Thrilled with my home solar array!

After RFP’ing 6 solar companies early this year, I chose GPE for my home solar project in March'24. Steve M. handled the sale and was extremely helpful answering my questions as I evaluated options over a few weeks. There was an unexpected gap in comms/progress in the couple of weeks after I signed the contract, but it seems GPE was just handling back-end engineering work. Their role in installation was informative and painless. I went with 20 REC panels & Enphase inverters, as well as a main panel upgrade to 200A. After installation was done, their team was happy to come out and reposition 2 of the panels since we determined more space was available than initially thought. I applaud their electricians, Frank and Claudio, and their installation team for all being skilled and pleasant. Michelle was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. She effectively bridged gaps between GPE's different teams to help things get done as quickly as they could manage. Our array finally went live on 8/28. The process was lengthy, but I mostly blame the delays on unforeseen issues that PSEG & the Township needed to handle. Utilities and municipalities are less than stellar at coordinating efforts, especially when involving multiple of their own teams. I'll also note that GPE is pricier per watt than most other solar companies. They say this is due to their expertise, especially in the tri-state/Jersey area, and I think that's valid. Their PPW was notably higher than my runner-up company even after GPE's limited time $1,500 discount, upgrade to REC panels at no extra cost, and price match of the runner-up for my main panel upgrade. I'm very happy I went with them under the circumstances, but I don't think I'd be as thrilled if I hadn't secured any of that extra value. Overall, I’d highly recommend GPE if you’re willing to pay more for their experience in the field and customer service. Thanks GPE!
