BEWARE!

EHS quoted my solar panels. After discussing my electrical usage they determined I get 8 panels. It was explained thoroughly after the panels were up, passed inspection and Duke was set, there was the enphase app I would download and it would show my production, usage as well as individual panel production. Brian came out for the exit visit which was to show me how it worked but since it was going to take longer than his stay to download all the information from the previous week, he couldn’t go through everything. When everything was downloaded and working on the app, I went logged in only to find I could not see my usage. I called EHS and was told by Brittany that I didn’t order that panel and it would cost $500 for that box. Never was there an option presented and after being told by Josh (my salesman) that I would be able to see all this information, why would I question if I had to buy a particular box? This was the icing on the cake since I have been waiting for a month for Josh to call or text me back. After several calls and leaving messages when his voice mail wasn’t full, texting him and calling the company and leaving messages, he would not return my calls to try and resolve all the issues. One of the issues was an advertisement that the solar system would come with a free Tesla Battery. I sent him all the screen shots of the ad and never a word back about it. This was even after he called to apologize for not getting back to me and said he was at EHS and would call me back when he got inside. Never heard from him and it’s been a couple weeks already. Then I asked for the signed contract which Josh and I spoke about putting in the notes specified information. He sent me the drafts and I agreed on the draft dated March 15, 2024. Turns out the signed contract that was sent to me did not include any notes and they switched the panels from Silfab to Q-Cell. I called EHS and was told there are no notes. Then I was told by Brittany she saw several drafts that Josh showed her. I said yes there were so why wouldn’t the contract contain any notes? I asked to speak to the owner of the company. Brittany said he doesn’t speak to customers. I went online to watch a youtube how Shawn Henry says they provide customer satisfaction. NO THEY DON’T! They tell you things, even put it in writing and advertise online, then switch it on you. On March 15, 2024 when I accepted the notes in the contract, Josh told me after the system was up and running he would refund me $120 as we discussed since the first quotes of the 8 panel system they originally quotes me they claimed they couldn’t do a system that small. Why was I quoted prices by two different people at the company for an 8 panel system? Seems like a lot of bait and switch. Josh presented everything I wanted and then changed it. The company has done nothing to rectify any of this.

Absolutely Disgusted

PLEASE READ FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION "Absolutely Disgusted": Is the title of our review. The only thing that went smoothly was the processing of the financing. Everything else was a complete and utter failure. Prior to the day of installation my wife and I prepared the area of install and replaced all of our plumbing vent stacks with brand new varmint proof stacks, as we would not be able to easily access them after the solar array was in place. The vents were to remain accessible per the signed and sealed engineering plans that were provided to us. Install day proved that these people have no idea what they are doing. The installation was a total abomination and hack-job. Zero skills possessed by the installation crew. The crew deviated from the signed and sealed engineering plans without any approval from anyone and cut off the brand-new vent stacks and covered them. The crew missed the roof rafters in multiple locations when anchoring the grid mounts as well. Our first call was to our salesman, that first said the crew should never do that, only to later contradict himself and declare that the install crews are the professionals and know what they are doing. Not really a true statement!!! Our salesman became combative, and I subsequently band him from our property. 3 failed Hillsborough County inspections later and 3 more visits by 3 different crews, a few of whom that stated, "we really hate working there". We found through conversations with the last crew, that most of the other crew members had quit. We repeatedly telephoned the office and sent emails only to get the "we will have to get back with you" response. The ongoing delays aligned perfectly with the arrival of our first billing cycle due date for the solar system financing, resulting in the joy of paying our TECO bill along with our new solar system finance payment!! The array was finally adjusted and EHS ordered the replacement vent stacks but it was another lame job due to the fact that the vent pipes were already cut so short. A week later we went live, with no fanfare, we were shown the app, and one of the panels were not producing. The technician told us it takes time for it to register. 3 more attempts to get that resolved and nothing. Now a month after going live it is still not producing. Called the office today and it just rang, no voicemail, I then mailed our original contact and mail demon replied: Not a valid email address. I could go on and on about how something we were so looking forward to having installed and the going green and doing our part......has totally sucked!!!! Seek out your solar needs elsewhere my follow consumers, this is not a place to do business with.

1st review after owning for 4.5 years

I was excited to get a solar system installed but after it was installed there was a lack of communication and won't get into that. Owning now for over 4 years my savings is not what I expected it to be. I own about a 1950 square foot home with an upright freezer and two refrigerators. As well a few small fridges that are not on often. One 3 ton air conditioner with an additional high efficiency mini split for the bedroom and a triple head system for the back three bedrooms. Also a mini split for the shed. Now you might say that is a lot of AC but in fact it is high efficiency and not all the mini splits work all of the time. We have a very small pool pump. Last year I spent $2,851.53 on electricity and paid for my solar system $62,000.00 back in 2019. January's FPL bill was 358.47. So the pay back is decades and yes I am sure I am getting some relief it my yearly FPL bill but to be honest it is not all what it is cracked out to be and $62,000.00 certainly can pay for a lot of electricity over the next several tears in addition to what I am paying now. My honest opinion I am not impressed so be ware what you buy into. I'm stuck with it and the only person that will benefit is the next person that buys my house. The problem is I don't want to sell so I am stuck with it.
