain all of the incentives that I was signing away. Thankfully I pulled out of the contract in time, but I lost trust in the industry. About a year later I saw an ARS/Nextek commercial, loved that they were a local company and that Alex (my solar consultant) was actually our Babe Ruth baseball coach. I felt solar was a scam so I decided to ask him what the deal was. He came out to my house, explained everything thoroughly and was very patient with my many, many questions. He explained why these solar companies are so eager to get to as many people as they can. There’s a lot of money to be made for going solar in NJ and that’s what they’re after. I have zero regrets going solar with ARS. I am confident that I found the best company to work with and I know they’ll be with me for the long haul. It’s one of the best financial decisions I have made
