Apricot is an amazing company. The best solar options and installers from Freedom Forever who do a great job. Zero issues and great savings!

If I had to pick one word it would be SHADY. I worked for them and saw how they do things. They are misleading and manipulative in every way. They promise you unbelievably high commission on your sales. It's only a good deal for them as it's all BS. For each person they get to work for 100% commission they get all their friends/family/colleagues contacts as leads. They not only use their employees for leads but they string you along to work for free for however long it takes to realize you're time is being wasted and you give up having never received a dime. They charge you 10.00/mo for a "back office" where you would be paid if they actually came through. Seeing how they lie and manipulate to get leads it makes sense that they are also dishonest with customers. Steer clear of this shady business. read more

Took seven months to get our solar running, even though we were assured it would be a quick process. We wound up having to pay both the solar and PGE, and than BEG to be reimbursed for paying on panels that weren't working. Slow to no response. STILL waiting to hear back on their true up policy. I definitely don't recommend. read more

I am extremely happy with my solar system & received multiple quotes, and the price that they provide could not have been beaten by any of their competitors. Thanks Apricot! read more

never recommend this company. Their rep Moe that came in our house saying this process would be quick and if any problems he would be the first call and he would resolve it. of course he just wanted the sell. We have left several messages and text and he never responded and I had to call him from a number and of course he answered and told me he would resolve our issue and I never got a call back from him he is such a joke along with this company.now 5 months later we have no working solar panels and we are paying the utilities company and solar company for paper weights on our house. I will never recommend using this solar company. read more

Unprofessional all around, once you sign the paperwork. It's a solar scam company, flashes in for the sale then disappears with false in house contact numbers, used 3rd party outsourced phone center & bad emails. This past year, the (3) positive reviews, generic. No insight or mention of an employee. If service was that good why not give the people who provided that service recognition and their contact info. More than likely it was the scam guys of Apricot Edmund Coutan & Dave Bengal trying to boast their rating for Apricot. So any of their affiliate scam Solar start ups that get researched doesn't look so bad. If those positive reviews were true, then the integrity of the company would respond to their customers and correct any issues. read more

If you're looking for a payment without any explanation whatsoever as to what you're buying please ask for these folks. They're so unconfident with their products that they're not even going to assist you with comparative rates othere are the rates or proper pricing. They'll tell you that they use Tesla but they won't tell you what kind of Tesla models solar panels.. or they're using you're a name brand generator, but they won't even bother to tell you the brand or model. They will tell you that they have a 25 year service plan yet they won't tell you if that plan is included or it service contract something that you pay for. So if you're interested in a unexplained payment for 25 years please give these people a call otherwise don't waste your time they're very crooked. They're so crooked that the sales din't bother to give me his full name or his business card. read more

One star for energy drink; one for slight customer service! We started trying to use Apricot not long after we moved into our house knowing that we wanted sola. Originally a young man from Xfinity came to my door and I asked him to come back in a couple months because we hadn't been in the house long enough. then my daughters friend is a contact for solar so we decided to work with him. He works with Apricot solar and had for a long time and thought we could trust him. 1st, we were told if you refer anyone you will get a $1000 bonus referral - AWESOME right? My daughter referred us to the person we worked with and it's been 8 months, still no referral bonus even after asking about it several times. I too referred someone I knew who would want solar - thinking this was a great company. They contacted her one time and then never again. When I brought it up to this gentleman, asking if he contacted her - he asked for her name again because he had forgotten. WOW! I guess they have so much business it doesn't matter to them. 2nd - we had our solar installed as of Jan 27th and ready to be turned on. Apricot works with a partner company (Freedom I believe) once the solar is installed to get it up and running. This company told us to turn the solar on ourselves - no one was coming out to turn it on!!!! Are you kidding me? but yes, that was correct. My husband did what he understood he was told to do to turn the solar on - he was given written instructions with attached pictures not guided to do it on the phone.. Lo and behold it didn't work. It didn't work because apparently you have to have a special app to turn it on. We watched and waited for several weeks and it didn't work. My husband started calling the company that ran the solar and it took almost 3 months for us to get ia person to RESPOND and finally get out here and then get t up and running. This is the partner company Apricot chooses to work with. Someone was supposed to come out here and turn it on. When we told the person, at Apricot, who got us set up about the issue we had he had our PGE and solar bills adjusted/reimbursed for the months they weren't in use. Um, that's the least you could do. But, this is where the second star comes in for a little bit of customer service. he handled it fairly quickly and deserves props for that. I really did appreciate that. . Also, they make a mean energy drink. But it's just not okay. I understand there can be issues when you set something like this up but setting up solar and not having it for three months; then constantly being rerouted to different people (at Freedom-the partner company) to get the issue handled is ridiculous; It's just been way too much of a hassle. I like having solar don't misunderstand - I just wish I would have went with my gut and used the first gentleman that came too my door (Xfinity) and was not seduced by some stupid referral bonus that doesn't seem to exist (which wasn't even for me, it was for my 25 year old daughter)!!! BTW today I texted the contact I had about the referral bonus and the response is below. I've included our text conversation. read more

See all

Great walking me through my options for going solar. It felony like more of a consultation than a sales process. Freedom forever who the partner with to do the instals was very professional and worked with me when had concerns when they where installing my system. read more

I should of went solar sooner!! Never did because of what some people said so I talked to 5 different solar companies. Apricot was the first company I talked to and the one I ended up doing business with. Mainly because of the sales rep, warranty they offer and some feedback I got from a neighbor down the street where they installed a system at. Save yourself the time. They tailored a solar system to meet all my energy needs. All the other companies didn't want/or offer that until I asked. Apricot was upfront and honest and from the initial visit to the installation everything went smoothly and what was promised was delivered. I couldn't be happier that I started to save money right away and I'm not reliant on PG&E anymore. Win win in my book. Thank you to the team at Apricot Solar!! Pick these guys I promise you won't go wrong. read more

This company is one of many I've talked to, and when I questioned the reviews and had logical questions they couldn't answer, this is verbatim what the sales agent said And you said you were already sold. It's all good, I don't want to work with you any more, bud. I helped 3 homeowners go solar in the last 3 days, and it's taking you a whole week of back and forth. It's just not worth my time any more. Best of luck to you. Hope you eventually go solar with someone. So if they can't answer fair questions and laugh when you ask them, why would anyone use them. read more

One of four salesman was extremely aggressive while trying to drum up business on our street. We wouldn't open the door and we were able to converse through the window, the moment I said not interested he started to play the I can't hear you game. He was not carrying any information to leave with us, no badge, we asked him who he worked for and he should us the logo on his shirt that was covered by a jacket. He was rude and very unprofessional. I'm pretty sure he was recording the whole time. With this type of salesman, I would definitely not recommend this business. This experience was quite upsetting and the lack of work identification made us feel like we were being cased for a robbery. We have also alerted the good neighbors site on Facebook to make our neighbors aware of the unsafe situation. read more

Awesome company especially the owners. Love their vibe and their growth mindset. I highly recommend them!

These jerks are STILL not paying me! DO NOT use them for solar services! They have told me that just because their sales rep promised me the money, doesn't mean they need to pay! They are CROOKS! read more

We sing contract back in March and they promised to will be done in 2weeks. we are almost mid or July still not done yet, paying for utility company and Mosice company ( financing the project) keep threatening me with late bills for a project not yet completed. We called the sale person responded to called couple times and after we never heard back, so we have to do his job by contacting utility company to find out, they have no idea, no one call or send any forms that we are switching to solar, and since March we have supplying utility company for free and paying for utility too!!! called to get more discount for the service and now they are blaming the utility for all delaying the project !! asking for company management/executive names, phone number to call and report , how they should handle the customer, and !!!

Great Service and a five star experience. Getting solar is a process and Apricot was with me every step of the way.

I'm looking to expose the fraud here. They will come and install the panels but try getting it turned on. The finger is pointed at PG&E. What good is the panels if it cannot produce electricity for you. Until PG&E can schedule and finish their backlog your money is wasted. DO NOT sign up until this is solved. People who give 5 star review give $100 from one of the companies in providing the solution. It is disservice to the community. read more

My family and I had the pleasure of using Apricot Solar to get Solar panels on our homes in Las Vegas. The guys were super friendly and definitely did things differently from other companies. It's a great feeling to contribute to the environment, going green and saving money in the process! Will be recommending to my friends. read more

not good, been trying for a couple weeks now to get ahold of them and no call back, Made promises and didn't keep them I advise to not go with them read more

This is what this company calls professional sales reps, we opted to not do solar, offered to revisit it later with them and this unprofessional rep, Donte, decided that his personal opinion is what customer service is, so no thanks won't be working with you guys at any point! "Honestly that sounds like an excuse man. I've bent over backwards to make sure y'all are taken care of. The lawn is a real crappy excuse. Because it doesn't cost you guys anything to go solar and you could use your tax credit towards your lawn. You also wouldn't have a solar payment till close to 2022. But good luck! from one person in sales to another" Someone at your company should explain customer service to this guy. read more

One of the least professional companies I have met. The representative said, for anything, give me a call or text or email. When things mattered, the representative did not have the courtesy to answer phone calls, texts, or emails. Due to their actions, I took a credit score hit because a loan was disbursed on an inactive project (after verbal communication of cancellation). Even after the loan was disbursed, they made zero effort to fix things and kept ghosting. I had to spend time trying to tie off all the loose ends. Please be very careful when working with them. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Apricot Solar is by far one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. Their customer service is horrible. Their sales reps make promises they can't keep. They will overcharge you, not fix their mistakes, mess up your contacts than stop returning your calls when you try and fix it. Management is just as bad and incompetent to do their job. I'm now stuck with this Solar for 20 years and by far its one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. Management also shares their employees personal information with customers. Calling corporate is a joke as well you can't get through to anyone and it loops you to Freedom Forever who is the installer and has nothing to do with my account. I will add that Freedom Forever went above and beyond to try and help me fix this but the information needed is beyond what they do. Apricot Solar has had numerous chances to fix this and done nothing. Do not work with this company unless you want to be screwed over repeatedly. read more

I love apricot solar! When we moved our PGE bill was crazy expensive. The rep they sent us was nice and friendly and I didn't feel like I was being sales pitched at all. The process was simple and painless and from start to finish they were there to answer any questions I had. Also after many other quotes I had gotten were by far the best price out there! Now my bill is a fraction of what it was with our new solar set up. Thank you!!! read more

Do not knock on someone's door if there is a no soliciting sign present. Watched the guy read the sign, shrug and vocally say "welp" and proceed to knock. read more

Unable to reach anyone at this company, regardless of which number I ring. They sold a system to a disabled family member of mine, never telling her a lien woukd be placed on her home. The salesman used the phrase " contract for 25 years!" Disgusting that they woukd take advantage of a disabled senior citizen! Filing a complaint with the State of California. read more

I wanted to get solar just to help a friend who works for the company. That is the main problem to help someone because the company took advantage of my goodwill. The company gave me a 3 hour consultant appointment just to wear me out without providing any useful informations that will help me made wise decision. The solar they quoted me was almost 40,000 dollars for a 2440 square feet home. very bad experience I had. read more

We were visited by two sales reps with no last name from Apricot. I assumed they were from Apricot (which I had never heard of) as they were identified only by their t-shirt logo. They wanted to use my wifi account. Spent 1.5 hours with them and they never provided one ounce of information. The only info provided was multiplication of 20 years x our monthly electric bill. Their computer was shielded from my view the entire 1.5 hours it was supposedly analyzing the roof, sun and house location to determine number of panels needed. Never provided a picture of the panels, never told us an exact number of panels - only a range, only info was the statement that the size of panel is 3' X 6'. No literature. No names of solar products or manufacturers, except Tesla which "was sometimes used". Did not know their top competitors. Received phone calls during visit and both requested to use bathroom, each separately. They left when we said TIME WAS UP FOR US. There was NO presentation whatsoever. We looked up Apricot after they left to find the above sad reviews. Only positive reviews are from those who supposedly "work" for company...not customers. Seems like a very big SCAM. Those "sales" reps came via a slick online ad which features Tesla power panels, etc. and new "government program" just announced. We cancelled online accounts and changing passwords, wifi, etc. to protect ourselves. Do not work with this company. Whatever was going down on their computer had nothing to do with their supposed "presentation" which as I said they never provided. read more

I purchased my system through Apricot solar due to my son being friends with hector the sales guy. He was supposed to design it big enough so if I wanted to add a pool or a spa I would be covered. We'll not only did apricot & freedom solar who actually designs the system not do that, they under built my system. I live by myself and hardly use anything. After 3 1/2 months I'm already getting charges from the electric company. I had the electric company come out to check they're side and they verified everything was g. They even told me my system was too small for my house. After many emails and phone calls with my sales guy and freedom, all freedom kept saying is everything is fine system works. Freedom then after tons of emails blames the system being too small on apricot solar. I told hector from apricot I just want a solution I want it made riget. He stopped answering. I no have a lawyer involved. Stay away from both of these companies. read more
